Be a Leader, Not a Boss: Creating a Unified and Fulfilled Student Employment Team

Research has shown that employees who are satisfied with their jobs are not only happier, but also provide better customer service. Library management and supervisory teams can use many different methods to facilitate a positive work environment. This session will cover how our supervisor team led the transition from a passive, and sometimes even negative, work environment to an engaging and supportive workplace for our student employees. We will discuss the methods we used, from leveraging staff turnover in our favor to actively avoiding phrases like “we’ve always done it that way!” and talk about the challenges we encountered along the way. We will also outline how we utilized leadership concepts and discuss why this is important for the success of a team.

Deciding, Documenting, and Disseminating Library Policies and Practices: A Case Study from a Newly-Created Library Unit

Staff turnover, varying practices across service points, and consolidation of previously independent units are three starter reasons to document common practices. This session will address the development of central documentation and continuous operations plans for a library system operating five campus locations. What types of resources are suitable for managing and providing access to documentation? How can buy-in be obtained from staff? How can documentation facilitate regular cross-training, particularly for tasks where repetition is key to familiarity? The presenter will incorporate brainstorming activities exploring pros/cons for different documentation methods and local applications. Attendees will be encouraged to share their challenges and successes with similar processes.

Reference Remodeling: Adapting and Promoting Reference Service

Over the last 10 years, Forsyth Library has tried numerous strategies to promote the reference service Ask a Librarian to on-campus, virtual, and international students. Various changes to the library’s reference model have increased engagement but reference transactions has since plateaued. In 2019, with a new website redesign and slide-out chat widget, reference transactions increased by 360% overnight! In this session, the presenter will discuss strategies that have been used to promote the service and lessons learned along the way and will address recent major changes that can be easily implemented on most library websites.

Maintaining Training

Do you have student workers you manage? Tried something new and it failed? You are not alone! As the Access Services Librarian, I am the HR representative for all student workers in the library. Over the past five years, I have tried to create a training program for the library. Key word: Tried. Since 2014, I have tried different types of training in my library to unify our student worker staff. I will discuss the ideas that worked, the ones that did not, and the ones I plan to try in the future.

Using Acquisitions: A Library's Steps to Ordering Books to Tracking Funds

How can an acquisitions librarian track a book from the ordering stage to the cataloging stage? At B.D. Owens Library, the acquisitions process allows for the librarian and liaisons to track funds for individual departments, stay within the budget, and know when books have been ordered. The process also allows the acquisitions librarian to track an ordered book and stay updated. This session will go through the process the acquisitions librarian uses for ordering books to paying invoices.

Off the Web and into the Fishing Hole: Simulating the Iterative Search Process through Active Learning

Frustrated that student research starts and ends with a simple web search? What if you could flip the students’ habitual process of fishing the Internet for sources before they even know what information they need? The presenters created a group instructional activity designed to get students generating questions and then evaluating sources to match their questions. The activity simulates the iterative research process and introduces the students to the concept of identifying “exploratory” and “lookup” questions.
Session attendees will have the chance to work through an abbreviated version of the activity and hear about the presenters’ experiences developing the activity, observing classes doing the activity, and some preliminary assessment of student learning.

The Reference Interview beyond Reference: Putting it to the E-Resource Troubleshooting Test

The reference interview remains a relevant and established method of communication between librarians and users in meeting information needs. However, the discovery and use of information online affects library services within reference and public service to include technical service skills and personnel. While core professional competencies of electronic resource librarianship include communication, the profession lacks behavioral guidelines outlining best practice. The presenters share research examining public and technical service interactions for evidence of new and traditional reference interview behaviors when troubleshooting access to electronic resources. Beyond breaking down “public” and “technical” silos, identifying these behavioral similarities and differences leads to better service to users, wherever their point of need begins.

Cross-Training Student Workers in a Learning Commons Environment

Academic libraries continue to welcome more partners into library buildings in a move to collocate services and provide better student support. However, this can often create a lack of understanding or awareness of the different services that are offered, making it difficult to refer students to partner services. Cross-training student workers allows for seamless referrals while using a collaborative service approach. By applying active learning principles to cross-training sessions, training can be more engaging for student workers. Using online learning objects also allow for a replicable training model for high-turnover rates in student staffing.

Using Data Visualization to Analyze Topic Development by Business Communication Students in a One-Shot Setting

Business Communications students need to identify information needs, connect subtopics with topic proposals, and know where to look to retrieve multiple types of information sources outside normal journal articles and books. This includes consumer market research, industry research, company information, and primary sources. Their information-seeking behavior is generally based on previous knowledge of how to do simple basic keyword searches, not complex business research. The presenters needed to know 1) if students were making the connection between the larger subject, their topic and subtopics, and the search strings they were creating 2) if their topics matched the keywords they were listing and 3) what keywords were students using and which were the most popular. This presentation focuses on use of data visualization for library assessment, data analysis of over 1,000 responses, and emergent themes, such as connections between topics and keywords. The brainstorming worksheet, changes to curriculum, and ways instructors might use this in their own classrooms will also be shared.

