Automating A Data Pipeline For A Rapid Weeding Project Dashboard, David Arredondo, Matt Mcdowall

Posters, Proceedings, and Presentations: CTR Library

In the fall of 2022, our library began preparing for a renovation project by rapidly weeding our main stacks. Using our LSP reporting platform, Alma Analytics, as the primary data source, we automated a data pipeline to generate, collect, process, and update a data dashboard daily. Primary tools used were Alma Analytics, Power Automate, and PowerBI. The dashboard provides daily updates to reflect the project’s progress to everyone in the Library.

The techniques used for this project can be applied to many different scenarios. However, the ugly question remains – if you build it, will they care?

Information Ethics, Publishing And Plagiarism Among Academics, Philip Chike Aghadiuno, Simon Shachia Oryila

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The need for academics to be authority in their fields of specialisation is a fundamental requirement of the academic life. Yet, some academics do not wish to undergo the rigorous career path to excellence in teaching and research. Other younger academics wish to but do not know how to go about it. It is in the light of this that this article examines the inter-relationship between information ethics, publishing and plagiarism in the life of an academic. It also examines the gains of a productive academic life and how failure to publish or uphold ethical conduct in research or publishing …

Support For Open Access At Sdsu : Recommendations, Enerel Dambiinyam, Michael Biondo, Kristi Tornquist

Hilton M. Briggs Library Faculty Publications

According to the Open Access Advocacy organization, SPARC, Open Access (OA) is defined as "the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access ensures that anyone can access and use these results—to turn ideas into industries and breakthroughs into better lives." (https://sparcopen.org/open-access/)

Becoming an Open Access-friendly institution typically requires support from a university’s administrators, librarians, researchers, and students.
The following recommendations for an SDSU OA initiative include benefits, steps, and vision for long-range support of Open Access at South Dakota State University.

February 2023 Table Of Contents Newsletter - Library Instruction, Tiffany Hebb, Kayla Birt Flegal

Table of Contents Newsletter

Dean's Preface: The semester is underway! Roy O. West Library has reopened and students are finding their place(s) to study, read, and write. It's been fun to see them tucked in every nook and to help several find books on the shelves. While library services remained available, with alteration, during the pandemic and renovation, it is clear how much we all missed the main campus library. This issue highlights our library instruction program and the ways we help students learn to use the many resources and services the libraries provide. We are excited to bring classes into the library (Roy …

Roesch Library Staff Publications

The American Library Association (ALA) Core Preservation Administration Interest Group (PAIG) held a Symposium on the Future of Library Binding in 2022. Following the symposium, the ALA Core Library Binding Practices Survey Team (hereafter, “Team”) was convened to explore issues that arose during the symposium. The Team members volunteered to create a survey on current library binding practices to gain a better understanding of who is using library binding as a preservation and access method, how they are using such services, and the challenges that face the community.
