Addressing Staff Concerns In Changing Times: Supporting The Institution's Greatest Asset, Erika Linke Jun 2004

Addressing Staff Concerns In Changing Times: Supporting The Institution's Greatest Asset, Erika Linke

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The strategic plan at Carnegie Mellon University highlights the important contributions that staff members make to the organization. Concomitantly the university encourages the growth of a diverse campus community and stresses the important of developing a culture of respect. The university libraries have embraced these two threads – recognizing the important contributions made by staff and the desirability of a diverse work force. This paper discusses the importance of these two threads and highlights the various steps taken to acknowledge staff contributions and to create a culture of respect.


Reaching All Students: Teaching Information Seeking Skills Online (Poster), Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi Jun 2004

Reaching All Students: Teaching Information Seeking Skills Online (Poster), Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

A management issue of increasing importance is the need to provide distance learners the same library services as students who take courses on-site. Remote access to library-provided electronic resources has gone a long way to equalizing access for these students and for others who, because of work or family commitments, find coming to the library difficult. However, we have found that just making the resources available is insufficient; we must also teach the students how to use them effectively. The Drexel Libraries have assumed responsibility for information literacy instruction and have an extensive on-campus instruction program. The logical way too …

Drexel University, The University Of Maryland, And Their Libraries’ Experiences Collaborating With Various Research Programs, Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi Jun 2004

Drexel University, The University Of Maryland, And Their Libraries’ Experiences Collaborating With Various Research Programs, Jay Bhatt, John Meyer, Rafael Sidi

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Last year, researchers and librarians at both Drexel University and the University of Maryland initiated similar collaborative projects in their respective institutions to contribute to the development of life-long learning skills among the select participants. One joint finding was the importance of linking advances in knowledge, not just as hypothetical learning that benefits an elite few, but rather for the advancement of our society as a whole. Drexel University has two NSF-supported programs, Research Experience for Teachers (RET) and the Research Experience for Undergraduates Site (REU) DREAM (Drexel Research Experience in Advanced Materials). RET’s primary goal is to provide experiential …

Adapting To Changing User Expectations, Jean Poland Jun 2004

Adapting To Changing User Expectations, Jean Poland

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Results of user surveys indicate that science and technology library user needs differ from those of humanists and social scientists and are changing rapidly. Science and technology libraries are taking the lead in adapting the public services model accordingly. Science and technology library users are most interested in easy-to-use access tools and library Web sites that enable them to find information on their own as well as easy access to materials from home and office. Their expectations are based on the speed of access provided by the Web and through search engines like Google. As fewer users come to the …

Internet In The Library - The Sky Isn't Blue, Błażej Feret, Barbara Szczepańska Jun 2004

Internet In The Library - The Sky Isn't Blue, Błażej Feret, Barbara Szczepańska

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In the past few years, libraries, including academic libraries, became not only a place in which users could find information supporting teaching and research, but also hubs for patron access to the Internet and its vast resources. However, the Internet is not a “good boy”, and the information easily found with search engines or peer-to-peer programs may be used for bad goals. Should academic libraries promote unrestricted access to the Internet for the sake of people’s right to open access to information, or should they rather restrict and filter the incoming information to that actually related to the subjects of …

Convergence Between Interlibrary Loan And Acquisitions: A Science And Engineering Library Experience, Louis Houle Jun 2004

Convergence Between Interlibrary Loan And Acquisitions: A Science And Engineering Library Experience, Louis Houle

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Libraries are looking at new types of services to improve the dissemination of information to their users. One such new service, the integration of Interlibrary Loan with acquisitions and collection development, looks like a promising approach to meet the users’ information needs. The requests that meet selection criteria are not sent through the regular ILL borrowing channels but are instead turned into rush acquisitions. A special fund was set aside to purchase books requested by users (students, faculty and staff) through ILL processes. The ILL Librarian does both the selection of the ILL requests and the ordering of the books. …


Walking The Talk: Is Your Library A Marketing Oriented Organisation?, Barbara Ewers Jun 2004

Walking The Talk: Is Your Library A Marketing Oriented Organisation?, Barbara Ewers

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Libraries are increasingly vocal about the need to adopt strategic marketing management which is the process of creating and facilitating the exchange of products of value with others. However, the largest proportion of library and information science literature on marketing deals promotion and public relations which is only a small part of the marketing mix. There seems to have been a fragmented application of marketing principles in the management and operation of libraries because they have lacked strategies to translate the marketing management into their functional management. The concept of market orientation provides a framework for applying marketing principles into …

'Digital Is Not Different' - Copyright In Digital Environment, Barbara Szczepańska Jun 2004

'Digital Is Not Different' - Copyright In Digital Environment, Barbara Szczepańska

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Development in technology has brought to the libraries new kind of resources. Digital works such as books, periodicals and other materials are now in libraries collections. In spite of the fact that basic principles of copyright remain the same for ”traditional” and digital works. Copyright in digital environment is much more difficult to control because of the ease of creation, modification and distribution of digital copies over networks. Libraries help copyright holders to protect digital works against copyright infringements. On the other hand they represent also users of protected materials, and have a crucial role to play in ensuring the …
