Health Sciences Assessment At Unc Charlotte: A Collection Devleopment Fellowship, Stephen Krueger Jul 2017

Health Sciences Assessment At Unc Charlotte: A Collection Devleopment Fellowship, Stephen Krueger

The Southeastern Librarian

The J. Murrey Atkins Library at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte serves over 21,000 undergraduates and over 4,000 graduate students. Apart from the sole branch library (Arts & Architecture), all of the resources are housed in the main building. In 2016, a plan was developed for a comprehensive weeding project. Two primary factors made this necessary. One was the adaptive nature of the library’s philosophy; student needs and preferences were constantly assessed, and changes were made to the library’s services and spaces based on them. The creation of a makerspace, a family-friendly study room, and other student workspaces …


Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin Jul 2017

Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin

The Southeastern Librarian

Grant writing is more important than ever in an era of “proving our worth” at academic libraries. For small libraries wanting to provide their communities with unique programming opportunities, such grant writing is often essential, because the funding for programming is often nonexistent, or minimal.

In an era of falling enrollment, budget cuts and pressure from …

An Assessment Of Frequently Challenged Lgbtq* Books In Alabama Public Libraries, Sonja Sheffield

The Southeastern Librarian

Libraries are often seen as safe places for all people in a community. Libraries draw in diverse members of the community who all feel generally safe in the public space (Leckie and Hopkins, 2002, p. 353). Libraries often strive to be places of “no judgment” where all are treated equally and can have their information needs met in an unbiased fashion (American Library Association, 2006). There are also initiatives in many libraries to serve various marginalized groups in a community, such as immigrants (Shen, 2013), those with disabilities (Ross and Atkin, 2002), and the homeless (Ayers, 2006). Though civil rights …
