President’s Message

“Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always im- pressed by their sheer awesomeness.” ― Neil Gaiman

President, Grace Carr-Benjamin I would like to personally welcome you AWESOME People to the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians (ASDAL) 36th Conference, and in particular, to the sunshine state of Florida, and even more excitedly to the amusement mecca of North America, Orlando!

ASDAL was established to engender and promote communication and partnership between Seventh-day Adventist Librarians and to highlight some of the great work that is being done on the various campuses from which you come. It is an exciting time to be a librarian, information professional. With new and emerging technologies, information can be made accessible to our customers in the formats they desire and with little delay.

The theme, “Information Literacy: Librarians as Agents of Transformation,” is so crucial to our very existence, which is to provide greater information access and dissemination. Once we are able get our patrons to a reasonable level of information literacy, our jobs will become much easier. The more information literate a person becomes, the better decisions they make. The year 2015 was wrought with many challenges, setbacks, heartbreaks and sorrow, but thanks be to God we are all here. We have lost some loved ones from among our ranks and members have lost loved ones that were very close to them; we pray that God will hold you up and give you strength to cope.

As president, working with the executive committee, I have managed to put in place some long overdue structures, such as the ability to register and pay your fees online. I wish to thank our treasurer for the hard work and efforts in making this a reality.

Each person who will present has spent a considerable amount of time in preparing, so I en- courage you to make the most of each presentation. I trust as we make new friends and experience the tours, that indeed ASDAL 2016 will be a memorable one. Have a great conference ALL! 4 36th Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians Conference WELCOME

President, David Greenlaw

Dear Conference Attendees:

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our beautiful campus here at Adventist University of Health Sciences (ADU), and to our extraordinary clinical partner next door – Florida Hospi- tal. Together we develop skilled healthcare professionals who live the healing values of Christ; thus, extending His healing ministry to the communities we serve.

This close collaboration between Adventist institutions, like ADU enjoys with Florida Hospi- tal, and the benefits it brings, is similar to what you hope to achieve at this year’s 36 th annual conference for the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians.

As you come together to share best practices and to advance your profession, it is my prayer that the presence of Christ will join you in a way that brings a special blessing to your proceedings.

Dr. David Greenlaw President, Adventist University of Health Sciences

The Seventh-day Adventist Medical Cadet Corps is a unique program in the history of religious conscientious objection to combat military service. But it is a story which is quickly being forgotten in an era of volunteer armed forces in many countries and options for alternative service in others. Riley is in the midst of a project to preserve MCC founder Everett Dick’s extensive papers related to his leadership of the program and housed at Union College , to survey resources available in other repositories, and to share this significant story with a new generation.

1:00 – 1:40 Adorée K. Hatton: “Ephemeral to Enduring: The Role of Archival Software in a Digital World”

Why is archiving transient material important? What does this mean to a small archives department? It is becoming increasingly important to use new and developing archival software to manage both born-digital collections and traditional collections. This presentation will introduce Collective Access soft ware, and discuss how our department chose it and implemented it. 1:40 – 2:15 Jim Ford: “Born Digital and Becoming Digital: Issues in Modern Adventist Resources”

As we advance into the digital century, more and more Adventist resource are available in digital format. Also, many of us are working to create digital files of material from pre-digital days. What to make of all of this? What should we be thinking about? 2:15 – 2:30 BREAK 2:30 – 3:15 Roy Kline: “Do We Really Need a Record Retention Schedule? In Any Event, How Difficult Could It Possibly Be to Devise One?”

Reasons for devising and implementing a Record Retention Schedule within your organization and how to galvanize support for same. Components touched on include strategic issues, data gathering, structuring your Retention Schedule, record series development, and factors to evaluate for determining retention periods. Finally, your Retention Schedule is in place and now you’re done - or are you? What you’ll need to do after the schedule is in place. Lessons learned from going through the entire process. 3:15 – 3:45 Lori N. Curtis: “Do We Need Another Form?” To be an archivist, must one love to create and use forms? Probably not -- but it doesn’t hurt. This presentation will highlight some of the forms that we in the Department of Archives and Special Collections at Loma Linda University have created and found useful in the day-to-day organization and running of the department. The staff (and by that I mostly mean me) have become quite adept at creating fillable and distributable forms via Adobe Acrobat Professional. Experiences and examples will be shared. Forms from other Adventist institutions will be available for perusal.

Creating Effective and Engaging Video Tutorials” Video tutorials have emerged as a common method to convey our information literacy goals to both on and off campus students. They empower students to learn on their own schedules and terms, while providing a comfortable learning environment.

