Written In Light: Creating Access To Photographic Collections, Suellyn Lathrop, Nancy Richey Apr 2015

Written In Light: Creating Access To Photographic Collections, Suellyn Lathrop, Nancy Richey

The Southeastern Librarian

The value in photographs is noted "in our culture because they are inexpensive, easy to acquire, and serve as accurate, detailed records of our environment and activities" (Schmidle, 1996). But, many challenges are presented to the archivist and librarian by the discovered or donated collection of photographs because in their abundance and variety, they can surpass all other forms of information housed in institutions. For a university archives, holdings include photographs culled from manuscript collections, from individual photographers and alumni, but the majority come from in-house production. For the librarian, the provenance of the photographs will be as varied as …


The Embedded Library: Beyond The Course Connection, Sims Kline Apr 2015

The Embedded Library: Beyond The Course Connection, Sims Kline

The Southeastern Librarian

Several hundred articles have been published in the last few years on the role of the “embedded librarian” and the nature of “embedded librarianship” as well as books on the subject, e.g. Embedded Librarianship: What Every Academic Librarian Should Know (Daughtery & Russo, 2013). “The Art and Environment of Embedded Librarianship” (Saunders & Taylor, 2014) is a good example of an article examining the librarian’s role in a specific course. “Embedded librarianship” has been established as a subject heading in Library and Information Science Abstracts.


I Feel The Need To Weed!: Maintaining An E-Book Collection, Jennifer Culley Apr 2015

I Feel The Need To Weed!: Maintaining An E-Book Collection, Jennifer Culley

The Southeastern Librarian

Libraries and library collections are evolving. Formats are changing as technology advances, and physical libraries are expanding into an ever increasing digital world.

Anyone, or any entity, that collects books in print or electronic format will eventually come to the realization that their space is finite. In order to acquire new materials they must either expand their space or do that horrible "four letter word"... weed. The word itself sends shivers down the backs of librarians everywhere. How can any …

It's So Boring: Improving Library Orientation Sessions For First-Year Students, Melissa Dennis, Ashely S. Dees

The Southeastern Librarian

Instruction librarians sometimes face challenges in planning and implementing successful one-shot sessions for students. Librarians understand the strain of assessing student learning for the university as well as the desire to teach every student important information literacy skills. The difficulties are managing limited time, uncontrollable space, faculty collaboration, and student motivation in order to develop and achieve class goals. There are a variety of factors that can lead to student boredom or frustration with the library. Library layout can lead to a potentially frustrating first impression with students because of their unfamiliarity with the physical space, library classification system, and …

Experience Mandatory: Assessing The Impact Of Previous Career And Educational Experience On Lis Education And The Academic Library Job Hunt, Sojourna J. Cunningham, Ingrid J. Ruffin

The Southeastern Librarian

Since 2002, 97% of librarian jobs posted in American Libraries have required an American Library Association (ALA) accredited master’s degree (2004). The ALA Committee on Accreditation provides a general framework for library master’s program curriculum, “through a variety of educational experiences, for the study of theory, principles, practice, and values necessary for the provision of service in libraries and information agencies and in other contexts.” (Accreditation, 2014). ALA curriculum requirements are broad, however, so courses and requirements within ALA degree granting institutions vary immensely from program to program.


A Passion Deficit: Occupational Burnout And The New Librarian: A Recommendation Report, Linda A. Christian Jan 2015

A Passion Deficit: Occupational Burnout And The New Librarian: A Recommendation Report, Linda A. Christian

The Southeastern Librarian

Burnout is about an employee’s relationship with their work (Harwell, 2013, n.p.).

Burnout increases turnover rates and absenteeism; causes decreased performance, workplace accidents and poor customer service; and sometimes leads to litigation. It also threatens the integrity and professionalism of an individual. Emotional labor—sometimes referred to as “emotion work” or “emotion management”—contributes heavily to the burnout factor by forcing an employee to control his or her feelings in order to fulfill the goals or expectations of an …
