Global Access To Science – Meeting The Revolution, Tom Cochrane

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper considers the large changes occurring in the way science is done, and the global significance of such changes. It reviews the mission of librarianship in promoting access to science and then surveys developments in recent years specifically in improving open access to scientific publications, covering a range of issues including significant shifts in the public policy debate about access, as well as some of the arguments about the best means of achieving outcomes. It concludes with a review of fresh challenges in terms of access to scientific data (eResearch, eScience), and gives a view that while libraries cannot …

Electronic Texts In American Studies, Paul Royster

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Presentations

For the past year and a half I have been engaged in publishing open-access online editions of primary works of early American history and literature.

The Uncommon Commons [Nercomp June 5, 2007], D. Russell Bailey

Library Commons

The term commons has been used in library, information and technology parlance since before 1990: the Information – Learning – Knowledge - Research - Library – Creative – Patent Commons. Most uses of these terms refer to some combination of the continuum of high-touch high-tech patron services. Most Commons’ are focused intensely on patron needs, however defined, and housed in, or proximous to, a library. Some are new facilities, well-planned and financed, elaborately implemented, and well-resourced. Some, at the other end of the spectrum, are more concept than physical reality, but still provide, however minimally or incrementally, some of the …

Finding Common Ground At Plymouth State University [Nercomp, June 5, 2007], Elaine S. Allard, Jo-Ann M. Guilmett

Library Commons

Fall 2006 saw the opening of the Learning Commons at Lamson Library at Plymouth State University. Almost immediately, gates counts jumped and the once traditional library was abuzz with activity. By doing a minor remodel of the 10-year old library structure and utilizing existing staff, a dynamic partnership was created.

This presentation covers the 16 month-long project that saw a unique marriage between two key departments, the Library and Information Technology Services, with additional collaboration of other student services areas. It discusses how PSU, was able to build on current trends in Libraries, Technology and Higher Education and make our …

Not Exactly Trading Spaces: The Wesleyan University Library Information Commons [Nercomp, June 5, 2007], Dale Lee, Diane Klare, Pat Tully

Library Commons

In September 2005, Wesleyan University Library, Information Technology Services, and the Student Academic Resources Network (SARN), an umbrella organization for a variety of services, premiered a prototype Information Commons in Olin Library. Technology assistance, traditional reference, writing tutors and information about academic support services are now in one place, providing one-stop shopping for students. Workstations in the Commons facilitate group and individual work, with or without technology, while fitting aesthetically into a grand space combining traditional and modern elements. Some features of the Commons have been immediately successful, while others are changing to increase usage. Reference staff and student technology …

Two Rooms And A Concept [Nercomp, June 5, 2007], Elizabeth Tilley

Library Commons

Providing a collaborative learning space with appropriate services and resources for our undergraduate clientele, but with just two physical rooms, a limited budget and the commons concept to guide our decisions, was challenging. The context and mission of the Library within the University were important considerations and the theoretical and practical drivers for change as they relate to our goals and aims will be examined. Creativity in the use of space and clear, focused project management were also key factors in creating a successful Commons environment. The results of the changes made, and an assessment and evaluation of the project …

Session 2 - Societal-Consciousness In The Computing Curricula: A Time For Serious Introspection, Daniel Moix, Srini Ramaswamy

International Symposium on Technology and Society

This paper addresses the growing need for inculcating appropriate ethics within the computing curriculum by fostering the development of a societally-conscious ethical framework among our students to address the use of information technology vis-à-vis government, business and society. We propose a new integrated model based approach (IDEA) and suggest its adoption to encourage students on reflecting upon the social and ethical ramifications of technology, beyond the narrow, project focused tunnel vision that currently (subliminally) exists in many computing curricula, and in particular, in today’s profit-focused, consulting and contract-based software industry.

Another Look At African Cultures Through Picture Books, Dorothy N. Bowen

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship

I realized how difficult it is to describe what life is like for a child growing up in Africa when I was asked to make a presentation to two 6th grade classes. In the course of the presentation, I said, "Africa is not a country:' I had to smile to myself as I saw the shocked look on the face of a little girl sitting right in front of me. Her mouth dropped open and I knew that she thought I had made a very great error.

Digg.Com And Socially-Driven Authority, Steven Ovadia

Publications and Research

For years, librarians have been able to distill the notion of authority, in its purest form, to two simple questions: “Who said it?” and “Under whose auspices?” The answer to either, or preferably both, of these questions could tell a researcher whether to rely on the information retrieved. Today, however, in the world of online information, the notion of authority is shifting and librarians working in an instructional capacity must understand the shift and determine ways to help students cope with the changes. Searching in today’s socially-driven information era requires a different skill set for researchers looking for authoritative information. …

Metasearching And Beyond: Implementation Experiences And Advice From An Academic Library, Gail Herrera
