Phelps ([email protected]) Washington State University Vancouver Heidi E. K. Senior ([email protected]) University of Portland Karen R. Diller ([email protected]) Washington State University Vancouver Abstract Background: Over the last twenty-five years the focus of public services librarianship has migrated to- ward teaching. Often librarians are not aware of how neighboring institutions are managing that transi- tion. The authors report the results from a survey of information literacy instruction and IL programs in libraries at institutions belonging to the Orbis Cascade Alliance, a consortium in the northwestern United States. Methods: After a literature review and round of testing, a survey link was sent to a contact person at each institution. Results: 38 survey responses were obtained from a range of academic libraries in size and scope. Twenty-seven respondents have had an information literacy program for more than five years; four respondents had had a formal information literacy program for fewer than three years. Seven respondents reported that they did not have an IL program Conclusions: Librarians vary widely in the number of sessions they teach; one-shot sessions are still the most frequent mode of instruction; over half of Alliance libraries’ institutions have a written statement of objectives for information literacy; the use of active learning and technology is increasing; and librarians continue to struggle with student learning and instructional program assessment.

  • Patron-Driven Acquisition
    Doyle: Patron-Driven Acquisition Patron-Driven Acquisition – Working Collaboratively in a Consortial Environment: An Interview with Greg Doyle Greg Doyle ([email protected]) Electronic Resources Program Manager, Orbis Cascade Alliance Cory Tucker ([email protected]) “From the Field” Section Editor Abstract Patron-driven acquisition models for electronic and print books have become extremely popular in the past two years and in most cases this service has been implemented at many individual libraries. One unique collaborative model of patron-driven acquisition was created by the Orbis Cascade Alliance through a partnership with Ebook Library (EBL) and Yankee Book Peddler (YBP). This unique project is an example of libraries, consortia, and vendors working together to develop new business models during times of financial constraint, where libraries and consortia are exploring various “just-in-time” acquisi- tion models. Collaborative Librarianship spoke with Greg Doyle about the project at Orbis Cascade.

  • Alliance-NWACC Accessibility Survey Report July 2019
    Alliance-NWACC Joint Accessibility Working Group Survey Report Introduction The Orbis Cascade Alliance (Alliance) and Northwest Academic Computing Consortium (NWACC) are working together to further our common goal of ensuring that digital resources and services are accessible to our users. A joint Accessibility Working Group (AWG) was formed to develop collaborative activities related to support for digital accessibility. The overarching goal identified by the AWG is to foster regional collaboration and information exchange among our member institutions. The purpose of the accessibility survey is to gauge priorities for collaborative activities, and gather information about resources and expertise that institutions may be able to share. The survey was distributed to member CIOs and Library Deans/Directors in March 2019. Because responsibility for digital accessibility is highly distributed in our institutions, recipients were encouraged to distribute the survey widely and solicit as many responses as possible. 167 individuals from 35 member institutions responded to the survey, representing a wide variety of institutions and organizational units. Most respondents play multiple roles in supporting accessibility at their institutions, including direct support for people with accessibility needs, creating accessible web resources, working with vendors and contracts to ensure accessibility standards are met, and generally working to ensure regulatory compliance. Accessibility support roles do vary, depending on the organizational division of the respondent, but there is substantial overlap in the top five responses. Nearly half of the respondents identified understanding accessibility best practices as one of their top three institutional priorities. Other high priorities include raising awareness & educating the community, collaborating across institutional departments, understanding evolving compliance requirements, and helping faculty provide accessible resources.

  • Library-Collection-Development-Policy 2014.(April
    GFU LIBRARIES COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY Purpose of the Collection Development Policy The collection development policy is intended to provide an overall plan for the development of the collections at George Fox University’s libraries. This document will outline the principles, policies, and guidelines used in building the collections. It will define the scope of the collection and will serve as a guide to those involved in building and developing it. Brief Description of the Libraries The Murdock Learning Resource Center (MLRC) is a 35,000 square foot structure located on the University's main campus in Newberg. The Newberg campus is the site of the University's traditional undergraduate programs as well as several graduate programs. The Portland Center library (PCL) contains 12,500 square feet. George Fox Evangelical Seminary, graduate counseling programs, some graduate education programs, and the undergraduate Adult Degree Programs meet at the University’s Portland Center. While physically separate, the University's libraries function as one administrative unit. The ordering, receiving, cataloging, and processing of collection materials occurs through centralized operations at the MLRC. Students and faculty can conveniently request materials be sent from one library to the other through the online catalog, and a daily courier service runs between the two sites. The library also serves students in online classes, and at Salem and Redmond sites. The University does not maintain libraries at these sites but offers library services and resources to students in a variety of ways, including full text online via extensive e-resources. User Groups The primary borrowing groups at George Fox University are: • Students • Faculty and all staff Other groups for the Newberg campus are: • Retired faculty • Retired staff • Quaker or Newberg-area ministers • Spouses of GFU faculty/staff • GFU board members • Spouses of GFU board members • Bon Apetit food service employees • GFU alumni • Spouses of GFU student • Teachers in GFU Education Consortium district • C.S.
