Vandegrift, Micah, Bolick, Josh
- Abstract/Description

There is a significant and important responsibility as libraries move into the role of publishing to retain our heritage of "access for all." Connecting and collaborating with colleagues in the publishing industry is essential, but should come with the understanding that the library as an organization is access-prone. This article discusses the complexities of navigating that relationship, and calls for libraries and publishers to embrace and respect the position from which we begin. Finally,...

Connecting and collaborating with colleagues in the publishing industry is essential, but should come with the understanding that the library as an organization is access-prone. This article discusses the complexities of navigating that relationship, and calls for libraries and publishers to embrace and respect the position from which we begin. Finally, the article forecasts several possible characteristics of what "publishing" might look like if libraries press the principle of access in this growing area.

Show morePurpose: This paper aims to describe how the Florida State University Libraries used assessment data with other campus partners to gain funding and resources for new initiatives. When general funding sources were threatened, alternative funding sources from these campus partners were used to jump‐start new initiatives designed to enhance student success. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is a case study of how assessment data fueled the creation of a new late‐night peer‐tutoring program at the Florida State University Libraries. The three main data conduits that inspired a new tutoring program were: an ethnographic study of undergraduate students, undergraduate courses with high failure/high enrolment/high drop rates, and an environmental scan of existing campus tutoring. Findings: – Sharing assessment data with key partners can leverage funding and resources for new initiatives. Social implications: In hard budgetary times, opportunities for funding and resources may arise when shared values between campus constituencies are met with assessment data. Libraries need to take a leadership role in gathering and sharing those data with other campus constituents in order to place libraries in a strategic position to receive alternative funding for shared initiatives. Originality/value: Other libraries may use this case as a model, sharing their assessment results with the campus community, especially with those campus constituencies where there is a relationship already in place, to garner further support for piloting innovative services.

Show moreAcquisitions functions remain operationally crucial in providing access to paid information resources, but data formats and workflows utilized within library acquisitions remain primarily within the traditional integrated library system (ILS). As libraries have evolved to use distributed systems to manage information resources, so too must acquisitions functions adapt to an environment that may include the ILS, e‐resource management systems (ERMS), institutional repositories (IR), and other digital asset management systems (DAMS). This presentation is intended to articulate a vision for applying standards‐based practice—as already employed for resource description—to acquisitions functions in a variety of metadata schema and systems. Utilization of standards will be demonstrated in the proposal of a core acquisitions element set that can exist in any system, with proofs of concept including demonstration of the element set within MODS, JSON, and how it may be reflected within the ILS and ERMS. Building on these proofs of concept in recording interoperable acquisitions data will be an explanation of possible applications, including an exploration of more robust support for semantic web technologies. In particular, this presentation will explore how this element set could utilize published linked datasets, such as the North Carolina State University Organization Name Linked Data and Global Open Knowledgebase (GOKb) linked data service, to provide more accurate and efficient identity management.

After seeing the reduction of controlled subject access points, FSU’s Digital Library Center developed a python script using direct matches between the submitted keywords and subject headings in LC’s linked data service to add subject elements to MODS records. Safely in post-migration, FSU Libraries can retroactively and automatically provide controlled subject access and linked data URIs to IR materials and integrate the script into the submission workflow for improved access to future materials.

Show moreIn today's economic environment, there are pressures to fundraise throughout all of the academic units at colleges and universities, including libraries. Unfortunately, however, there is no natural constituency for the academic library. While the library may have been instrumental in their successful academic career, alumni more often than not, feel no loyalty to it, as they might to their department, school, college, or even sports team. The school library, which may have served as the important cog in their academic success, is taken for granted in its apparent supporting role.
Until recently, solidifying a donor base was of little consequence to the academic library; college and university libraries got by with minimal fundraising, often assisted by friends groups that provide financial support via annual membership fees and occasional fundraising events. College and university libraries friends groups are frequently made up of current and retired faculty and librarians, who understand the important role of the campus library. The trick for academic libraries in the current economy is to bring in new life and new blood in support of the library.
A key to this concept is to connect the interests of potential donors with the goals and objectives of the library. Current and retired faculty and library staff understand the importance of the library and its mission; but how can the library communicate its mission in a way that attracts alumni and other community supporters?

Situating this autobiographical self-study in the context of the broader global and scholarly context, we use Bullough and Pinnegar’s (2001) setting-convocation-resolution approach to present our stories as points of departure for reflection, conversation, research, and action. We do so to raise awareness and enhance understanding of the complex and rapidly evolving legal, ethical, and practical issues surrounding public accessibility to scholarship. We also issue a call to action by outlining concrete, stakeholder-specific steps that would help OA become the new default for publication of education research.

