A description of Essex Public Libraries, including new refurbishments, RFID implementation and other initiatives. Presented by Susan Carragher at the CILIPS Centenary Conference on 4 Jun 2008.Pratt Institute - Advanced Reference
The document discusses the importance of assessment in libraries. It defines assessment as evaluating the importance, size, or value of operations in order to make data-driven decisions and improve customer service. A culture of assessment relies on analyzing facts and research to deliver optimal services. Reasons to assess include learning user needs, investigating new services, allocating resources, and accountability. Effective assessment requires leadership, customer-focused staff, and collecting meaningful data. The document also provides examples of assessment tools and positions such as the assessment librarian role.
Planning Workshop
The document outlines the agenda and goals for a planning workshop to re-envision library services for the next 5-10 years. It discusses benchmarking current performance against standards, findings from the benchmarks, the importance of data collection and reporting, and quality service to customers. The workshop aims to generate ideas, encourage collaboration and begin documenting a new strategic plan through group discussions on key topics like extensions, information, collections, and service quality.
Building a Culture of Assessment @ ZSR
This document discusses developing a culture of assessment in academic libraries. It defines assessment as a process to understand user needs and evaluate how well the library supports those needs to improve services. The key aspects of a culture of assessment are that decisions are based on research and facts, and services are planned and delivered to maximize positive outcomes. The document recommends libraries develop assessment skills among staff, ensure assessment aligns with institutional goals, and use assessment data in decision-making to improve practices and participate in campus-wide evaluation. It provides examples of factors that can facilitate or hinder developing such a culture, and suggests libraries implement both broad assessments and local team-based assessments as part of moving forward to create a culture of assessment.
Pratt Infobehavior Fall2008
This document discusses the role of assessment librarians and the importance of assessment in libraries. It defines assessment as evaluating the importance, size, or value of operations in order to improve customer service. An assessment librarian understands libraries, advocates for customers, is passionate about quality service and assessment, and analyzes and interprets data to advise staff on projects and coordinate assessment efforts. Effective assessment requires library leadership, a customer-centered approach, and turning results into actionable changes.
Managing an Archive Service
This document outlines steps for managing an archive service, including defining roles, organizational context and planning, developing mission statements and objectives, project management, policies, surveying resources like staff, budget, facilities, and archives. It also summarizes a case study on archive administration management in a Jakarta tax consultant office, finding they use a centralized system but face obstacles like the long process to find archives, lack of archiving knowledge, and inadequate space.
Outcomes value & impact romaniuk
This document discusses the changing environment for academic libraries and the need to demonstrate their value through various metrics and measures. It emphasizes measuring outcomes and impacts that are linked to the institutional strategic plan, such as student success, research productivity, and teaching and learning support. Both input/activity measures (e.g. collections, usage) and outcome/impact measures (e.g. student retention, GPA, quality assessments) are recommended. The challenges of collecting useful data and setting realistic expectations are also addressed.

Cost-per-use vs. hours-per-report: usage data collection and the value of sta...
Cost-per-use for electronic journals has become a common standard for judging the value of individual titles, but the reports needed to make such judgments can be complex to create. Different options exist for collecting, collating and reporting the necessary data. This session will look at the costs estimated for the in-house process followed at the University of Mississippi, and how those costs in personnel time compared to pricing from outside vendors. It will also report on a survey of other libraries that use outside vendors to judge the perceived value of those services.
The survey data reported in the presentation is available upon request from the presenter.

The document summarizes a school board work session on process improvement and Lean methodology. It provides an overview of Lean, which aims to minimize waste and non-value-added work. Lean relies on 5 key principles: defining value from the customer perspective, understanding existing processes, standardizing efficient processes, producing only to meet demand, and continuously seeking improvement. The document identifies 7 types of waste that Lean helps reduce, such as overproduction, waiting, defects, and underutilized staff. It gives examples and symptoms of each waste type. The goal of Lean is to accelerate process improvement through engaging staff and data-driven problem solving.Lean Product Development

Library Evaluations: Community Involvement, On-going Improvement, Results!
The document provides guidance on conducting library evaluations to assess performance and identify areas for improvement. It recommends evaluating both quantitative metrics like circulation as well as qualitative factors from an exterior evaluation of the building to an analysis of youth services and policies. The evaluation should involve stakeholders and have clear objectives and goals set by the librarian and board. Findings should then be analyzed, an action plan created, and improvements implemented to enhance the library.
Library intelligence notes
This document discusses the importance of libraries using data and metrics to inform decision making and communicate their value. It notes that while librarians are good at collecting statistics, they often lack the ability or willingness to analyze, interpret, and apply the data. Without using data to take action or inform strategies, it has little value beyond justifying budgets. The document provides examples of how libraries can select peer institutions for benchmarking, analyze trends over time, and use multiple data sets to understand user needs and behaviors. It emphasizes telling "stories" combined with data ("Stories + Stats") to communicate effectively with stakeholders.

