This document describes different camera shot types used in filmmaking including long shots from a distance, close ups focusing on a person's face, medium shots showing a person from the waist up, high shots looking down on a scene, and low shots looking up.
The document proposes three initial ideas for media presentations:
1) "14 and a half days" about people stranded on an island who start disappearing
2) "House of the shattered mirror" about a family who open a locked room with a shattered mirror and don't like what they see
3) "HANGMAN" about a mentally ill patient hanging and cutting open victims
It notes potential problems with filming locations, special effects, and finding appropriate actors. It outlines plans for a script, storyboard, crew roles, equipment needs and budget, costume and prop lists, and a health and safety risk assessment. The pitch argues the idea is creative and gripping.
The document discusses four roles involved in film production:
- Camera operators operate cameras and know how to frame shots, choreograph scenes, and use equipment like cameras, dollies, and cranes.
- Sound engineers, also called audio engineers, edit and mix audio and use equipment like microphones, mixers, converters, and workstations.
- Lighting technicians organize lighting for shots, considering the type, color, and source of lights needed for each scene.
- Directors have overall vision and make decisions on camerawork, lighting, sets, hiring, writing, financing, and editing for a film.
Matthew is working in his dark basement workshop, operating on and sewing together animal parts. Louisa is chained up in the corner. Matthew's drawings show his plans to operate on Louisa. When Matthew turns to Louisa with a knife and smile, the film cuts to the word "INCISION" on a black screen as Louisa screams. The film will be shot in a side room at school with available equipment, costumes, and volunteers to help.
The health and safety risk assessment document evaluates potential risks to employee health and safety. It likely identifies hazards in the workplace and proposes mitigation strategies to reduce risks. The overall goal is to maintain a safe working environment and protect employees from injury or illness.
The document provides instructions for navigating a conflict of interest (COI) form review process online. It notes that Suzanne Alstadt is the Director of the Office for Research and Sponsored Programs and Kathryn Henning is the Manager of Compliance Education. It gives various directions for reviewing COI forms, requesting corrections, and approving forms while providing contact information for the COI Office.

This document discusses strategies for weeding library collections at SUNY Potsdam's Crumb Library. Due to limited shelf space, the library needed to weed over 11,000 volumes from the stacks by summer 2012. Committees were formed to review periodicals and monographs published between 1850-1950 with zero circulations. Reports were run to identify candidates for withdrawal and librarians gathered additional data on titles. Lists of items were compiled and reviewed collaboratively before being submitted to faculty for feedback. The goal was to shift collections to prioritize more heavily used materials while maintaining important resources.
These slides were presented as part of a webinar to provide RLG Partnership institutions with the opportunity to learn more about the current work taking place in OCLC Research and discover new ways to become more engaged in the RLG Partnership.
Topics covered include: Green ILL Practices & Deaccessioning Decision Tree; Cloud Library; In-copyright Print Books; Evaluating Rights & Risk for Unpublished Materials;
Special Collections Survey; The Library's Role in Research Assessment; Data Curation; and Social Metadata. A preview of upcoming events, reports and webinars was also included.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey on hidden collections in UK libraries. It found that over 13 million volumes across 77 responding institutions remain uncataloged, with some collections over 100 years old. Specific formats like maps, photographs, and foreign language materials made up a large portion of the backlogs. There was support for creating a national registry of collection-level descriptions to help prioritize retroactive cataloging efforts and make these hidden collections more accessible. However, others were skeptical that a new report would lead to real changes without a coordinated national strategy.

NCompass Live: The Secret Art of Patron Driven eBook AcquisitionsDana Longley
This document summarizes the results of a 3-year patron-driven ebook acquisition program at SUNY Empire State College. It found that allowing patrons to trigger short-term loans and purchases of ebooks from the Ebrary catalog led to over 2,400 ebooks being accessed at a total cost of $62,268. Usage increased over time, with views and sessions doubling year-over-year. Popular subject areas included business, intercultural communication, and religious texts. The program helped expand the ebook collection size without large upfront costs.

