Merging Two Academic Libraries: Finding Unity From Diversity While Maintaining Institutional Identities, Betty Rozum, Lori Brassaw
Merging Two Academic Libraries: Finding Unity From Diversity While Maintaining Institutional Identities, Betty Rozum, Lori Brassaw
Library Faculty & Staff Publications
Merging two distinct academic libraries into one presents unique problems and challenges. In 2010 the Utah System of Higher Education officially mandated that the College of Eastern Utah merge with Utah State University in order to reduce costs and promote efficiencies within the College of Eastern Utah, an institution hit particularly hard during the recent economic decline. Although the College of Eastern Utah was clearly becoming part of Utah State University, one of the charges was to maintain its core mission and unique identity. It was important that the College of Eastern Utah Library be seen as a separate entity, …

The Library As An Academic Partner In Student Retention And Graduation: The Library’S Collaboration With The Freshman Year Seminar Initiative At The Bronx Community College, Jesus E. Sanabria
Collaborative Librarianship
In order for academic libraries to continue to demonstrate their value in an age of accountability, developing strong collaborations is essential. Collaborations provide a first rate opportunity for librarians not only to demonstrate their value to the institution and the research practices of the faculty but to facilitate teaching students how to navigate an increasingly diverse and at times confusing information environment driven by access to several technologies. For students entering college, learning early how to navigate the library and its resources can become an important element to their academic success. Inclusion of the library faculty into the development and …
Making Higher Education More Affordable, One Course Reading At A Time: Academic Libraries As Key Advocates For Open Access Textbooks And Educational Resources, Karen Okamoto
Publications and Research
Open access textbooks (OATs) and educational resources (OERs) are being lauded as a viable alternative to costly print textbooks. Some academic libraries are joining the OER movement by creating guides to open repositories. Others are promoting OATs and OERs, reviewing them, and even helping to create them. This article analyzes how academic libraries are currently engaged in open access textbook and OER initiatives. By drawing on examples of library initiatives across the United States, the author illustrates how libraries are facilitating the adoption and implementation of these affordable resources.

Fundraising In Academic Libraries: A Case Study Of Selected Academic Libraries In Southwest Nigeria, Ronke Anke Olurayi
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
ABSTRACT
This study examines fundraising in academic libraries as a global problem. This has become imperative since what these libraries receive from the government through their parent institutions is not sufficient to maintain and sustain library services and operations. Academic libraries in Nigeria have resorted to other ways of raising funds for their libraries due to world economic recession and inflation which has hampered them from effectively and efficiently meeting their set objectives. This study therefore investigated fundraising in selected academic libraries in the southwest of Nigeria in order to ascertain their sources of funds, how adequately it is received, …
High-Impact Educational Practices: An Exploration Of The Role Of Information Literacy, Catherine Fraser Riehle, Sharon A. Weiner
High-Impact Educational Practices: An Exploration Of The Role Of Information Literacy, Catherine Fraser Riehle, Sharon A. Weiner
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
There is an expectation that college students graduate with competency in information literacy. Ideally, institutions of higher education integrate these competencies throughout their curricula in a progressive manner. High-impact educational practices contribute to student success. The purpose of this article is to examine recent literature about five of the high-impact educational practices (capstone experiences, learning communities, service learning and community-based learning, undergraduate research, and writing-intensive courses) to understand the extent to which they include the integration of information literacy competencies. The article includes recommendations for practice and research in the areas of assessment, pedagogy, and program planning.

The results were surprising and challenging, yet productive in forming a benchmark for further collaboration between librarians and faculty in student use of library services and resources.
Regarding Reference In An Academic Library: Does The Desk Make A Difference?, Patricia Bravender, Hazel Mcclure
Regarding Reference In An Academic Library: Does The Desk Make A Difference?, Patricia Bravender, Hazel Mcclure
Patricia Bravender
Some academic libraries are consolidating their circulation and reference desks into single service points. The librarians at one academic library undertook a study to determine if such a consolidation would affect their reference service. They analyzed the number and type of questions asked during times when a librarian was physically present at the reference desk and compared it to the number and type of questions asked when a librarian was "on call" (not present at the desk, but available to be called to the service desk to answer reference questions) over a period of seven academic semesters. This article reports …
