An Investigation of Graduate Student Knowledge and Usage of Open-Access Journals.

Beard, Regina M.
Abstract / Description
Graduate students lament the need to achieve the proficiency necessary to competently search multiple databases for their research assignments, regularly eschewing these sources in favor of Google Scholar or some other search engine. The author conducted an anonymous survey investigating graduate student knowledge or awareness of the open-access journal articles that resulted from those types of searches.

Show moreGraduate students lament the need to achieve the proficiency necessary to competently search multiple databases for their research assignments, regularly eschewing these sources in favor of Google Scholar or some other search engine. The author conducted an anonymous survey investigating graduate student knowledge or awareness of the open-access journal articles that resulted from those types of searches. The intent, in part, was to facilitate the creation or expansion of library services targeting graduate students. Additionally, the survey sought to elicit student interest in open-access publishing. This article discusses the survey outcomes and potential next steps.

Assessing E-Collections When Every E-Resource Has its Reader, Every Reader has His/Her E-Resource, and E-Resources are Ever Growing.
Creator
Bhatt, Anjana
Abstract / Description
Electronic resources, or e-resources, whether born digital or converted, are enticing students and librarians alike and have quickly become the format of choice. Libraries subscribe to e-collections ranging from databases to online journals to eBooks, and deal with hundreds of databases that contain thousands of e-journals and to manage the nerve-wracking assignment of keeping track of e-collections usage.

Show moreThis article examines the effect of information technology (IT) on Indian academic libraries and traces the phenomenal growth of the IT industry and the Internet in India. Resource sharing and library automation activities of networking organizations like DELNET, CALIBNET, and INFLIBNET are discussed in detail. A brief review of thirteen Indian academic library web sites indicates that preliminary efforts are being made to incorporate technology and provide extended access to usual web-based services. Finally, the article provides suggestions and examples for including hyperlinks to ready-reference shelves on the Internet, introducing digital reference services, providing personalized electronic resource consultations, and creating information literacy tutorials.

Do They Think We’re the Frenemy?: Examining Student Anxiety and Service Perception in Today’s Academic Libraries.

Abstract / Description
This study utilized the Undergraduate Multidimensional Library Anxiety Scale (UMLAS) to survey students at two universities in the Southern United States during the 2012-2013 academic year, in order to determine how they felt about the Information Search Process (ISP), their re-search skills, and their attitude towards the library employees and library facilities.

Show moreThis study utilized the Undergraduate Multidimensional Library Anxiety Scale (UMLAS) to survey students at two universities in the Southern United States during the 2012-2013 academic year, in order to determine how they felt about the Information Search Process (ISP), their re-search skills, and their attitude towards the library employees and library facilities. It was de-termined that, despite the availability of a broad collection of online library resources at two Universities in the South, a slim majority of students indicated they still prefer to use the library in person. Although most students reported feeling comfortable using a computer, they were less comfortable using a computer at home to access the library online than one might expect. In fact, many students appear to still struggle with basic research skills, such as locating e-books online and locating full text articles, as well as with technical competencies such as downloading articles to an e-reader. Many students also indicated they were not able to find the things they wanted at the library. These same students felt library staff were friendly and helpful but, at the same time, many appeared to believe library employees were too busy to help them and indicated a reluctance to use telephone reference and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) assistance. In addition, alt-hough most students indicated that they visit the library for scholastic pursuits, very few responded that they were visiting the library in order specifically to get help from a librarian. The similarity in results from the two institutions suggests this data may imply a trend for academic libraries nationwide requiring further investigation.

Bhatt, Anjana H.
Abstract / Description
The E-resources lifecycle includes several stages such as “E-quotes—E-trials—Acquisition—Maintenance—Renewals—Cancellation.” Working with vendors for setting up and conducting effective new e-resource trials is quite an engaging process, for it requires a clear understanding among the trial participants and must ensure return of investment in terms of the most precious commodity, time.

Show moreThe E-resources lifecycle includes several stages such as “E-quotes—E-trials—Acquisition—Maintenance—Renewals—Cancellation.” Working with vendors for setting up and conducting effective new e-resource trials is quite an engaging process, for it requires a clear understanding among the trial participants and must ensure return of investment in terms of the most precious commodity, time. This article provides a summary of my experience with e-trials over a period of 15 years and discusses a recent brainstorming session with our Reference and Research Instruction (RRI) group of librarians that ultimately resulted in establishing best practices for e-trials at the Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) library.

Show moreEffective communication is one of the most important resources for successful outreach efforts. This article addresses the benefits that can emerge from successful communication as well as the negative effects that may stem from ineffective communication. A case study of Florida Gulf Coast University Archives, Special Collections, & Digital Initiatives' outreach efforts among local cultural heritage organizations will demonstrate methods used to approach these organizations and subsequent results. After attempting to provide several organizations with professional assistance regarding digitization and digital preservation of historic records, Archives, Special Collections, & Digital Initiatives sought to establish a formalized outreach approach. While there is a large amount of literature discussing broad outreach efforts, few articles delve into specific communication methods, potential benefits, and possible drawbacks. This article will show that with specific methods of communication, outreach can prove advantageous for both the community organization in need and the library institution providing the service. © 2016, Published with license by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