Show moreIn November 2012, the educational provisions of the Copyright Modernization Act were proclaimed in force, thereby introducing a number of significant changes to the Canadian Copyright Act. These changes include the expansion of fair dealing to include the purpose of education, the addition of new educational exceptions for the online transmission of lessons and the use of work freely available through the internet, and a number of amendments that make existing educational exceptions more technologically accommodating. This paper considers the significance of these changes for post-secondary instructors, first contextualizing the changes in relation to recent fair dealing jurisprudence, and then considering their significance for everyday instructional practice. Drawing on influential court decisions and the commentary of academics and lawyers, the paper not only describes how the changes to the Copyright Act have expanded the rights and exceptions available to instructors, but also identifies a number of unresolved questions about how the changes should be applied in practice. Despite these areas of uncertainty, the paper concludes that the changes bode well for post-secondary instructors, as they relax many long-standing restrictions around the use of copyrighted works for educational purposes.

Scientific research from quantum mechanics, biological science, and oceanography research disciplines will be used as digital collection development and preservation models for education and outreach strategies for engaging disciplinary research communities at FSU. The project will explore the use of standards-based description and the ingest, access, data management, and preservation functional entities of the open archival information system (OAIS) reference model as they relate to digital collection development and preservation of early works on quantum mechanics by Paul A.M. Dirac such as his 1926 hand-writing dissertation and other keen insights from primary source materials on quantum mechanics, biological science images of biological silica, and oceanography technical reports. Select materials from these research disciplines will be digitized, cataloged, and made available online via libraries public access catalog (OPAC), OCLC WorldCat, and DigiTool institutional repository (IR) along with being preserved via the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) and/or MetaArchive. The poster will reference Purdue's work on digital curation profile development for research discipline-specific communities and propose a theory of metatriangulation that maps the Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) CCSDS 650.0-P-1.1 (Pink Book) Issue 1.1 August 2009, The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model, and Boyers Model of Scholarship in the development of a digital preservation management policy strategy for interdisciplinary consideration and research community engagement. The poster will exhibit FSU Libraries' local collaboration with the Department of Biological Science, Department of Oceanography, Special Collections and Dirac Science Library; regional collaboration with Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA); and national/international collaboration with MetaArchive Cooperative for data management and/or preservation.

Show moreQuality control of bibliographic data is essential in assuring ETDs are both discoverable and accurately described. This poster session outlines semi-automated methods for achieving accurate transcription of bibliographic data in theses and dissertations for both digital repository and catalog records. Earlier methods involved digital repository staff manually inputting bibliographic data then cataloging staff copying that data from the digital repository website into a MARC template along with additional information from the PDF. With the new workflow, manual transcription of bibliographic information found in the PDF is replaced with automated extraction of the PDF data. The extracted PDF data and the ProQuest metadata are used as common source data for XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) programs to generate metadata for both the digital repository (Bepress) and the catalog (MARC21XML). Common modular XSLT programs are included in both transformations, and common XML reference tables provide an index of shared data values. The advantage of this new method is that it combines the quality control of transcription taken directly from the PDF with the time efficiency of automated repurposing of ProQuest metadata. By using common data sources, transformations, and reference tables, the metadata is accurate and consistent for both the digital repository and the catalog. And since staff time is greatly reduced, the ETDs are made available to patrons more quickly.

Show moreThis chapter will examine the ethical role of librarians and academics in using, teaching, and promoting digital tools and emerging technologies in light of our professional values and offer guidance in moving forward without foregoing opportunities for innovation. Deeply reflecting on these technologies should become part of our philosophy and the philosophy that we impart upon our communities. Information professionals’ core value of social responsibility will be the focus of this examination. Initially, a number of emerging trends will be examined to demonstrate the changing landscape in academic libraries. An analysis of online technologies’ effect on the social realm with emphasis on social responsibility will follow. I will then discuss personal information management concerns when using digital tools in the context of social responsibility with a focus on privacy in educational technology and academic libraries as well as the privacy paradox. I will recommend new roles for academic librarians to challenge these ethical dilemmas and uphold the core values of our profession. Case studies will be reviewed and practical applications will be suggested. The advancement of digital literacy and the integration of reflection in our professional practices emerge as key roles of information professionals as a result of this cultural shift.

