Bridging the gap: providing a marketing and support framework for IR ServicesNASIG
Presenters:
Jeffrey M. Mortimore, Georgia Southern University
Debra G. Skinner, Georgia Southern University
Institutional Repositories require continuous promotion and support to attract and retain campus collections. However, balancing promotion with a clear representation of repository offerings, policies, and procedures is challenging, especially for institutions that rely on public services personnel for front-line promotion. This poster presents Georgia Southern University's recently-developed IR Services LibGuide as a model for providing such a framework (http://georgiasouthern.libguides.com/irservices/). This portal provides 1) a front-line promotional tool; 2) a client-management tool for support consultations; and 3) a storehouse for repository-related forms and licenses. It further integrates with the library's other scholarly communications-related guides, providing seamless representation of these services to patrons.
Teaching Promoting Govt. Information via Libguides and BlackboardChella Vaidyanathan
Various options such as Flickr, blogs, wikis, LibGuides, Blackboard,YouTube, etc. are available to teach and publicize government information services. In this presentation, I will demonstrate how to teach and promote government information via LibGuides and Blackboard systems. It is easy to create user-friendly course and subject guides using these two systems. With the availability of web 2.0 technologies, we can integrate video clips, RSS Feeds, and images to make our guides interesting. Now is the time to "jazz it up" and reveal the hidden treasures to our user community.
Topics to be discussed and information to be shared during the meeting of the Library Representatives to the Missouri State University Libraries, held on Thursday, August 14, 2014.

Abstract:
Fake news presents real problems. While misinformation has always existed, the internet and social media have allowed it to proliferate and wield unprecedented influence on public opinion and discourse. In the United States, fake news helped to determine the 2016 presidential election and it continues to inform national and state policies in harmful, counterproductive ways. Information professionals, and particularly librarians, are seizing this moment to demonstrate the power of their expertise by formulating new tools that can help the public navigate the so-called ‘post-truth world’. These tools capitalize on librarians’ command of information literacy and promote a skills-based approach that is not only essential to the foundations of research but vital for the very well-being of democracy. The presenters will discuss the different tools that librarians and other information professionals are creating such as research guides, videos, infographics, apps, and other types of media; evaluate the challenges and limitations of existing tools and approaches; and consider future implications and actions for librarians.
ACRL/NY 2013 poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web ...Anna Perricci
Presented by: Anna Perricci, Web Archiving Project Librarian, and Pamela Graham, Director, Center for Human Rights Documentation & Research at Columbia University Libraries / Information Services
Event: ACRL / NY December 6, 2013
Poster: Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (plus some information about web archiving collaborations)
http://hrwa.cul.columbia.edu/
Web archiving encompasses several challenges that we face in the midst of the radical changes that are the focus of the ACRL-NY 2013 Symposium. Like many other interdisciplinary, wide-ranging and highly networked fields, human rights scholarship relies extensively on web-based information, but much of this content is at risk of disappearing within a relatively short time.
To meet the needs of the scholarly community, the Human Rights Web Archive @ Columbia University (HRWA) was created. The HRWA is a searchable collection of archived copies of human rights websites created by non-governmental organizations, national human rights institutions, tribunals and individuals.
In this poster we will detail our early progress in the assessment of the effectiveness of the HRWA through user testing and a review of scholarly publishing in journals focusing on human rights research. We will also discuss how keeping users actively engaged is at the core of our evolving collecting policy for web archives. In sharing our experiences with a collection development policy centered in an active and agile feedback loop, we hope to shed light on strengths and opportunities for growth including via collaborative initiatives.

This project, called Made at the Library, will support two municipal Brazilian libraries in a concerted effort to increase engagement with and use of open government services, resources, and datasets. The project will use a community-centered design methodology and will develop new collaborations, resources, and technology tools over the two years of the grant.

A new experience model for the smart home and consumer IoT [Endeavour Partners]Nalani Genser
We have been hearing about the emergence of consumer IoT for decades. Yet, while many pieces of the underlying technology have been available for many years (or longer), consumer Internet of Things (IoT) experiences have yet to make their way into the average consumer’s daily life. Today, challenges exist in delivering compelling use cases, user journeys, and user experiences that deliver meaningful value propositions that encourage adoption. This poses a number of questions: What shifts need to occur to (re)position the industry for true mass market adoption? What are the elements that the industry has been stuck on that might be holding it back? Might there be a change in where the value is created for consumers in the future? This white paper from Endeavour Partners will dive into these these questions, and present an alternative vision for the future of consumer IoT, through the lens of the smart home, exploring why the future is different than the one we had been expecting.

Digital Habits of Public Library Members

EBSCO’s User Research team recently conducted an ethnography-style project focusing on the digital habits of public library
members, how the habits are formed, and the needs that spark their searches. The team talks about the project, the research
findings, how those findings impact how they think about public library users, and how the findings can help public libraries
support their users’ evolving needs—reader, seeker, socialite, “informavore”!
