When Students Drive Design: Creating A Family Study Room For Students Who Are Parents, Jennifer F. Paustenbaugh, C. Jeffrey Belliston
When Students Drive Design: Creating A Family Study Room For Students Who Are Parents, Jennifer F. Paustenbaugh, C. Jeffrey Belliston
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The paper focuses on a user-centered design project in the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University (BYU). BYU students who are parents comprise about 25% of the student population. University leaders have a goal for students to graduate in fewer semesters. Some students—especially females—drop out of school upon becoming a parent. Other students delay graduation by taking fewer classes in order to attend to their parental duties. Student parents who use the library frequently did not feel welcome when accompanied by their children. Oftentimes the parents elected not to use the library as the study resource it was …

Knowing Me, Knowing You. Making User Perspectives An Integrated Part Of Library Design Thinking, Idun Knutsdatter Østerdal, Una Ersdal, Astrid Kilvik, Karen Johanne Buset, Liv Inger Lamøy
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
User experience (UX) refers to users' emotions, experiences and behavior when using products, systems and services. Traditionally, UX is applied to assess changes with websites and operating systems, but libraries have started applying the same usability principles to their physical spaces and services. NMC´s Horizon Report 2017 estimates that valuing the user experience is on-trend the coming years. Used as a set of tools in library development, UX methods enables us to understand and improve library users' experiences. Mixing qualitative and quantitative techniques to obtain deeper insights into user needs: A key point being to discover needs users themselves are …

The Future Of Our Children – Providing Library Spaces For Future Educators At The Cape Peninsula University Of Technology (Cput), Michiel Moll, Petro Coreejes-Brink, Joanne Arendse
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The Cape Peninsula University of Technology has two different campuses on which teacher training takes place – the Mowbray campus with around 2500 education students and the Wellington campus with its 2000 education students. Both campuses were originally designed and built as Colleges of education but were incorporated into the Cape Technikon in 2001 and CPUT in 2005. The libraries were designed to cater for both academic and teaching needs, with many different collections. However these have changed dramatically in nature and use in the last ten years. It was decided to remodel both libraries and incorporate a specialised area …

Roboter Ante Portas? About The Deployment Of A Humanoid Robot Into A Library, Benjamin Stahl, Janett Mohnke, Frank Seeliger
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Robots are common practice in industrial production, where they already control production processes. In many hospitals they support medical staff during complicated operations. There are robots in some libraries, that support the time-consuming process of inventory. However, in general libraries have been a rather unusual place for introducing robot applications so far and especially humanoid robots are still more than unusual in public nowadays. Can humanoid robots be useful in daily life? What makes sense and what is just technical gimmick? For almost two years, the Technical University of Applied Sciences in Wildau has owned two so called Pepper robots1. …