5 pecha kucha roll
The document discusses the British Library's implementation of a roving reference service to provide assistance to library patrons. Some key points:
- Roving reference staff walk around the library to proactively help patrons rather than waiting at a service desk. This improves accessibility and response times.
- An initial pilot program was successful, so the library expanded the roving service and provided additional training to reference staff.
- Implementing the roving service required assessing patron needs, benchmarking other libraries, addressing challenges like staffing needs, and making the business case for ongoing support.
- The roving model enhances collaborative work between library departments and allows staff to engage patrons throughout the physical library spaces.
Charleston 2015: Collection Lifecycle Management
In a time of ever increasing physical collection space shortages and rapidly evolving higher education institutions, a holistic understanding of the collection lifecycle as well as a strategic approach to collection development and retention as well as stakeholder engagement is needed. Some struggle with what materials to withdraw, especially if there is faculty opposition and how to move forward collaboratively. Leveraging the experience of leading the local culture shift in a large Association of Research Library, the principles, policies and methods required to shift mental models towards what must be retained, facilitating withdrawal decisions, and connecting collection development with ongoing collection management will be explored.
Audience members will leave with:
• An understanding of why collection lifecycle management may be beneficial
• key questions to ask themselves and colleagues when wanting to shift to collection lifecycle management
• an understanding of how existing policies and high-level workflows feed into the collection lifecycle management approach
• an understanding of the practical aspects of implementation,
• a link to a toolkit with policy templates, guides on collection evaluation and stakeholder engagement.

This document discusses how the UCD Library used an evidence-based approach to make budget cuts to subscriptions during a time of recession. Key points:
1. The library faced a 12% budget cut and 10% reduction in subscriptions. They gathered quantitative usage data and rolled out a decision-making tool to help staff make evidence-based cancellation decisions.
2. For the Business and Law Library service, the question was not whether to cancel but how to assist schools. They identified duplicative titles and provided transparency around proposed cancellations to promote discussion with academics.
3. The process built skills in using management information systems, created frameworks for future projects, and improved school-library relationships while highlighting existing resources.

The document discusses implementing a better object model for digital serials in a discovery environment. It describes how serial titles were previously described by MARC records with individual issues linked as electronic resources, which did not allow for identifying or sorting issues. The new model places serials and individual issues in a hierarchical collection/item structure, with MODS records containing label and sort fields to identify each issue. It required planning metadata requirements and bulk updating of MARC records to link to the new digital object identifiers and include the additional issue description fields.Increasing Access at Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library Through the Cataloging an...

The document summarizes efforts to increase access to the collections at the Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library through cataloging leftist monograph collections. It discusses the library's mission and history. Tools used include an open-source integrated library system (Koha), WordPress, and CiviCRM. Fundraising efforts like letter mailings and email campaigns are mentioned. Projects include cataloging training, assigning subject headings, and recruiting volunteers and interns. The overall goal is to make the library's leftist materials more accessible to researchers.Lightning Talk: Troubleshooting Access Project
This document summarizes a lightning talk on automating the troubleshooting of access issues for online library resources. It describes a common problem where off-campus users are denied access because their web browser caches an unauthorized IP address from their first visit without using a VPN. The talk proposes capturing users' IP addresses in ticket requests, checking if they are on or off campus, and providing automated responses that guide off-campus users to clear their cache and use a VPN to gain authorized access. This could help educate users and provide support outside of business hours by personalizing responses based on IP address location.

