Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global changes, particularly in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have had an impact on the functioning of academic libraries. The developments in ICT have changed the users' expectations in different ways, causing the ways librarians build a collection and give services to the end users to vary from recent past practices. To meet the demands of end-users effectively, the academic libraries need to identify and adopt good practices and benchmarks. Library and information system (LIS)?management is the basic and core activity which helps the user community in identifying and accessing knowledge resources in an academic institution. It is comprised of the activities performed in relation to the development of vision, mission and policies of the library, stock verification methods, budgeting and reporting, manpower development, basic amenities and facilities, as well as collection development management or information resources development. LIS management is also concerned with strategic planning of LIS in present and future operations. Identifying and internalizing best practices in the management and administrative functions at regular intervals would enhance the collection development process, services dissemination, and use of the library as a whole. A total of 21 case studies from various institutions have been presented here in an attempt to compile the case studies of the best practices used by the contributors in their libraries. This book will help the library professional who want to get NAAC accreditation in their institutions. [Subject: Library and Information Science]

Book excerpt: "This second volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian: Case Studies and Best Practices provides colleges and universities with a set of models that inspire and enrich undergraduate research, demonstrating the contributions of academic librarians to student success." --From the Foreword by Janice DeCosmo Undergraduate research is a specific pedagogical practice with an impact on teaching and learning, and the definition of what counts as research continues to expand to include different types of projects, mentors, and institutions. Diversity, equity, and inclusion in librarians' work with students and faculty are present and growing. Collaborations between faculty, librarians, and students are furthering student knowledge in new ways. This community and an awareness of students' non-academic challenges demonstrate the library's contribution to students' overall sense of belonging within their institutions. This second volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian--following 2017's first volume--contains 22 new chapters that explore these expanded definitions of research and the changes wrought in the profession and the world in the intervening years. Five sections examine: First-Year Undergraduate Research Models Cohort-Based Models Tutorials, Learning Objects, Services, and Institutional Repositories Course-Based Undergraduate Research Collaborations Building and Sustaining Programs Throughout the book you'll find lesson plans, activities, and strategies for connecting with students, faculty, and undergraduate research coordinators in support of undergraduate engagement and success. Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian, Volume 2, captures both the big picture view of undergraduate research as well as the front-line work in the classroom, at the reference desk, and online.

This book demonstrates the innovative and replicable ways community college librarians are measuring, evaluating, and reflecting on the services they provide, and how to use these assessments to demonstrate the value and impact of library services and advocate for resources.

The libraries interviewed shared their thoughts on a broad range of topics including but not restricted to: workflow management, productivity measures, departmental organization, budgets and spending trends, service to distance learning students, copyright and licensing issues, measures for special collections, automation and software use, use of institutional repositories and open access publications, shipping costs and procedures, and many other facets of academic interlibrary loan management. The purpose of the report is to define and diffuse best practices by profiling measures taken by nine leading institutions of higher education. Although the report contains much useful quantitative information, especially relating to budgets and employment, the focus in this report is on a journalistic narrative explaining departmental goals, procedures and practices and evaluating results.

Book excerpt: "An invaluable resource giving librarians the tools to assess copyright issues, risks, and approaches both domestically and internationally." -Library Journal, Starred Review Finally: a plain-language guide to best practices for the complex world of copyright management in academic libraries. Copyright issues continue to perplex librarians and educators. The difficulties and confusion in applying the U.S. Copyright Act became especially apparent when Covid hit and many universities turned to remote learning as their primary method of instruction. Librarians and educators struggled with applying the law for both remote learners and students who were on site. This book provides advice on how to analyze and apply the copyright law to specific areas encountered by librarians and instructors. Coverage includes: Controlled digital lending is a very hot issue and confusing to many as to how copyright could apply in those situations remote learning do’s and don’ts’ is at the forefront of copyright concerns which was highlighted during the pandemic The application of copyright to music in light of recent changes to the U.S. Copyright Act has caused much confusion. Analysis of the new law and strategies on how to include music in a curriculum as well as how libraries can provide access and preservation of musical works. Open access initiatives have become increasingly popular. However, open access does not mean that there is no copyright attached to the works. The use of data is exploding as are the copyright issues associated with it. We will examine the issues and provide options. Written by Donna L. Ferullo, the Director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University who holds both law and library science degrees and Dwayne K. Buttler, the Evelyn J. Schneider Endowed Chair for Scholarly Communication at the University of Louisville, who also holds a law degree. Both Ferullo and Buttler have many years of experience advising their universities on copyright law.
