Create Engaging Library Resource Lists: Helping Faculty Discover Educational Technologies For Curating And Sharing Library Resources, Allison Faix, Ariana Baker Jan 2025

Create Engaging Library Resource Lists: Helping Faculty Discover Educational Technologies For Curating And Sharing Library Resources, Allison Faix, Ariana Baker

The Southeastern Librarian

Academic libraries have long supported faculty’s use of reading lists. The need for this support has only increased with the growing popularity of distance learning as well as the shifting resource use patterns brought on by online learning during the covid-19 pandemic. However, reading list software can be pro-hibitively expensive while not always meeting faculty needs, and traditional print-based course reserves can only be accessed in person in the library, creating unnecessary barriers for students. This article ex-plores alternatives to commercial reading list software. Librarians can consider promoting these tools to help faculty meet their instructional goals and help students …

Ripe For Harvest: Data Harvesting And The Need For E-Lending Privacy Legislation, George M. Farris Jan 2025

Ripe For Harvest: Data Harvesting And The Need For E-Lending Privacy Legislation, George M. Farris

The Southeastern Librarian

Digital lending has revolutionized libraries, adding a trove of available titles and increased accessibility and convenience to patrons. However, handling of patron privacy when utilizing e-lending services is an area that has not received much attention. This paper examines reasons why libraries and patrons alike should be concerned about privacy and the harvest of data when engaging in e-lending through a non-library entity. Examples of mishandling of patron data are discussed in this paper. Recommendations for legislative and non-legislative actions that libraries can take to uphold the American Library Associa-tion core values of intellectual freedom and privacy are also discussed. …

Usability, Visibility, And Style: Libguides Usability Testing To Support Students’ Needs, Tera A. Ray

The Southeastern Librarian

The study aimed to discover the level of knowledge students have regarding LibGuides, the preferred navigational layout, and how students use guides to conduct research. Ten undergraduate students par-ticipated in a mixed-methods study consisting of semi-structured interviews and usability tasks. The study revealed that the usability test was the first time any of the participants had interacted with a guide, resulting in data free from bias or previous experience. Participants did not exhibit a clear prefer-ence for navigation style, and an emphasis was placed on the importance of an aesthetically pleasing design and a functional search bar. The study's findings …

A Building Progress Report: What Ekstrom Library Has Learned, 2006-2024, Bruce L. Keisling, Robert E. Fox Jr Jan 2025

A Building Progress Report: What Ekstrom Library Has Learned, 2006-2024, Bruce L. Keisling, Robert E. Fox Jr

The Southeastern Librarian

In 1994, Stewart Brand introduced the concept that buildings “learn” or adapt to their changing uses and circumstances over time through addressing maintenance, fixing mistakes, and adding enhancements. This article builds on Brand’s work by applying the concepts to one academic research library that has experienced additions and renovations based on changing assumptions through time of what the build-ing should provide and support. These changes were possible because the building was designed with an open structure that supports change and thus has allowed it to learn and adapt in a financially and envi-ronmentally sustainable manner. The concepts discussed can be …