Sharing Our Special Collections with the World— Lessons Learned / Geoffrey Sk...Northern California Technical Processes Group
Sonoma County Library is unusual among public libraries in managing extensive special collections of photographs, rare books, wine-related materials, and local historic items. These materials are housed in several locations and represent only some of the library’s many hidden collections. We began digitizing and making photographs available online from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s with minimal metadata; today we leverage outsourcing and partnerships to bring over 40,000 digitized items with extensive metadata to the Web. Encouraging statistics show worldwide viewing and great local interest, yet many challenges remain: prioritizing collections, choosing platforms, developing standards-based workflows, preserving the digital and physical objects, developing and maintaining partnerships, and many more.
In addition to describing the ways we are addressing these challenges, we will also illustrate a particular case—an ongoing project of the Sonoma County Wine Library. Beginning as a clippings file decades ago, the current manifestation of the International Wine Research Database (IWRDB) resides at iwrdb.org. A recent grant awarded to the Wine Library offered the chance to upgrade the raw data and the search interface, and the project remains an exciting opportunity for potentially bringing together staff and researchers from wine libraries in the US and abroad.

Sharing Knowledge through Community-Assisted Cataloging and Generous Distribu...Northern California Technical Processes Group
Libraries, archives and museums generally share a commitment to provide access to collections information, yet we often struggle for time and resources to fully catalog, digitize, and publish our data. By working in partnership with community experts and other institutions, we have a better shot at reaching a broader public and improving the metadata and digital assets associated with our collections. Collaborative approaches to collections care and access—such as crowdsourcing metadata, volunteer-led digitization, and participation in aggregated sites like the Digital Public Library of America—can open up opportunities, but may require us to rethink our standard modes of operation and to shift perspective—from that of an isolated and distinct facility to one experiencing membership in a global community of institutions, community experts, and end users.
This talk will consider various strategies for “opening” collections processing, as well as access, using case examples from the Harold O’Neal film collection at the GLBT Historical Society, and Andrew J. Russell’s glass plate negatives documenting the construction of the transcontinental railroad, at the Oakland Museum of California.

Reflecting on both successes and failures, and her experience as a beta-test site leader and advisory board, consortia products review and license review and standards-committee member, Linda will offer strategies for being heard and solving problems. Which committees save you time? Are trouble-tickets the path to knowledge-base improvements? Is the Customer Services Representative visit an inside track to the Product Development Team? Is beta-testing worth the time commitment? Are conferences more than presentations and tchotchkes? Using examples from a variety of publishers, vendors, products, conferences and committees, Linda will offer a multi-pronged attack utilizing cross-departmental efforts to tackle knowledge-base errors, interface shortcomings, authentication failures, and feature loss. Universal accessibility and mobile availability will be explored as case studies in using license negotiation, consortia, trials and testing to pressure vendors to create products for our users.
A graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, MLIS program in 1984, Linda Wobbe has worked in diverse public and academic libraries along the West Coast, and currently serves as the Head of Collection Management at Saint Albert Hall Library, Saint Mary’s College of California. As Head of Collection Management, Linda coordinates Collection Development, and manages Acquisitions, Electronic Resources, Periodicals and Processing functions. Linda is active in SCELC, the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium, serving on the Product Review and License Review Committees; and NCCPL, the Northern California Consortium of Psychology Libraries.

Goldminers of the Digital Age: How Libraries are Selecting, Presenting, and D...Northern California Technical Processes Group
For many libraries, an institutional repository is an online archive to collect, preserve, and make accessible the intellectual output of an institution. For a growing bloc, the goal is to go further, beyond knowledge preservation to knowledge creation. These libraries are using their repositories to provide faculty with a proven publishing option by facilitating the production and distribution of original content often too niche for traditional publishers.
How do metadata librarians sift the incoming metadata with these different goals in mind? How do they optimize content for discovery in a wide range of resources such as online catalogs, external research databases, and major search engines? For a library that is also providing publishing services, what additional steps are necessary?
As the provider of Digital Commons, a repository and publishing platform for over 350 institutions, bepress has first-hand experience with these topics, and our consultants advise regularly on best practices for collecting, publishing, distributing, and archiving content. This presentation is intended for library professionals, whether their goal is to collect previously published works or to go further into library-led publishing. After an overview of common sources and destinations for metadata, attendees will come away with a set of considerations for streamlining workflows and optimizing content for discovery and distribution in major venues.
Eli Windchy is the VP, Consulting Services at bepress which provides software and services to the scholarly community. She received a Master's in Archaeology from University of Virginia, taught organic gardening, and for the last ten years has also been getting dirty with the metadata of Digital Commons repositories. She co-directs courses in institutional repository management and publishing, and she enjoys addressing the challenges of interoperability and scholarly communication.Are We Losing Our (Paper) Minds?

