Keynote:
Challenges and Opportunities for Academic Libraries and Library
Education.
Gary Marchionini
Dean and
Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professor
UNC School of Information and Library Science
Academic libraries face enormous challenges due to rapidly evolving
information technologies, scarce economic resources, and fundamental
changes in the nature of patron and librarian work processes. Libraries
are pressed to manage and pay for print and electronic materials, to
digitize and maintain local unique collections, to create institutional
repositories and research data services, and to provide full ranges of
student and faculty instructional support. These challenges put
retraining stress on seasoned staff and demand new kinds of training for
newcomers.
The School of Information and Library Science at UNC has a strong
tradition of educating academic librarians and today is adapting its
programs to meet the changes in academic librarianship on several
fronts. As part of our ongoing educational program, we have held a
symposium and conference devoted to Information Professionals 2050; have
led a task force to develop a campus-wide research data stewardship
policy; have initiated an innovative, school-wide sandbox service called
the LifeTime Library; and are engaged in curriculum revision. The
challenges information educators and academic libraries share provide
rich opportunities to attract and educate the next generation of
academic librarians. |

Community Building Beyond the Library Building
Will Hansen, Assistant Curator of Collections, Duke
presentation
Biff Hollingsworth, Collecting and Public Programming Archivist, UNC
Marian Fragola, Director, Program Planning and Outreach, NCSU
presentation
What are the benefits and challenges when academic libraries engage with
the broader community? In this varied presentation about community
building, Will Hansen will discuss his experiences introducing "fan"
audiences to the comic book and role-playing game collections at Duke's
Rubenstein Library, Biff Hollingsworth will focus on how UNC Libraries
has capitalized on the visibility of the Civil War Sesquicentennial to
connect with the general public using blogs, Facebook and Twitter, and
Marian Fragola will discuss using off-campus venues like the public
library and the country club to strengthen the relationship between the
NCSU Libraries and the surrounding community.

Focusing on Students [multiple presentations]
A Case Study in Team-Based Learning presentation
(with notes)
Adrianne Leonardelli, Research & Education Librarian, Duke
Brandi Tuttle, Research & Education Librarian, Duke
Librarians are continually looking for new and effective ways to educate
students. Duke University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program
recently underwent massive curricular restructuring, transitioning from
a more traditional curriculum to Team-Based Learning (TBL). This
provided librarians an opportunity to collaborate with DPT faculty and
apply new instructional methodologies to our content. This presentation
will discuss the application of TBL to library instruction using a
recent Evidence-Based Practice Searching class as a case study. We will
examine the opportunities and challenges of creating a TBL session and
highlight potential future directions for TBL in library instruction.
Building and Sustaining a Mobile, Game-Based Library Orientation
presentation
Adrienne Lai, Fellow, Special Collections and User Experience, NCSU
Adam Rogers, Emerging Technology Services Librarian, NCSU
Hoping to enliven traditional library orientation, the NCSU Libraries
Mobile Scavenger Hunt uses game dynamics, iPods and free cloud-based
apps to orient students to library spaces, collections, and
technologies. The activity provides a low-stakes means to promote
resources and services critical to academic success and invites students
to explore the building and interact with staff. Since Fall 2011,
librarians have facilitated almost 100 scavenger hunts, reaching over
1,800 students, and the project won the 2012 ACRL ProQuest Innovation in
College Librarianship Award. Presenters will discuss the design process
and share tools, workflow management strategies and results.
Making the Connection with the Department of Residential Life presentation
Danielle Colbert-Lewis, Reference Librarian, NCCU
Hafsa Murad, Instruction/Reference Librarian, NCCU
This session will present how the James E. Shepard Memorial Library (Shepard
Library) at North Carolina Central University collaborated with the
Department of Residential Life in creating outreach opportunities. The
librarians at Shepard Library presented sessions to educate Residential
Life staff and students. Moreover, the librarians coordinated with
Resident Assistants to create a program for the resident hall students.
Using Contests to Introduce Students to the Library Collection
Patricia Dickerson, Student Services Librarian, NCCU presentation
NCCU Law Library has found success in engaging students with the
collection through the use of themed contests. Through the process of
developing and conducting several contests, lessons have been learned
and we now enjoy excellent student participation and engagement with
various parts of the collection. This presentation will discuss contest
development best practices, potential pitfalls, and marketing strategies
(along with visual aids). |

