Demonstrating knowledge mobilization and accountability are increasingly prominent features of the scholarly landscape; scholar-practitioners need to understand and strategically manage available indicators of impact. At the same time, traditional scholarly metrics and indexing are converging with social media, resulting in new approaches for measuring scholar-practitioner influence. The emerging scene challenges libraries to support scholars, practitioners and students to engage with an evolving environment in which much may be gained or forfeited depending on how reputation is curated. For librarians to assist scholars in this new altmetrics environment, more needs to be known about how students and faculty are or are not engaging with emerging tools available to them. This presentation gives an overview of the considerations, perceptions, and issues related to the use of altmetrics by graduate students and scholar-practitioners at VIU and Royal Roads University.]]>

Presented at the Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice 7 Conference in July, 2013 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Objective At the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year, Vancouver Island University library eliminated most fines, forgave all past overdue fines, eliminated in-library use restrictions, and increased loans periods. The main drivers of these policy changes were a desire to reduce barriers to accessing library materials and remove most financially punitive loan policies, coupled with a continued downward trend in the circulation of our physical circulation and revenue. This study explores the perceived and actual effects of reducing barriers at VIU library. Methods Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to measure the effect of policy changes. Statistical analysis of ILS data was used to explore physical circulation and overdue fine patterns. Qualitative feedback was collected via emails sent in reaction to a campus-wide policy change update, and via LibQUAL+ 2012 comments. Interviews with service desk staff illuminated the perceived impact of policy changes Results Students, library staff, and faculty were overwhelmingly positive about the changes. Staff are no longer put in an awkward enforcement role, which has fundamentally altered their interactions with library users. Many library employees believe that these policy changes have had a significant effect on borrowing trends, but statistics prove do not bear this feeling out. There has been little change in borrowing and overdue trends. At first, there was some initial faculty worry that this policy change might make it difficult to access particular books that other users had checked out in a timely fashion. This situation has not materialized. Conclusion In an era of declining physical circulation and users that increasingly expect free information, it no longer makes sense for VIU to have restrictive physical borrowing policies in place. By removing most fines and changing policies to reduce restrictions, the library sacrificed a small revenue stream for significant goodwill among our user base. ]]>