12 36th Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians Conference PROGRAM Tuesday, June 21

4:15 - 4:45 Kieren Bailey: "Flip or Flop: Student Perspectives on the Flipped Classroom Approach”

The flipped classroom approach can be defined as “obtaining core content prior to coming to class” (Burke 2015). This pedagogical approach is highly recommended throughout the education field as a useful tool to enhance learning and increase student engagement (Burke, 2015). Academic librarians have found this approach to be very helpful when dealing with one-shot instructional sessions. While the flipped classroom approach allows a librarian to include more activities to increase student engagement in the class session, students are required to have completed homework before coming to the library. How do students feel about the homework? Do they feel like they are prepared for the activities in class? Do the students feel like they have learned more during a flipped classroom session? This paper will critically review recent studies that researched student reactions to the flipped classroom approach, including their reaction to homework.

4:45 – 5:15 Sheila Clark and Darel Bennedbaek: “Perception So Far: Student Perspectives and the Library”

The goal of this research project being undertaken by Sheila Clark and Darel Bennedbaek is to look at the perspectives that students at a small Christian university have about their library and how those perspectives affect usage and the students’ individual performance in the university setting. Besides examining the link between the library and students, we also hope to be able to identify ways in which we can incorporate students’ perspectives and pro vide services that may pre-empt some of the constantly changing needs of students. This is a mixed-methods study that uses both qualitative interviews and quantitative data, including data from an annual survey and student GPAs.

Tour Day

Our tour day will include a trip to the past, the future and the best in library innovation. The past is showcased at the Orange County History Museum located in the renovated 1927 courthouse in downtown Orlando. A trip to Florida Polytechnic University will be a glimpse of the future. There is nothing traditional about this campus; think space ship. Their library has no physical books. Envision space and light. To experience the best in library innovation we will visit the Melrose Center at the Orange County Public Library. Audio, video and photography studios are set up for patron use. Each also has editing capabilities. There is a lab for 3D printing, computer programing and robotics. And finally, The Harriet F. Ginsburg Health Sciences Library at Lake Nona is a state of-the-art facility.

8:00 – 8:30 Worship: Don Williams, Head of Office of Mission at ADU

8:30 – 9:00 Lauren R. Matacio and Bruce Closser: "Connect or Disconnect: Collabo- rating with Faculty to Transform Information Literacy"

Teachers and librarians occupy different terrain on a university campus, yet they fight many of the same battles. Both want to enhance student learning through information literacy, writing, critical thinking, and problem solving. Despite these common goals, many times librarians and teachers seem to be at cross purposes. This is unfortunate, be cause research shows that research and writing are best supported when librarians and teachers collaborate closely. This presentation looks at teacher/librarian collaboration in general and draws specific lessons from the two-year experience of a librarian embedded into an advanced college writing class.

9:00 – 9:30 Jessica Spears: "The Recomposing of Information Literacy: How McKee Library Changed English 102"

McKee Library’s instruction team has had a close working relationship with the college composition professors for many years and has often led multiple instruction sessions for each course during a given semes- ter. The library team quickly noticed that the use of “edutainment” failed to produce students that possessed practical information literacy skills after completing the library classes. In an effort to improve those necessary skills, several new strategies were developed and implemented over the past three semesters, including the inclusion of an embedded librarian service, the transition from activity based lectures to workshop class sessions, advanced integration of bibliographic and research tools, and the availability of tutorials in multiple electronic formats. This presentation will explore how the instruction team came together to reconfigure composition instruction on campus.

PROGRAM Thursday, June 23

9:30 – 10:00 Alfredo Vergel: "Circulating iPads and Access to Electronic Content"

Aiming to improve access to its collection of electronic resources, the library at Southwestern Adventist University established an iPad-lending program during the fall of 2016 with funding provided by the Texas State Library & Archives Commission (TSLAC) under its Impact Grant program. The project, made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to TSLAC under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, was especially expected to improve access to the library’s e-book collection. Results provide a case study in the extent to which lending e-readers increases the use of electronic resources.

POSTER SESSION

POSTER SESSION Sunday, June 19, 6:30p.m.– 8:00p.m.

Terry Dwain Robertson M.A., M.L.S., Seminary Librarian, James White Library, Andrews University, 1998-.

Title: Objective Research? In the Seminary?

Abstract: Common understandings of “objective” research include values such as “factual” and “interpretive neutrality”. There is a growing consensus that the person doing the research counts as much as if not more in the interpretive outcomes than the “facts” alone, and that “interpretive neutrality” is not possible.

The poster explores an alternative framing of “objective research” as the grounded, intention- al, and savvy analysis of an “object” in conversation with a community of peers/experts for the purpose of creating knowledge.

Following Ferraris’ ontology, three classes of “objects” exist.

Natural objects: exist whether or not a person notices them. Example: table, tree. Seminary application: archaeological artifacts. Ideal objects: exist even though only a mind can conceive of them. Example: triangle. Semi- nary application: systematic theology. Social objects: only exist in a social context. Example: documents (authored by a person for a reader in a specific context for a purpose). Seminary application: Biblical exegesis, church history, Christian ministry, missiology.

