  • LB21 Recipient, RE-17-19-0032-19
    RE-17-19-0032-19 - Simmons University Retooling the Librarian Workforce: Innovative Post-Master’s Certificate Program for Developing Inter- Professional Informationalists (IPI ) Abstract In alignment with IMLS’s strategic goal of Lifelong Learning, this project aims to retool the diverse librarian workforce, develop an innovative educational model, and foster collaboration between libraries and a learning organization. Through a partnership among seven bicoastal academic health sciences libraries (Harvard University, MCPHS University, Tufts University, Boston University, Stanford University, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at San Francisco) and one LIS Program (Simmons University), this project creates a post-Master’s certificate program in the area of Inter-Professional Informationist (IPI), for the purpose of bridging the gap between traditional and emergent skills in health sciences librarianship and increasing the diversity in the IPI workforce. IPI adopts embedded library services and the informationist approach to enhance biomedical scientific research and practice. Ten librarians in the program will complete seven IPI courses, and project partner institutions will connect them with researchers and clinical leaders who will supervise their capstone experience. This two-year project features planning, student recruitment, a four-semester course offering, followed by evaluation, recommendation, solidification of the IPI framework, and dissemination. This project has three goals: (1) Develop a unique bicoastal partnership among seven academic health sciences libraries across the country and a LIS program; (2) Develop an IPI conceptual framework bridging the gap between traditional and emergent skills in health sciences librarianship through a post- master’s certificate program focusing on retooling librarians in the workforce; (3) Recommend extending the framework to STEM, Social Sciences, and the Arts and Humanities disciplines where there is a similar gap.

Abstract Objectives – To describe aspects of the 21st century role of the public library as a physical space by observing the actual use of a selection of public libraries. This study seeks to reveal how patrons are using and experiencing these institutions as spaces and how patrons and staff characterize the role of public libraries in communities. Methods – A multiple case study design was used to examine three urban and three small town public libraries within Nova Scotia, Canada. A triangulated set of methods including patron interviews and questionnaires, staff interviews, and seating sweeps was used to develop answers to the research questions. Results – These public libraries are functioning as successful public places in that they are community spaces used in a multitude of ways and where patrons feel welcome.

  • Introduction
    Introduction HANNIS S. SMITH ONEOF THE REAL PHENOMENA of public library development in America in the past decade has been the expansion of the concept of the regional library. At the time of the Public Library Inquiry (1949), there were not enough regional libraries to warrant including them in the sample, but the Inquiry did identify two varieties.l These came into the Inquiry through the state library extension agencies studied. The two types are familiar: (1) the regional office or branch of the state library exten- sion agency exercising no control over local libraries, and (2) the multi- county library. The Inquiry suggested that the regional office or branch of the state agency should be the mainstay of library extension. In re- cent years, it has been possible to identify a third type: the regional office of the state agency which exercises some control over local li- braries, and which actually operates direct public library services in its region. Today, one or more of these three types of regional libraries, to a total of over 200 examples, are present in forty-one states of the United States and in most Canadian provinces. The literature of regional public libraries is indebted to a distin- guished list of librarians which includes Louis Round Wilson, Carleton B. Joeckel, Helen M. Harris, Gretchen K. Schenk, and Lowell Martin. The literature reveals that this type of larger unit is in some ways no different from any other large public city or county library, and much of the general literature of library administration and service is fully applicable to regional libraries.

(Washington Post)For the millions of readers who devoured the Green Gables series, Before Green Gables is an irresistible treat; the account of how one of literatures most beloved heroines became the girl who captivated the world. As an avid Anne of Green Gables fan, I was desperately wishing for some Anne material that I hadnt read six times already. This was a pretty good attempt on such material. I thought the author really captured Anne well, and thought up some really good back story material. The characters, even the bad ones, werent one-dimensional, so she didnt really make out Anne to be a victim which was so appreciated. However, the stories are very sad for the most part, and of course theyre missing just that spark that only L.M. Montgomery could put into them. Of course, it is fitting because Annes surroundings werent as charming and idyllic as they were in Montgomerys stories, so the book is a good fit into what we know of Annes background.
