Managing Disruptive Patron Behavior In Law Libraries: A Grey Paper, Nicole P. Dyszlewski, Kristen R. Moore, Genevieve Tung
AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers
Nearly all law library staff have encountered, and likely will encounter, some measure of challenging patron behavior. In this article, the authors develop best practices based on their 2014 online survey of law library staff, follow-up correspondence with several survey respondents, and a review of case law and relevant literature within law librarianship and other fields.
Partnership Between Library And Graduate School For Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Adrian K. Ho
Partnership Between Library And Graduate School For Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Adrian K. Ho
Adrian K. Ho
This presentation describes how the library and the Graduate School at the University of Kentucky collaborated to streamline the thesis and dissertation submission process. The outcome was that the Graduate School implemented an electronic thesis and dissertation mandate in Fall 2013 and students now submit their theses or dissertations directly to the institutional repository, which enables immediate free online access to their research.
Opportunities And Challenges For Public Libraries To Enhance Community Resilience, Shari R. Veil, Bradley Wade Bishop
Opportunities And Challenges For Public Libraries To Enhance Community Resilience, Shari R. Veil, Bradley Wade Bishop
Bradley Wade Bishop
This study bridges a gap between public library and emergency management policy versus practice by examining the role of public libraries in the community resource network for disaster recovery. Specifically, this study identifies the opportunities and challenges for public libraries to fulfill their role as a FEMA designated essential community organization and enhance community resilience. The results indicate there are several opportunities for libraries to enhance community resilience by offering technology resources and assistance; providing office, meeting, and community living room space; serving as the last redundant communication channel and a repository for community information and disaster narratives; and adapting …

Transforming The Library Website, Amy C. York
Transforming The Library Website, Amy C. York
Amy York
A library website is not just a marketing tool, it is an extension of the library. The level of control that an external IT department wields over your web presence impacts how well you can respond to the needs of your remote users. Libraries should maintain as much control as possible over their websites, preferably by hosting them on their own servers.

Collaborative Strategies To Meet The Challenges Of Serving Graduate Students, Michele D. Behr, Barbara J. Cockrell
Collaborative Strategies To Meet The Challenges Of Serving Graduate Students, Michele D. Behr, Barbara J. Cockrell
Barbara J Cockrell
Recent LibQual+ (2004) and Off-campus Satisfaction (2002, 2006) surveys at Western Michigan University revealed that graduate students had information needs that were not being met. Many lack awareness of resources and the necessary research skills for performing graduate level research, yet instructors are reluctant to relinquish class time for library sessions and the students themselves are reluctant to seek the individual help they need. In 2005-6 we collaborated with the Graduate College to offer new graduate workshops that were not class related but were instead part of a Strategies for Success series that was already in place. These workshop topics …

Introduction. This study explored graduate students' information behaviour related to their process of inquiry and scholarly activities. Method. In depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with one hundred graduate students representing all disciplines and departments from Carnegie Mellon University. Analysis. Working in pairs, we coded transcripts of interviews into meaningful categories using ATLAS.ti software. The combined use of quantitative and qualitative analysis aimed to reduce subjectivity. Results. Graduate students often begin with a meeting with professors who provide direction, recommend and provide resources. Other students help to shape graduate students' research activities, and university library personnel provide guidance in finding resources. …

Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson
Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson
Ira Steven Nathenson
This Article addresses 'spamdexing,' namely, the practice of stuffing invisible keywords into webpages in order to try to get more favorable listings with search engines. For instance, some website owners will stuff the trademarks of competitors into a webpage’s code, particularly by using 'meta tags,' indexing keywords that can be hidden in a webpage’s source code. Although meta tags are not typically viewed by users, the code can be read by search engines, with the result that webpages may be improperly boosted in search engine rankings. Such practices can confuse the public and have also spurred trademark lawsuits. But the …
Unobtrusive Studies And The Quality Of Academic Library Reference Services, Jo Bell Whitlatch
Unobtrusive Studies And The Quality Of Academic Library Reference Services, Jo Bell Whitlatch
Jo Bell Whitlatch
This article uses empirical data from a recent obtrusive study of reference performance to explore content validity and assumptions regarding unobtrusive studies. Data collected by author support the contention that improvements are highly desirable before conducting more unobtrusive studies of reference service. The two most important changes concern the development of test questions representing all types of queries and supplementing the correct fill rate with other measures of reference performance.
Academic Library Services: The Literature Of Innovation, Jo Bell Whitlatch, Judy Reynolds
Academic Library Services: The Literature Of Innovation, Jo Bell Whitlatch, Judy Reynolds
Jo Bell Whitlatch
Innovation has the potential for increasing the effectiveness of information service. As a result of this interest in innovation, organizational theorists have begun to explore the effect of organizational design upon flexibility, creativity, and productivity of organizations. A review of existing literature, however, provides no comprehensive theory of organizational innovation. Research on organizational design and innovation in libraries could contribute to the systematic study of the impact of organization structure . Studies by Howard and Luquire indicate that traditional library organizations may inhibit change as well as the reexamination of values and service. Further study is needed to determine how …
Library Use Patterns Among Full- And Part-Time Faculty And Students, Jo Bell Whitlatch
Library Use Patterns Among Full- And Part-Time Faculty And Students, Jo Bell Whitlatch
Jo Bell Whitlatch
Trends in higher education are toward part-time students and majors in professional fields which are associated with low library use. Research findings at San Jose State University, California and other academic libraries, demonstrate that declining library use may be a future trend. Declining use will further erode administrative support for library budgets. Libraries must become effective in identifying and meeting the information needs of new nontraditional students. User surveys establishing service priorities can be an effective tool in planning library service for future student and faculty populations.
