Download or read book The Solo Librarian written by Lucy Roper and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming a solo librarian may be a daunting prospect. From collections to cataloguing, classifying to copyright, whether the individual is a solo librarian, within a small team with limited help, or working in a larger library or information hub, the range of tasks involved will remain the same. Whilst being a solo librarian does have its fair share of challenges that can include juggling multiple tasks and time management, marketing and embracing the ever-changing technologies and upcoming social media channels, and effectively managing the feeling of being isolated, there are also many advantages. With the author having been through the education process and gained work experience, information professionals will have already picked up many transferrable skills and identified some key aspects when it comes to accessing, using, and running a library. By being intellectually curious, embracing ever-changing technologies, enjoying learning and knowledge creation, and working alongside non-library colleagues, it is likely that information professionals are organised, can manage their time effectively, enjoy helping others by sharing and promoting library and information services, and will stay engaged as a team of one. As a solo librarian herself and a book not being available on the topic, she has decided to write one – which covers the lessons learnt, and templates created in order to assist others) that find themselves in a similar role &/or a small team with limited help. This Internationally applicable and practical handbook will follow a yearly planner and shows a timeline of key activities that happen throughout, in this instance, an academic year and include the following examples: - Acquisitions, cataloguing, updating library guidance (before academic year start - September) - Student and Staff Inductions (September/October) - Quarterly Business Review to review updates and library usage (Oct – Dec) - Library cover over student/staff holiday period (Dec) - Quarterly Business Review (Jan – Mar) - Quality standard(s) re-accreditation (April) - Research methods/study skills webinars (April) - Library cover over student holiday period (April) - Quarterly Business Review (April –June) - Copyright Audit (May) - Copyright Academic Rollover (June) - Quarterly Business Review (July –Sept) - Yearly e-Library review (July) - Financial Review (July) - Student Survey Results (July) - Library cover over student holiday period (August/September) Appendices will include a condensed version of 'Lucy the Librarian top tips for successful solo librarianship' (Note: Chapter 4 of the publication will expand on key elements and provide contextual examples) as well as providing templates and guidance notes that will be made available to download and used to aid those working in information, knowledge, libraries and related disciplines, whether based within the UK or around the world. The idea behind this practical handbook, therefore, is to provide guidance and templates to cover: - Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a solo librarian - Identifying library user needs, - Benchmarking, - Forming a clear structure – for Physical and Online Libraries, - Acquisitions and financial management, - Classification and cataloguing, - Archives and records management, - Copyright (incl. Referencing and Plagiarism), Intellectual Property, and Licensing, - Communications and promotion, - Where to access further Information, Advice, and Guidance, and more.

Book excerpt: Will there be a library catalogue in the future and, if so, what will it look like? In the last 25 years, the library catalogue has undergone an evolution, from card catalogues to OPACs, discovery systems and even linked data applications making library bibliographic data accessible on the web. At the same time, users expectations of what catalogues will be able to offer in the way of discovery have never been higher.

Practical projects and cutting edge concepts are showcased in discussions of: - linked data and the Semantic Web - user expectations and needs - bibliographic control - the FRBRization of the catalogue - innovations in search and retrieval - next-generation discovery products and mobile catalogues. Readership: Cataloguers and metadata specialists, library adminstrators and managers responsible for planning and strategy, systems librarians, user services managers, electronic resources librarians, and digital library project managers, students on cataloguing, information management and digital library courses.

Book Synopsis The Ultimate Digital Library by : Andrew K. Pace
Download or read book The Ultimate Digital Library written by Andrew K. Pace and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are no two ways about it: the Internet presents a challenge to librarians and information providers everywhere. Googling and Asking Jeeves are often easier options than heading to the local library for answers to research questions. How can libraries be viewed as another, perhaps more useful search engine? Librarian and former technology vendor Andrew Pace draws from successful and failed Internet service models, and explores complicated library-vendor relationships to show you how you can beef up customer satisfaction. This manual advocates that libraries shift their current practices and create collaborative and win-win partnerships with vendors to provide better and more forward-looking services. Pace presents some extreme views and suggests radical changes on how libraries can stay competitive in the new digital arena and starts the dialogue that can lead to lasting change. This unconventional and provocative look explores: what libraries can learn from the heady rise and crushing fall of the dot-coms; how library-vendor partnership can result in better automation products; and how to maintain privacy principles at the heart of the library's mission.

Men tend to wait as long as possible to see a doctor about a health problem, making early diagnosis difficult if not impossible. Given the fact that men seem to be more private about their illnesses, the Internet provides an excellent place for them to seek health care information.” Men?s Health on the Internet: examines what men need and expect as health care consumers provides an overview of the resources available on the World Wide Web teaches you about search engines and how to use them to find what you?re looking for quickly and efficiently points you toward information on cancer--Web-based resources on risk factors, early detection, and treatment brings you reliable resources for information on prostate problems puts you in touch with reliable information men?s concerns, including hair loss, high blood pressure (hypertension), heart health, infertility/impotence, and physical fitness includes resources for gay men?s health issues increases your awareness of different types of Internet resources, including mailing lists, newsgroups, and real-time communication Information resources on the Internet relating to health issues, from Web sites to newsletters to chat groups, are abundant.

Take control--use Men?s Health on the Internet to sift through the often overwhelming number of related sites to find the information you need!

This book cuts through the jargon and rhetoric to ease the transition into library instruction, offering support to all those involved, including library supervisors, colleagues, and trainees. Grounded in research on teaching and learning from numerous disciplines, not just library literature, this book shows how to set up new instruction librarians for success, with advice on completing an environmental scan, strategies for recruiting efficiently, and a training checklist; walks readers step by step through training a new hire or someone new to instruction, complete with hands-on activities and examples; explores the different roles an instruction librarian is usually expected to play, such as educator, project manager, instructional designer, and teaching partner; demonstrates the importance of performance evaluation and management, including assessment and continuing education, both formal and informal; and provides guided reading lists for further in-depth study of a topic. A starter kit for librarians new to instruction, this resource will be useful for training coordinators as well as for self-training.
