Life In The Fishbowl, Brittany N. Barry 2016 Gettysburg College

Life In The Fishbowl, Brittany N. Barry

Blogging the Library

I was never quite certain what went on in those offices behind the glass windows on the second floor of Musselman Library, but two weeks into my Fortenbaugh Music Librarian Internship I am beginning to get an idea. After talking with some of the staff that work in the fishbowl I have gotten a glimpse at some of the goings on behind the scenes of the librarian. If you’ve ever wondered how all these books and resources came to be or how in the world you are able to find a single thing in this place (maybe with some assistance), …


Merging Special Collections With Gis Technology To Enhance The User Experience, Gina L. Nichols 2016 San Jose State University

Merging Special Collections With Gis Technology To Enhance The User Experience, Gina L. Nichols

School of Information Student Research Journal

This analysis evaluates how PhillyHistory.org merged their unique special collection materials with geospatial-based progressive technology to challenge and educate the global community. A new generation of technologically savvy researchers has emerged that expect a more enhanced user experience than earlier generations. To meet these needs, collection managers are collaborating with community and local institutions to increase online access to materials; mixing best metadata practices with custom elements to create map mashups; and merging progressive GIS technology and geospatial based applications with their collections to enhance the user experience. The PhillyHistory.org website was analyzed to explore how they used various geospatial …


Information Behavior In The Mobile Environment: An Overview, Ziming Liu 2016 San Jose State University

Information Behavior In The Mobile Environment: An Overview, Ziming Liu

School of Information Student Research Journal

As smartphones become ubiquitous, they increasingly influence the way in which students seek and use information. It is important to understand emerging information behavior as a result of wide spread use of smartphones. This paper provides an overview of information behavior in the mobile environment. Gender differences in mobile information seeking are discussed. People interact with mobile information in varied and unpredictable locations or while in transit. The mobility of information engagement is an important issue that human information theory should embrace.

Reconsidering Library Collections: Community Services As Documents, Deborah Turner 2016 Drexel University

Reconsidering Library Collections: Community Services As Documents, Deborah Turner

Proceedings from the Document Academy

In recognition of on-going change in how information becomes available, this study focuses on urban public librarian practices for meeting information needs, especially those of users who prefer to talk when obtaining information. Interview and focus group data reveal how libraries meet those needs including through library collaborations with community service agencies. Analysis of that data makes it possible to note that librarians manage relations with these agencies similar to how they manage traditional library collections. A subsequent discussion considers how this observation impacts LIS education and current understanding of documents before concluding with recommendations for professional practice and for …

Prospects And Strategies For Deep Collaboration In The Galleries, Libraries, Archives, And Museums Sector, Jill Deupi, Charles Eckman

Academic Art Museum and Library Summit (Coral Gables: January 2016)

This paper reports on the findings of a working summit hosted by the University of Miami in January 2016 at which the administrative heads of art museums and libraries from fourteen academic institutions convened to explore the barriers to—and opportunities for—deeper intra-institutional museum-library collaborations. The summit was jointly funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and featured presentations by thought-leaders in the academic galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) sector. This paper presents a summary of the work, discussions, and outcomes of the summit including recommendations for further effort in the following areas: (1) …


Authority And Source Evaluation In The Critical Library Classroom, Eamon Tewell, Katelyn Angell 2016 Long Island University - Brooklyn Campus

Authority And Source Evaluation In The Critical Library Classroom, Eamon Tewell, Katelyn Angell

Brooklyn Library Faculty Publications

These lesson plans began with a desire to explore notions of authority in the library classroom at our mid-sized urban university, including how authority is used by teachers to the benefit or detriment of learners and how learners can begin to reclaim their own authority. In creating these lesson plans, we sought to begin with students’ experiences, promote their sense of personal empowerment, and encourage them to consider the complexities of source evaluation.


Access To Physical Media In Academic Libraries: From Policy Review To Action Plan, Rachel King 2016 Long Island University

Access To Physical Media In Academic Libraries: From Policy Review To Action Plan, Rachel King

Brooklyn Library Faculty Publications

Streaming video is becoming the preferred means of viewing video for consumers, but physical formats do continue to offer libraries certain advantages: greater variety of choice for patrons at a lower cost. Many academic libraries have invested heavily in DVD collections, and these videos may be housed in closed stacks that satisfy some stakeholders but that discourage use and do not meet student needs or expectations. This article provides a framework for deciding whether or not to open up a closed collection, and uses the author’s library’s closed-stack collection as a case study.
