Assessment And Location Based Services In The Georgia Tech Library, Liz Holdsworth
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Location-based services (LBS) is a projected integration of library services and space with mobile devices. Assessment of user needs was essential in designing the web application due to the expectations of the Georgia Tech community. The collected aggregate data from the project has great potential to provide information about the use of the library and foster campus research collaborations.
How Can Researchers' Browsing Behaviors Inform Library Space-Planning?, Sarah Pickle
How Can Researchers' Browsing Behaviors Inform Library Space-Planning?, Sarah Pickle
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
This study is an in-depth, qualitative analysis of the ways academics at the Claremont Colleges browse library materials, both print and electronic, for their research. Many academic libraries today are struggling with the question of how best to accommodate the quantity of print materials they routinely acquire as those volumes increasingly strain the capacity of their physical spaces. It is hoped this project will help these institutions identify which subject-based collections and which format types researchers need to have immediately accessible for physical perusal and which they can browse productively online.
Time Crunch: How To Fit Assessment Into An Already Packed Lesson, Liz Johns, Sara Oestreich
Time Crunch: How To Fit Assessment Into An Already Packed Lesson, Liz Johns, Sara Oestreich
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Learning assessment can be daunting for a librarian who wants to try it out for the first time, or too time consuming for librarians who only get a few minutes with students. But this practical program introduces librarians to common, easy, and quick formative assessments that can immediately be implemented into even the shortest of sessions. This session will help librarians identify key points in example lessons where formative assessment can be inserted, and brainstorm ways to implement the assessments in an effective way.

If You Can't Expand, How Can You Grow? Space Assessment Studies In The Academic Library, Regina Mays, Rachel Fleming-May, Kristina Clement, Brianne Dosch, Alexa Carter, Lauren Johnson, Sian Carr, Jordan Kaufman
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
As space in libraries is usually finite and in high demand, how can librarians ensure the best allocation of space to meet users' ever growing and changing needs? A team from the University of Tennessee's School of Information Sciences and Libraries designed and implemented two academic library space assessment studies to find meaningful answers to these questions as well as learn the principles, methods, and tools of space design and space assessment, many of which they will share with session attendees!

Post-It Up: Qualitative Data Analysis Of A Test Fest, Sarah Joy Arnold, Chad Haefele
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
This session will outline how we planned and executed five simultaneous usability tests and what we learned from using this method. We'll also discuss how we approached analyzing the large amount of qualitative data that was gathered during testing via affinity diagrams and lots of post-it notes. The focus of this session is on our methodologies, though we'll briefly look at the results of each test.

Simplifying The Process: Using Technology To Integrate Event And Program Assessment From Start To Finish, Heather White, Amanda Mclellan
Simplifying The Process: Using Technology To Integrate Event And Program Assessment From Start To Finish, Heather White, Amanda Mclellan
Southeastern Library Assessment Conference
Event assessment shouldn't be painful or mysterious, so how can we leverage technology to demystify and simplify program and event assessment? This session targets libraries interested in reflecting on their own event and program assessment and how an open-source application may help streamline their processes. This session will illustrate how we identified problems and used technology and thoughtful planning to streamline and demystify the event planning and assessment, resulting in an open-source application that handles event/program requests, approvals, and pre-generated assessment forms.

Copyright And Academic Libraries, Laura Burtle
University Library Faculty Presentations
Copyright interacts with multiple areas in academic libraries. Reserves and course management systems, interlibrary loan and document delivery, special collections, digitization and digital libraries, acquisitions, and library publishing intertwine with copyright. This presentation will discuss how copyright interacts with these areas, what we can learn from statutory and case law, and best practices. A Q&A will follow the presentation to encourage further discussion of copyright and libraries.
Vertical Fiscal Imbalance And Local Fiscal Discipline: Empirical Evidence From China, Junxue Jia, Yongzheng Liu, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Kewei Zhang
Vertical Fiscal Imbalance And Local Fiscal Discipline: Empirical Evidence From China, Junxue Jia, Yongzheng Liu, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Kewei Zhang
ICEPP Working Papers
Using a nationwide city-level panel dataset for China for the years 1999-2009, this paper examines the effects of vertical fiscal imbalances (VFI) on local fiscal discipline, and explicitly explores the institutional conditions under which these effects may take place. We find that higher VFI levels induce fiscal indiscipline by reducing tax effort of local governments. We exploit the unique Chinese fiscal institution of assigning taxing power for local taxes and shared taxes to two separate authorities (i.e., the local tax bureau and the central tax bureau, respectively) in several ways. We show that local governments respond to the presence of …
Social Support Networks And The Mental Health Of Runaway And Homeless Youth, Eric Wright, Brandon K. Attell, Erin Ruel
Social Support Networks And The Mental Health Of Runaway And Homeless Youth, Eric Wright, Brandon K. Attell, Erin Ruel
GHPC Articles
In response to growing concerns about the rising number of runaway and homeless youth (RHY) in the U.S., researchers have sought to improve the scientific understanding of health and mental health needs, as well as the social resources available to these youths. In this paper, we examine the relationship between personal support network resources and the mental health status of a sample of RHY (N = 693) surveyed in metro-Atlanta, Georgia. The results suggest that having more supportive network ties reduces the risk of youth experiencing significant symptoms of a severe mental illness. We also find that older youth and …
