  • 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.

LSTA funds alone are obviously inadequate to meet the library and information needs of all Kentucky residents. The Kentucky Department for Libraries & Archives’ (KDLA) challenge has been to find ways to make 52 cents per person transformative in terms of library services; to leverage a small amount of money to accomplish major results by strategically deploying funds and leveraging other public and private monies in support of library and information services.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Since the early 1990s, Canada’s publicly funded archival repositories have been reducing their involvement in the acquisition of private-sector records. The decline in central government involvement has been matched by a steady increase in the number and nature of community-based, institutional, or organisational repositories. The acquisition and preservation of privately generated archival records by the public sector has been a central aspect of Canadian archival practice for many years. It is partly a result of the Canadian perception that government has a significant role to play in the social and cultural affairs of its citizens. It has also resulted from an inclusive definition of the concept of ‘archives,’ one that has encouraged the preservation of a vvide range of historical materials for evidential, informational, and cultural reasons.

The workshop aimed to identify the set of skills that librarians will need to advance work in data science and open science (DS/OS). Workshop participants included practi- tioners who provide DS/OS services, as well as faculty from schools of library and information science who are advancing DS/OS in academic settings. Broad topics of discussion included: 1. The landscape of data science and open science, with a focus on organiza- tional settings, varied researcher needs, and how librarians communicate services. 2. Challenges and opportunities for librarians, including librarian communica- tion to stakeholders, evaluation of program and service impact, and integra- tion with DS/OS teams. 3. Core skills for librarians for data science and open science, to determine which skills are already taught in library school, what skills are needed, and existing resources for training.

Littletree ii University of Washington Abstract “Let Me Tell You About Indian Libraries”: Self-Determination, Leadership, and Vision— The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States Sandra D. Littletree Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Cheryl A. Metoyer Information School Tribal libraries in the United States have become sites of cultural and language renewal, gathering places, and places to collect, preserve, and share Indigenous knowledge. After more than forty years of development, tribal libraries have become important sites of decolonization, where sovereignty and self-determination are paramount. These libraries are relatively recent tools that Native (and non-Native) people have begun to employ to collect, preserve, and transmit Indigenous knowledge for current and future generations.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Holston River Regional Library Photographs, 1939-1992 RG 444 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Tennessee State Library and Archives. Holston River Regional Library Inclusive Dates: 1939-1992 Scope & Content: Consists of color slides, color print photographs, black-and-white print photographs, a brochure, a report, a greeting card, and two audiocassettes. The report on the growth of the regional library system yields information central to the expansion of regional libraries. Amateurish maps of Tennessee comprise part of the report, but later maps appear more professionally printed. The maps date 1939-1992. Each map illustrates counties participating in the system and the region to which they belong. The last map lists regions as of 1990, when the reports end. At that time, Blue Grass, Caney Fork, Clinch-Powell, Forked Deer, Fort Loudoun, Highland Rim, Nolichucky, Reelfoot, Shiloh, Upper Cumberland, Warioto, Watauga, Davidson County, Hamilton County, Knox County, and Shelby County constituted the Tennessee Regional Library System. The photographic and slide images provide a record of local and regional scenes, library activities, and community outreach such as the Potpourri Festival in Bristol. Hundreds of color and black-and-white slides and photographs portray period images of children’s story hours (one featuring snakes), library patrons and buildings, mountain scenery, Nolichucky Regional Library and Watauga Regional 1 Library bookmobiles, and a road trip to Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. Photographs of vintage bookmobiles may evoke memories of a simpler time. A boy atop a mule at a bookmobile acts as an important record of rural life in East Tennessee.
