Using Internet Resources to Enhance School Media Center Services
(American Association of School Librarians, 1995) MacDonald, Randall M.
The Internet contains a wealth of information that has special relevance for educators. Students and teachers must develop familiarity with the Internet and other emerging technologies if they are to contribute to our changing world. Media specialists can provide leadership in the incorporation of the Internet into the life of a school. Learning how to navigate the Internet and locating resources that provide curricular support for your school will expand the services of your media program. Specific goals for instruction in use of the Internet will allow you to make effective use of online time and teach skills that are beneficial to beginning users.
Reference Services and Collection Development: Faculty Outreach Through the Campus Network
(The Haworth Press, Inc., 1997) Simmons, Elizabeth A.; MacDonald, Randall M.
Effective reference services and collection development in a small academic library depend upon collaborative planning and performance by the entire library staff. Coordination of library activities and understanding of the library and college mission are the foundations of a program responsive to the needs of the college community. Partnerships between the library and classroom faculty ensure that curricular needs are satisfied through activities as diverse as bibliographic instruction and materials acquisition. Traditional interactions have been greatly enhanced through rapid advances in telecommunications, offering librarians additional tools for faculty outreach.
Cimarrón and Philmont
(Arcadia Publishing, 2012) MacDonald, Randall M.; Lamm, Gene; MacDonald, Sarah E.
Moving to Linked Data: Cataloguing Outside the (MARC) Box
(Ontario Library Association, 2015) Bigellow, Ian; Boileau, Stacey; Emon, Danielle; Leung, Rosina; Morgan, Marina; Sillius, Irene
Linked data for libraries has been getting a lot of attention lately. Linked data offers the promise to free library metadata from its existing silos, making it available where our users are (the search engines). At the same time, linked data will incorporate the sharing of metadata in ways MARC has never allowed, bringing the opportunity for richer description, while simultaneously enhancing information retrieval through serendipitous browsing or semantic search. This poster aims to outline several steps that can be taken now to prepare for linked data through the creation of descriptive metadata.
Undressing Fashion Metadata: Ryerson University Fashion Research Collection
(Ontario Library Association, 2015-01) Eichenlaub, Naomi; Morgan, Marina
The purpose of this poster is to provide insight into the processes involved in making a unique fashion research and teaching collection discoverable in an online environment at Ryerson University. The online collection will provide a means for the users to identify what artifacts are available for research purposes and facilitate teaching in the classroom. The poster will highlight effective metadata standards and elements, cross-domain metadata uses, metadata mapping and implementation.
The Aha Moments of the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute
(American Library Association, 2015-05) Galbraith, Nora; Thompson, Eridan
We are graduates of the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute, (SSLLI), which is a professional development initiative sponsored by the Florida State Division of Library and Information Services. We both applied and were accepted into the institute and agreed to commit to attend ten sessions over a period of nine months. We also agreed to select and work with a mentor who would provide advice and guidance during that period.
Bringing a small archival collection to life on the web: Remembering the real Winnie
(DCMI, 2015-09-05) Wilson, Sally; Morgan, Marina
The purpose of this poster is to provide insight into the processes involved in creating an interdisciplinary online exhibition focused on a unique chapter of Canadian history from World War I. The exhibition focuses on the Colebourn Family Archive comprising digitized photographs and ephemera of Canadian soldier and veterinarian Harry Colebourn (1887–1947) who purchased a pet bear named Winnie who later became A. A. Milne’s inspiration for the classic Winnie-the-Pooh children's book series.
Improve the Batch Cataloging at Your Library: MarcEdit to the Rescue
(Ontario Library Association, 2016-01) Morgan, Marina; Storova, Hana
This presentation will focus on how you can improve the batch cataloguing at your library with MarcEdit, a free software for processing library metadata. This interactive and informative session will highlight many basic and advanced MarcEdit tools and techniques, key features that will help you join and split MARC files, batch process records with regular expressions, and RDA Helper. The latest software updates and the general support for many metadata formats that can improve the access to your e-resources collections will be discussed as well.
Integrating Library Services in Your Teaching and Research
(Florida Southern College, 2016-09) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, Marina
Digital Asset Management Systems: Open Source or Not Open Source?
(Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, 2016-10) Morgan, Marina; Eichenlaub, Naomi
The objective of this poster is to provide an overview of a number of existing open source and proprietary information management systems for digital assets. We hope that this poster will assist libraries and other institutions in their process of researching and decision-making when considering implementing a management system for their digital collections.
