Exploration of the value of altmetrics to Art
and Design research

The document discusses the need to train modern academic librarians in scholarly communication skills. It notes that scholarly communication is a fast-moving area and these skills are not always taught in library school. The Office of Scholarly Communication at Cambridge University Library provides continuous training to library staff on topics like open access, research data management, and more. Training methods include lectures, workshops, and mentoring to help librarians understand terminology and support researchers. The challenges to training include lack of understanding of librarians' roles, time constraints, and resistance to change.

Pullinger - Changing the focus of induction to improve the student experience.

IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)

The University of Leeds library changed their focus for student inductions from providing passive, out-of-context information to promoting the library's support and opportunities. They introduced an online Library Guide and quiz to cover practical information. This allowed face-to-face time to focus on resources, study spaces, and developing skills to boost employability. Student feedback on this promotional approach will be discussed, and participants will consider benefits for their own students.

CILIP

The document discusses Cambridge University Libraries' response to copyright issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes setting up a temporary scanning service to ensure access to collections while buildings were closed. Key challenges included staffing the new service under stressful conditions, managing expectations, and training library staff across different departments on the new copyright workflows and policies. Going forward, the libraries are considering whether to make the scanning service permanent and addressing issues like software, data retention, and costs for alumni access.

Subject Librarian Initiative at the University of Central Florida Libraries: ...

Charleston Conference

The University of Central Florida Libraries implemented a new subject librarian model to move from a reactive to a proactive approach. The subject librarians are now more mobile and actively meet with faculty in their offices rather than waiting for faculty to visit the library. They assist faculty with collection development, scholarly communication, and serving as champions for open access. The subject librarians receive training from the head of collection development to help measure the success of the new model and meet future goals.

Managing key relationships: the Library and the academic world

Roxanne Missingham

The document discusses the role of university libraries in supporting academic research and knowledge sharing. It notes that libraries are well-positioned as "intermediaries" that can help disseminate research outputs more widely. The document also summarizes a study which found that industry stakeholders have an unmet need for easier access and validation of research data. It concludes that libraries are uniquely placed to help address current gaps like improving the discoverability, contextualization, and impact tracking of university research.

Collections and budgets: libraries and publishers and collaboration

Roxanne Missingham

This document discusses several studies on the roles and perceptions of academic libraries. Some key findings from the studies include: - Academics value libraries' role in purchasing resources and see this as very important, especially for humanists. - Few academics think students have strong research skills, but there is little agreement on whose role it is to develop these skills. - Academics prefer using their library's website, databases, or public search engines over visiting the physical library building. - Academics select journals to publish in based on characteristics like coverage, readership, and impact factor. Disciplines vary in embracing digital research methods.

Recruiting College Librarians (American Library Association Emerging Leaders ...

Julie Judkins

This document outlines a project to develop recruitment tools for college librarianship. It describes surveys of current library students/recent graduates and college librarians to understand perceptions of college librarianship and identify new librarians' interests. The project will then create recruitment materials like an elevator pitch, brochures, and video profiles to help college librarians recruit new professionals by highlighting the benefits and realities of the career. Key findings from over 200 survey responses found most students are open to college librarianship but some prefer other areas, while college librarians reported varied duties and high job satisfaction in a changing field.

The benefits of eBooks

Ksenija Mincic Obradovic

This document discusses the benefits of eBooks from three perspectives: libraries, researchers, and teachers. For libraries, eBooks save physical space by living longer than print books. Researchers benefit from the availability and flexibility of eBooks, which allow full-text searches and can be accessed anytime, anywhere. EBooks are also a powerful teaching tool by providing interactive features like calculators, videos, and animations within a multidimensional learning environment. Looking ahead, the use of eBooks is expected to further integrate with literacy and learning through new online and mobile technologies.

Academic and student experience with reading lists

Talis

This document discusses the experiences of four universities - Manchester Metropolitan University, University of West London, University of Queensland, and Deakin University - in implementing the Talis reading list tool. It provides positive feedback from academics and students who found the reading lists easy to use and helpful in accessing required resources. Some challenges mentioned were materials not being included on lists or links not working. Overall, the universities saw benefits to students from having consolidated, electronically accessible reading lists.

Living and Learning with the Library: Outreach to Campus Learning Communities

Lynda Kellam

The document discusses outreach efforts by the University Libraries at UNC Greensboro to support campus learning communities. It provides an overview of UNC Greensboro as a research university with over 17,500 students. It then outlines the university's strategic plan goal of implementing first-year learning communities for all first-time undergraduates. Examples of current learning communities are described, including their connections to library services. Opportunities for future expansion and best practices around scalability, collaboration, and innovation are discussed.
