Scanning The Digital: Using Survey Data To Support Digital Scholarship Initiatives At The University Of Mississippi, Abigail Norris, Adam Clemons, Alex Watson

The Southeastern Librarian

Digital scholarship (the use of digital technology in research or teaching applications) is a new and growing field but many Mississippi libraries, including the University of Mississippi, are not officially supporting digital scholarship. To change this, librarians at the University of Mississippi sent out an online survey to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students in order to gauge their interest in and experience with digital scholarship methods and tools and how the library can best support digital scholarship on campus.

University Libraries’ Digital Strategic Framework, Annie Bélanger, Kristin Meyer, Patrick Roth

Library Reports and Communication

The Grand Valley State University Libraries’ digital strategic framework articulates and creates a shared understanding of the principles, values, and decision-making criteria that have shaped the Libraries’ approach to digital investments, priorities, and initiatives in the recent past and will continue to guide digital strategy development through 2025.

School Wide Digital Devices And The Impact On The Role Of School Librarians, Laura Jeanne Haverkamp

Theses and Dissertations

This mixed methods study examines what happens to the role of the school librarian when schools move to a 1:1 model where every student has a digital device.

The researcher found that there was little uniformity in deployment and support of devices in 1:1 schools, but that librarians felt their roles had changed and their overall …

Lessons Learned In Lmu Digital Commons, Arya Hackney

Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020

When creating an institutional repository (IR) from scratch, there are both challenges and opportunities before the manifestation of the IR, during it, and the final product. Maintaining the IR in kind also introduces additional considerations to navigate. Is it only one person who creates and maintains the IR, or is it the community? Or is it somewhere in between? What is the ideal scenario and what is the realistic outcome? Is there any way to anticipate the bureaucratic demands for the IR’s presence? This presentation answers all these questions, some answers simpler than others using LMU Digital Commons as an …

Digital Directions In Academic Knowledge Management: Visions And Opportunities For Digital Initiatives At The University Of Toledo, Arjun Sabharwal

Arjun Sabharwal

The expansion of the Digital Initiatives program beyond archives and special collections is creating new paradigms and opportunities in collaboration across the University of Toledo. Shifting economic realities and priorities, however, have prompted academic institutions to realign services in support of online learning, electronic publishing, and other high-priority strategic goals. Legacy projects to digitize collections of photographs, recordings, rare books, historical newspapers, and maps remain important, but archives and academic libraries may consider new directions in academic knowledge management. In fact, strategies and practices rooted in knowledge management may help academic institutions develop innovative services and resources, promote new paradigms …
