Librarians And Engineering Faculty: Partnership Opportunities In Information Literacy And Ethics Instruction, Alice Trussell May 2004

Librarians And Engineering Faculty: Partnership Opportunities In Information Literacy And Ethics Instruction, Alice Trussell

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

As the global economy grew in the latter half of the 20th Century, the demand for the mobility of engineers greatly increased. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), an accreditation agency serving primarily the United States, began to look at engineering programs outside of the United States with the intent of establishing recognized reciprocity. Through the Washington Accord, first established in 1989, mutual recognition agreements were signed with accrediting agencies in several countries. In the year 2000, heavily modified ABET standards affecting North America took effect emphasizing qualitative standards as well as quantitative …

Using A Three-Year-Rolling-Development Plan (3 Y Rdp) To Lead And Manage Library Transformation, Egbert Gerryts

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Key success factors for managing change and transformation in the University Library are discussed. In the three year rolling development plan (3YRDP) the importance of sharing and contracting the underlying library philosophy with university management is emphasized. The rolling development plan covers the strategic intention of the library as well as its social and task dimensions. Under the strategic intention, the strategic base of the library and the importance of preparing strategic points of support are pointed out. The social dimension refers to the importance of sound leadership and a healthy organizational culture and climate. Particular premises as conditions for …

Library Collaboration: What Makes It Work? (Keynote Paper), Murray Shepherd May 2004

Library Collaboration: What Makes It Work? (Keynote Paper), Murray Shepherd

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In previous papers delivered at IATUL Conferences, I described the TriUniversity Group (TUG) library collaboration. I spoke of the advantages and reported that three academic libraries, large (University of Waterloo) medium (University of Guelph) and small (Wilfrid Laurier University) were working together creatively to address a number of issues: • Remote storage of little used library materials, • Development of a web-based, unified and integrated online “catalogue”, • Joint purchases of online resources, and • Rationalization of information resources This pioneering collaborative undertaking, initiated in 1995, is now widely emulated, with some success. The TUG librarians found that collaboration is …


Projecting Success: Effective Project Management In Academic Libraries, Stephanie Atkins May 2004

Projecting Success: Effective Project Management In Academic Libraries, Stephanie Atkins

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Managing a major project in an academic library can be daunting in the best financial circumstances. However, in the current climate of diminished funding and increased competition, libraries will face the challenge of funding and staffing their initiatives with limited resources. Project management can assist libraries in achieving their projects on schedule and within budget. Best practices in project management are examined in the context of two major projects undertaken at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library. The first project was the barcoding of three million in three months in preparation for the transition to a new automated library …


Infoservices: A Multi-Channel, Multi-Tier Model For Information Service Delivery, Rowan Salt May 2004

Infoservices: A Multi-Channel, Multi-Tier Model For Information Service Delivery, Rowan Salt

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Griffith University’s Division of Information Services provides integrated library, information technology and flexible learning services to Griffith’s community of approximately 30,000 staff and students. A Division-wide restructure in 2001 led to the creation of InfoServices, a new organisational unit created from members of library and information technology front-line staff. This unit was presented with the challenge of answering the majority of customer inquiries related to the Division’s products and services. InfoServices seeks to resolve 80% of all customer inquiries at first contact, regardless of product. In order to meet this demand, InfoServices implemented a multi-channel multi-tier service delivery model. InfoServices’ …


Primary Resource Material Online: Research And Teaching Perspective, Paul O'Pecko, Kelly Drake May 2004

Primary Resource Material Online: Research And Teaching Perspective, Paul O'Pecko, Kelly Drake

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Digital imaging projects of the G.W. Blunt White Library at Mystic Seaport Museum, funded by the Library of Congress and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, are explained and demonstrated with comments on how the Library has incorporated the projects’ outcomes into its workflow. Upon reapplying for additional funds, the Library was asked by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to instead reach out to scholars in the field and determine what their actually needs were in developing new scholarship. The Library hosted a conference and developed a survey to measure the scholars’ needs. Methodology and preliminary results are discussed.


Beyond The Happy Sheets! Evaluating Learning In Information Skills Teaching, Richard German, Jane Barton, Nick Joint May 2004

Beyond The Happy Sheets! Evaluating Learning In Information Skills Teaching, Richard German, Jane Barton, Nick Joint

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper reviews three years of data measuring students' immediate reactions to a computer-assisted learning package in information skills and reports on work in progress to establish a more comprehensive programme of evaluation which will assess the medium term impact on learning of both the courseware itself and the way the courseware is delivered to students. The GAELS courseware was developed in the late 1990s as part of a collaborative project between the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde, with funding from the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council. The courseware was designed to teach higher level information skills and was initially …
