Item The Aha Moments of the Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute(American Library Association, 2015-05) Galbraith, Nora; Thompson, EridanWe 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.Item 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, StevenThe 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.Item Author identifier analysis: Name authority control in two institutional repositories(International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, 2018-11-05) Morgan, MarinaThe aim of this poster is to analyze name authority control in two institutional repositories to determine the extent to which faculty researchers are represented in researcher identifier databases. A purposive sample of 50 faculty authors from Florida Southern College (FSC) and Ryerson University (RU) were compared against five different authority databases: Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), Scopus, Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). We first analyzed the results locally, then compared them between the two institutions. The findings show that while LCNAF and Scopus results are comparable between the two institutions, the difference in the ORCID, VIAF, and ISNI are considerable. Additionally, the results show that the majority of authors at each institution are represented in two or three external databases. This has implications for enhancing local authority data by linking to external identifier authority data to augment institutional repository metadata.Item Bringing a small archival collection to life on the web: Remembering the real Winnie(DCMI, 2015-09-05) Wilson, Sally; Morgan, MarinaThe 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.Item Cimarrón and Philmont(Arcadia Publishing, 2012) MacDonald, Randall M.; Lamm, Gene; MacDonald, Sarah E.Item Designing a Successful Professional Development Initiative(Learning Round Table of the American Library Association, 2018-03) Galbraith, NoraThe 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.Item Digital Asset Management Systems: Open Source or Not Open Source?(Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, 2016-10) Morgan, Marina; Eichenlaub, NaomiThe 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.Item Discovering What Works(2018-02-10) Hornick, Julie N.; Morgan, Marina; Wade, StevenFlorida 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.Item Engaging Students with Rare Books at Florida Southern College(2018-02-01) Wade, Steven; Morgan, Marina; Schaad, GerrianneRoux 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.Item Frank Lloyd Wright in the South: a Photographic Essay(2017-05) Galbraith, NoraThe 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.Item Improve the Batch Cataloging at Your Library: MarcEdit to the Rescue(Ontario Library Association, 2016-01) Morgan, Marina; Storova, HanaThis 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.Item Integrating Library Services in Your Teaching and Research(Florida Southern College, 2016-09) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, MarinaItem Moving to Linked Data: Cataloguing Outside the (MARC) Box(Ontario Library Association, 2015) Bigellow, Ian; Boileau, Stacey; Emon, Danielle; Leung, Rosina; Morgan, Marina; Sillius, IreneLinked 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.Item New Take on Name Authority Control in a Digital Repository(2019-01-26) Morgan, MarinaThe focus of the presentation is the analysis of name authority control in the Florida Southern College Digital Repository to determine the extent to which faculty researchers are represented in researcher identifier databases. A purposive sample of 50 faculty authors were compared against five different databases: Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), Scopus, Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), and International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). The findings show that while LCNAF and Scopus results are comparable, the difference in the ORCID, VIAF, and ISNI are considerable. Additionally, the results show that the majority of authors are represented in two or three external databases. This has implications for enhancing local authority data by linking to external identifier authority data to augment institutional repository metadata.Item ORCID ids in the open knowledge era(Springer International Publishing, 2021-05-21) Morgan, Marina; Eichenlaub, NaomiThe focus of this poster is to highlight the importance of sufficient metadata in ORCID records for the purpose of name disambiguation. In 2017 the authors counted ORCID iDs containing minimal information. They invoked RESTful API calls using Postman software and searched ORCID records created between 2012–2017 that did not include affiliation or organization name, Ringgold ID, and any work titles. A year later, they reproduced the same API calls and compared with the results achieved the year before. The results reveal that a high number of records are still minimal or orphan, thus making the name disambiguation process difficult. The authors recognize the benefit of a unique identifier that facilitates name disambiguation and remain confident that with continued work in the areas of system interoperability and technical integration, alongside continued advocacy and outreach, ORCID will grow and develop not only in number of iDs but also in metadata robustness.Item 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.Item Professional or Predatory?: Distinguishing Legitimate from Illegitimate in an Era of Open Access(2018-08-17) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, MarinaAt 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.Item Professional or Predatory?: Distinguishing Legitimate from Illegitimate in an Era of Open Access(2019-05-16) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, MarinaThis session covers the common practices and warning signs of predatory journals and conferences, and highlights resources useful for avoiding predation. Attendees will leave with a model for communicating the characteristics of predatory publishing practices and conferences with librarians, faculty, students, and researchers.Item Professional or Predatory?: Distinguishing Legitimate from Illegitimate in an Era of Open Access(2022-01-07) Hornick, Julie N.; Wade, Steven; Morgan, MarinaOf interest to faculty who publish or present at conferences, this session examines 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, a community-curated list that aims to be the starting point for all searches for quality, peer-reviewed, open access material, and SHERPA/RoMEO, an online aggregator and analyzer of publisher open access policies from around the world that provides summaries of self-archiving permissions and conditions of rights given to authors on a journal-by-journal basis.Item 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.
