The English-Speaking Librarians' Club Of The Ukrainian Library Association, G. Jaia Barrett, Janet Dolya Jan 2002

The English-Speaking Librarians' Club Of The Ukrainian Library Association, G. Jaia Barrett, Janet Dolya

E-JASL: Electronic Journal of Academic and Special Librarianship (1999-2009, Volumes 1-10)

We decided to tell this story of the English-Speaking Librarians' Club in this article with the hope that English-speaking librarians living and visiting elsewhere in the former Soviet Union will look for similar opportunities. To our knowledge, none of the library associations in the other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States have yet established such a professional unit. For readers in the U.S., we add a word about the name of the group. The word "club" is commonly used in Ukraine for groups that come together around a common agenda but it does not carry the connotations associated with …

Scholarly Communication: The Use And Non-Use Of E-Print Archives For The Dissemination Of Scientific Information, Ibironke Lawal Jan 2002

Scholarly Communication: The Use And Non-Use Of E-Print Archives For The Dissemination Of Scientific Information, Ibironke Lawal

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

This study surveyed a randomly chosen sample from a population of 240,000 scholars in nine scientific disciplines from private and public colleges and universities across the United States and Canada. The disciplines included physics/astronomy, chemistry, mathematics/computer science, engineering, cognitive science/psychology, and biological sciences. The survey sought to determine use and non-use of e-print archives in the different disciplines. Results show that 18 percent of the researchers use at least one archive while 82 percent do not use any. Scholars in physics use e-print archives the most and chemistry the least. ArXiv receives the most use and authors' web sites the …

Bringing The Library To The Students: Using Technology To Deliver Instruction And Resources For Research, Judith Arnold, Jennifer N. Sias, Jingping Zhang

Librarian Research

To provide equitable services and access to off-campus students, librarians must meet the challenges of the digital divide and the geographic divide. Instruction and document delivery are key services that can determine how successful a library is in meeting its responsibility to distance learning. This session will focus on technological solutions to instruction, access, and document delivery in technology-challenged and remote environments.

Archival Donor Relations And Development: Keeping A Balance, Carla M. Summers Jan 2002

Archival Donor Relations And Development: Keeping A Balance, Carla M. Summers

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

One of the central pleasures of archival work is developing relationships with donors of materials. These people are extraordinary and their activities have changed society. Donors of materials in the author's experience have included an artist whose journals capture the development of a creative vision for his work and his teaching, a famous broadcaster lively only when the microphone was on, politicians who have made great sacrifices to be of service but found great rewards, a famous writer who regards his manuscripts as a bank account he can draw on in his old age, farmers working to preserve the family …

Virginia Geographic Information System (Gis) Programs And Resources For Libraries, Stuart Frazer Jan 2002

Virginia Geographic Information System (Gis) Programs And Resources For Libraries, Stuart Frazer

Libraries Faculty & Staff Publications

Over the last ten years geographic information systems (GIS) have drawn increasing attention from the library community. In Virginia the way has been led by the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech library systems, both members of the Association of Research Libraries' GIS Literacy Project (http://www.arl.org/info/gis/index.html) begun in 1992. Many of the Commonwealth's other college and university libraries are now offering GIS services at varying levels of complexity. As library interest in GIS grows, the time seems right for a roundup of resources available from higher education and public sector organizations across the Commonwealth.

Making Sense Of Leased Popular Literature Collections, Kerri Odess-Harnish Jan 2002

Making Sense Of Leased Popular Literature Collections, Kerri Odess-Harnish

All Musselman Library Staff Works

There is a well-publicized debate in the library field on whether or not it should be an academic library’s responsibility to collect and preserve popular culture materials. Budget constraints, space issues, and the “quality” of these materials, are all widely documented concerns as to why popular culture materials—especially popular literature titles—are still not making their way into an academic library’s permanent collection. This study describes a survey of 22 academic libraries throughout the country that use a leased popular literature collection in addition to or instead of purchasing popular literature titles for their permanent collection. The study was designed to …

Long-Term Retention Of Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Thomas H. Teper, Beth Kraemer Jan 2002

Long-Term Retention Of Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Thomas H. Teper, Beth Kraemer

Library Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper examines the increasing trend of universities to pursue electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) programs. Although the goal of most programs is similar, procedural variations impact a program’s long-term success. As primary research generators, responsibility for providing long-term access to unique materials must be borne by universities. However, this responsibility is in conflict with many ETD program goals, such as increased access and ease of production.

Narnia In The News, C.S. Lewis & Harpercollins, Roger Phillips Jan 2002

Narnia In The News, C.S. Lewis & Harpercollins, Roger Phillips

The Christian Librarian

C.S. Lewis' beloved Narnia has withstood the attack of the White Witch (aka Queen Jadis) from within and the Calormenes from without, but can it stand against modern publishing giant HarperCollins? This question in various forms has been voiced in the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly and Christianity Today. So let's just get the facts out into the light of day and decide for ourselves. But those facts are shrouded in a fog that would rival any to be found in Narnia.

Editorial, Diane Garber

The Christian Librarian

Have you ever felt cramped? Out of space? Short of room? Working on this issue of The Christian Librarian is a continuation of a theme in my life lately. This is issue is jammed packed with articles and features and ACL Conference information that must go out to readers. There wasn't even room for "pull-quotes" -- those attention grabbing statements that highlight each article in hopes of attracting you to read further, and add an attractive graphic element to each page. We've even added extra pages so there would be enough room to fit it all in.

Lifelong Learning & The Library Connection: A Perpectual Model For Tertiary Library Customer Education, Deborah Ann Cronau Ph.D. Jan 2002

Lifelong Learning & The Library Connection: A Perpectual Model For Tertiary Library Customer Education, Deborah Ann Cronau Ph.D.

The Christian Librarian

The Lifelong Learning and Library Connection as a model for tertiary library customer education examined the transitional skill and ability expectations of undergraduate tertiary education students to propose a Perceptual Model of lifelong learning as an alternative to behavioural and relational models which are more experientially or practice based. The hypothesis of a recent study was that the personal perceptions of customers can mirror personal reality. What customers believe can predict what they will pursue. Therefore a Perceptual Model can offer the advantage of facilitating lifelong learning through library customer education approaches geared to the sequential levels of skills needed …

Collection Development For Distance Learning, Anne Marie Casey

Publications

The ACRL Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services (ACRL 2000) define distance learning library services as, “… those … in support of college, university, or other post-secondary courses and programs offered away from a main campus, or in the absence of a traditional campus, and regardless of where credit is given.

Satisfaction And Skills We Gain As Archivists Are Not Ours To Keep, Susan G. Broome Jan 2002

Satisfaction And Skills We Gain As Archivists Are Not Ours To Keep, Susan G. Broome

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

A year ago Provenance was in triage, and the executive board of the Society of Georgia Archivists (SGA) had health care power of attorney. A robust journal, fed by the careful attention of outgoing editor Sheryl Vogt, her staff, and the editorial board, was floundering. Transfusions from other leaders were in order, but an extended search for a new attending physician had not been successful. A sense of despair and resignation was felt by many who had invested their lifeblood in the publication. There was talk of letting it die with dignity, but there was a critical need to evaluate …