How Can The University Library At Oslomet – Oslo Metropolitan University Become An Important Arena For Culture, Art And Debate?, Tone Berg Knudsen, Hege Skahjem
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
OsloMet acquired university status in 2018, and as a result, the Learning Centre and Library has become a University Library. An important social mission for the University Library is that it “shall contribute to the dissemination of results from Research and Development” (University and Higher Education Act §1-3). This also includes R&D in the creative and performing arts. OsloMet shall further “stimulate students and staff to participate in public debates” and “develop activities at an institutional level in order to strengthen engagement, unity and common identity among students and staff” (Strategy 2024).How can the University Library help achieve these goals? …
Selecting And Implementing Leading Edge Technology Services: Library As Partner In The Innovation Ecosystem, Patrick Tod Colegrove
Selecting And Implementing Leading Edge Technology Services: Library As Partner In The Innovation Ecosystem, Patrick Tod Colegrove
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The practice of libraries – and with it, librarianship – continues to evolve. New technology and services are fundamental to library support of innovation and creativity; deciding which technologies and/or services to implement can be less clear. The overlap of design thinking with best practices of emerging technology and libraries offers a practical approach: real-world examples of success and failure reveal the outlines of an emerging framework for improved selection and implementation of leading-edge technology in the library environment. Novel services and technologies offered by a library that is part makerspace, part accelerator, and full partner in the innovation ecosystem …
Studio 55: Library Makerspace With A Difference, Gillian Barthorpe, Hans Tommy
Studio 55: Library Makerspace With A Difference, Gillian Barthorpe, Hans Tommy
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
AUT Library launched Studio 55, the Library Makerspace in 2017, the first in a New Zealand university library. While the concept of a library makerspace is not unique our approach has been a little different. We have adopted a more ‘low-tech’ approach in that we don’t have a 3D printer and other more ‘hi-tech’ equipment that is fairly standard in most makerspaces. It is a highly visible space that is open to all to ‘think, make, do’ and share skills, ideas and work together across disciplines. It is designed to engage the community in new ways of working and learning …
Considerations In The Design Of ‘New’ Academic Library Spaces In Kenya, Azenath N. Ateka
Considerations In The Design Of ‘New’ Academic Library Spaces In Kenya, Azenath N. Ateka
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The Kenyan university education system has experienced tremendous growth and expansion in the recent past. One major requirement for accreditation by the Commission for University Education is that a university must have a library befitting its student population and the diversity of its degree programs. To qualify for accreditation, demonstrate quality and attract students, many universities have had to put up new library buildings or expand/restructure existing ones. While it may be obvious that this is a chance to design the buildings with the 21st century learner in mind, many libraries continue to borrow and extend the traditional library model, …
Evaluating Evaluative Bibliometrics: A Case Study Of Two Research Groups, Jimi Thaule, Marte Strand
Evaluating Evaluative Bibliometrics: A Case Study Of Two Research Groups, Jimi Thaule, Marte Strand
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Bibliometrics is a method increasingly used to perform evaluations of scientific output and impact, in particular in order to distribute means, such as research grants. But also internally within universities and other research institutions. Various performance and impact meaures are used to establish quality of research. This can be highly problematic, not only in terms of ethics, but also with regards to method. Especially considering the proliferation of tools to perform bibliometric analysis, which means that analyses are increasingly performed without actual understanding of bibliometrics as a scientific method. In our research we have compared two research groups in the …

Building Library-Based Support Structures For Open Science, Henrik Karlstrøm, Ingrid Heggland
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Research institutions meet increasing demands for transparency, accountability, added value and reuse of all aspects of scientific production, from documenting the research process to sharing underlying data to open access to publications. Going beyond admirable slogans about openness there is a clear need for support infrastructures relating to the actual practice of Open Science – describing metadata, archiving datasets and publications and disseminating increasingly interdisciplinary research results. Research libraries, having always been stewards of research institutions’ collective knowledge and offering a variety of research support services, are in a unique position to offer future support for Open Science based on …

Another Player In Citation Database: Are We Subscribing?, Yuyun W. Ishak
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Digital Science’s Dimensions has been officially launched in January 2018. At a first glance, this is an exciting development, bringing new competition to the existing field, which is dominated by Clarivate’s Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus. Since Dimensions is a freemium, features such as full text and citation analytics require a subscription. Prior to subscription, library typically conducts trials and thorough evaluation, measuring the value that Dimensions brings to the institution, comparing it to existing products, calculating the cost of switching, examining its features and contents, and even considering the future of the product and the company.

Quadcopters Or Linguistic Corpora – Establishing Rdm Services For Small-Scale Data Producers At Big Universities, Göran Hamrin, Viola Voß
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
During the IATUL Conference 2017, the authors had many productive exchanges about similari-ties and differences in Swedish and German higher-education libraries. Since research data management (RDM) is an emerging topic on both sides of the Baltic Sea, we find it valuable to compare strategies, services, and workflows to learn from each other’s practices. Aim: In this talk, we aim to compare the practices and needs of small-scale data producers in engineering and the humanities. In particular, we try to answer the following research questions: What kind of data do the small-scale data producers produce? What do these producers need in …
Research Support – “Just In Time”?, Inga Lena Grønlund
Research Support – “Just In Time”?, Inga Lena Grønlund
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Challenges occur as research typically require “just in time” library support. The evolution of a research project may lead to sudden changes in coordination between different phases or steps in the project. Consequentially, the need for flexible research support conflicts the possibilities for long-term resource planning and coordination in the library. Moreover, these consequences will enlarge in a situation with resource scarcity. The aim of my presentation is to address some challenges posed by the time-logic inherent in research projects, based on experiences from the literature search team at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University (formerly HIOA, Oslo and Akershus University …

