Editorial Welcome to the frst Open Access issue of CILIP ILIG Focus! It’s hugely exciting to be able re-launch Focus as a publication which is, for the frst time, completely free and open to all. We share CILIP’s own commitment to Open Access and the opportunities it presents. We will strive to continue to highlight the efforts of librarians and information professionals around the world and to spread the word about some of the amazing projects they are doing. On that note, Marie Eiriksson and Christian Laursen from Denmark share their insights from having launched the fantastic Library Planet website in this issue. This new “crowdsourced travel guide for libraries”1 is another excellent way to explore the wide and varied world of libraries without even having to leave home! This issue includes content from three continents in total. Lewis Li, a subject librarian at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) gives us his insights into the evolution of teaching and learning methods in libraries. Emma Stirrat from Marymount University in the United States 2 Focus on International Library and Information Work Vol. 50, No. 1 2019 Editorial attended the 2019 Rare Books and Manuscript Section (RBMS) in Baltmore.i Sustainability was the theme and Emma’s article brings home how imperative it is that sustainable practice should be a part of everything we do. Finally, we’ve resurrected the CILIP International Library and Information Group (ILIG) Committee Profle section. Lesley Pitman was kind enough to share some highlights and refections on her fascinating career as a librarian working internationally. In other news, CILIP recently launched its “Working Internationally” project in conjunction with the Arts Council. This aimed at promoting international collaboration for public libraries in England over the next two years.

I told him how much I enjoyed following it and we went in to how diffcult it is to fnd the “right” libraries to visit when you are travelling. All the libraries in guidebooks are always the big fagship or national libraries and - although we both love those - we also love the little community hub and the cool academic library, making a difference for the people in the area or school it serves. So that’s how the idea started, to do a travel guide for awesome libraries around the world. Both for the people actually travelling to see places, but also for the people who just appreciate reading about and looking at a cool library from the comfort of their home. It is a very simple set up. People email us a text and photos about a library they have been to. We edit a little to ft the format and then publish it on the page and put it on the library map. *Christian is director of libraries and citizen services in Roskilde Municipality. He believes libraries are crucial institutions in every community, public and academic setting to create an open, more diverse, inclusive and equal world. Also: Music listener, LEGO Afcionado, Football player, Ukulele jammer! Based in Copenhagen, Christian is a frequent presenter at conferences and blogs about library development at The Library Lab: https://christianlauersen.net/ Marie works as a consultant and is a Communications Team lead at Gladsaxe Public Libraries. She loves libraries and anything related to them. She is a standing committee member of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions [IFLA] Section Library Services to People with Special Needs. She presents at conferences and workshops on matters related to library services to people with special needs. She is also on the board of an accessible formats publishing house. Marie also does many things realted to yarn and she will travel pretty far for cool libraries and World War II museums. 4 Focus on International Library and Information Work Vol. 50, No. 1 2019 Library Planet We have received overwhelming feedback about the site! Having launched the site in December 2018, we have nearly 100 libraries on the page right now; different kinds and from all over the world. We have about ten more lined up to go on and promises of more. We initially thought that it would mostly just be us scribbling about the libraries we were lucky enough to visit, but the thought must have resonated with a lot of people because the posts have been coming in from day one. People sends us amazing stories of visits from libraries from all over the world - Linköping to Tangier to Vasconcelos - and we just edit a bit to ft the format and share the love on the site. Other than the actual posts about libraries, we have gotten so many appreciative mails and tweets. People who have seen their childhood library on Library Planet and want to share a story about it. People sharing how much it meant to them to be able to highlight that library that helped them in a diffcult situation, or found pictures or information about their ancestors – or it might just be their everyday local fx of culture, quiet, literature or something completely different. Aarhus University Library Focus on International Library and Information Work Vol. 45 No. 1 2019 5 Library Planet It is amazing to hear about why and how much people love their libraries. Many of the libraries we have posted about have shared the post to their own social media. It is kind of cool having a local person or a traveler telling you about your library. It’s a look at the library with different eyes. We would both love for someone to visit our libraries and write about it from the view of a visitor! Community project We have also had many offers from people who want to generously help. We have had quite a few offers to help us navigate WordPress too. We really appreciate that because we are both novices, and we want to make the page better. We are also doing this on a hobby basis, so don’t have vast amounts of time to look into technical aspects. The offers have been from people both in the library world and from other professions who are enjoying the page and want to help make it better. This all makes it feel like it’s not just our site, but a global library project, where a lot of people contribute with their pieces and their expertise to make a map of library love. Jelling Library 6 Focus on International Library and Information Work Vol. 50, No. 1 2019 Library Planet Library diverseness One of the things we really wanted on the site was to see different kinds of libraries. To show public and academic, national and special libraries side by side. Every library takes a community to the next level. Examples are great big architectural achievements where there has been a huge investment into the libraries but also small one-room libraries, where the building might be the only access to knowledge, information, culture or education. All these different places can learn from each other and they all make a difference for the communities they are in. Töölö Library, Helsinki Focus on International Library and Information Work Vol. 45 No. 1 2019 7 Library Planet In Denmark we have a lot of awesome academic libraries and a lot of awesome public libraries and as libraries they are at the same party, but they almost never dance with each other. They barely even talk.

  • Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents Introduction Names
    JHU Office of Communications Style Guide page 1 Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents • Introduction • Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions • Style guidelines Introduction These guidelines were compiled by editors in the Office of Communications to encourage consistency and correct usage of terms across the many publications produced by JHU offices. The guidelines draw from The Associated Press Stylebook 2019 and the 17th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Written from a Johns Hopkins point of view, the guidelines are intended to complement AP and CMOS and, when those sources disagree, to choose between them. For points not addressed in the university guidelines, AP is the preferred source. For points not listed in AP, use the dictionary it recommends: Webster’s New World College Dictionary. When the dictionary gives two spellings, use the first one; when the dictionary and AP give different spellings, use AP’s. A number of individual JHU publications have their own style sheets, more detailed and directed to handling specialized content. Johns Hopkins Medicine, for example, has posted its Branding and Use of Name Toolkit http://brand.hopkinsmedicine.org/gui/content.asp. The guidelines below will supplement those already existing and will contribute to the effort to bring overall consistency to university publications. Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions The Johns Hopkins University/The Johns Hopkins Hospital: The preferred shortened name for Johns Hopkins University is Johns Hopkins, not Hopkins. The acronym JHU can be used as a shortened form in informal or internal communications and to avoid repetition of the Hopkins name.

  • Freshman Fellows: Implementing and Assessing a First-Year Primary-Source Research Program
    Library Impact Practice Brief Freshman Fellows: Implementing and Assessing a First-Year Primary-Source Research Program Research Team Members: Margaret Burri, Joshua Everett, Heidi Herr, and Jessica Keyes Sheridan Libraries, Johns H opkins Univ ersity July 15, 2021 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Association of Research Libraries 21 Dupont Circle NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036 (202) 296-2296 | ARL.org Issue Libraries spend significant time and money collecting and making Special Collections materials available to researchers. A critical piece of this work is teaching students how to engage with rare and unique materials to answer research questions and make new contributions to knowledge. Five years ago, to give scholars starting their college journey the chance to conduct original research, the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University established a Freshman Fellows (FF) program1 that partners first-year students with their own curatorial mentor for a one-year research project. This program graduated its first cohort of four fellows in spring 2020, and the research team designed an assessment project to see how this experience impacted the fellows’ studies and co-curricular activities at Johns Hopkins, as well as the mentors’ approach to the program and their larger work in Special Collections. Additionally, the team realized that the program would benefit from a structured way to review the fellows’ final projects, so we added the development of an assessment rubric (Appendix 4). A former colleague, Steph Gamble, suggested mapping various pedagogical measures, including the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education,2 into a rubric to be used to evaluate the work.

Reviews Exhibition Review: Mount Vernon: Baltimore’s Historic LGBT Neighborhood By Amanda Castro and Blanca Garcia-Barron Before John Travolta played Edna Turnblad in the 2007 remake of John Waters’ Hairspray (1988), the actress known as Divine played the famous role first. Divine, born Harris Glen Milstead, had been John Waters’ muse for twenty years prior to his most famous and successful film, Hairspray, in 1988. As a filmmaker, Waters has had a reputation for making underground satirical films set in the Baltimore, Maryland area that have often been deemed obscene. In the early 1960s and 1970s, Divine played many of the titular roles in films like Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Polyester. Central themes of the films were fetishes, ennui in suburbia, and Baltimore. Deconstructed, Waters’ films reflected an exaggerated portrayal of the repressive attitudes toward homosexuality and sex in 1950s America.
