The Anchor: 2015

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions).

Archives Exhibits

Grace Yang (Class of 2000) and Dr. Christian Nøkkentved standing in front of the special exhibit “IMSA and the Wide, Wide World” at an alumni/ae reunion. Since its very beginning there have been connections between the people of IMSA and the world. Those connections have ranged from informal to formal, from individual to group experiences of students, teachers and staff, from presentations at international conferences to exchange programs, and there have been visits of government and institutional officials. Moreover, the people of IMSA have participated both as travelers and as hosts. This exhibit illustrates some of those experiences in and …

Library Link Resolvers And Analytics: Using Analytics Tools To Identify Usage Trends And Access Problems With Electronic Resources In Libraries, Amelia Mowry

Library Scholarly Publications

Analytics have become vital to exploring the use of websites in the library world. They allow us to discover who is using our sites, when they are using them, and how they are using them. I believe this data will only become more important as libraries continue to prove their worth in the digital world.

However, there are some challenges with using analytics. One major issue is that some of the essential sites relating to the delivery of library materials do not actually belong to the library. One example of this is the link resolver, which attempts to connect patrons …

From Social To Scholarly And Back Again, Jill Emery, Charlie Rapple

Library Faculty and Staff Publications and Presentations

Researchers are increasingly connecting and working together across institutional and global boundaries, thanks to networks like Academia.edu and ResearchGate, and networked tools like Mendeley. As research itself (not just the resulting publications) begins to break free of traditional containers, what kinds of support can information professionals provide? How can we extend actions we are already taking in virtual reference and virtual help, and expand them into these venues? What challenges are we likely to encounter? What existing services might we be able to draw on to help researchers maximize the reach and impact of their work, wherever it takes place? …

Blogging the Library

Since my last blog post, I have become more familiar with the desk and have begun to answer questions that are more in depth and make use of the reference skills that I have been learning. This week, I have even started working the desk by myself! I was a little nervous at first, but once I had my first patron, I realized that I felt confident in what I had learned in my training and I was able to help! [excerpt]

Finished Processing First Collection!, Melanie L. Fernandes

Blogging the Library

Hello! On Tuesday I finally finished processing and organizing my first collection. On the left is my finished product, all labeled and organized. Processing this collection was a very enjoyable experience for me–I feel that I am the expert on this collection. Throughout the process it was sometimes difficult to know how to group some of the items. Certain things, like meeting minutes, are easy to group together. Some things like handwritten notes or various articles are more difficult to group. If the notes contain a wide variation in subject matter, it might be better to group them into several …

Teaching Information Literacy To Undergraduate Students: Reflecting On The Past, Present And Future Of Library Instruction, Scott Juskiewicz, Conor Cote

Library

The need to teach information literacy skills to undergraduate students is often framed as a 21^st century concern, but debate over the value and practice of teaching this set of skills can be found as far back as the early 1900’s. This article reviews the history of information literacy instruction in academic libraries from its origins to the present, examines the current state of information literacy instruction in academic libraries, and explores possible future directions that this instruction may take. Looking to the past, present and future shows that while library instruction has evolved, many central concerns remain unanswered.

Rli 285: Research Library Issues: A Report From Arl, Cni, And Sparc 2015 -- Special Issue On Copyright, Prudence Adler, Brandon Butler, Jonathan Band, Krista Cox

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

In “Fair Use Rising: Full-Text Access and Repurposing in Recent Case Law,” Brandon Butler, practitioner-in-residence at the American University Washington College of Law, reviews six recent fair use decisions that cut across many socially important and beneficial purposes. He highlights the trend of courts finding in favor of allowing “the broad redistribution of unaltered, full-text documents for new purposes.” Butler explains how this trend presents new opportunities for research libraries to use and re-purpose the full text of copyrighted works in their collections.
