Sparking Joy In The Unf Rare Books Collection, Susan Swiatosz May 2019

Sparking Joy In The Unf Rare Books Collection, Susan Swiatosz

Library Faculty Presentations & Publications

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 …

Recasting Finals Week Programs: Fostering Student Success With Collaboration And Goodwill, Maria Atilano

Library Faculty Presentations & Publications

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.

Providing Tools To Sustain Community Organizations, Jennifer L. Murray

Library Faculty Presentations & Publications

Through conversations in the community, partnerships can form and bring together diverse people to enhance the discovery of materials in our own backyards. When we learned of a community-based initiative by our local history consortium, we saw it as an opportunity to join in and provide leadership in preserving, sustaining, and bringing greater awareness to the history collections in our region. During this session you will learn how we used tools we have, such as Digital Commons, LibGuides and Tableau, to benefit the many valuable organizations and resources in our community that often go undiscovered.

Library Faculty Presentations & Publications

Every two years, the ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee writes an Environmental Scan, a summary of the key themes in libraries and higher education. Many topics in this arena are in a state of perpetual change. This year’s scan focuses largely on developments from the last two years (2017 and 2018) in long standing themes primarily centered in the U.S. In some cases these build on last year’s Top Trends and there are a few instances of notable events that may indicate larger changes to come. The 2019 Environmental Scan will provide an overview for all librarians working in …
