This paper draws on theory and personal experience to propose that larger institutions should assist their smaller counterparts through localized peer training programs, and that the benefits drawn from these programs …

The Ogallala Aquifer In Nebraska: Gray Literature (1891–2010), Adonna Fleming, Leslie M. Delserone, Elaine Maytag Nowick

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

The Ogallala Aquifer is a key water resource for several U. S. states.

A rich inventory of information about the Aquifer predates the current controversy. This article presents a key subset of an extensive, ongoing bibliography: 128 citations to gray literature about the Ogallala Aquifer in Nebraska, which are inaccessible online and/or held in only a few libraries.

Library Use Of Web-Based Research Guides, Jimmy Ghaphery, Erin White

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper describes the ways in which libraries are currently implementing and managing web-based research guides (a.k.a. Pathfinders, LibGuides, Subject Guides, etc.) by examining two sets of data from the spring of 2011. One set of data was compiled by visiting the websites of ninety-nine American university ARL libraries and recording the characteristics of each site’s research guides. The other set of data is based on an online survey of librarians about the ways in which their libraries implement and maintain research guides. In conclusion, a discussion follows that includes implications for the library technology community.
