Editor's Notes
- #2 Background who I am This session will provide an overview of the current state of library resource access at the University of Florida. This will include examining the challenges of providing a robust and low barrier experience for both off-campus and on-campus users. Additionally, this session explore how campus-wide identity management efforts are influencing the approaches being used by the library in providing access to electronic resources.
- #3 This was my first home computer. A Commodore 64.
- #4 One of the first programs we got for the Commodore 64 was called PaperClip. It was actually fairly advanced for 1984 when it came out. There is something interesting in this picture of the software bundle. Can anyone point it out? Yes, the 5 ¼ inch disk. But the interesting thing is the little dongle.
- #6 This is a 240 CD rom case that we used to access ProQuest / UMI articles. What you did was search an index of articles, not the full-text. When you found an article you liked, you hit print. It would locate the article located on one of the CD’s and then send it to the printer. At this point you were able to read the article.
- #10 Making our collections accessible People connections of points Preeminent collections – DLOC and Cuba, multilingual.
- #11 In additional to our digital and electronic collections. We are proud that we are creating spaces that students, faculty, staff, and the community want to physically come to. These comfortable, flexible spaces welcomed 3.41 million visitors last year. We have two locations that are open 24 hours a day and it is not uncommon for there to be hundreds of students there when we have gone to sleep. Talk about UF Library IT staff information
- #12 The complexity of Managing 827 databases, from multiple publishers and vendors Low barrier to access Make materials as accessible as possible.
- #14 Has/is working Respond to access issues in timely fashion Respond to vendor issues when identified
- #15 Because of excessive use violations. Continual access to resources We want to and work hard to be in compliance with the vendors terms and conditions. Situations arise What’s causing these excessive use violations?
- #16 University login accounts. Phishing of email accounts. Anyone can
- #17 - Even if credential stolen, access potential – forces two factor.
- #19 Working with them for ORCID integration.
- #20 Arc from CD rom access to today. Now in a phase where the complexity has increased. Pioneering ways to address this in any meaningful way that accounts for our library privacy concerns, but also integrates with our campus IT systems and our vendors. We have the leadership and expertise to address this problem, but without us working together it will take longer than it can. Ask you what, I ask my staff on a daily basis, what can we do to provide leadership in this area.