Are We Losing Our (Paper) Minds? Processing Analog Collections in the Digital...Northern California Technical Processes Group
Most archivists work, and for the foreseeable future will continue to work, in hybrid environments where analog and digital coexist and where the perception and treatment of one is informed and sometimes limited by the existence of the other. Analog collections are rendered in digital surrogates surrounded and supported by standardized digital metadata. Born-digital materials can be sorted and placed into desktop “folders” in an act that models familiar behavior with analog material and provides a comforting illusion of physicality. This presentation will look at how the mingling of analog and digital systems in the 21st-century archival institution affects, for better or worse, the perceptions and decisions of archivists working on the 20th-century paper backlog. Is the rapidly growing presence of digital systems in analog archival processing causing us to lose our (paper) minds? If so, does it matter?
Lara Michels is an archivist currently working on the “quick kills” project to increase access to the paper manuscripts backlog of the Bancroft Library. She is also an historian with a PhD from Brandeis University.Building a national digital library repository – and freeing / Terry Reese
Building a national digital library repository – and freeing / Terry ReeseNorthern California Technical Processes Group
The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is an ambitious project conceived around the idea of a shared, national, digital repository. The resource would bring together the aggregated metadata of millions of publically accessible digital objects to the public. Working with eight pilot aggregators, the DPLA is ambitiously working towards a public launch in Spring 2013. The creation of the DPLA will result in the development of one of the largest repositories of free and CC0-licensed bibliographic metadata for digital content. This bibliographic data will provide researchers and library developers the opportunity to explore data mining, relationship building and experiment with linked data concepts. The DPLA represents a next step for libraries looking to move beyond their own walls and venture into the world of truly collaborative collections building. Terry Reese is the Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services at Oregon State University (OSU). He is the author of a number of metadata related software packages and libraries like MarcEdit, a MARC/XML metadata software suite and the C# OAI Harvesting package. He has published a number of works on digital libraries and library metadata issues, including co-authoring a book with Kyle Banerjee entitled, Building Digital Libraries: a how-to-do-it manual.Sharing "Hidden Collections" Beyond Our Libraries' Walls / Elaine Franco
Sharing "Hidden Collections" Beyond Our Libraries' Walls / Elaine FrancoNorthern California Technical Processes Group
At the University of California, Davis, special collections cataloging is mainstreamed within a comprehensive cataloging department. In recent years, bibliographic access has been provided for materials that had been uncataloged and "hidden" for decades. Through cataloging efforts at the local level, original bibliographic records have been added to OCLC WorldCat, the University of California's Melvyl, and the ESTC (English Short Title Catalog). As a result of catalogers' virtual travel beyond the library's walls, hidden collections can be made accessible beyond the library's physical boundaries. Specific examples of calculated online searches, as well as serendipitous discoveries, will be presented within a broader context of providing access to collections "hidden" within the physical walls of a physical library, with the intent of suggesting best practices that could be adapted by other catalogers for other libraries. Elaine Franco is Principal Cataloger for monographs in the Cataloging & Metadata Services Department, UC Davis Library. She currently serves on the Advisory Board of the California Library Association Technical Services Interest Group, is Chair of the ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee, and is a member of the ALCTS Board of Directors.Breaking through invisible walls: Developing a new discovery catalog for a me...
Breaking through invisible walls: Developing a new discovery catalog for a me...Northern California Technical Processes Group
The concept of a "library without walls" has evolved over the last 100 years. Are there any walls left for 21st century libraries to consider? One answer to this question is that the remaining walls are virtual, political, and economic rather than physical. These invisible walls segregate library content from other content available on the Internet and create various barriers that restrict access to library resources. The new discovery catalog at the joint academic/public library in San Jose is an attempt to break through some of these walls in a complex political and economic environment. John Wenzler is the Associate Dean of Digital Futures, Technical Services, and Information Technology at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library of San Jose State University. John oversees the development of a growing suite of digital resources and services available from the SJSU Library. Because the King Library is a joint academic/public library, he also works collaboratively with the management of the San Jose Public Library to establish strategic goals and priorities. Before moving to SJSU, John was the Electronic Resources Coordinator at San Francisco State University and has worked as a Systems Librarian at Innovative Interfaces.More from Northern California Technical Processes Group (17)

二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信号BYZS866】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
