The Library As Publisher?: Collecting And Curating For Digital Repositories, Timothy T. Strawn

Robert E. Kennedy Library

The traditional role of libraries as aggregators, curators and disseminators of resources has been profoundly challenged by the notion of libraries as publishers of content. While publishing models include the ideas of aggregating, curating and disseminating content, these terms have radically different definitions in each context (libraries v. publishers). While we understand the motivation of publishers and their role in selecting and distributing content, much less is understood of the role that libraries should, or could play in the chain of “publishing” involved in their hosting of institutional repositories.
This paper will explore:

Information Literacy Plans: Does Your Law Library Need One?, Judith Gire

Law Faculty Scholarship

[Excerpt] "Although information literacy plans were initiated by and for academe, there is no reason they will not work in any law library. Information literacy is about preparing patrons with the skills necessary to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information throughout their lives, including their lives in law firms, corporations, government agencies and courts, as well as law schools. An institutional information literacy plan makes perfect sense for any law library in the business of equipping patrons to manage the information age like pros regardless of whether those patrons are law clerks, associates, partners, judges, or law students. And isn’t …

This article provides critical annotations of English-language reference sources, published since 1990, and available both in print and online, in an effort to aid librarians collecting and weeding materials for human rights research.

This article was included in the Journal of Academic Librarianship's Guide to the Professional Literature in 2010. The Guide "is a highly selective …

Library Scholarly Publications

The session reports on two institutional initiatives for connecting first-year students with the library.

They report on the findings of the usability studies conducted with the webpage. Using a think-aloud protocol reviewed by the university’s institutional review board, students completed a …
