The document summarizes a project by the ALA Emerging Leaders Program to rebrand the librarian profession. A survey of over 3,400 library professionals found that they see themselves as "Research Experts" while the public sees them as "Book Experts." The project team recommends a three-pronged approach to rebrand librarians as tech-savvy information experts: 1) a media campaign showing modern librarians, 2) promoting libraries as community spaces beyond books, and 3) networking beyond the library field.

Impacts of Climate Change on Cambodia
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Cambodia. It provides background information on Cambodia, noting that most of its population lives in rural areas and relies on agriculture, fishing, forestry and river resources for their livelihood. It then discusses how climate change is affecting Cambodia, with rising temperatures and more unpredictable rainfall patterns. Key impacts include threats to people's livelihoods from effects on rice farming, fisheries and natural resources they depend on.
Impacts of Climate Change on Cambodia
Cambodia is vulnerable to floods and droughts which are exacerbated by climate change. Agriculture and fisheries are particularly at risk as they are highly dependent on seasonal rainfall. Floods and droughts have previously caused major damage and losses, contributing to widespread poverty across Cambodia. Many Cambodians live in high risk areas and rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, so long-term risks of climate change like water insecurity, sea level rise, and disruption of ecosystems threaten their livelihoods and food security.
Impacts of Climate Change on Cambodia

Cambodian agriculture adaptation to climate change impact
This document summarizes a study on the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Cambodia. Crop modeling software was used to evaluate the impacts of climate change on yields of 8 major crops in Cambodia between 2000 and 2050, using climate data from 4 global climate models. The analysis found that yields of wet-season rice could be maintained or losses reduced by using improved cultivars suited to changing conditions and adjusting planting dates. Losses for many crops could also be compensated for by increasing soil nitrogen. Additionally, a survey of 45 communes found that farmers currently make limited adaptations to extreme weather, such as changing crops or planting dates. Increased capacity for adaptation will be important to avoid yield losses over the next 40 years. Drought and
About poultry in Bangladesh
The document discusses the poultry industry in Bangladesh and eggs. It notes that poultry is important for protein and nutrition in Bangladesh. The industry has grown exponentially in the last 20 years to over 100,000 farms. It employs over 5.5 million people, half of whom are women. While demand for meat and eggs is high, production does not meet demand. The document examines differences between brown and white eggs and local versus farm eggs. It finds eggs to be nutritious and that moderate egg consumption does not increase heart disease risk for most healthy individuals. The conclusion calls the poultry industry important for Bangladesh and recommends farmers organize and follow scientific practices.

This document discusses information architecture (IA) and provides tips for improving library websites through effective IA. It defines IA as the art and science of organizing a website to support usability and findability. The document recommends that library websites have clear organizational structures to keep content findable, usable, and allow for growth. It provides specific tips for key areas like home pages, pathway pages, navigation, URLs, folders, scrolling, writing, and accessibility to help users easily find and understand content on the site. The conclusion emphasizes that IA involves both science and art, and encourages taking risks guided by intuition to create a useful website.
Information Architecture for Librarians or The top 10 things you can do to im...
This document discusses information architecture (IA), which is the structural design of shared information environments including organization, labeling, search, and navigation systems. IA is important for creating library websites that meet the needs of different users groups in an organized, usable, and findable manner. While libraries strive to keep physical shelves unchaotic, many library websites grow disorganized over time without IA principles. The document argues that most web librarians receive inadequate training for their role, despite being seen as tech savvy, and library schools do not sufficiently prepare students to design structured, user-focused websites.

This document summarizes preliminary results from a study examining how librarians' search habits differ based on when they first started using online resources. The study compares "Group A", librarians who have used online resources since high school, to "Group B", librarians who first used online resources after library school. Initial findings show Group A scans quickly and searches multiple places at once, while Group B considers print resources more, is slower and more methodical, and tolerates ambiguity more. Next steps include continuing comparative testing and surveying millennial librarians.

The document discusses a study conducted on whether students want librarians involved in their social networks. A survey of 50 students at the University of Central Missouri found that 80% had social media accounts but only 34% would add a librarian as a friend. While some students were open to receiving library resources through social media, focus group discussions revealed that students see social media as personal space and do not want authority figures to have access to personal details. The conclusion is that libraries should have a presence on social media but not force interaction, and it's important for librarians to maintain a hierarchical relationship with students.
Rebranding the Librarian Profession
The document discusses rebranding the librarian profession by analyzing stereotypes, surveying librarians, and proposing solutions. It suggests emphasizing expertise in information navigation and technology to appeal to younger users. Based on survey results, librarians see themselves as "Research Experts" while the public sees them as "Book Experts." To reposition as "Info-nauts," the profession should design a media campaign showing modern, tech-savvy librarians and rethink libraries as integrated community spaces and online services. Networking beyond libraries can demonstrate librarians' valuable skill sets.
VuFind @ Illinois #4 Usability Testing and Results
Usability testing and surveys of VuFind at the University of Illinois found that:
1) While users liked aspects like the visual interface and finding books easier, they also had some issues with facets being confusing and search results not always clear.
2) A majority found VuFind much more user-friendly than the previous catalog, and would use it frequently for book searches over other options.
3) Testing revealed needed improvements like keyword searching, better labeling of availability, and customizing search result displays.
VuFind @ Illinois #1 VuFind at the University of Illinois
VuFind is an open source discovery tool that provides a unified search interface for a library's catalog and other resources. It was developed at Villanova University and is now used by many academic libraries. VuFind crawls and indexes data from a library's ILS and other sources, and provides faceted searching and display of results. It also integrates features like holds, social sharing, and citation export. While originally built for Voyager libraries, it now supports other ILSs through custom drivers and is highly customizable. Many libraries have implemented VuFind locally to provide an enhanced discovery experience for users.
Usability Testing: A Brief Introduction for the Novice
This document provides an introduction to usability testing for novices. It discusses what usability studies and user experience are, as well as the legal requirements for conducting studies using the Institutional Review Board. It recommends the basic equipment needed like an interviewer, interviewee, questions, and notes. More advanced options for recording interviews are presented ranging from free to expensive software. Guidelines are offered for developing surveys, recruiting participants, conducting interviews, storing data, and asking detailed questions. Examples from studies of undergraduate students are shared, revealing habits like relying on search and not using libraries or mobile devices as expected. Suggested additional resources on usability and qualitative research methods are also provided.
Next Generataion Discovery
This document discusses next generation discovery tools for library catalogs and resources. It provides a brief history of library catalogs and how people traditionally search them, noting that users want full text searches but often use literal searches. The document then mentions an undergraduate research project and says the future will improve on current discovery methods. It includes several citations and the author's contact information.