Lauren Matacio Instruction Librarian, Andrews University

Title: A New Portrait of Ellen White

Abstract: A new portrait of Ellen White painted by Andrews University artist, Harry Ahn, was unveiled in James White Library on October 26, 2015. This poster celebrates that event and includes a number of photographs of and about Ellen G. White found in the Center for Adventist Research.

An avid public speaker, Ms. Palmer has served in various capacities on the executive committee of the Library and Information Association of Jamaica and civic boards in her community. She enjoys travelling with her daughter, Mikaela, playing table tennis, and reading.

Title: IL(L) @ Ease: Making the Case for Information Literacy Delivery at Northern Caribbean Uni- versity

Abstract: UNESCO’s document on media and information literacy posits that individuals, “must… (also) possess basic skills for critical thinking, to analyse and use them for self- expression, for becoming independent learners, producers, informed citizens, professionals and participants in the governance and democratic processes of their societies.” It has been on this premise that librarians at Northern Caribbean University have long recog- nised the imperative of creating a culture of information literacy on campus. This recognition, however, has taken some time to translate into the reality of having a formalised programme of IL delivery to our community. Presently, the method used to reach faculty and students is less than satisfactory due to various factors. This poster will serve to identify some of the varia- bles that now mitigate against our best intentions to create awareness of how being information literate is advantageous to the university citizen. It will also identify the sources of help for us as librarians as we work towards the dispelling IL(L) ease we feel that our students are not sufficiently prepared to make judicious information decisions both in their educational ca- reers and the waiting world of work. 20 36th Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians Conference

PRESENTERS (Continued)

Lori N. Curtis has been an inveterate book lover her entire life and thus was probably destined to be a librarian. After graduating from Pacific Union College in 1980, she took a year off to work at the Adventist Media Center and then on to graduate school at the University of California – Riverside, where she majored in English History and Early Modern European History. After receiving her MA in 1983, she began work towards her doctorate, but the birth of her son in 1984 put that effort on temporary hold. At this point Lori realized that rare book and man- uscript librarianship would be a profession that would combine her love of history and books, and so in 1985, she applied and was accepted into the Library Science program at the University of California – Los Angeles, where she focused on special collections and archives administration. Lori remembers starting classes on her son’s first birthday! Upon graduation in 1987, Lori accepted the position as Assistant Curator of Special Collections at the University of Tulsa (Oklahoma), ending her tenure there as Head of Special Collections and Archives in mid- January of 2006. At that time she moved back to California to accept the position as Archivist at Loma Linda University. Soon she found herself in the position of Associate Chair, Department of Special Collections and Archives, and then Chair, the position she currently holds in addition to being Co-Director of the Heritage Research Center. Her nearly 30-year career in rare books, manuscripts, archives, and more has never been dull – wonderful materials to work with and interesting people to meet. But she still needs to get back to that doctorate!

Jim Ford serves as the Associate Director of the Andrews University Center for Adventist Research in Berrien Springs, Michigan, a position he has held since 2003. Prior to that he was the Curator, Adventist Heritage Center, also at An- drews University. He also served at the General Conference Archives for a number of years.

RETIRING

30 36th Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians Conference RETIRING ASDAL MEMBERS

Bruce McClay School of Nursing Librarian Walla Walla University Retired: December 30, 2015

Bruce McClay joined the WWU Libraries in June of 2000 as the (SON) Portland School of Nursing Librarian. His philosophy of service, “actively put students first,” revitalized the library and made it a growing, vibrant place for students to gather, work, and research. This strong service orientation played a key role in reshaping the library’s role and use on the Portland campus. During his tenure, the library received accreditation commendations from both the Oregon State Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

For 15 years Bruce ably served the nursing students and faculty on the Portland Campus, retiring in December of 2015. He provided excellent reference service, knew the students by name, and was interested in their academic and personal success. Students demonstrated their appreciation for Bruce’s contribution to their education by twice asking him to provide the Nurses Dedication address during graduation weekend.

An excellent colleague, Bruce spent hours on the phone listening to and participating in weekly library faculty meetings with the librarians on the College Place campus. This was a dedicated and heroic effort since few topics pertained specifically to the SON Library. His sense of humor helped us lighten up and was especially appreciated when difficulties threat- ened to overwhelm. Bruce also served the university as a member of such committees as Governance and Learning Resources (Portland).

ASDAL was also the recipient of his many talents. Bruce made many presentations at ASDAL conferences and served on a number of committees. As President-Elect for 2003-2004, he organized the 24th annual conference, which was held at Florida Hospital College, now Ad- ventist University of Health Sciences. As President during 2004-2005, he presided over the business sessions for the 25th annual conference held at Union College. Notably, Bruce was a 1995 recipient of the D. Glenn Hilts Scholarship.

