The University Of Iowa New Media Coalition: A Network Of Campus Partners, Paul Soderdahl

Paul A Soderdahl

The New Media Coalition at the University of Iowa consists of six campus units working together in support of instructional software and digital media development. Still in its experimental first year, the coalition is made up of mid-level partners in the University's organizational structure who collaborate on campuswide new media events, share ideas and new developments, and turn to each other as a "favor clearinghouse." Existing outside the bureaucracy, this informal coalition is predicated on each partner's willingness to "play well together in the sandbox."

Using A Combination Proxy Server/Purl Server For Off-Campus Access To Restricted Databases, Paul Soderdahl

Paul A Soderdahl

While many libraries enable off-campus users to access subscription databases through a proxy server, the University of Iowa Libraries has complemented its proxy server with a PURL, or persistent URL, server, for self-marketing and point-of-need instructions. This poster session will highlight technical aspects and the current workflow.

Do Peer-Reviewed Journal Papers Result From Meeting Abstracts Of The Biennial Conference On The Biology Of Marine Mammals?, James Bird, Mary Bird

James E Bird

Peer-reviewed publication is at the core of scientific communication. However, with the exception of biomedicine, there has been little analysis of the rate of peer-reviewed publication resulting from conference abstracts. This study examined a random sample of abstracts from the 1989 and 1991 Biennial Conferences on the Biology of Marine Mammals to determine how many were published as peer-reviewed papers. Publication rates were 51.4% (±4.7%) and 51.2% (±4.6%), respectively. This low abstract-to-publication rate, coupled with editorial policies prohibiting citation of conference abstracts in some journals, limits access to recent research, and thus affects the vibrance of the discipline.

Jim And Alison Do User Education: English 101 And Beyond At Washington State University Libraries, James Elmborg, Alison Manning

James K. Elmborg

The authors use English 101, their primary program, as a springboard for a discussion of teaching as a library function. Both view the one-hour presentation that is commonly done in libraries as grossly inadequate; they offer solutions that are working at Washington State University Libraries. These include cultivating better relations with departments in order to increase the time spent for library instruction, understanding different pedagogy styles and departmental cultures, creating Web modules to reach more students, and focusing attention specifically on one clientele, i.e., freshmen.

Library Gateway: Project Design, Teams And Cycle Time, Karen S. Calhoun, Zsuzsa Koltay, Edward Weissman

Karen S Calhoun

Librarians at Cornell University Library (CUL) launched the first system-wide integrated gateway to networked resources, services, and library information in January 1998. Using a case study approach, this article examines the design and implementation process that helped the project succeed, rather than focusing on the technology or the vision behind the gateway. The authors identify and discuss critical success factors and the organizational learning experience that moved CUL a step closer to mastering the process of innovation.
