Presented by Amy Baptist, Southeastern
The ILL Department in Southeastern Louisiana University's library first began dabbling in article delivery in the fall of 2012. Initially the service was offered on a limited basis as it was reserved for students enrolled in distance-education programs (primarily through the Nursing Department). However over the last 3 years the service has grown and expanded, and now Document Delivery is available to all of our library's users. This presentation will discuss how the Document Delivery service was implemented into ILL, and how the department's policies and workflows have changed as a result. Additionally it will illustrate how ILLiad's Document Delivery module is utilized to process these article requests. Questions and discussion will be encouraged throughout the session.
Plagiarism is Good: Moving from Access to Use as Metrics for OCW/OER Use and ...Brandon Muramatsu
OCWs—and OERs more generally—are challenged to demonstrate use and reuse. Current usage analysis appears to be focused primarily on a number of simple web metrics such as accesses/hits, unique and returning visitors, and time spent on site. While these are worthwhile metrics of exposure, they are not sufficient metrics of use. We suggest that there are alternate, relatively easy to implement metrics that better indicate the use and reuse of OCWs and OERs. Presented by Brandon Muramatsu at the Open Education 2010 Conference, Barcelona, Spain, November 3, 2010.

El documento describe los desafíos que enfrenta una escuela en un barrio conflictivo de Sevilla. La escuela sufre de absentismo, delincuencia y falta de implicación de los padres. Además, las instalaciones son pobres y no hay espacio para deportes. La directora propone un plan para mejorar la educación en valores, adecuar la enseñanza a cada estudiante, fomentar el trabajo en grupo del profesorado y reducir el absentismo con la ayuda de todos.
Una familia numerosa en una zona rural criaba varios animales y aves para venderlos y obtener dinero. Entre las aves había un gallo nuevo que atacaba a cualquier niño que veía. Un domingo, el gallo correteó y picoteó a un niño pequeño que se había acercado a la casa, hasta que los dueños lo mataron. Esa noche, toda la familia celebró con una gran cena saboreando la carne del gallo.
Una niña pequeña siempre ayudaba con las tareas de la casa sin quejarse, como lavar los platos. Le gustaba hacerlo pero el mueble donde guardaba los platos limpios era muy alto para ella. Su tío, que era carpintero, notó este problema y rápidamente construyó un banco para que la niña pudiera alcanzar fácilmente a guardar los platos sin problemas.

The Cat Who Sat Down At The Reference DeskDavid Newyear
Governor Strickland proposed budget cuts that would reduce state funding for public libraries by 50%. This would force many libraries to close branches or reduce services. In response, Mentor Public Library installed self-checkout stations and began testing a chatbot named Emma in 2009 to help answer questions and make up for the budget shortfall. Emma was a success, with her correct response rate for library questions increasing from 12% to 90%. She helped reduce the burden on staff from routine questions.

Moodling Forward: Resourcing InnovationAlan Arnold
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for educational technology innovation. It summarizes predictions from the Horizon Report about emerging technologies like electronic books, mobile devices, augmented reality, and open content. It also highlights examples of integrating these technologies into online learning platforms like Moodle. Key questions are raised about balancing benefits, stakeholders, and resourcing innovation through tools versus investing in people. The overall message is that investing in educators should be the top priority to help achieve aspirations of supporting active, collaborative, and critical learning.
The document provides instructions for hiring writers on the HelpWriting.net site. It outlines a 5-step process: 1) Create an account with an email and password. 2) Complete a order form with instructions, sources, and deadline. 3) Review bids from writers and choose one based on qualifications. 4) Review the completed paper and authorize payment. 5) Request revisions until satisfied with the work. The goal is to provide original, high-quality content and refunds for plagiarized work.
This document summarizes the Library Impact Data Project, which aimed to show correlations between library usage data (books borrowed, e-resources accessed) and student attainment across multiple universities. Phase 1 found statistical significance between library usage and grades. Phase 2 added more student data points and found further correlations with demographics. The project aims to create a shared analytics service to allow libraries to analyze usage and benchmark against peers. Key areas for the next phase include developing an intuitive dashboard, addressing ethical issues around profiling individuals, and integrating additional data sources.
The document discusses the growth of online learning and its potential to disrupt traditional education models. It provides statistics showing large yearly increases in online course enrollment in higher education and K-12. While online learning is currently meeting the needs of "non-consumers", the document suggests it may soon compete for all students as quality and affordability improve. Standards for high-quality online courses are outlined to help educators evaluate options.
JAXLondon 2015 "Thinking Fast and Slow with Software Development"Daniel Bryant
In the international bestseller ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’, Daniel Kahneman explains how we as human beings think and reason, and perhaps surprisingly how our thought processes are often fundamentally flawed and biased. This talk explores the ideas presented in the book in the context of professional software development. As software developers we all like to think that we are highly logical, and make only rational choices, but after reading the book I’m not so sure. Here I’ll share my thinking on thinking, and provide guidance, processes and models to help overcome some of the identified limitations of our decision-making abilities.
Topics that will be discussed include; the ‘Availability Heuristic’, which can lead developers to choose the ‘latest and greatest’ technology without proper evaluation; ‘Optimistic Bias’, which can blind architects from the ‘unknown unknowns’ within a project; and more!
Alumni Card Sort Debrief Final Minus AppendixAngela Boodoo

