Engaging Students By Going The Extra Mile, Alissa Fial, Teresa Hartman

Posters and Presentations: Leon S. McGoogan Health Sciences Library

For the last three years, library faculty have provided face-to-face and distance literacy instruction sessions to health professional students on five campuses around the country, strengthening connections between students and the main campus. Faculty appreciate the interdisciplinary collaboration and students receive instruction in essential research skills. This model highlights the benefits of incorporating librarians into your curriculum.

Turning Wrongs Into Rights: Implementation Of Rightsstatements.Org At Washington University, Micah Zeller

WashU Libraries Presentations

As many librarians who work with digital collections know, ambiguous or meaningless rights statements can cause confusion and limit downstream use of materials. Following DPLA and Europeana's lead in drafting simple, standardized terms that help metadata contributors more effectively communicate copyright and re-use status of digital objects, we evaluated materials in 50+ exhibits at Washington University Libraries in order to assign each an appropriate statement from RightsStatements.org and help facilitate the same for other contributors to the Missouri Hub. This poster focuses on the implementation of project statements and recommendations. Its purpose is to share and discuss practical steps and …

Information Literacy And Informed Learning: Conceptual Innovations For Il Research And Practice Futures, Christine S. Bruce, Andrew Demasson, Hilary Hughes, Mandy Lupton, Clarence Maybee, Anita Mirijamdotter, Elham Sayyad Abdi, Mary M. Somerville

University Libraries Librarian and Staff Articles and Papers

Our paper draws together conceptual innovations emerging from the work of a group of researchers focussed on the relational approach to information literacy, more recently labelled ‘informed learning’. Team members have been working together in various configurations for periods ranging from seven to seventeen years. Our collaborative approach continues to yield new concepts and constructs which we believe to be of value to ongoing research and practice. Some of the ideas discussed have been previouly published, while others are being put forward for the first time. All are significant in that they together form new constructs that have emerged from …

Comparative Analysis Of Big Data Analytics Software In Assessing Sample Data, Soly Mathew Biju, Alex Mathew

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

Over the last few years, big data has emerged as an important topic of discussion in most firms owing to its ability of creation, storage and processing of content at a reasonable price. Big data consists of advanced tools and techniques to process large volumes of data in organisations. Investment in big data analytics has almost become a necessity in large-sized firms, particularly multinational companies, for its unique benefits, particularly in prediction and identification of various trends. Some of the most popular big data analytics software used today are MapReduce, Hive, Tableau and Hive, while the framework Hadoop enables easy …

Building On Success: Using Assessment To Expand Library Outreach Services, Katie Bishop, Tammi Owens

Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Discussion:

• A needs assessment intake form standardizing program director interviews is important; original system of interview notes was not viable long-term.
• Workshops were well-attended when marketed to students who were rewarded for attendance: TLC primary audience in fall, Comp II in spring.
• Unpopular fall workshops were removed from the spring schedule.
• Because roving was less successful at OMVS we will teach library skills to their peer tutoring staff.
• Data sharing with OMVS uncovered unfilled need; led to outreach plan to support underachieving Comp II students.

Open Access Outreach: Smash Vs. Suasion, Jill Cirasella

Publications and Research

Some librarians became open access (OA) supporters because they were outraged—and budgetarily hamstrung—by certain commercial publishers' artificially inflated prices. (We know they are artificially inflated, unjustified by production costs, because these publishers have jaw-dropping profit margins, higher than those of Disney, Starbucks, Google, and even Apple.) Other librarians were won over to OA by its more altruistic aspects, by the promise of a world rich in knowledge. However, in their outreach to patrons, librarians cannot rely on the arguments that swayed them. What convinced a librarian to embrace OA may not convert a student, a faculty member, or an administrator. …

Leadership And Innovative Practices In Nigerian Academic Libraries, Adetola Akanbiemu

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Abstract

The paper discusses the importance of leadership on innovative practices in academic libraries in Nigeria. Academic libraries are expected to provide services in all forms, they provide reference services, technical, readers’ services and so on, and also providing information resources in all kinds of format .Being a routine-like organization, users will desire new methods and expect creativity. Without creativity, turnout to the library may be less. Hence, good and innovative library leadership is important to keep its relevance to the university. It is therefore crucial for academic libraries to have effective leadership that will foster creativity and innovative practices. …

What About Classification Bias?: Channeling Sandy Berman, F. Tim Knight

Librarian Publications & Presentations

As libraries explore new avenues of information access, the need for a critical evaluation of our bibliographic tools is more important than ever. With the potential of the emerging semantic web and the promise of linked data, how will systems originally designed to organize closed physical collections translate to an increasingly fragmented digital information space? How will deep-seated cultural biases affect access to a cross-cultural information environment? This paper will review the work of Sandy Berman’s Prejudices and Antipathies: A Tract on the LC Subject Heads Concerning People aiming to explore a critical framework to evaluate the cultural interoperability of …

Here, There And Everywhere: An Analysis Of Reference Services In Academic Archives, Amanda Oliver, Amanda Jamieson, Anne Daniel

Western Libraries Publications

The purpose of this study is to investigate how archivists conduct reference services. The investigators administered two surveys to 19 participants at 15 Canadian academic archives to understand archivists’ behaviour while performing reference. There is no standard approach to reference as many archivists use institution-specific tools coupled with their own knowledge. Finding aids are the most frequently accessed tool and are most often used in conjunction with other tools. Limited resources are the primary barrier to the provision of effective reference services. The tools that are employed by archives are archivist focused, which results in reference services that are not …

The Protection Of Indigenous Intellectual Property Rights, Melissa Seelye

FIMS Presentations

Librarians and archivists have played prominent roles in initiatives aimed at preserving indigenous cultural heritage in recent decades. Such initiatives have evolved in response to the relative lack of legal protections for indigenous cultural heritage of an intangible nature, especially compared to title laws intended to regulate the use of indigenous lands, burial sites, and plants. Even non-legally binding resolutions that take a holistic approach to indigenous property have proven contentious, with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) having only been ratified in 2007, despite being drafted in 1993. Grounded in a critical understanding of …

Dreaming, Daring, Doing - Creation Of Relaxation And Patient Education Stations In A Hospital, Dana Kopp

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

Objectives: To replace an obsolete VHS-based patient education system and to support noise coverage, and sleep and patient education initiatives in the hospital, the Librarian developed and licensed programming for two stations to run on the hospital's closed cable system via high definition media players. The development, challenges and lessons learned will be discussed.

Methods: The Relaxation & Patient Education Stations Project, funded in part by a NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region Pilot Project Award was designed to tackle two significant issues in hospital patient care: noise and patient education, plus provide the opportunity to promote library services. Research shows that …

"Where Are The Bathrooms?": Academic Library Restrooms And Student Needs, Stephanie Margolin, Jennifer Poggiali

Publications and Research

This article investigates bathrooms, paying specific attention to those in academic libraries. The authors describe how bathrooms have been considered in the library literature for the past century and challenges to changing the status quo. Finally, this work sets the stage for future inquiry. Research materials come from a range of sources: historical library literature, building codes, social science theory and research that address the issues around bathroom taboos, and checklists for assessing bathrooms. The authors propose librarians and library administrators reconsider all aspects of their own bathrooms: location, features, equity/inclusiveness, and maintenance in service to their patrons.
