Open Your Research Without Opening Your Wallet, Janelle L. Wertzberger

Janelle Wertzberger

Open scholarship promotes sharing and collaboration, increases readership, and amplifies impact. It is gaining traction as institutions, professional associations, and funding agencies encourage or require broad sharing of research results. Yet many authors believe that the only way to open their work is to pay publishers thousands of dollars for the privilege. Luckily for us, that just isn’t the case. Come hear about a range of ways to open your research without paying for the privilege! Lunch provided. (Limited seating, RSVP to jwertzbe@gettysburg.edu)

Visualization On The Big Screen: Hands-On Immersive Environments Designed For Student And Faculty Collaboration, Bryan Sinclair, Jill Sexton, Joseph Hurley

Joe A. Hurley

Large-scale panoramic displays designed for collaboration can change users’ perspective and reframe and amplify digital content in a shared pixel space. Many universities have implemented large-scale displays, but they are often in areas that restrict access to the equipment and require staff mediation for use. Additionally, dedicated staff may be required to program content for the walls, limiting the variety of content displayed. This presentation covers efforts at the libraries at Georgia State University and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill to implement immersive display technologies that allow unmediated patron access and reduce the amount of staff …

Gathering The Needles Evaluating The Impact Of Gold Open Access Content With Traditional Subscription Journals, Jill Emery, Alison Bobal

Jill Emery

Investigating the use of gold open access content within subscription content has been a near impossible task until the adoption of the COUNTER 4 statistics in 2014. By reviewing the COUNTER JR1 GOA 2014 reports, two librarians evaluate the gold open access usage at their respective institutions from the following publishers: Elsevier, NPG, Sage, Springer, and Wiley. This initial investigation will be a benchmark for future studies to see if there is any impact on subscribed content or if usage is limited to non-subscribed content from these providers. Attendees will become familiar with the JR1 GOA reports from COUNTER as …

What Goes Around Comes Around: Calibrating The Academic Research Life Cycle To The Oa Life Cycle, Jill Emery, Graham Stone

Jill Emery

This presentation will outline the key components of the academic research life cycle and how libraries can align their services to best serve academic authors. By walking through each component of the academic research life cycle, we will outline the services libraries currently have available or can develop to best coordinate with the activities undertaken by the research community. This talk will also explore the development work occurring above the campus level to indicate the most useful standards and services available beyond the campus environment. In addition, the presenters will also explore the need to develop further life cycles for …

Shared Print In The Orbis Cascade Alliance, Jill Emery, Xan Arch, Jim Bunnelle

Jill Emery

Shared Print programs are one of the most important collaborative activities being pursued by many regional library groups. The Orbis Cascade Alliance (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho) and Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (Colorado and Wyoming) each have multi-state regional programs which demonstrate unique characteristics and features. In the Orbis Cascade Alliance, librarians are having to re-visit historic shared purchases. They will explore one such project and examine steps taken to reconcile current institutional needs with past collection-building priorities.

Creating A Culture Of Reading: Readers' Advisory In The Academic Library, Sarah L. Johnson, Janice Derr, Pamela Ferrell

Sarah L. Johnson

Readers' advisory isn’t just for public and school libraries. Popular reading collections in academic libraries can support your patrons’ recreational reading needs and their curricular needs, as well. Topics to be discussed include the benefits and challenges of establishing these collections, undergraduate students’ expectations for offerings in popular fiction and nonfiction in academic libraries, getting your staff involved in working with and promoting these materials, developing local exhibits and book lists, formalizing your commitment to popular reading through your collection development policy, and more.

Branching Out: Consolidating An Interlibrary Loan Department Across Multiple Campuses With Illiad, Ashley T. Hoffman, Rosemary Humphrey, Caralia Gallagher

Ashley T. Hoffman

Interlibrary Loan departments are no stranger to collaboration between campuses. Therefore, when the consolidation of the two institutions of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University was announced, their respective interlibrary loan departments rose to the challenge with - if not enthusiasm - optimism and the willingness to try new ideas and strategies to merge the two units. This presentation will cover the alternatives considered, strategies chosen, and the implementation process undertaken to create a unified interlibrary loan department across two campuses and four libraries using Atlas' ILLiad software. We will cover not only policy decisions but workflow procedures …

Using Built-In Features, Stephanie Gaskins, Elizabeth Richardson

Elizabeth A Richardson

At Kent State, we work on Digital Commons all times of day so communication is important. We utilize many of bepress’s built-in features to facilitate this. Based on our conversations with other Digital Commons institutional repository managers, many of Digital Commons’ built-in features are not used or not used to their fullest potential. We are moving toward taking full advantage of built-in features in our workflow and hope to push beyond what is available and to suggest enhancements from bepress. We aim to use built-in features for training, internal communication within our team, external communication with authors and rights holders, …

Translating Failure Into Success, Deana Brown, Elizabeth Ramsey

Deana Brown

All of us have had to work through life challenges and perhaps even suffered professional setbacks. Whether it was a poorly attended program, a new instructional method that was ineffective, or getting started on professional development requirements, sharing our experiences of failure with each other in a safe and accepting space can be cathartic and informative. See what skeletons we have hiding in our closets, and learn how showing yours the light of day might be the most inspiring connection you make for yourself, your colleagues, and your library!

In-House Print Book Use At Seton Hall University Libraries, Lisa M. Rose-Wiles, John Irwin, Kathryn Wissell

Lisa M Rose-Wiles

In 2013 we analyzed print book circulation at Seton Hall University Libraries. Circulation was relatively low, but our data took no account of in-house circulation (books that were removed from the shelf but not checked out). In our continuing efforts to assess use of library resources and collection development practices, we examined in-house use of print books and compared it with statistics for books checked out for May 2013-14..
