NYLA President Conference Chair 3 2018 NYLA Conference Catalog Keynote Address Leah Esguerra & Jennifer Keys Thursday, November 8, 9:00 – 10:15 AM Convention Center, Grand Lilac Ballroom North Our Voices Together: How Conversations Create Change Everything changed when an urban library program began working in tandem with a professional social worker… In 2009, the San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Department of Public Health entered into an innovative program that started with an unusual partnership. This pairing resulted in the placement of a Leah Esguerra licensed social worker, Leah Esguerra at the Main Library to link homeless patrons to housing and social services. Collaborative efforts between an urban public library and community-based organizations were instrumental in achieving new breakthroughs with an underserved population of patrons that librarians traditionally struggled to assist. Plus, a job-training component was added, providing opportunities for people who were formerly homeless to return to the work force. Library outreach worker Jennifer Keys own captivating story of resilience will inspire you to addressing issues of homelessness, poverty, and life challenges that many of our patrons face each day.

  • Educating the Academic Librarian As a Blended Professional: a Review and Case Study

    Educating the Academic Librarian As a Blended Professional: a Review and Case Study

    Educating the Academic Librarian as a Blended Professional: A Review and Case Study Professor Sheila Corrall Head of Department and Chair in Librarianship & Information Management University of Sheffield Introduction The challenges and opportunities facing academic librarians are continually changing as changes occur in the operating environment at both global and institutional levels. Key trends affecting their roles and skills include convergence of academic services, combining libraries with IT and/or other learning support services; awareness of information literacy and recognition of the teaching role of librarians; and a maturing role in institutional repository management and its suggested extension to research data management. The increasingly specialised nature of their work is reflected in the use of terms such as ‘para-academic’, hybrid librarian’ and ‘blended professional’ to highlight their boundary-spanning activities and identities. The challenges and opportunities facing professional educators are similarly fluid. Professional education for librarians has to anticipate changes and developments in professional tasks, roles and expectations, both at the macro level of the profession as a whole and the micro level of different library specialties. Education programmes must take account of standards set by national and international professional bodies, in addition to reflecting the realities of professional work in the sector. Programme content should also be informed by research in the discipline, enabling the academy to influence professional thinking and practice, contributing to the development and positioning of the profession. The challenges facing educators are significant, with some employers and graduates questioning the value of academic preparation for professional practice, while others see both initial and continuing education as a worthwhile investment, but want flexible tailored provision, not just a standard offer.

In particular, the use of the Internet has made a significant difference in the way that traditional services are provided.

This article deals with the introduction of chat reference as a new concept that is not extensively used in Iranian libraries and also with competencies needed to implement it.

Ten Academic libraries in Ohio and Pennsylvania which o®ered chat reference services were identi¯ed and 40 librarians were interviewed in order to address the research questions of this study. The main methodology used was the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) that is based on collecting and analyzing the most memorable experiences of human behavior in order to evaluate and identify ways to increase e®ectiveness of service. On-site, personal interviews were conducted with librarians who provide chat reference services. The subjects were initially asked to de¯ne chat reference service and compare it with traditional reference services.

ENWEANI E-Reference Librarian, Digital Library Section Prof. Festus Aghagbo Nwako Library Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria ([email protected]) Center for Energy Research & Dev. Library University of Nigeria, Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria ([email protected]) Anambra State University Library, Igbariam Campus Igbariam, Anambra State, Nigeria. Abstract This paper highlights the many ways available to library managers and patrons on the management and use of hybrid libraries, especially in academic libraries in Nigeria. The paper focused on the best practices that exist for making an effective use of library services by both patrons and library administrators. Considering the growing trends in new ways for accessing information which resulted from the emergence and explosion of Information and Communication Technologies, the paper looked at the needs, problems and strategies for making library services available and more efficient for the clienteles. Among these needs are, fast, improved and convenience- based services which hybrid library system is expected to provide. This is hoped to be enhanced by the appropriate installation and use of the Internet by both library administrators and patrons. Being focused at the developing nation like Nigeria, the problems ranged from poor information environment, poverty, lack of facilities to help the establishment of the hybrid system, to patrons’ inability to adapt to the foreseeing trends and the administrators’ inability to organize training workshops for their workers.

    1 Virtual Reference Service in Academic Libraries

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-LIS repository Virtual Reference Service in Academic Libraries: A Case Study of the Libraries of IIMs and IITs in India Bulu Maharana1 K. C. Panda2 Abstract: The paper introduces the concept of Virtual Reference Service (VRS) in academic libraries. The survey investigates into the state of VRS in the libraries of premier educational institutions, the IIMs and IITs in India. The study reveals that although a remarkable advancement in the automation and electronic access to information has been achieved in these libraries, there is a long way ahead to march towards the establishment of standard VRS at par with similar institutions in developed countries. Keywords: Virtual Reference Service, Digital Reference Service, Live Reference service 1. INTRODUCTION Technology is developing at a very fast rate and what looks a myth a few years back is becoming a reality now. The largest single factor which caused the significant changes in library operations and services in this century is undoubtedly the evolution of information technology. Technology has changed the way the libraries serve their users and this change will continue in future also. While continuing to provide many traditional information services, libraries are developing new skills and taking new roles that are necessary to support technology based services. In the libraries and information centers “Reference Service” is an important personalised service. Traditionally, it is a one-to-one service with user and reference librarian. The user is helped by the variety of sources available to meet the information needs.
