University of Sheffield Library. Archives and Special Collections University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 214 Title: Sheffield University Library Collection Scope: A collection of photographs, publications, documents and artefacts illustrating notable persons, events and buildings in the history of the University of Sheffield Library. Dates: 1905- Level: Fonds Extent: 20 boxes Name of creator: University of Sheffield Library. Department of Special Collections The story of the development of the University Library from its unsatisfactory origins in Firth College (1879-1896) and University College (1897-1904) is told in Arthur W. Chapman’s The Story of a Modern University (University of Sheffield and Oxford University Press, 1955): “Of all the developments in the years before the first world war first place must be given to that of the Library. We have already seen how unsatisfactory was almost everything connected with the Library in University College; how meagre the collection of books (about 10,000 volumes in 1905), and how badly they were housed”. As the fledgling University moved to its new location in Western Bank in 1905 the Library was housed in the General Lecture Room, there not being enough money available to provide a purpose-built Library. The inauguration of the new era was made possible by the generous offer by the industrialist William Edgar Allen (a member of the University Council from 1905 to 1915) to provide £10,000 to establish a purpose-built Library, and this momentous news was proclaimed on the opening day of the new University. E.M. Gibbs, the University Architect, designed the distinctive octagonal shape of the new building, in the neo-gothic style of the other structures in the Western Bank complex, constructed of mellow red-brick and sandstone. The new Library was pleasantly located beside, and indeed impinged in a small way upon, the public Weston Park, a trespass which aroused opposition in some quarters of the City (though the University gave an equivalent amount of land to the Park in compensation). On 26th April 1909 the new building was honoured by the visit of the Prince of Wales (later H.M. King George V) who, with the Princess, performed the opening ceremony. At the Degree Congregation in Firth Hall which took place as part of the celebrations Edgar Allen was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters. The new Library was one of the earliest specially designed university libraries in the country, having seats for 100 readers and shelving for 20,000 books, and with potential stack space for 60,000 further volumes. Inevitably, as time went on this apparently generous storage space would be filled. 1 Sir Charles Harding Firth, the first Lecturer in Modern History in the old Firth College before he became Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, was a most generous donor of books from his large personal collection to the new Library, but towards the end of the 1920s it became known that he intended to donate many more volumes from his collection. A grant from the Town Trustees enabled the University to convert the large General Lecture Theatre into a Reading Room with capacity for a further 20,000 volumes specifically to house the Firth Collection (which today contributes a major part of the Rare Book Collection) and other historical works. This extension was completed in 1931. With the growth of student numbers over the following decades, and especially following the Second World War, it eventually became necessary to replace the old Edgar Allen Library, and in the late 1950s a new purpose-built structure was planned and erected beside what was up to that point a public thoroughfare. As befitted the modern post-war era the new Library, as well as having greatly enhanced capacity, was radically different in design from its predecessor, being resolutely rectangular, the exterior of plate glass with stone facings and the interior strongly constructed of reinforced concrete and steel, with marble stairways and features. The University and Library were honoured once more, this time by having an "eminent man of letters", T.S. Eliot, to perform the opening ceremony on 12th May 1959. A higher degree ceremony conducted within the main Reading Room of the new building saw the award of honorary degrees to both T.S. Eliot and to Stanley Peyton, the Librarian, among other notables. This distinctive new structure has since been given the accolade of Grade 2 listed building status. However, it has to be recognised that, designed for an age before the Robbins Report, which ushered in an unprecedented expansion epitomised by the new universities of the 1960s, it in turn experienced problems in coping with the many changing demands placed upon it. The development of branch libraries and in particular of the Information Commons, opened in 2007, has helped to relieve some of the pressure on the Western Bank Library.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Librarians Point of Views Nestor L. Osorio Northern Illinois University
    A User's Participatory Selecting Model: Librarians Point of Views Nestor L. Osorio Northern Illinois University Paper presented at the Illinois Library Association Annual Meeting, Rosemont, IL, USA, October 19, 2011. Abstract The concept of users participating in the selection of library materials has been around for some time but in recent years, with the introduction in the market by publishers of extensive eBook collections and the better technology for moving records from publishers' files to online catalogs, new opportunities for patron-based selection have emerged. This paper presents the results of a survey of academic librarians in the state of Illinois, USA done with the object of determining their professional perspectives about this kind of service. The results indicate that when used properly, participatory selecting models for patrons can support the overall collection development efforts, but they are not a substitute. Introduction The Illinois Association for College and Research Libraries sponsored at the 2011 Illinois Library Association Annual Meeting the session "Patron Driven Acquisitions: Is it Time to Re-think Processes for Academic Title Selection?" which was part of the Collection Management and Development program's track. At this panel the three speakers: Nancy Crow from Quincy University; Nestor L. Osorio from Northern Illinois University; and Lynn Wiley from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign presented an overview of "the models libraries are using to solicit input from patrons on title selection, the pros and cons of patron-driven acquisition on collection development, the efficacy of traditional vs. patron driven models, and finding the balance that works for the future." This paper is based on the presentation of the author at this session.

  • Agricultural Librarians Becoming Informationists: a Paradigm Shift
    Agricultural Librarians Becoming Informationists: A Paradigm Shift Marianne Stowell Bracke Abstract Librarian liaisons to the agricultural sciences offer many traditional services, such as teaching classes, purchasing materials, managing col- lections, and providing guidance on scholarly communication issues. Data management and data literacy instruction are two emerging service opportunities for agricultural librarians to develop new roles and work with researchers to set standards and meet data manage- ment needs within the disciplinary context. Taking advantage of these opportunities will require new skills, shifts in attitudes, and increased interaction with the students and faculty to understand their needs and provide timely and appropriate services. This paper proposes creating new strategies, expectations, and opportunities for agricultural librarianship by constructing a new model based on the informationist. The informationist, developed in medical librari- anship, offers a model for creating highly engaged liaison services. Within a medical context the informationist is an extension of the traditional model of librarian engagement in which an information professional is embedded within clinical and research settings. Li- brarians can have an impact outside of the traditional library contexts by developing new skills and strategies for librarians working in the agricultural sciences. The informationist model also provides the opportunity to act as a direct collaborator in the creation of new methodologies in the field, such as systematic reviews. Introduction There are extensive discussions of new roles and emerging models for providers of expert information services in research libraries. Changing models must anticipate short-term, rapid changes and also perceive long- LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2017 (“Collaboration in Agricultural Librarianship and Information Work,” edited by Sarah C.
