Although you may think that this theme will have less attention at the conference, there are quite interesting sessions! The role of library services in teaching and learning is growing, that is what you can see in this programme. Here is my selection:
10:30 a.m. - 11:20 a.m.
The DPubS Development Project: Building an Open Source Electronic Publishing System
The DPubS development project, a partnership between libraries at Cornell and Penn State, aims to provide libraries, university presses, and other independent publishers with an open-source online publishing system. This presentation will describe the history and functionality of DPubS, the proposed development plans, and the challenges the project faces.
2:15 p.m. - 3:05 p.m.
What Universities Can Do to Use Shared, Ubiquitously Accessible Storage
Open-standards Web technology allows institutions to provide storage accessible "from any place, at any time, to anyone" (with appropriately authenticated authorization). We will present and compare three universities' (Boston College; University of California, Irvine; and University of Texas at Austin) deployments of such services, based on the WebDAV protocol, to meet differing institutional needs and constituencies.
Transformations: Mount Holyoke's Class Project Becomes a Digital Archive
Mount Holyoke College will present a case study of a faculty-initiated and grant-funded digital project that was developed into a sustainable digital resource by multiple departments. The panelists (archivist, library systems manager, and network manager) will offer a successful tale of open and collaborative work using minimal resources.
Developing Legal and Policy Frameworks to Sustain Digital Scholarship
Scholars producing complex born-digital scholarship need new models of institutional support, including different distribution channels for finished projects. Libraries are thus expanding their roles beyond archiving to include technical and legal developmental support and dissemination. What policy frameworks are needed when we commit to stable, long-term collection of digital scholarship?
2:15 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Library/IT Partnerships
This Constituent Group meeting will provide a forum for discussing management issues unique to the collaborative efforts now required of librarians and IT managers. This will be an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas regarding potential partnerships such as training, working with information providers, delivering services, providing support for instructional technology and multimedia, and supporting campus-wide information systems.
3:50 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Getting IDEAS: Liberal Arts Colleges Collaborating on Digital Collections for Asian Studies
Collaborators at four liberal arts colleges have created a Web-accessible curricular resource, the Image Database to Enhance Asian Studies (IDEAS), made up of four collections of digital materials. Faculty members, librarians, and technologists worked together with support from the Midwest Instructional Technology Center to develop standards for and implement IDEAS.
4:55 p.m. - 6:10 p.m.
Peer to Peer File Sharing
Current Issues Roundtable
Handheld Devices in the Library Setting
Poster Session - Emerging Technologies
Bookmarklets and Your Library: How to Search Your Catalog from Any Web Page
Poster Session - Library
Bookmarklets use Javascript to enable the user to quickly and easily gain access to library resources from any Web page by selecting a word or phrase and clicking on the bookmark. Bookmarklets can be made for a library catalog, a link resolver, or any electronic resource that accepts a search string as input.
Information Literacy on a Shoestring
Poster Session - Library
By modifying open-source materials and incorporating assessment through Blackboard, Concordia University incorporated information literacy into a required freshman course. Other than a minimum investment of time by the library and instructional design staff, the project required no additional financial investment by the university.
Mainstreaming the Electronic Theses Production Work Flow Using DigiTool
Poster Session - Library
McGill University is engaged in a pilot e-theses project designed to transform the current print-based theses processing model into an electronic one. Staff are designing a model for converting, cataloging, and disseminating the institution's e-theses. This poster session will provide a detailed work flow chart and provide a model for migrating to e-theses.
More Than a Collection: Real Libraries for Students at Online Universities
Poster Session - Library
Nontraditional universities without a physical library can offer online collections to their remote students. But how well are they providing the full array of library services? Two reviewers of online institutions describe models of online libraries, identify factors in their success, and suggest how traditional libraries can learn from them.
When is Multimedia Not the Answer? When Faculty Expertise and Instructional Design Fundamentals Unite!
Poster Session - Library
Librarians have expertise in reference, research, and faculty support, but not necessarily in instructional design, writing for the Web, or multimedia development. Are multimedia tutorials the solution to frequently asked questions about library resources? Not necessarily, especially when library faculty expertise can converge with instructional and Web design fundamentals for timely, targeted, cost-effective virtual answers.
A Community of Practice: Integrating Information and Computer Literacy at Purdue University
Poster Session - Teaching and Learning
Faculty and librarians at Purdue University collaborated to integrate information and computer literacy into the freshman composition curriculum. The impact of skill development on student performance was measured using both qualitative and quantitative scales, including the Information and Computer Technology Literacy Assessment developed by the Educational Testing Service.
Equal Library Opportunities: Insights for Off-Site Programs
Poster Session - Teaching and Learning
Xavier University librarians offer students in off-site programs equitable library services and support. Collaborating with faculty, the librarians establish a presence in off-site programs by linking to electronic reserves, subject guides, online chat, search strategy worksheets, instructional videos, and xu.tutor--all delivered to off-site students through the campus portal.
