Checking Out Facebook.Com: The Impact Of A Digital Trend On Academic Libraries, Laurie Charnigo Heathcock, Paula Barnett-Ellis Mar 2007

Checking Out Facebook.Com: The Impact Of A Digital Trend On Academic Libraries, Laurie Charnigo Heathcock, Paula Barnett-Ellis

Research, Publications & Creative Work

While the burgeoning trend in online social networks has gained much attention from the media, few studies in library science have yet to address the topic in depth. This article reports on a survey of 126 academic librarians concerning their perspectives toward Facebook.com, an online network for students. Findings suggest that librarians are overwhelmingly aware of the ‘Facebook phenomenon.’ Those who are most enthusiastic about the potential of online social networking suggested ideas for using Facebook to promote library services and events. Few individuals reported problems or distractions as a result of patrons accessing Facebook in the library. When …

No Longer The Sacred Cow – No Longer A Desk: Transforming Reference Service To Meet 21st Century User Needs, Gabriela Sonntag, Felicia Palsson Feb 2007

No Longer The Sacred Cow – No Longer A Desk: Transforming Reference Service To Meet 21st Century User Needs, Gabriela Sonntag, Felicia Palsson

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The reference desk is no longer an essential component of the work of academic librarians. Instruction programs are becoming stronger and more pervasive; librarians are increasing their contact with students and faculty in course-related interactions. We recognize that Google has become the primary resource for quick reference answers with students, faculty and with librarians. Students are indeed becoming more independent, as evidenced by declining reference statistics across the nation. But how are students' research needs met? Are we abandoning them altogether? At the California State University San Marcos, reference services with strong ties to the Information Literacy Program incorporate technology …

Wanita M. Scroggs, an attorney admitted to the Florida Bar and librarian at Stetson University College of Law, donated this book of writs of capias (book of arrest warrants) to the Poynter Library. Many of the warrants were issued for courts in Jacksonville and Ocala in the early 1890s. Among the witnesses and issuers of warrants was E[verett] E. Johns, who later perished in the line of duty on December 6, 1905 from a gunshot wound near Fernandina while serving as a chief deputy in Nassau County. Johns had previously served as sheriff of Bradford County. His sons—Everett Markley and …

Agricultural Knowledge Transfer In India: A Study Of Prevailing Communication Channels, I. V. Malhan, Shivarama Rao

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract: The nature of agricultural research institutions and activities considerably influence the agriculture information sector in India. This paper describes the development of the agricultural sector in India and provides a comprehensive review of channels of agricultural knowledge transfer in India, including community projects, extension services, government initiatives, agriclinics, networks, and the role of non-governmental organizations and libraries. The paper concludes with the need for integration and consolidation of existing efforts for knowledge transfer from lab to land, and highlights the requirement of setting up a universal agricultural digital library, including content on all areas of agriculture.

A photographer, publicist, and journalist, Mr. Jones worked as Florida editor for the Pittsburgh Courier and edited the African American pages of the St. Petersburg Times and St. Petersburg Evening Independent.

Joane Miller, a resident of Redington Beach and widow of Parker E. Miller, donated the materials in this collection in two separate accessions. In early 1999, the library received a single bound notebook with individual documents signed by the first thirty-two Presidents of the United States (George Washington through Harry S. Truman).
