Accessing Web Archives: Integrating An Archive-It Collection Into Ebsco Discovery Service, Christina A. Beis, Kayla Harris, Stephanie Shreffler
Kayla Harris
Effective collaboration between archives and technical services can increase the discoverability of special collection materials. Archivists at the University of Dayton Libraries began using Archive-It to capture websites relevant to their collecting policies in 2015. However, the collections were only made available to users from the University of Dayton page on the Archive-It website. Content was isolated in a separate platform and was not promoted to users. Working together, the team of archivists and technical services librarians incorporated the web archive collections into the Libraries’ EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) discovery layer. A local data dictionary was created based on OCLC’s …

As marketing and outreach increasingly become core values for librarians, we are always looking for fresh ideas on how to best reach our users. Come and hear from a varied panel of academic librarians about ways to market your resources, services, and events/programs. Each panelist will be discussing a specific marketing or outreach program that their library has initiated recently. We hope to showcase the great work that NJ academic libraries are doing and inspire you to try something new at your library!

Sparking Joy In The Unf Rare Books Collection, Susan Swiatosz
Sparking Joy In The Unf Rare Books Collection, Susan Swiatosz
Susan Swiatosz
University of North Florida (UNF) Special Collections does not have clear guidelines for collecting ‘rare’ books and maintaining them in our climate-controlled storage. Overcrowding is also a problem in Special Collections’ storage space. Both issues have led to a reassessment project of the noncirculating ‘rare’ books collected over the past 35 to 40 years. In the summer of 2018 UNF’s Resource Description Librarian surveyed the books under the direction of the Head of Special Collections and University Archives. In late fall 2018 we formed a Rare Books Advisory Group, an ad hoc group that is part of the Collection Development …

Faculty Pub Night At The William H. Hannon Library: Highlighting Faculty Works Through Creative Programming, Jamie Hazlitt, John M. Jackson
Jamie Hazlitt
Creative, interdisciplinary partnership and collaboration with university faculty is an essential function of every academic library, whether for course design and integration of information literacy in the curriculum, strategically building the library collections, or designing programming for the community. Over the past six years at the William H. Hannon Library at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a program created to highlight and promote faculty publications and creative works has evolved into a keystone of our annual programming lineup. The series, called Faculty Pub Night, provides LMU faculty with the opportunity to share their work with students, university staff, other faculty …

Organic Outreach For Academic Libraries: Collaborating With Student Affairs Units To Reach College Students, Kristen S. Shuyler
Kristen S. Shuyler
The college campus is a complex ecosystem of services and resources. Academic library outreach efforts offered in partnership with Student Affairs units can support the whole student as they navigate this ecosystem. This presentation offers one librarian's experience collaborating with Student Affairs units such as health, counseling, and recreation centers. A mental model for this work that draws on the metaphor of organic gardening helps frame the remarks and reflections.

Recasting Finals Week Programs: Fostering Student Success With Collaboration And Goodwill, Maria Atilano
Maria Atilano
Finals Week is an extremely stressful time for students and library staff. While a busy university library may seem like the last place for some R&R, outreach librarians can implement fun, engaging, and cost-effective events to foster academic success and mental wellbeing. Popular programs include service dogs in the library, free late-night coffee, a sleep zone, and pop-up Random Acts of Snacks. During this poster session, attendees will learn how to plan similar events and activities, assess ways to collaborate with other departments to increase reach and reduce costs, and define how to create goodwill while promoting student success.

Scholarly communication issues, such as access, research, and the promotion of scholarly communities are at the core of university libraries’ values. This session will demonstrate how to put the values of librarianship into practice at your institution by addressing the publishing needs of your faculty. At Loyola Marymount University, a medium-size, private institution, three librarians were tasked to assist faculty in the publishing process, in particular, help faculty choose credible and reliable journals in which to publish. This session will outline difficulties encountered with publishing by faculty, the case for the library’s involvement, and techniques to promote scholarly publishing. By …
Using Emotional Intelligence To Get Through The Tough Times: Why Feelings Matter More Than Ever To 21st Century Libraries, Joan Giglierano, Emily A. Hicks
Using Emotional Intelligence To Get Through The Tough Times: Why Feelings Matter More Than Ever To 21st Century Libraries, Joan Giglierano, Emily A. Hicks
Joan Plungis
During times of tight resources, cultivating the emotional intelligence (EI) of employees at all levels, in all areas of the library, can be a way to maintain service quality, reduce stress, and cope with change. Emotional intelligence includes characteristics such as self-awareness, adaptability, empathy, ability to work collaboratively, and communication skills. While the concept of EI has been a standard component of leadership development and management literature for almost two decades, relatively little research has been done on its applicability in libraries. Recent studies of library job ads have found demand for EI competencies, though they are seldom labeled as …

Technology used in teaching, learning, and research has created new challenges and opportunities for managers of college and university library media resource collections and services. Moving images, sounds, and still images have become increasingly important in teaching, learning and research, and academic librarians are working closely with other agencies on campus to support faculty and student information needs. In some institutions, librarians have become true partners in the delivery of instruction, working with faculty, technologists, and instructional developers to create “new learning communities.” Most academic libraries collect media, and these materials are as vital and diverse as any print collection …

This poster was presented at DC-HUG 2017 in Rolla, MO. Forsyth Digital Collections presents their content on more than one digital collections platform. Since the acquisition of Digital Commons and the launch of the FHSU Scholars Repository in January 2016, there has been an institutional effort to determine which platform is best suited to displaying existing content. Beginning in 2009, the FHSU Reveille Yearbooks collection had been hosted in CONTENTdm. This collection suffered from issues relating to access and user experience. In 2014 additional effort was put into improving the collection though those efforts did not achieve the desired result. …

Learning Commons Reference Collections In Arl Libraries, Cindy Pierard, Sever Bordeianu
Cindy Pierard
Many academic libraries have developed or partnered in the development of learning commons over the last two decades. Although the nature of these environments may vary, learning commons are characterized here as adaptable spaces in which services, programming, and specialized resources are brought together to support and enact specific learning and research activities.The development of learning commons spaces has resulted in significant changes in traditional library collections, including decisions to weed or relocate physical collections, to transition from print to electronic collections, and to develop collections to support new learning services, programs, and collaborations (Brown et al., 2014; Detmering and …

How Automated Workflows Helped Us Ingest 600 Faculty Publications In Three Months In Lmu’S Institutional Repository!, Shilpa Rele, Jessea Young
Jessea Young
Conducting copyright clearance and ingesting appropriate versions of faculty publications can be a labor intensive and time consuming process. At Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a medium-size, private institution, the Digital Library Program (DLP) had been conducting copyright clearance one publication at a time. This meant that it took an enormous amount of time from start to finish to review and process the list of publications on a given faculty member’s CV. In October 2016, the Digital Program Librarian learned about the automated workflow developed by librarians at University of North Texas and decided to give it a try. At this …

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 …

From Commons To Classroom: The Evolution Of Learning Spaces In Academic Libraries, Vickie Marre Karasic
Vickie M Karasic
Over the past two decades, academic library spaces have evolved to meet the changing teaching and learning needs of diverse campus communities. The Information Commons combines the physical and virtual in an informal library space, whereas the recent Active Learning Classroom creates a more formal setting for collaboration. As scholarship has become increasingly digital and interactive, commons and classroom environments in academic libraries promote experimentation with new technology and accommodate millennial learning behaviors. The library, a centrally located and academically neutral campus space, provides an ideal place for classrooms and encourages interdisciplinary scholarship unbounded by specific academic departments.
