As part of a broader shift in its collection development philosophy an academic library decided to implement a large-scale PDA program, and in the fall of 2009 added to its catalog 50,000 MARC records for books it did not own. This session will examine the first year of this project. The rationale behind that decision, the financial and collection impact on the university, lessons learned, and the state of PDA at this university today and in the future will all be discussed.

]]> Doug Way Deduplication at Comprehensive Universities: Benefits and Barriers http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/34 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/34 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:53 PDT Presented at: "Multiple Formats and Copies in a Digital Age: Acceptance, Tolerance, Elimination." Sponsored by CMDS Administration of Collection Development. Cosponsored by RUSA CODES/STARS Cooperative Collection Development Committee and CMDS Collection Assessment Committee. American Library Association Annual Conference, June 26, 2010.

Some libraries embrace all copies and formats, others tolerate them, and still others remove all formats/copies but one. In a digital age, how do we embrace removing items from our collections that have been replaced by other formats? How do we create buy in for these projects? Come listen to best practices about the ways in which libraries have and are addressing issues surrounding eliminating multiple formats and copies.

Includes information on implementation, updated usage statistics from the Winter, 2010, semester and common questions posed to the GVSU Libraries.

]]> Doug Way Exploring the Use of Summon at Grand Valley State University http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/32 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/32 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:50 PDT Innovative libraries around the world are embracing web-scale discovery as a powerful new ally in bringing net-gen users back to the library as the starting point for research.

This groundbreaking new technology exposes content riches in a way that “millenials” and other end-users expect and understand: from a single search box and an appealing, easy interface.Plus, it delivers unbiased, relevant results in sub-second response time, liberating researchers to move forward in their work.

Web-scale discovery is now in use by academic libraries and evidence shows it’s moving them forward, improving service and elevating their profile. Spend an hour hearing for yourself from adopters of the Summon™ service, the pioneer in web-scale discovery, about its impact: Michigan’s Grand Valley State University Library has tracked an immediate rise in its content usage and Arizona State University Library has heightened its presence among students and faculty. In addition, learn how web-scale discovery can help your library increase its return on content investments. Join us for lively discussion as librarians share the change this landmark technology has had on their academic communities and library brand.

]]> Doug Way Good Enough: The New Face of Reference http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/31 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/31 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:49 PDT College students today flock to Wikipedia in droves, while at the same time academic libraries continue to pour time and money into print reference collections that are rarely used and take huge amounts of our libraries’ limited space. While libraries have responded to space and access concerns by turning to electronic books, title-by-title selection is a time-consuming affair for a collection that sees low use. In this session we will examine the factors that have led to the point where libraries need to reexamine how they collect and provide access to reference sources. Through a content analysis of reference transcripts and transaction logs, an examination of usage statistics and interviews with librarians and library school students we will illustrate how these changes have altered the way reference sources are collected and used at Grand Valley State University. We will outline 10 characteristics of the “new” reference collection and discuss how we see reference collections continuing to evolve in the coming years.

]]> Doug Way et al. Developing a Multifaceted Approach to Identify a Core Undergraduate Browsing Collection http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/30 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/30 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:48 PDT In planning for a new library that will include a limited number of open stacks, Grand Valley State University librarians were asked to identify what materials should be reserved for the browsable shelves. To accomplish this, librarians considered user behavior by discipline, material types, shelving options and the role of core collections. This paper will discuss these issues as well as differences in how library resources are located and the impact of new discovery tools, such as Innovative Interface's Encore, Bowker’s Syndetics, and Google’s Book Search on redefining browsability. The paper will also include a discussion of resources used in this process, such as the results from our recent LibQual study, WorldCat Collection Analysis' Circulation Analysis and Bowker Book Analysis reports.

The Information Seeking Behavior of Today’s College Students http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/29 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/29 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:47 PDT Today’s college students have grown up with the internet; they are tech-savvy and experienced at navigating the web. This leads many to assume students have the skills to perform research in today’s increasingly online world. This session will examine how and where college students search for information and how this behavior impacts their research. It will also consider how faculty can assist students and influence student behavior.

]]> Doug Way The Prevalence of Government Information on High School Library and Media Center Websites http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/28 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/library_presentations/28 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:22:46 PDT In 1997 President Clinton directed federal agencies to develop websites and Internet resources that would serve as “tool(s) for teaching and learning.” The ten years since then have seen an explosion in the amount of government information available to students and educators. Today there are thousands of government websites that specifically target these groups. In addition, over 90 percent of government publications distributed through the Federal Depository Library Program are available on the Internet, making those titles once out of the reach of school libraries just a click away at no cost. To see how school libraries are taking advantage of these resources, a content analysis was conducted on sixty randomly selected high school library and media center websites to examine what government resources were being linked to from these sites and how these sites were providing access to government information. This session will present the results of that analysis. It will also offer suggestions of resources for librarians working with students and educators and examples of ways to promote government information to educators and school librarians. The presentation will include summary information from the analysis, quantitative information, graphic displays, slideshows of suggested government resources and handouts.
