1. Library collections are increasingly moving from primarily print to digital as technology impacts information production and students expect online access.
2. However, not all resources will be or are available digitally due to format restrictions, alternative presses, or cost. Print still has benefits for some students and assignments.
3. Librarians recommend focusing on learning goals and quality content rather than format, and provide databases, ebooks, and other "good destinations" for student research.Twitter: Helpful or Hassle?

This document outlines a study examining whether academic libraries in the United States are reaching their intended audiences via Twitter. The study will identify US academic libraries with Twitter accounts, survey them about their Twitter use and goals, code the followers of responding libraries to categorize them as students/alumni, faculty/staff, affiliated university entities, libraries/librarians, local businesses, unaffiliated, or unknown. Preliminary results from coding 20 libraries show average percentages of followers in each category. Next steps include more coding, statistical analysis, and writing conclusions and recommendations.Print culture becomes digital culture

Here are a few suggestions for how the MCTC Library can inform faculty about resources:
- Designate library liaisons for each department who can meet regularly with faculty to discuss resources.
- Send regular emails or newsletters highlighting new resources, databases, ebooks, etc. that may be relevant.
- Create research guides for specific courses/subjects that list relevant resources.
- Offer workshops for faculty on how to effectively incorporate library resources into assignments.
- Maintain an updated library website that is easy to navigate and search for resources.
- Provide one-on-one consultations for faculty designing new assignments or courses.
- Attend department meetings periodically to share updates and answer questions.(Form)ative Assessment: Using Google Forms to Evaluate Active Learning

This presentation summarizes the results of an international collaborative project between 100 libraries to benchmark their marketing of electronic resources. The project involved libraries participating in a 16-week timeline to collaboratively plan, execute, and assess a marketing campaign using emails. Survey responses and usage statistics were collected for assessment. Key findings included variation in marketing approaches between different types of institutions and limited conclusions due to low survey response rates. Lessons learned focused on the challenges of large-scale collaboration and suggestions for future research.Why use the Library? Rhetorical Arts

Librarians help students with their research in three main ways:
1) By assisting students in getting started with research and locating expert ideas and evidence from scholars to support academic arguments.
2) By helping students efficiently find information through library resources rather than relying on limited internet searches or Wikipedia.
3) By saving students time through library research guides and services that help locate authoritative sources more easily than searching alone.Taking Active Learning to the Next Level: Increasing Student Engagement by B...

Presentation at Empirical Librarians 2018 in Knoxville, TN.
At UNC Chapel Hill, the User Experience and Assessment department regularly runs usability tests to inform our decision making and prioritize our users perspectives as we make changes. But there are more things to test than there are hours in the day. Our projects have a variety of stakeholders who are very interested in improving their services, and we found ourselves with a long list of tests we wanted to run.
To catch up, we adapted Harvard Libraries Test Fest model: five tests run simultaneously, with five participants rotating through the set of tests. Over a span of two hours, we completed 25 individual usability tests. In this one event, we caught up on much of our testing backlog.
This session will outline how we planned and executed Test Fest and what we learned from using this approach. Well also discuss how we approached analyzing the large amount of qualitative data that was gathered during testing, via affinity diagrams and lots of post-it notes.
The focus of this session is on our methodologies with an aim to include time for attendees to discuss how they would have approached the backlog, setting up Test Fest, and analyzing the data.TSEM Fa 2012 Class1b McArthur

Sanjeet Mann conducted a study measuring the availability of electronic resources at the University of Redlands Armacost Library. He tested 400 citations from 10 databases and found an overall availability of 62% with a 38% error rate. The types of errors were categorized, with the most common being proxy errors, source errors, and knowledge base errors. Mann discussed solutions like updating the proxy, customizing the knowledge base, and simplifying interfaces. He noted strengths in collecting both quantitative and qualitative data but weaknesses in not accounting for user issues. Mann proposed expanding the study to test availability through live student searches and evaluations.Copthall School Feb 2022

This document discusses opening up educational resources through open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as openly accessible, freely available, shareable, discrete learning materials that can be reused and contextualized. Using OER allows educators to find existing high-quality resources rather than reinventing materials. While OER provide advantages like cost savings and encouraging best practices, they also have disadvantages like variable quality and need for contextualization. The document provides examples of OER types and templates for incorporating OER into course design.