Supporting Research In A Digital World – Positioning The Library On Campus, Ewald Brahms
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The digital world offers new opportunities for university libraries to support research and to position itself on campus. However, open access, open science, and further aspects of ‘openness’ necessitate strategic changes in order to ensure high-quality library services tailored to the customers’ needs. Establishing new partnerships, and developing shared initiatives on as well as off campus enable the library to manage new projects, improve its existing services, and also offer new services. Building on a convincing record of past performances Hildesheim University Library is able to undertake new tasks, and thus to position itself on campus as an innovative and …
What Do Demand-Driven E-Lending, E-Acquisition And E-Cataloguing Activities Really Cost: A Case Study In Tallinn University Of Technology Library, Kate-Riin Kont
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
According to C. A. Mandel: „We are all spending money, some of us know how much, fewer of us know what for“ (Mandel 1988, p. 220). For over a several decades, many academic libraries have been purchasing books requested by their patrons or customers. The ease and effectiveness of demand-driven acquisitions definitely helps to optimize acquisitions budget as well. Nowadays university libraries increasingly turn to e-books as an alternative to purchasing multiple copies. Academic libraries have for years been forced to purchase large packages of e-books that are of questionable financial value because so much of the content is not …
Inspiring Innovation With Patent Information Literacy In The Engineering Technology Curriculum, David Zwicky, Margaret Phillips
Inspiring Innovation With Patent Information Literacy In The Engineering Technology Curriculum, David Zwicky, Margaret Phillips
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Patents have wide appeal to students, faculty, and employers and can be a potent tool for integrating information literacy (IL) into engineering and technology curricula. There is evidence to show that students use patents to assess the patentability of their design ideas, explore the state of the art in a given area of technology, and to inspire creativity in their work. Faculty use patents and other complementary forms of gray literature to go beyond the traditional IL world of scholarly literature and engage students with information problems that reflect real-world design challenges. Working with patents allows students to develop strategic, …

A Digital Information Literacy Course For University Teachers: Challenges And Possibilities, Katri Rintamäki, Anne Lehto
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
In Finland, digitalization is taken as the basis for the development of education: for creating new kinds of learning resources, learning environments, and pedagogy. From primary schools to universities, digital learning is essential. In digital learning, libraries play an important role. University libraries spend most of their acquisition budget on digital information resources and actively promote high-quality open access resources. In digital learning, the libraries and librarians' expertise in digital information resources, in information and digital literacies, and in open research and open science, are vital. Information literacy education for students, even information literacy courses included in the curricula, is …
Engineering Graduates At Work: Reality Check For Information Literacy, Caroline Leiss, Pia Ludwig
Engineering Graduates At Work: Reality Check For Information Literacy, Caroline Leiss, Pia Ludwig
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Information Literacy (IL) in the Workplace is a relatively new and increasingly important area of research in library science. Many libraries offer IL programmes in order to help students find, ac-cess and use literature for their studies and final papers. But to what extent does instruction in IL help students in their future employment? In international library science, a number of publications already investigate concepts of em-ployability and their relation to information literacy. In Germany, the discussion is just beginning. There is little evidence that German libraries include information literacy for the workplace in their strategic programme development. The University …