Show moreThis is a report of an action-research project undertaken in tandem with the development of a new freshman seminar in criminology and criminal justice. In the freshman seminar the goal is to teach the research, critical thinking and writing skills that are the underpinnings of scholarship and good citizenship. Utilizing a unique approach, this class focuses on resources available through the University library and is taught by a professor, two librarians and a graduate teaching assistant. We hypothesize that freshmen who experience this seminar will show improvement in critical thinking skills, and that this will contribute to greater levels of academic success. This report describes the educational innovation (seminar) in sufficient detail to make replication possible, and presents preliminary findings that indicate the seminar enhances research and writing skills, fosters ability to think critically, and has a positive influence on students’ academic careers.

Show morePreservice teachers enrolled in the first portion of an undergraduate education program at the Florida State University were assigned to develop case studies based on their experience working in local elementary schools. The case studies were to include research from the scholarly literature of the field using a rubric developed by the instructor for evaluating sources. After inadequate results were recorded from the initial semester's projects, the course instructor paired with a liaison librarian to provide a workshop to improve the use of scholarly resources in the following semester's class. This article reports on a citation analysis of student bibliographies from the two classes, finding that the number of scholarly resources cited increased significantly when the librarian's presentation accompanied the use of the instructor's rubric. The results affirm earlier research that a combination of library instruction and clear faculty-established guidelines and requirements for the use of scholarly resources results in increased quality of student research.

Show moreIn this study, researchers sought to capture students’ authentic experience of finding books in the main library using a GoPro camera and the think-aloud protocol. The GoPro provided a first-person perspective and was an effective ethnographic tool for observing a student's individual experience, while also demonstrating what tools they use to find items. Using the think-aloud protocol, observers could hear students express their internal decisions, thoughts, and feelings about the process. Results confirmed trouble spots in the building and that directories are not typically used and need updating. GoPro footage revealed that there are certain qualities of the help-desk experience that can make a search more or less successful. No major sex differences were found in preference of wayfinding tools and behaviors, except that males appear to have used directories marginally more than females. In a debriefing survey, students still affirmed human help and online maps as the most useful wayfinding tools and advocated for better signage. Mapping of behaviors by floor also validated GoPro observations. At low cost to the library, the GoPro/think-aloud combination along with survey and mapping methodologies affirmed trouble spots in the building and provided suggestions for wayfinding improvements to library administration.

Show more"Going green," or becoming more environmentally conscious, has become a mounting international concern in recent decades. The increasing global consumption of finite resources has led to large-scale societal campaigns to heighten awareness about environmental issues and concerns. With interest in environmental sustainability on the rise, libraries are increasingly deciding to undertake their own green initiatives. And why not? Libraries that embrace greener practices reinforce "their roles as community/cultural centers that significantly and positively impact the quality of life of those they serve" (Mulford & Himmel, 2010). Additionally, green library initiatives are a wonderful means of building community partnerships, demonstrating effective leadership, and enhancing the library's public profile (Brodie, 2012). So what exactly does it mean to be a "green library"? The designation is difficult to define, but, generally speaking, libraries that implement green practices are committed to pursuing innovation, to minimizing waste, and, where possible, to adopting and promoting environmentally sound processes throughout their organizations (Schaper, 2010). While these aspirations are admirable, it is easy to lose sight of them, especially in times of widespread economic hardship and dwindling library budgets. In light of these difficulties, the challenge of optimizing library facilities, operations, and collections can seem overwhelming, and the potential costs can be intimidating. Contrary to these impressions, libraries can work toward a more sustainable future through relatively simple, inexpensive measures, and many changes can actually save money in the long term. This article outlines a variety of practical strategies for implementing greener practices within the context of budget limitations. Most of these strategies can be employed at minimal cost, and, taken together, they can serve as a powerful catalyst for change. Where there is a will, there is always a way, and getting creative is often the most effective way to stay within budget parameters!

Show moreThis poster discusses the planning and implementation of research data management services at Florida State University Libraries. We are taking a novel approach to providing research data management services by implementing a team-based model, leveraging existing skillsets and minimizing the risk of developing a new service. Part of a larger initiative in digital scholarship, the data research librarian and digital scholarship coordinator work together in coordinating data management services. The support of the program comes from a team of subject librarians, graduate assistants and staff, especially within the STEM areas, who participate in consultations and data management plan research and writing. Collaboration to this degree is not without its pain points, but we’ve optimized workflows by using tools like DMPTool, Trello and Slack. We will demonstrate how these tools streamline data management service delivery as well as enhance communication and collaboration.