'And Other Duties as Assigned' Expanding the Boundaries of the E-resource Lif...NASIG
Librarians working in environments with a small number of people reporting to them and a limited number of professional staff members often have a great number of disparate duties. How do the tasks and jobs suggested in the e-resource life cycle relate to the many duties of a librarian in a small organization? The presenters will discuss how they break down their responsibilities using the framework of the e-resource life cycle as well as other job analysis techniques to tackle both large and small projects. Among our examples will be an inventory of our collections to clean up our catalogs and our OCLC listings, preparing items for digitization, and implementation of a discovery system. We also want to explore how the needs of a law library and the needs of a general academic library impact workflow and decisions.

This document summarizes the weeding project at Syracuse University's Science and Technology Library. The library was 99% full and needed to make space as part of the building was being given to the Math department. The library undertook a massive weeding project involving removing journal backfiles, outdated books, and indexes. Materials were sent to a recycler. Details such as updating records and staff were important to the project's success. Tracking progress through methods like SharePoint was also key.
Scopus is a large abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature including scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings. The presentation discusses Scopus' broad coverage across subject areas and publishers, its process for selecting content through an independent advisory board, and ongoing content expansion programs. Features of Scopus include cited reference tracking, author profiles, and new/updated mobile interfaces. ScienceDirect is also discussed as a full-text database that helps researchers save time finding and consuming relevant research articles through personalized recommendations, collaborative tools, and mobile accessibility. Mendeley is briefly introduced as a reference manager and academic social network for organizing research papers, collaborating with other researchers, and discovering new publications.
Taylor & Francis Online is a digital platform that publishes over 1,000 journals and 1,800 new books each year across various subject areas. It aims to facilitate discovery of research, allow access from anywhere, maximize dissemination of authors' work, and support libraries in their mission. The platform provides access to peer-reviewed journals, reference works, databases, books and eBooks across fields like social sciences, sciences, technology, and more. Users can search and browse content by subject, journal, or other filters and download full-text PDFs to read and cite from anywhere.
The document discusses the future of reference collections in libraries. It outlines that reference collections traditionally included dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other resources for quick fact-checking, but users now prefer electronic versions. This poses issues for libraries in maintaining both print and digital formats with limited budgets. The document also notes that reference sections have become neglected and outdated. It suggests libraries develop collection policies to guide updating reference materials in electronic or print.

The document discusses the tensions between academic libraries' missions of preserving knowledge for future generations and serving the current needs of students and faculty. It notes that libraries are moving away from primarily permanent collections towards more temporary access models using leasing and subscriptions. A potential future model is outlined where libraries focus on immediate access to all relevant content through various temporary means while ensuring future access through initiatives like print archiving. This broader temporary collection approach could fulfill both the preservation and access missions if issues like ensuring access to out-of-print titles are addressed.

1. A study analyzed the impact of four discovery services on journal article usage across six publishers and 33 libraries over two years.
2. The study found that every discovery service increased journal usage compared to the control group, but the size of the increase differed between services and across libraries and publishers.
3. Usage changes were influenced by factors like library configurations, metadata quality, and availability of full text in aggregators. More research is needed on how discovery impacts other content types and why certain results occurred.

• Charge: to make a data-driven decision
about the right mix of seating and
collections on the lower level of the
renovated library.
• Representatives from (mostly) humanities
and social sciences.
13. The questions:
• What is the purpose of an on-campus collection?
• What criteria should be used to shape an on-
campus collection?
• Why should it be larger than 20% of the
monographs proposed by the Chancellor and
Board?
• Which data should be considered in supporting
recommendations?

27. On-Site Collection Goals?
• A good starting point for undergraduate research papers
• Serendipitous discovery (browsing) that will result in some
material
• Immediate access for people who can’t wait at all to get
something
• Something for everyone across disciplines, supporting
teaching
• Something for heaviest users: AHSS
• Material to support research when only browsing works
28. Initial Library Recommendation
• Core collections:
• Imprint date of 2003 and later in most disciplines and excepting
those available as e-books.
• Books of all publication dates that have been checked out 5 or
more times since 1997
• 2900 LF of the art and art history books and journals
• Totals 19,900 LF
31. FQ2: why do you visit the print collection?
• Two dominant browsing patterns for faculty:
• A known item search, then see additional material on the shelf
• Go directly to “your” shelf location to browse for materials
• In addition, it is common (48%) for faculty members to
visit in order to look up something specific in a specific
title.
32. SQ1: Why do students go to the stacks?
• 14% do not use the print collection, and 6% always use
Request It
• 67% browse for a course assignment
• 44% browse for creative inspiration
• 74% are going after a specific book
• 41% need to look up a fact or passage in a book
• 13% described other reasons
• Look for one book and find a lot of others
• Reading for pleasure
• Personal reading
• Practicing language skills
• To relax
33. FQ4: collection use for research
• 65% of respondents say books are primary research
resources.
• 68% use books to find specific information
• 66% use books to update or refresh knowledge and 80%
use books to expand knowledge
• Comments illustrate very high levels of concern about
these modes of inquiry becoming so inconvenient that
inquiry itself will be disrupted, reduced, or
even impossible.

