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.

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 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 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 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.

In 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?

Title: Changing the Default to Support Open Access to Education Research.
Creator: Roehrig, Alysia D., Soper, Devin, Cox, Bradley E., Colvin, Gloria P.
Abstract/Description: This essay explores factors underlying the underutilization of Open Access (OA) to make education research literature freely available online, where it can benefit a global audience of researchers, students, teachers, and policymakers. 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,...
Show moreThis essay explores factors underlying the underutilization of Open Access (OA) to make education research literature freely available online, where it can benefit a global audience of researchers, students, teachers, and policymakers. 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 moreAs efforts to advance open access (OA) and develop scholarly communication programs become increasingly pervasive in academic libraries, there is a pressing need for scholarship on the diverse ways that librarians are responding to this trend and the practical issues and challenges they encounter in implementing related programs and services. This volume is the tenth in the series Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library, and the second of two volumes that address the topic of OA in academic libraries. In contrast to the preceding volume - which focuses on OA advocacy, related political and policy concerns, and requisite technical infrastructure - this volume takes a close look at core and emerging themes and issues that arise in the practice of scholarly communication professionals.

Show moreInternational Open Access Week is an annual occasion for the international research and academic communities to learn about the benefits and opportunities of open access, the goal of which is to "...inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research." Open Access Week 2013 occurred in the last full week of October, the 21st through 27th. This was the sixth year that Open Access Week was celebrated, and the fourth year it was observed at Florida State University. This year's theme for Open Access Week was "Redefining Impact." As open access is generally heralded by librarians, events and initiatives around that topic are hosted by Florida State University Libraries. Following the lead of other universities that hosted Open Access Week events, the 2010 and 2011 programs included lectures, panels and discussions. While the programs were generally well-regarded and in line with current events and interesting topics, they were largely attended by open access advocates and librarians. As the goals of FSU's open access program became clearer, the decision was made that lectures and panels hosted in the library were not achieving the desired effect of raising campus-wide awareness about open access. The 2012 initiative for Open Access Week took the form of an information campaign, including eight posters, informational brochures, and staff time spent at an information table in the main floor of the library. While unable to measure effectiveness by numbers of attendees, it became apparent that the level of knowledge about open access is increasing as outreach takes new flavors.

Title: Organizational Socialization Of Academic Librarians In The United States.
Creator: Lee, Jongwook, Oh, Sanghee, Burnett, Gary
Abstract/Description: This study aims to investigate academic librarians' organizational socialization. Successful socialization can increase librarians' commitments to and retention in the libraries, which may enhance the quality of information services to library patrons. In addition to collecting demographic information, we measured the organizational socialization of 314 academic librarians using Chao, O'Leary-Kelly, Wolf, Klein, and Gardner's (1994) content framework.

Show moreThis study aims to investigate academic librarians' organizational socialization. Successful socialization can increase librarians' commitments to and retention in the libraries, which may enhance the quality of information services to library patrons. In addition to collecting demographic information, we measured the organizational socialization of 314 academic librarians using Chao, O'Leary-Kelly, Wolf, Klein, and Gardner's (1994) content framework. Study participants possessed high levels of socialization in their libraries overall. They were well socialized in Politics, followed by Performance Proficiency (task/skills), and Language; however, their socialization in Organizational goals/values, History, and People were relatively low, suggesting that there is room for improvement. Other key findings are: (1) male participants had lower levels of socialization in the People dimension than did females; (2) participants who were tenured had higher levels of socialization than did those who had not yet achieved tenure; (3) participants who had informal mentoring experiences had higher levels of socialization overall compared to those who had not received any mentoring; and (4) participants' socialization was associated negatively with the number of employees in their libraries and with the highest degree offered by their institutions. The study findings can be used to understand the learning and adjustment process of academic librarians in the United States, predict their retention and job satisfaction, and develop and improve library training or orientation programs.

Show moreP 3 D - Publishing, Publicizing, & Preserving Diatomscapes Faculty institutional repositories (IR) participation contribution is successful when "What's in it for me?" is effectively conveyed to faculty while emphasizing minimal faculty IR participation overhead & time investment. A Florida State University Biological Scientist was asked if he would be willing to allow the digital library to assist with the development of an online digital collection, print large posters of his research images for display in various campus buildings, hold a library exhibition to publicize his research and interface with students & library patrons, explore biological science metadata standards for his 6,000 images, attach technical specification metadata with online images & basic metadata, and work towards preserving his research data starting with his Diatomscapes collection as a prototype. Diatomscapes consists of a series of 18 diatoms and 1 Radiolarian microscopic organisms developed by Florida State University Biological Scientist, Dr. A.K.S.K. Prasad. Current digital initiatives efforts are underway to build an online digital collection, publicize the images via poster session exhibition in the library, publish Diatomscapes in an IR, preserve via Dark Archives in the Sunshine State (DAITSS) and/or LOCKSS via MetaArchive, and provide open access to the Diatomscapes digital collection. There are plans to build Diatomscapes digital collection in Picasa and Flickr and link from IR, OPAC & Facebook protected by a Creative Commons License contingent on faculty approval. This digital initiative has sparked interests in other FSU biological scientists which will influence future faculty IR participation contribution across disciplines.

Show moreEveryday students are sent to a Special Collections because they need to find "old" materials or this is where "all" the primary sources are housed. When discussing their research needs, you discover they don't have any real clue what a primary source is, nor do they actually understand how to find primary sources, or how primary sources are different from secondary sources for their research. By combing methods of a hands on approach (finding, describing and the interpretation of a primary source), with search strategies for online primary source materials and identifying more sources using a "lead" research method – using bibliographies and subject encyclopedias to identify more sources – I guide individuals and classes through the rich array of research materials in our library and beyond and that primary sources are not just kept in a Special Collections, but where, what they are and how to use them.