Librarianship in an Evolving Legal Environment
William Cross, Director, Copyright and Digital Scholarship Center, NCSU
presentation
Anne Gilliland, Scholarly Communications Officer, UNC
presentation
Kevin Smith, Director of Scholarly Communication, Duke
presentation
Librarians have been hearing a lot about legal issues recently. Judicial
decisions regarding streaming media and e-reserves, the Elsevier boycott
and White House petition on access to scholarship, and the ongoing
debate over digital preservation have all made headlines and will have a
major effect on our profession. Come hear the latest issues in library litigation
and open scholarship efforts, the way the law is changing, and what this
means for TRLN and all librarians. |

New Ways of Working [multiple presentations]
Learning from Iron Man
and the Terminator: Bringing Augmented Reality to Libraries
Markus Wust, Digital Collections and Preservation Librarian, NCSU
presentation
While most of us have in the past been exposed to Augmented Reality
(AR), it tended to be through Science Fiction literature and movies.
However, the emergence of advanced mobile devices with network
capabilities, cameras, GPS and other sensoring devices as well as the
requisite software platforms and services have made it increasingly easy
to implement AR in a variety of commercial, educational and
entertainment contexts. This presentation will provide a short
introduction to AR and discuss possible uses in GLAM institutions, such
as instruction, wayfinding or digital collections and exhibits.
NCSU Libraries Sharpens Focus on User Experience
Josh Boyer, Head, User Experience, NCSU
David Woodbury, Director of Learning Commons Services, NCSU
In 2012, NCSU Libraries brought together two teams, Learning Commons and
Web Services, into a single User Experience department. Prior to this,
user experience work had been taking place informally in discrete
pockets throughout the Libraries. The new department represents a
commitment to the creation and optimization of user experiences in both
physical and virtual environments. This session will briefly examine a
definition of user experience and its role in libraries, and then
discuss how the department came together and where it seeks to go,
including future projects, research, and challenges on the horizon.
Shared Collections, Shared Records? : Resource
Sharing at the Meta-Level
presentation
Charley Pennell, Principal Cataloger, NCSU
Natalie Sommerville, Head, Monographic Cataloging Section, Duke
Libraries share hundreds of thousands of titles through cooperative
collection-building and ILL, yet when it comes to acquiring descriptive
metadata to find these resources, we all go our separate ways, feeding
our individual ILS's with duplicate MARC records. This is not only
wasteful of disc space, but also of human resources, since we all have
to catalog, perform authority control, load, and maintain these records.
The TRLN Shared Records Project has enabled its four members to reduce
this effort for over 200,000 e-resource titles thus far, by assigning
cataloging responsibilities for sets to a single library which maintains
for all!
TRLN's Collaborative Manuscript Digitization:
Shifting Gears in Duke's Publication Process
Sean Aery, Digital Projects Developer, Duke presentation (with
notes)
The collaborative TRLN large-scale digitization project "Content,
Context, and Capacity (CCC)" has been a catalyst for Duke's Digital
Collections Program to create an alternate publication workflow that:
makes digitized content accessible directly via containers in the
finding aid; relies on the finding aid to provide context for the
materials; and enables iterative development of enhanced discovery
options for CCC materials. The presenter will: compare and contrast
Duke's CCC publication approach with that of UNC, NCSU, and NCCU;
discuss digitization workflow and user interaction implications; and
share metrics established by the CCC Evaluation Working Group to assess
outcomes. |