Frank Lloyd Wright in the South: a Photographic Essay
(2017-05) Galbraith, Nora
The goal of this photographic essay was to capture some of Wright’s details and discover how he incorporated similar details throughout many of his buildings. Wright had a gift for the fine points and every building he designed brings to light his detail-oriented touch. Water features, light fixtures, planters, and built-in furniture were all uniquely created for each building, but all reveal the hand of Wright.
Stop! Don’t Share That Story!: Designing a Pop-Up Undergraduate Workshop on Fake News
(2017-10) Wade, Steven; Hornick, Julie N.
Social media is often seen as the fuel behind the firestorm of fake news. Instruction Librarians at Florida Southern College will discuss the design and structure of a “pop-up” class for students on fake news, with particular emphasis on sharing and social media.
ORCID: Using API Calls to Assess Metadata Completeness
(Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, 2017-10) Eichenlaub, Naomi; Morgan, Marina;
The aim of this poster is to demonstrate the importance of adequate metadata in ORCID profiles to ensure name disambiguation. It is only through more complete metadata that ORCID will ensure success in terms of interoperability with institutional scholarly, publishing and funding bodies.
Engaging Students with Rare Books at Florida Southern College
(2018-02-01) Wade, Steven; Morgan, Marina; Schaad, Gerrianne
Roux Library and McKay Archives took a traveling collection of rare books and documents, created an outreach and educational tool to provide students with hands on and engaged learning opportunities, and collaborated with teaching faculty to make the most of the visiting collection through class sessions and lectures.
Discovering What Works
(2018-02-10) Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Wade, Steven
Florida Southern College ran a live comparison of two major discovery platforms with a goal of choosing one based on cost, usability, and user preference. Results led to the selection of a system and feedback from the study led to upgrading the existing discovery system, refined data mapping, and strengthened connections between discovery and resources.
Designing a Successful Professional Development Initiative
(Learning Round Table of the American Library Association, 2018-03) Galbraith, Nora
The Teaching and Learning Center at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, offers professional development initiatives (PDI) to the faculty every fall and spring. For two years the librarians at Florida Southern’s Roux Library offered to conduct a PDI, but not enough faculty members signed up for the classes and they were canceled. To increase the appeal, we decided to rethink our proposal and considered what has been successful for us.
Augmenting Orientation: Animating an Interactive Welcome Event at an Academic Library with AR and VR
(Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2018-06-15) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven
The chapter begins with some background on the technological climate of the summer of 2016, and a consideration of library anxiety. We then discuss how we were led to choose the Aurasma augmented reality and Google Cardboard virtual reality apps based on student interest. The chapter will conclude with a description of how we set up the event. With this case study, we hope to provide similar organizations, as well as school or public libraries without extensive in-house IT support, but with enthusiastic library staff, with an easy-to-follow model of the planning process and steps taken to set up these interactive activities.
Professional or Predatory?: Distinguishing Legitimate from Illegitimate in an Era of Open Access
(2018-08-17) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, Marina
At the end of this presentation, you will distinguish the common practices and warning signs of predatory journals and conferences, along with readily available resources useful for avoiding predation and increasing the impact of your research. We will also discuss the Directory of Open Access Journals and SHERPA/RoMEO.
Stop! Don’t Share That Story!: Designing a Pop-Up Undergraduate Workshop on Fake News
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-10) Wade, Steven; Hornick, Julie N.
For the past few years librarians across the country have been leaders in the fight against fake news. This article describes an hour-long drop-in lesson given to undergraduate students on how to avoid falling victim to fake news. Particular emphasis is placed on how social media platforms contribute to the spread of bad information, and how students can alter their habits in order to help combat fake news in their own social circle. The lesson includes four engaged learning activities and can be taught without student access to computers. This low-tech approach is highly adaptable to different settings and class sizes. Students leave the session with the resources and knowledge to see past deceptive practices in the media and to take a more thoughtful approach to news consumption.
The Research Sprint: Faculty as Learners in an Academic Library
(2018-10) Galbraith, Nora; Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Schaad, Gerrianne; Wade, Steven
Traditionally, FSC librarians have offered professional development to campus faculty. However, as attendance at the workshop fell, the sessions were canceled. To revive interest, we found inspiration in a summer program we offer – the Faculty Research Marathon – when the library is reserved for faculty research and writing. Supplementing the Marathon format with information useful for faculty, we rebranded our workshops as a Research Sprint, with each session providing focused work time after a brief presentation about library resources. The PDI was successfully implemented, and sign-up numbers were high. Feedback was positive, with suggestions including a library tour for new faculty, handouts, and shortening the presentation time. Participants also requested resources to help track research and information on leveraging social media for research sharing.