This document discusses sharing information literacy resources through communities of practice. It summarizes the results of a survey of over 300 librarians which found that the top barriers to using open educational resources were not knowing where to find them, concerns about quality, and resources not being relevant to the subject area. The top motivations for selecting particular resources were reputation of the creator or institution, relevance, and open licensing. Creating an online community and events were proposed to help librarians overcome barriers and advocate for open sharing of resources.Post-it Up: Qualitative Data Analysis of a Test Fest

The American Library Associations 1982 statement on Diversity in Collection Development reminds librarians of the professional responsibility to select and support the access to materials on all subjects that meet, as closely as possible, the needs, interests, and abilities of all persons in the community the library serves. This includes materials that reflect political, economic, religious, social, minority, and sexual issues. In an effort to ensure that the collection of the William H. Hannon Library (of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA {LMU}) aligns with its institutional vision (including bridging disciplines and representing diverse topics and perspectives) and meets the research needs of a diverse campus population, a team of library staff has designed a project to assess the librarys electronic collection through the lens of diversity. While some similar studies have been done at larger research institutions (notably that of Ciszek and Young (2010)), this project further interrogates inclusivity in database collections and integrates LMU student learning into the research process. The results of the evaluation will inform the library collection strategy and ensure that collections are built that deliberately and positively contribute to an inclusive campus climate.The evolution of the personal networks of novice librarian researchers

Presented at the 2016 Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Libraries conference (London, UK).
This presentation reports the findings of an analysis of personal network data gathered from the novice librarian researcher participants of the first year of the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL), an institute designed to provide instruction in how to conduct a research project and establish a peer-network of like-minded librarians to support each other throughout the research process. Analysis of the first year of data (four waves) will be discussed in this presentation. The data gathered is about the people and the strength of the relationship in the personal research networks of each of the IRDL participants. During the presentation we will report on the observations of the networks over a years time and show you visually how they evolved. The results have implications for how librarians develop themselves, and may influence the future of libraries generally.
A highlight of this presentation is to focus on our methodological decision to gather the four waves of data in survey format. We will describe the mechanism used to gather that data, the freely available, open source, web-based software used to gather personal network data, EgoWeb 2.0. We will describe the process of customizing the survey software to ask questions about the people in the librarians research networks. We will demonstrate the computations that the software provides, as well as the attractive visualizations of the personal networks.

In order to provide the most appropriate library resources to our patrons we need to actively connect with them as people first to learn what their information needs and barriers may be. Developing a systematic approach to seeking out and responding to feedback can provide us with the information we need to acquire eventually well-used resources. A library in which this kind of intentional communication style is prevalent can be called a marketing-aware organization. In this presentation we will discuss all the components of a marketing cycle for electronic resources, with a special focus on the patron. Well discuss how to build a marketing team, ways of knowing your patrons, and hear real-world examples of recent projects that were designed to learn about a user group.

Notes. We put them everywhere, in order records, item records, database records, etc. They tell us how to process something, mark historical decisions, and guide us in our next steps. We would be lost without them, and yet theyre typically unformatted, by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of information.
This session explores the theme of notes from several perspectives as librarians who use different e-resource management systems talk about what kinds of notes they make, where they put them, and what their uses are.Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources (MSU LEETS presentation)

As libraries continue to move more of their resources from print to the electronic format, the difficulty of promoting the use of that content has become apparent. The traditional promotional techniques for print resources, such as putting the new items on a new book shelf near the front door or keeping heavily used items at the reference desk, do not work for resources in an electronic format because there are no physical volumes to view. How, then, do libraries best connect their patrons to appropriate electronic resources? Well be talking about how you can get started right away with developing a marketing plan for electronic resources at your library.

The use of an electronic resource from a social network analysis perspectiveMarie Kennedy

This document discusses using social network analysis to understand how electronic resources are used in an academic setting. It analyzes usage data from the Gimlet system at Loyola Marymount University, which records over 11,000 reference transactions over one year. Social network analysis identified relationships between specific resources mentioned and which ones were not. This approach provides additional context beyond traditional usage metrics like COUNTER, and suggests social network analysis can offer a more complete picture of how resources are used.Developing a Mixed Qualitative and Quantitative Research Design to Inform Lib...

Cycling Through: Paths Libraries Take to Marketing Electronic ResourcesMarie Kennedy

This document summarizes a study of 23 library marketing campaigns for electronic resources from 1994-2009. The study found that few libraries consistently used all components of a marketing plan such as goals, strategies and assessment. While most libraries identified targets and strategies, few conducted SWOT analyses, set budgets or timelines. Only 3 libraries fully matched their goals, strategies, measurements and assessments. The study concludes libraries do not adequately plan or assess their marketing of electronic resources.Recently uploaded (20)
