IF ONLY I COULD GET OUT OF HERE!” The Construction of “White Slavery” as a Social Problem in Progressive-Era Chicago http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/26 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/26 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:07:53 PDT This paper presentation draws from my dissertation research, in which I examined how Progressive-Era Chicago social reformers constructed prostitution as a social problem. I specifically discuss the rhetorical persuasiveness of the “white slavery” construction, which is primarily examined in Chapter 3 of my dissertation.

Swygart-Hobaugh M.L.S., Ph.D. Towards Virtual Information Literacy: Academic Librarian Integration into Teacher Education Distance Learning Programs http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/25 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/25 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:37:57 PST Having convenient, instant access to electronic library resources in academia is excellent as research can be conducted literally anywhere and at any time; however, a level of user self-direction is required for optimal results, creating the need for librarian interaction to guide the user towards acquiring this self-direction most effectively. As more institutions add online degree programs, it is essential that librarians are integrated within so that participating students have access to the same (or at least, equivalent) library resources and services as those who are on campus, and also develop sound research skills for information literacy acquisition. Although librarians have been involved in distance learning for decades, emerging technology has allowed for a more substantial emphasis on librarian involvement in distance learning. This is evidenced by such trends as job responsibilities expanding to include distance learning activities, libraries adding Distance Learning Librarian positions, online library services such as virtual reference and instruction, and journals focusing on library services in distance learning.

To meet this need, bibliometric tools within online subscription databases, search engines, and software applications offer indices, graphs, and other exciting data that can make a strong case for tenure across the disciplines. Because libraries offer access to these resources and librarians have the expertise in usage, these tools can be effectively shared with faculty via workshops, online research guides, and individual assistance.

Promotion and tenure outreach offers major benefits to both faculty and librarians. Faculty acquire access to online tools that can show comprehensive scholarly impact and elevate their case for tenure; and librarians can demonstrate their value by acting as a partner in research with faculty on a different level beyond the traditional method of resource assistance. In the LIS literature, promotion and tenure outreach has not been specifically defined as such until this study.

At a majority of institutions, the library is the entity that takes on the responsibility of organizing and maintaining the repository. As the nature and purpose of IRs has evolved over time, the opportunities and challenges for units within the library have also shifted. What has been the impact of IRs on academic libraries and specifically, on technical services functions within the library? What are some of the contributions technical services units can make to insure the success of an IR? This talk will address these questions and explore the changes in professional roles, resources and organizational structures that are currently taking place in academic libraries to support IR programs.

Burtle Using Library Swipe-Card Data to Inform Decision Making http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/21 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/21 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 09:11:27 PDT Georgia State University (GSU) affiliates must swipe their campus ID cards at turnstiles in order to enter the University Library buildings. The swipe verifies the individual is a GSU affiliate and unlocks the turnstile for entry. With each swipe, data such as year in school, major, and GPA are sent to a database. The library partnered with Advanced Campus Services, (ACS), GSU‟s high-performance, research computing unit, to create a tool to access the data. The end product has been a valuable tool for the library, one that has been used to inform staffing and operating hours decisions, as well as produce reports for campus stakeholders.

Assessing the Value of Non-text Resources http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/19 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/19 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:23:54 PDT In this era of tightening budgets, librarians are increasingly turning to usage data from licensed resource providers to support difficult collection development decisions. The most recent release of the COUNTER code of practice for usage data reporting and the SUSHI XML protocol further support this decision-making process. Providing "COUNTER compliant" usage reports is an increasingly important feature expected of licensed digital materials by academic libraries. COUNTER reports are designed to primarily measure usage of textual resources such as: journals, e-books and database indexes. However, for multimedia resources that contain exclusively images, time-based media, or audio content, the usage patterns and terminology are different than textual materials. The COUNTER reports do not yet adequately address these differences. The purpose of this session was to explore the unique needs and challenges of reporting and effectively evaluating the usage of multimedia resources. It looked at some of the gaps in the existing COUNTER code of practice that would need to be addressed in order for multimedia resources to adopt these reporting standards and perform a similarly useful assessment function for libraries. It also pointed out some of the complexities of multimedia resource usage, including the challenge of evaluating the substantial use that occurs outside of the measurable environment, and measuring the new types of use made possible by robust online environments.

Developing Effective Scholarly Communication Advocates: The Experiences of Three University Librarians in Developing Scholarly Communication Programs http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/14 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/univ_lib_facpres/14 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:02:13 PDT Libraries are broadening their involvement in the scholarly communication process by advocating author rights and open-access publishing, as well as providing researchers with digital services, such as institutional repositories and e-publishing programs. Academic librarians are in a good position to help raise awareness on their campuses of important scholarly communication training and outreach programs. By training those who work most closely with faculty, libraries are more likely to develop effective scholarly communication advocates. Thus prepared, librarians and library staff can better inform faculty members about their individual and collective options regarding scholarly communication issues.