On The Role Of Tasks In Virtual Game-Based Learning: The Example Of “Lost In Antarctica“, Simone Kibler, Linda Eckardt
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
There is evidence that tasks play an important role in the context of the development of virtual learning scenarios. This paper will focus on this fact and identify the relationship between tasks and their purpose in the context of “Lost in Antarctica”. This game-based blended-learning scenario contains a huge variety of tasks ensuring the acquisition of different skills within the broad range of information literacy (IL)-topics. In conclusion, general recommendations for the use of tasks in the conceptional process of e-learning environments should be given. "Lost in Antarctica” is a game-based blended-learning platform for about 150 students of Industrial Engineering …
Using Technology To Teach Students Information Literacy Skills: An Online Module For First-Year Students At The University Of Johannesburg (Uj), Elize Du Toit
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Being information literate is a basic requirement for 21st-century learning and assessment. As the shift in 21st-century education moves towards e-learning and the use of technology in education, libraries have to recognise that their role to provide ‘traditional’ support to teaching, learning and research needs to change to support web-based learning. This shift in education necessitates libraries to look at new ways to enhance students’ academic experience by incorporating web-based technology to train students in information literacy skills. The UJ library developed an online information literacy module to support students’ information literacy skills. A pilot study was conducted to analyse …

Scaling And Sustaining International Partnerships – A Case Study, Xin Li, Wei Pan
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
How to keep an international collaboration beyond a one-time project? This is a challenge for many libraries. With support from the Henry Luce Foundation, Cornell University Library implemented a preservation training program for 16 librarian interns from 12 academic libraries in Mainland China and Taiwan during 2012-2016. The project aimed to enable the creation of a low-cost preservation infrastructure where little or none existed, and subsequently prolong the accessibility of these collections to researchers around the world. The most unique aspect is the program’s scalability and sustainability. The train-the-trainers model started with a six-week program on Cornell’s campus. Afterwards, Cornell …

Academic Libraries Support Cross-Disciplinary Innovation And Entrepreneurship, Heather A. Howard, Dave Zwicky, Margaret Phillips
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
Supporting innovation is essential in today’s academic ecosystem, and libraries are well-positioned to connect prospective entrepreneurs with the myriad resources and services available. Libraries are able to leverage pre-existing collaborations and partnerships with groups both inside and outside the university (from local community groups to international level organizations); libraries’ status as information brokers across disciplinary boundaries also enables them to make new connections with a wide array of potential stakeholders. Librarians from different subject specialties will share experiences and discuss ways in which libraries can support global entrepreneurship efforts by university faculty, staff, and students, as well as the general …
Someone Has To Pay: The Global Sustainability Coalition For Open Science Services (Scoss), Martin Borchert, Vanessa Proudman
Someone Has To Pay: The Global Sustainability Coalition For Open Science Services (Scoss), Martin Borchert, Vanessa Proudman
Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences
The Open Access (OA) and Open Science (OS) movement is gaining momentum with an increasing number of scholarly outputs openly and freely available to researchers and the community. OA and OS cannot however, be free for everyone. Someone has to pay for the infrastructure and there has to be a supporting economy. While many commercial publishers are charging for OA, there are many OA and OS infrastructure providers baring the cost of providing infrastructure. Without funding, essential services that many are dependent upon to implement government and funder OA policies worldwide, are at risk of service degradation, reduced availability and …

Multi-Grid Acceleration Scheme For Neutron Transport Calculations Using Optimally Diffusive Cmfd Method, Lakshay Jain, Ramamoorthy Karthikeyan, Umasankari Kannan
Symposium on Advanced Sensors and Modeling Techniques for Nuclear Reactor Safety
Method of characteristics (MOC) is one of the most efficient deterministic techniques for high fidelity neutronic analysis of complex and heterogeneous reactor problems. However, the conventional MOC inner-outer iteration scheme suffers from poor convergence speeds for problems with large scattering to transport cross-section ratio and/or large dominance ratio. This creates a serious hindrance for its effective application to realistic reactor problems. A High Order – Low Order (HO-LO) multi-grid scheme using optimally diffusive coarse mesh finite difference (odCMFD) method has been introduced for improving the performance of code DIAMOND, an assembly level neutronic analysis code based on MOC and unstructured …
