Toward A Design Epistemology For Librarianship, Rachel I. Clarke

School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship

The design of information tools and services is an integral component of librarianship, yet American librarianship has self-identified as a social science for more than 100 years. This paper suggests an alternative epistemological perspective to the scientific tradition in librarianship: design epistemology. The paper discusses key elements that comprise design epistemology and presents examples of manifestations of these elements in librarianship. Analysis reveals that librarianship has much in common with design epistemology, yet the field lacks explicit acknowledgement of design as a fundamental epistemological framework. The paper concludes with a call for reconceptualizing librarianship as a design discipline.

Twentieth-Century Global Perspectives, Janice Schuster

Library Faculty and Staff papers

The collections that comprise Twentieth-Century Global Perspectives,

covering 1941-1996, include primary sources from the Central

Intelligence Agency’s Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS)

Daily Reports, 1941-1996 and its Joint Publications Research Service

(JPRS) Reports, 1957-1995. The online versions of these sources are

not consolidated anywhere else, making these collections invaluable

for researchers in the various disciplines covered. Weaknesses of the

database include the inability to search across all collections simultaneously,

the absence of help screens, and the inability to export to

bibliographic management tools such as RefWorks or Zotero.

Researchgate Vs. The Institutional Repository: Competition Or Complement?, Julia Lovett, Andrée Rathemacher

Technical Services Faculty Presentations

Poster, "ResearchGate vs. the Institutional Repository: Competition or Complement?," presented at the 2017 Charleston Conference: Issues in Book and Serial Acquisition, What’s Past is Prologue, on November 8, 2017 in Charleston, South Carolina.

"The popularity of ResearchGate and Academia.edu indicates that scholars want to share their work, yet to librarians tasked with implementing an Open Access policy, it can appear as though faculty are willing to invest more time uploading articles to academic social networks—often in violation of publisher policies—than in submitting articles for deposit in the institutional repository. In this session, we will present the results of a population …
