Imsa And The Wide, Wide World*, Christian D. Nøkkentved

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 …

Serials Renewal Cycle: Doing It The Smu (A Different U) Way!, Kai Leong Heng

Research Collection Library

Academic libraries typically renew their serials subscriptions (Individual print and/or online titles) annually by comparing prices, availability and service terms proposed by different subscription agents. In Singapore (and possibly other countries in the region), we have only up to 3 (active and competing) subscription agents to choose from. At Singapore Management University (SMU), the library maintains about 500 serials titles. The “legacy” practice had been to split the order between the two of larger agents and designate a staff each to take charge of related operational matters. This session will present a different approach in the serials renewal cycle which …

Optimizing Kbart Guidelines To Restore Perpetual Access, Kelly M. Blanchat

Publications and Research

After experiencing a 25-percent decrease in the collection budget, the Queens College Libraries (QCL) faced losing electronic journal content with cancellations to Big Deal licensing agreements. By using tools such as Serials Solutions, Ex Libris SFX and Microsoft Excel, the library was able to optimize KBART guidelines to analyze and restore journal titles under perpetual access licensing clauses. The implemented workflow mirrored the process to create “Big Deal” renewal spreadsheets at Springer Science + Business Media.

Research Data And Linked Data: A New Future For Technical Services?, Sherry L. Vellucci

University Library Scholarship

This book chapter examines two futures for academic librarians working in access (technical) services: deeper collaboration on data management with faculty and student researchers and expanded access to library resources on the Semantic Web. Both are concerned with data organization, discovery, access, and support of shared data beyond the library. The chapter examines many aspects of research data from the perspectives of researchers and librarians. It briefly examines events prior to the library's greater involvement with research data, looks at how librarians gained fundamental knowledge and skills to assist with the tasks involved with research data curation, and discusses why …

Presenters will share the planning and decision processes used in restructuring three floors at their library.

A Primer On How To Launch An Institutional Repository Successfully, Larry Sheret, Thomas L. Walker Ii, Gretchen Rae Beach, Jingping Zhang

Librarian Research

This is a case study about the implementation of an institutional repository (IR) at Marshall University. Libraries have always collected information from a worldwide marketplace and have disseminated these resources locally. The IR has created a new function for the library by making it practical to acquire locally developed resources and to disseminate them freely worldwide. This has altered the traditional role of librarians and suggests a broader set of implications for the future usefulness and relevancy of the IR as doors open to new partnerships that will strengthen the university and the library’s place within it.