35. How many Linear Feet for assignments?
• 73,000 LF
• Clearly, all books in each call number would not be
needed, but that’s how we counted.
• We did not include responses such as “all collections” or
“all literature.”
• We added up linear feet for topics specified by
respondents.
• All areas of the collection are used in teaching.
36. FQ6: What (specifically) should be
returned to the new library?
• Responses range from “everything” to “all literary
criticism” to works by a specific author.
• Many responses show the extent to which teaching and
research is interdisciplinary: gender studies, race
studies, multicultural therapy, history of literacy, or
church/art/social history.
• We did not include some responses such as “all
collections” or “all literature.”
• 70,041 Linear Feet, or 92% of the tallied collection.
Again, all parts of the collection are valued by faculty.
37. FQ7: when is a 3-hour delivery OK (i.e.
what can be stored?)
• Some respondents said there is nothing for which a 3
hour delivery time is OK; it diminishes browsing.
• 49% said we could store anything that had never been
checked out.
• 49% said low use books were OK to store.
• 60% approve storing the paper version of an e-book.
• 34% thought we could store the book if the catalog record
includes a table of contents online.
38. Key concepts from comments
• For some students and faculty little concern about storing
collections.
HOWEVER
• The vast majority of respondents, both students and
faculty, very unhappy, worried, angry, upset, or concerned
about the decision to store most of the book collections.
• Few worry about turnaround time; most regret loss of
browsing.
39. Key concepts
• Some collection uses CANNOT be done by requesting
known items. Examples from the survey are:
• Image/photo/illustration searching within books (hence our
recommendation that we return the art books)
• Assessment of degree of difficulty of non-English Language fiction
• Choosing older volumes on the basis of presentation (font, format)
41. What would a subject collection
look like?
Discipline Titles Linear Feet % of Collection
Arts & Humanities 439,466 37,290 49.1%
Cookbooks 7,432 531 0.7%
Business 36,340 3,028 4.0%

Totals 906,037 75,901
42. Expansion to 30% - Which 6700 feet?
1. Titles in all subjects with 3 (3,366 LF) and 4 (1,840 LF)
uses published before 2003 = about 5,206 LF
2. Including publication dates back to 2000 = 4,500 LF
3. Pub dates back to 2000 and 4+ uses = 6,340 LF
• Which data support including 30% ?
43. For 40%, Which 10,700 LF?
• 40% is 31,600 LF; if the library core collections is
included, there is 10,700 LF for more material
• What criteria / data support 40%?
1. Titles in all subjects with 3 (3,366 LF) and 4 (1,840 LF)
uses published before 2003 = about 5,206 LF
2. Including all publication dates back to 2000 = 4,500 LF
3. 1 + 2 = about 9,700 LF, less when overlap between the
two criteria is subtracted.
4. Cookbooks in open stacks = 531 LF
44. 50% Scenario
• Would accommodate 39,500 LF
• Subtracting the core collection of 19,900 leaves 19,600
for flexible collections.
• Seating loss (compared to the 30% scenario) is about 120
seats.
• Which 19,600 LF?
• What data support this scenario?
45. Recommendation
• Books published since 1983, excluding e-
books, duplicates, older editions
32,000 LF
• Books published before 1983, checked out 2 or more
times 4,419 LF
• Heavily-illustrated materials, excluding the above two
categories 3,000 LF
• Total size of on-site collection 39,419 LF
• Percentage 50%
Other collection uses can be done by requesting known items, changing the location of browsing across many titles – it will be done at the pick-up desk rather than at the shelf.
