As the fight for research grants intensifies and the pot of money decreases, librarians need to ensure that the topic of scholarly communication remains on the forefront, regardless of funding. Affording researchers avenues to widely share and publish their work to make it widely available should be a mission both in the library and at the highest levels of the institution. How can libraries make an impact? In this presentation two librarians, a consortia officer and vendor, will discuss how consortia have and continue to play a primary role in advocating for dissemination of information and scholarly communication. Additionally, they will discuss other tools that libraries/researchers can use as a method of collaboration, whether regional or international, and why it is essential for libraries to become part of the solution before they are left out in the cold. Please come prepared to discuss how your library is making an impact on this topic.
Anne McKee
Program Officer for Resource Sharing, Greater Western Library Alliance
McKee received her M.L.S. from Indiana University, Bloomington and has had a very diverse career in librarianship. She has been an academic librarian, a sales rep for two subscription agencies and now a consortium officer for the past 13 years. A former President of NASIG, McKee is on the Serials Review Editorial Board, 3 publisher/vendor library advisory boards and strives to balance a busy career with an even busier family including a husband, 1 high schooler, 1 middle schooler, 2 dogs while being a first year newbie [and admittedly a rather bewildered] club volleyball mom: all this including wearing orthodontia! McKee is probably the only person you’ll meet with both an undergrad AND MLS in Library Science.

LibQUAL is a standardised survey instrument developed by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) that measures user perceptions of library services. Libraries implement LibQUAL periodically to better understand user priorities and to monitor library performance relative to student and faculty expectations.
UBC Library ran LibQUAL in 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. While survey questions are broad and results do not prescribe specific actions, the survey helps libraries understand their longitudinal performance in four areas:
Library collections
Access to collections
Library spaces
Customer service
As in past years, UBC Library ran LibQUAL separately at the Okanagan and Vancouver locations. At both locations the survey opened Monday, January 18 and ran for 3 weeks, closing Friday February 5. This report is limited to results of the Vancouver survey.
Managing Content in EBSCO Discovery Service: Action guide for Surviving and T...NASIG
Since library’s implementation and promotion of EBSCO Discovery Service in 2014, our Electronic Resources team continues to troubleshoot seamless content discovery for library patrons. Nothing prepared us for the kind of content issues we have to deal on a day to day basis. This dynamic, full of real examples presentation will look at examples of managing content in EDS to improve discovery of resources: from linking issues to ClinicalKey records to dealing with “bound with” local catalog records. The presenter will address obstacles faced and solutions found and our experience working with EBSCO. Following this session, participants will be able to apply “how to” techniques to troubleshoot content issues in EBSCO Discovery Service. This session is unique and important because it outlines practical steps in troubleshooting content management in EBSCO Discovery service.

E-books for the Classroom & Open Access Textbooks: Two ways to help students ...NASIG
In order to help students withstand the rising cost of textbooks, and in turn support the mission of student success, the University of South Florida has implemented two electronic resource based initiatives as part of the Tampa Library’s Textbook Affordability Project.
Through the E-books for the Classroom program, the Library purchases electronic versions of texts required for coursework, providing equitable access to needed materials at no cost to the students. For the past five years, this program has evolved into a highly successful Textbook Affordability measure, acquiring hundreds of e-books and serving thousands of students, as well as becoming an integral part of the e-book acquisition process.
The Library, with the support of the Office of the Provost and in collaboration with other departments across the University, is publishing a faculty-authored multimedia Open Access Textbook to be used by hundreds of students each semester in USF’s children’s literature courses. The USF institutional repository, Scholar Commons, will host the textbook, making it freely available on a global scale. This program effectively uses library expertise and skills, coordinating university-wide faculty, professional, and technical resources, to create library-as-publisher for the benefit of the students and textbook affordability.
This presentation will include a review of the need for these types of Library based initiatives, the processes involved in establishing and maintaining them, and a discussion of their challenges and successes along with plans for future improvements.

A robust user test where in we screen down to 100 Remote Users - who are screened into 50 Non DSG Users, and 50 DSG Users - who are then sent through the following subtests:
- 50 Qualtrics All Tasks
- 25 Qualtrics New Features
- 25 Optimal Open Card Sort All Tasks
- 25 Optimal Tree Test Current Nav
- 50 Qualtrics Sentiments Test (
A diagram of this screening and process can be seen at https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/11P1bbI43_giOQvmkrC-koP1rm1brorqgx18Bt795y0U/edit?usp=sharing.
Designers from the User Interface (UI) Team designed interactions and redesigns for the Field & Stream website homepage, and collaborated with members of the User Experience (UX) Team to identify/screen potential user testers and define testing tasks.
The eCommerce Purchase Path Team has requested existing user data and additional user research on the checkout Payment
Methods webpage, specifically focusing on Promotion Codes and ScoreCard Reward Certificates.
Optimization as a sequence of reciprocal cause and
effect in which two or more elements intensify and aggravate each other, leading inexorably to a worsening of the situation.
In collaboration with the Product Management Team, the UX Team has been asked to complete a website audit of the Dick’s Sporting Goods desktop website, but through a tablet device experience.
As DICK’s Sporting Goods prepares for the 2016 holiday season, Senior eCommerce Merchandising
Strategy requested user research on naming conventions, content, and L0 / L1 / L2 structure for the “featured” mega-menu item from the UX Team.

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

Introduction
The WVU Libraries Web Team - comprised of representatives from each
individual library and library department at WVU - is faced with
designing a library search box in an ever-changing ecosphere of
catalogs, search resources, priorities, and online trends.
To conduct research, the Web Team decided to take on the daunting
task of designing, constructing, and administering a comprehensive
higher-education libraries search box usability test in three tiers.

3. WVU Libraries 2016 Website Survey: 04/1/2016 – 04/15/2016
Communication Strategy
Tier 1 Usability Test - starting from the macrocosm of at least 1,000
of our users - faculty, staff, students, etc. – users would provide
information through a completely randomized Qualtrics survey.
Tier 2 Usability Test – reduce testing down to at least 100 of our users
interacting with animated wireframes through intercepts.
Tier 3 Usability Test – further reduce testing all the way to at least 10
users doing specific audio and video recorded usability testing, and
fully functional search boxes.