Navigating Reclassifying from Dewey to LC: Reclass RehashLOUIS Libraries
Presented by Michael Arseneau, John Bourgeois, and William Charron, Nicholls State University
In November 2011, Ellender Memorial Library at Nicholls State University began reclassifying its stack collection from Dewey Decimal to Library of Congress. This presentation examines the intervening years' progress from technological, cataloging, and circulation perspectives, with an emphasis on how those viewpoints changed with personnel and resources. As capacity increased in Technical Services, how did Access Services respond? What preliminary legwork had to be completed? What logistics demanded discussion to preserve patron satisfaction while undergoing this massive project? How was the reclassification originally envisioned; what were unexpected issues? How did the different units respond?
This presentation will address these questions and generate dialogue about how other universities have undertaken this project. Through dissecting our own process, we can receive input as to pitfalls and guidance as we go forward.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Document delivery in SLU’s ILL department
Motivations for increasing our document delivery services:
In the last 3 years Lending stats have been decreasing.
Document delivery increases our Department’s statistics and decreases our number of cancellations
Going through the process of identifying Document Delivery titles in the Copyright Clearance queue
decreases our tendency to request articles Sims owns. When this happens often enough we are at risk
for paying CCC fees on materials we already have in print or electronic format.
Student workers are a resource that our library still retains. Using student worker labor for copying &
scanning is a service the Library can provide in these lean times.

What I’d like to do this morning is talk about our experience with starting a Document Delivery service. And hopefully find out how other libraries are doing it. Would love for this to be an informal “rap session” and encourage y’alls input and questions as I go along.
Haven’t been able to figure out a way to get started, without rewinding a little bit and laying out some background information. “Here’s our story”….
For anyone not already familiar with Southeastern, we are a medium (ish) sized university in Hammond. Our main library is Sims Memorial.
Our Interlibrary Loan department is a unit under the Access Services Department – which also includes Circulation, Reserves, and Media. Angela began her position as Head of Access Services in January 2012.
As I’m sure it probably was with most of you, our University began dealing with state mandated budget cuts in 2009. When a staff member or librarian retired (or left for another job) more often than not they could not be replaced. Then in 2013 steeper cuts came, and 3 filled positions were eliminated from SLU’s library. Our library underwent a reorganization.
Since 2007 I had been a Cataloging Librarian. In September 2013 I became an Access Services librarian. In Access Services I am the LOUIS System Administrator, and I coordinate Borrowing in Interlibrary Loan.
Our ILL Department is currently made up of an ILL supervisor, 2 student workers, and me.
Angela and I are relatively new to ILL. Sometimes we are figuring things out as we go along (see this service as a work in progress). So this presentation is Not meant to be describing Best Practices in Document Delivery, by all means.
Would be happy for this talk to be more of a mini share session, so we can all hear what other LOUIS libraries are doing in ILL & document delivery. Meagan is here, she is the head of Interlibrary Loan at LSU and she is going to chime in on their experience with setting up a Document Delivery service. Informal!
In Summer of 2012 (a year before the Library re-organized) the Nursing article retrieval service was moved into our ILL Dept. It had been a faxed-based service coordinated through the Nursing Library. Baton Rouge For Nursing faculty and students
Under Angela’s guidance policies and workflows were changed and ILL began filling requests for print articles held in the main library or in the Baton Rouge nursing library. This service was available for faculty & students in Distance programs (primarily Nursing). They used the Borrowing module in ILLiad to process and deliver these requests, using our own OCLC symbol in place of the lending library.
Model our ILL Dept followed previously. Our reasons for changing that model. Not easily accepted by other members of our ILL Dept
This is where I can ask Megan about getting it started at LSU, motivating reasons, experiences with.
Or just use this as a visual placeholder while I talk about stuff not on slides
If we do not find access to a PDF, we check our library catalog to see if we own it in print.
Search the library catalog by clicking on the Z39.50 tab. Then click on magnifying class by journal title to run the search.
If you get a hit click on Record Detail tab to see holdings.
Look at these fields near the bottom to see if library has the issue requested. In this example we see that we do have this issue and it is shelved in Current Serials.
Now return to the Searching tab and click twice on correct location
The call number and location pop into the request under Item Information.
Now you are ready to route the request into the Document Delivery module.
This moves the request out of the CCC queue without a usage tally being added to the journal title.
Now go back to the Main tab screen, and click on the Document Delivery tab to open it. And open your request which is now in the Awaiting Document Delivery Processing queue.
Now click on the Printing tab and then the Print request button
This will open the form with all of the info the student workers need to find the journal and article. The customer info appears on the form, but we delete that before it is printed.
Print out the form. Just like a printed Lending request, the student workers use this to page the material.
Now route the request to the Awaiting DD Stacks Searching queue.
The next step is for student workers to page and photocopy the article.
When photocopy is done and ready to scan click on the Mark Found Scan Now button.
Scanned pages load. Check clarity /legibility and then…
Click Odyssey button to send
Just as with articles filled through Borrowing, scanned document is uploaded to server, and patron is notified with an email.
This request is now complete.
Do y’all have any comments or questions about the procedure we use?
Maybe Megan will want to give input here on any differences in LSU’s procedure…..?
Another part of Document Delivery services is the decision to fill or cancel articles that are available electronically through the library’s electronic resources. In fall of 2014 I began filling these requests by uploading the PDFs. Up until that time the policy was to cancel them and in cancellation notice provide the patron with a link to the title in the corresponding library database.
How do other libraries handle these faux borrowing requests?
Had wanted to include the steps we use to deliver these thru the Doc Del module but I ran out of time
That wraps up my description of the document delivery services our ILL Department currently provides. Is there anything someone else would like to add? Any other comments or questions?
I did look at some articles on this topic.
I didn’t end up using them in this presentation, but thought I would list them in a “for further study” way.