Bruce published articles in and reviewed books for ASDAL Action and served as the WWU Libraries Public Relations Coordinator. In this role, he actively wrote and solicited articles from WWU librarians and staff for both ASDAL Action and the ACRL-Washington Newsletter. In 2002, Bruce served as a Senior Subject Advisor for The Best Books for Academic Libraries:

RETIRING ASDAL MEMEBERS (continued)

Serving as a lay pastor for the Oregon Conference, Bruce spent Sabbaths preaching at various churches, often including nursing students in his presentation. He and his wife, Mary, provided a devotional about the Portland nursing students for the WWU Board of Trustees at one of the meetings held on the Portland campus.

While officially retired, Bruce continues to serve Adventist librarianship and Walla Walla Uni- versity. Spring 2016 found him teaching a four hour course, History of Western Civilization, Monday and Tuesday evenings, on the Portland campus. Additionally, he went to Union Col- lege during the winter of 2016, and as Sabrina wrote in the most recent ASDAL Action, “We are equally pleased that Bruce McClay has agreed to help Union College this winter in the area of Public Services. I know his wealth of experience and warm personality will be a blessing to our students and staff alike. Bruce plans to be here until sometime in early to mid-March.”

Retirement celebrations for Bruce were held on the Portland campus in December, 2015, and the College Place campus in May, 2016.

Marsha Rasmussen Electronic Resources and Technical Services Librarian Southwestern University Retires: June 30, 2016

Marsha Rasmussen, Associate Librarian will be retiring from Southwestern on June 30, 2016. Marsha has served in Seventh-day Adventist denominational employment for over 28 years. Marsha began employment at Southwestern as Reference and Cir- culation Librarian and has served in her current position as Electronic Resources and Tech- nical Services Librarian for the past eight years.

In retirement, Marsha would like to teach adult literacy. She also looks forward to more time with family, starting on a bucket list of a long queue of craft projects, more responsibilities in church, and travel with her husband looking for the perfect photograph.

Please join me in congratulating Marsha on her upcoming retirement and thanking her for her years of dedication and commitment to Southwestern Adventist University! 32 36th Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians Conference

Adu Worku Director Pacific Union College Retires: June 30, 2016

No one knows the transforming power of education better than Adu Worku. Worku’s path to PUC’s Nelson Memorial Library began in Northwest Ethiopia, where his peasant farmer parents taught him an agrarian life. The bright, curious young farmer would have followed in his illiterate parents’ footsteps if not for a freak eye accident that was treated at a far away Seventh day Adventist hospital. While there, he observed children attending school, and Worku, then fifteen, became determined to learn.

Worku graduated from eighth grade at age 22 and high school at age 26. He received his bachelor’s degree from Avondale College, two masters’ degrees from Andrews University, and his Masters in Library Science from the University of Southern California. In 2009, he received an honorary doctorate in human letters from Southwestern Adventist University.

He came to PUC in 1985 as Science Librarian and has been serving as Library Director since 1993. He has given back to generations of students and the Angwin community. Worku, also a talented musician, poet, and author, didn’t forget about his village in Ethiopia. The Worku Jenber School he established now educates hundreds of boys and girls, giving them the same transformational gift of education he received long ago.

RETIRING ASDAL MEMBERS (continued)

Jenny Alleyne Serials and Instruction Adventist University of Health Sciences Retires: December 31, 2016

The R.A. Williams Library at Adventist University would like to honor Jennifer Alleyne’s dedication to serving others. Jenny has been at Adventist University of Health Sciences since 2001, just celebrating her 15th year. She has been a serials librarian, taught research and reference classes, catalogued, and recently served as the Head of Liaison & Instructional Services. In 2003 she attained her Masters Degree in Library Science from University of South Florida, and also joined ASDAL. But this was not Jenny’s first career.

1974 was a big year for Jenny. She moved from her home in Trinidad to Toronto, Canada, where she attended York University, ultimately graduating with an English degree. During her time in Toronto, Jenny worked in the court system, met and married her husband Rex in 1976, and eventually had two children, Marixa and Marx. Rex’s career in banking took the family to Trinidad, back to Canada, and then to Central Florida. While in Trinidad, Jenny taught lan- guages again at the high school level, as she had done before her move to Toronto. In all she taught for 14 years and was often the favorite of her students. With the move to Orlando, Jen- ny attended Webster University and earned a degree in healthcare management. Then she began her library career.

Jenny has personified stewardship at Adventist University. Growing up as one of 14 children in Trinidad, she learned to value resources early. Whenever there is leftover food at a university event, Jenny looks for someone who may be hungry and does not let the food go to waste; she is a friend to those in need. We celebrate her life of service in the classroom, courtroom, and library.
