Academic Libraries And The Remaking Of The Canon: Implications For Collection Development Librarians, Julianne Buchsbaum

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

An issue of central importance for academic librarians of the future will be how to perform successful collection development in a time of narrow budgets and a rapidly expanding universe of information. For librarians in the humanities, in particular, the issue of how to decide what to collect is even more fraught with tensions in a multicultural era in which conventional standards used to evaluate materials have been radically contested and in which the very existence of the canon, or any type of core collection, has been called into question.

Public Services Faculty Presentations

Slides from the 2009 New England Library Instruction Group Annual Program, June 6, 2009, Portland, ME.

Technological change is inevitable, and when the opportunity arose at the University of Rhode Island to have input into the choice of a new Course Management System, two librarians sat in on the committee’s meetings, testing tools and offering opinions. When the committee unanimously recommended going with Sakai, an open source CMS, the door was opened to run a class in the new system, which would eventually replace WebCT across campus.

This 30-minute presentation will briefly describe the route taken to choosing Sakai, and …

Increasing Access To Serials Without Assigned Issns : A Poster Session, Barbara M. Pope

Faculty Submissions

The need for accurate information about an academic library’s serials has become increasingly important in the age of open url resolvers. Whereas open url resolvers normally link on the issn of a serial, this is not possible for serials without issns. This poster session is one academic library’s solution to making their print serials without assigned issns linkable in an open url resolver. As a result, the collection is more accessible, and hopefully, will receive greater use and provide for fewer interlibrary loan requests for titles the library owns.
