Now is the time think about how technology can help transform libraries to be a hub for student success. Through real-world client partner examples, our Clarivate session will feature several case studies around how library partners are leveraging cool tools to achieve results that align with the mission of their college and/or university. You’ll learn in this session how students at other colleges and/or universities are receiving a personalized library experience to improve research outcomes and efficiently access materials without delay.
In February 2023 at the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans Library, we were told we had to clear out one-third of our print journals stacks to make way for an IT server room. We ultimately withdrew over 33,000 bound journals and an additional 2,300 items after weeding our reference monographs. We will describe our projects, how we coordinated with various institutional departments, and how we developed a new methodology for reporting withdrawn items.
Join us on this highly informative retelling of the time when the presenter consulted with LOUIS on updating a print journal list collection within Holdings Management. THRILL! At the marvels of Excel spreadsheet formulas to summon up ancient serial title information! CHILL! As we chisel away at the old HM load using WF reports to reveal the true title list and coverage dates! SPILL! Your beverage and gasp in excitement as you discover how YOU TOO can reconcile PubFinder with your OPAC!
This session will focus on how libraries are rethinking their roles and priorities as higher education evolves to participate in an increasingly open scholarly communication system (including OA publishing but also Open Science, Open Data, OER, etc.). Are we changing our collecting, discovery, and/or teaching practices? Are we looking for ways to invest in open systems and infrastructure? Join us to share how we can support each other in exploring our changing role in an OA world.
