Book excerpt: Supporting Research in Area Studies: A Guide for Academic Libraries focuses on the study of other countries or regions of the world, crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries in the humanities and social sciences.

Early chapters cover the academic landscape, its history, area studies, librarianship, and acquisitions. Subsequent chapters discuss collections management, digital products, and the digital humanities, and their role in academic projects, with final sections exploring information skills and the various disciplinary skills that facilitate the needs of researchers during their careers. Describes the nature of area studies research and the traditional strengths of area studies librarianship in supporting inter- and trans-disciplinary research Applies the latest thinking in research support in university libraries to the specific needs of the area studies research community in the United Kingdom and United States Explores how internationalizing systems and processes can bring broader benefits to the university as a whole Analyzes the particular issues caused by working with content and systems in multiple languages

Download or read book Collection Evaluation in Academic Libraries written by Karen C. Kohn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Librarians have long used data to describe their collections. Traditional measures have simply been inputs and outputs: volumes acquired, processed, owned, or circulated. With the growth since the 1990s of cultures of assessment, librarians have sought statistics that are evaluative rather than simply descriptive. More recently, exponentially increasing journal prices and an economic recession have intensified the need to make careful purchasing decisions and to justify these to administrators. A methodical evaluation of a library collection can help librarians understand and meet user needs and can help communicate to administrators that the library is a good use of the institution’s money. Collection Evaluation in Academic Libraries: A Practical Guide for Librarians equips collections managers to select and implement a method or several methods of evaluating their library collections. It includes sections on four tools for evaluation: • Comparison to peer institutions • Core lists • Usage statistics from circulation and ILL • Citation analysis Chapters on each of these approaches present the advantages and disadvantages of each method, instructions on data collection and analysis—with screenshots—and suggested action steps after completing the analysis. With a unique combination of step-by-step instructions and discussions of the purpose and role of data, this book provides an unusually thorough guide to collection evaluation. It will be indispensable for collection development librarians and anyone looking to strengthen the culture of assessment within the library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the 31,000 libraries in the U.S. and Canada, the 16,700 in England, the 4,800 in Egypt, and the many other libraries around the world contain research rooms and special collections. How to Use a Research Library, a unique guide for researchers, provides essential materials from these special collections. Beginning with a basic introduction that describes the layout and cataloging systems of research libraries, and proceeding to more sophisticated levels of research, it discusses the most efficient methods of library research, helping readers to find the most appropriate bibliographical tools. Written simply and organized for easy access, the guide covers every aspect of research from the rudimentary to the most advanced. Part I explains the layout of research libraries and introduces readers to the cataloging systems and various reference shelf books such as the Cumulative Book Index. It also instructs readers on the use of requisition slips and supplemental catalogs. Part II explains how to locate materials using various bibliographies, reference books, and the magazine and newspaper indices. It describes the new computer databases, the on-line computer search, and the inter-library loan system, as well as providing a brief summary of research procedures for readers who need a quick "refresher" or wish to begin research immediately. Part III explores the methodology of research by discussing how to use library sources for particular types of research, and research rules of thumb. It also offers guidelines on how to use specific library divisions and collections and gives particulars about the world's major research libraries. With full bibliographic citations and step-by-step examples based on the research libraries of the New York Public Library, this authoritative handbook will teach even the most seasoned researchers new techniques and fact-finding tips.--Publisher.