"The Library is Home for a Lot of Us Engineers:" How Engineering Majors Experience Library Space

The Engineering Library & Technology Commons, a specialized library embedded in the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri-Columbia, collects a battery of statistics showing that users value its robust reserve textbook collection, study spaces, and wide range of technologies available for checkout or onsite use. In January 2019, librarians augmented this information by surveying students about their perceptions of the library space. While the responses do reveal engineering students’ deep appreciation of library resources, they also illuminate the different learning communities that flourish in the library and students’ surprisingly acute awareness of the unique role that the library’s “third space” plays in their academic journeys.

A Reprieve for Sisyphus: How a Rotating ILL Task Schedule Provides Full Task Coverage and Variety for Staff

The Greek myth of Sisyphus, a king doomed to push a rock up a hill for all eternity, can be seen as a metaphor for working in interlibrary loan (ILL). Staff spend a lot of time completing requests, and just when they are close to being done, more requests roll in. This sometimes makes it difficult to work on other projects outside of ILL requests. One ILL department uses a rotating task schedule to provide staff with more variety and allow more time to work on administrative needs, special projects, and other outside duties, while still allowing for ILL requests to be processed in a timely manner. This presentation will discuss how and why this model was developed and the benefits and potential pitfalls.

Mentoring and You: Providing Meaningful Experiences for Student Employees

Student workers provide essential labor for academic libraries, but aside from a paycheck, what can they get from their employment experience in return? On-campus employment affords supervisors and students the chance to develop a mentoring relationship. Because so many student employees are new to the workforce, their supervisors have the chance to help them develop the skills that will serve them well in their employment after graduation. This interactive session will explore how supervisors can provide mentorship and opportunities for personal growth by helping employees to identify and cultivate their strengths.

Creating Library FAQ Guidelines Using Query Spy

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) pages are part of many academic and health science library public-facing websites and are an essential wayfinding tool for patrons. Since 2010, the University of Nebraska Medical Center Library has used the FAQ system available from Springshare’s LibAnswers platform to host “ready-made” reference questions that direct users to the answers for commonly asked questions. The FAQ is full of questions and answers that the library staff thought met users' needs. It received moderate cleanup attention over the past eight years but could not tell if it contained the right information organized in the best way. In June 2018, the FAQ was overlaid with the Query Spy tool, a Springshare analytic feature that tracks users' questions (text entered in a query box on the main page or FAQ widget), IP addresses, results, and query dates. The queries were reviewed and the overall FAQ activity quarterly through June 2019. This presentation will provide an overview of common FAQ problems, selected interventions, issues specific to an academic health sciences library, and present a procedure that can be coordinated with QuerySpy for other SpringShare users.

We Need Diverse Digital Resources

Libraries strive to create a welcoming space for all members of the public. Part of that process involves engaging with diverse communities and building understanding within those communities. The following presentation will point librarians toward materials that reflect and explore the experiences of others, help others learn new resources, and incorporate multicultural artifacts. The Portal to Texas History features multicultural artifacts that users can examine. These artifacts represent a range of experiences from different groups of people including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people of color, people with disabilities, and other minorities. The digital library content can aid librarians and educators to supplement diversity-oriented programs and curriculum.

Town-Town-Gown Relations: Managing a County-Wide Collaborative Digital Community Archive

Six years ago, the Poweshiek History Preservation Project (PHPP), a collaboration between an academic and a public library, was launched to preserve and share items illustrating the history of Poweshiek County, Iowa. Within a few years, the project expanded to include the Grinnell Historical Museum and outreach to other county historical organizations. Over 1,400 contributions from individuals have been secured thus far, as well as digitization of thousands of items from the library and museum collections. In this presentation, the presenters will look back over the history of this project with a focus on the relationships between the institutions that have contributed to this archive, primarily Grinnell College, Drake Community Library, and the Grinnell Historical Museum.

The Tool We Never Teach: The Good, the Bad, and the End (Point) of Google’s Usefulness in First-Year Experience Assignments

Librarians Google. Professors Google. Our students Google. So, how do we Google better? How do we help students find local news, editorials, government and raw data, archival collections, information on public companies, job descriptions, employment profiles, and even activist groups? The presentation will provide context, discussion, and examples for activities. The activities will be one-shot focused, but will also include examples for expansion into multi-session teaching. The tracked courses consisted of first-year students, unlikely to have used an academic library, with two or three page general topic assignments.

This presentation will address the parameters, procedures, and priorities that were established for the expenditure of this income in the first year and the challenges that the head of FAL faced. It also will touch on adjustments to be made in the second year. The session will include a discussion among attendees and the presenter about practical issues that arise in collection management, such as how to divide the resources appropriately to support expanding programs and weigh the immediate preferences of faculty members against broader objectives of evolving libraries. The session will also discuss the role of the librarian in building collections when the money comes from outside the library. Come to this session prepared to provide insights and join the conversation.
