Positioning Librarians As Indispensible To The New Virtual Learning Environments (Vles), David Ball May 2006

Positioning Librarians As Indispensible To The New Virtual Learning Environments (Vles), David Ball

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper discusses the explosion in the use of electronic resources by students and the development of e-books. The existing high usage will intensify as virtual learning environments (VLEs) become the primary means of interaction between students and universities. A brief outline of university library procurement in the UK is given, followed by an analysis of a recent ground-breaking tender for e-books for higher education libraries in the UK. The continuing development of a bespoke subject collection of e-books for nursing students is explored in some detail, as is the demand for non-traditional resources for the VLE. The paper closes …

The Age Bomb And The Age Of Globalisation, Hans Selberg May 2005

The Age Bomb And The Age Of Globalisation, Hans Selberg

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

As the library world we have known is changing rapidly around us, we are all getting older. At the NTNU Library 69 people out of a staff of about 145 are aged 55 or more. During this year alone 22 staff members will become eligible for retirement, if they should so choose. The coming ten years will show a massive changing of the guard in our library. This means a severe loss of competent staff members. On the other hand: Even though the Library Board has ordered staff reductions during the past few years, we shall now be able to …

Developing A Global Information Learning Policy At Catholic University Of Louvain, Belgium, Fabienne Moreau, Frederic Brodkom

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Louvain-la-Neuve is located in Belgium, 25 km South-East from Brussels. The university comprises a large international community: 21000 students and a staff of 3000 academics and scientists and more than 2000 collaborators. There are more than 200 research units.

The Catholic University of Louvain was founded in 1425 in Louvain (Leuven) in the Flemish part of Belgium. But in 1968, due to political and linguistic reasons, the university was divided into 2 separated universities: a Flemish one which remained in Leuven and a French one, which moved to the French speaking part of Belgium. A new town was then created …

The Future Of The Academic Library And The Academic Librarian. A Delphi Study Reloaded, Blazej Feret, Marzena Marcinek

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

At the 20th IATUL Conference held in 1999 in Chania, Greece, the authors presented a paper The Future of the Academic Library and the Academic Librarian. A DELPHI Study 3. The aim of that study was to identify trends and present a probable scenario for the year 2005. After six years that have passed since the Conference in Chania, we live in a different world. Different not only because of terrorism and the latest natural disasters, but also because of changes in technology (e.g. the boom of mobile communication, transition from CD/DVD to online services, ease of digitization, etc.), internationalization …

Innovative Approaches By Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal Library, Richard Dumont, Marie-Helene Dupuis, Luc Focault, Marc Hiller, Madeline Proulx

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Librarians are better able to respond to the needs of their end users while supporting the goals of their institution. This is illustrated through five recent initiatives undertaken by the Library of Ecole Polytechnique in direct support of institutional research activities: 􀂃 Master’s and Ph. D. students develop information skills through the preparation of a portfolio on their research topic. This assignment forms part of an information literacy laboratory within a research methodology course. The course is mandatory for Ph. D. students and assignment grading is done by librarians; 􀂃 Canada Research Chairs benefit from dedicated information services in return …

A Researcher's Research Agenda For Scholarly Communication In Canada, William F. Birdsall, Kathleen Shearer May 2005

A Researcher's Research Agenda For Scholarly Communication In Canada, William F. Birdsall, Kathleen Shearer

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Despite millions of dollars being spent on research each year in Canada, little attention is paid to the dissemination of the results of research. There is a disconnect between Canadian public policies in this area; although a high priority is assigned to the generation of research, there is a lack of policies addressing its dissemination. Meanwhile, the environment in which research knowledge is being disseminated is undergoing a profound transformation because of several important drivers. In particular, these drivers include new technology, changing research patterns, new users, economics, and commercialization. The major objective of this study was to examine the …
