September 27, Z977 where they were grceted by Major General Robert G. Yerks, Comnandant of the US Army War College, and Colonel Donald P. Shaw, Director, US Army Military History Institute. Both individuals expressed strong beliefs in the importance of military libraries, and endorsed the program theme of "Resource Sharing." Following the welcome, Mr. J. Thomas Russell, Program Chairman for the Workshop, introduced Mr. Lee Powers, who was representing Mr. James Riley, the Executive Director of the Federal Library Committee. Mr. Powers outlined foz dclegates current projects being undertaken by the Federal Library Committee. Of special interest to the delegates in the area of resource sharing were: (1) A feacibility study on establishing a federal library data base is being conducted: (2) The Survey of Library Automation in the Metropolitan Washington Area, 1977, will be available by the end of the .ear: (3) The Federal Library Committee received a first "traft of a report on the changes in the library and information services resulting primarily from automatio' and technological develop- rments and affecting the Government's classification and qualificaticn standards for libraries. The federal report will be submitted to the Civil Service Commiission for use in its review and revision of standards for librarians and informantion specialists: (4W A draft MARC Technical -ii Report Formnat is in preparation by a four-member working group from the Federal Library Committee, the Library of Congress, and the Department of Defense. The draft will be distributed for comment among librarians using the OCLC system and selected agencies using the COSATI technical report format. The draft will be used by the LC Processing Department in drafting a MARC technical report format; (5) A group of federal libraries, widely dispersed geographically, is planning a six-month pilot experinent involving the installation and use of slow-scan television equipment. The purpose is to determine the usefulness of such equipment to improve the timeliness of document delivery and access to other libraries. Work has begun on the design plan and procedures to conduct the experiment, the detail definition and description of functions and operations for the collection of data, and the method and review for the experiment evaluation. The experiment will begin during the first quarter of calendar year 1978. Following Mr. Powers, Mr. Paul Klinefelter, of the Defense Documentation Center, described the Shared Bibliographed Experiment. Following is the text of Mr. Klinefelter's presentation: SHARING OF BIBLIOGRAPHIC INPUT In consonance with the theme of this conference, the Defense Documentation Center is sponsoring a Shared Bibliographic Input Experiment to build a system which will eventually result in one-time preparation cf standardized bibliographic descriptions generated by a library or information center at the source of technical reports. This procedure is expected, when fully implemented, to result in a sharing of bibliographic data which, once prepared at a knowledgeable point, e.g. the source of the technical report,

    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.
