Item Open Access Accessing GIS Data for Oregon through the Internet(2003-06-19T19:59:23Z) Nicholson, Andrew; Sproles, EricFinding accurate and useful data is one of the biggest challenges in working with GIS. Although free GIS data is available over the internet, few web sites provide an easy-to-use, navigable interface, which allows the user to find what they want. The University of Oregon Libraries sought to remedy this problem when it wanted to provide access to its own collection of geospatial datasets. By incorporating technologies, such as Flash, SQL, and the php web environment, the University of Oregon Libraries has produced a set of attractive, easy to use web indexes for use by students and the Oregon public. While the indexes provide downloadable links and information for datasets, the Libraries plan on utilizing these indexes as a foundation for providing access to aerial photos, maps and other GIS data.Item Open Access Adding Serials To Institutional Repositories(2008-07-14) Grenci, Mary C.This presentation is a revised and shortened version of the author's presentation to the 17th annual North Carolina Serials Conference, which can be found at: https://hdl.handle.net/1794/5914Item Open Access ALFIN en México: Information Professionals' Approach to Teaching Information Literacy(SALALM LXIII, 2018-07-02) Maxson, Bronwen K.; Reyes, Betsaida M.; Hicks, AlisonAccording to IIE, the numbers of international students studying in the US has been growing every year for the past 12 years. Since 2% of all international students come Mexico thus the study will focus on this country. In particular, the researchers are interested in information literacy practices of Mexican librarians and information professionals. The objective of this paper presentation is twofold: to share preliminary survey results and second to add to the body of knowledge regarding the current landscape of Mexicans librarians’ approach to information literacy. This presentation suggests that learning about students prior experiences with information literacy in Mexico could have a positive impact both for the student and the librarian. The student’s experience is validated and built upon and the librarian can modify their current teaching methods to adequately bridge the disjunctions, if any, that students may experience when studying in a North American research university.Item Open Access All the water in the ocean-- all the books on the sea: collaborative collection development in Oregon's marine laboratory branch libraries and beyond(Timberline Acquisitions Institute, 2009-05) Butler, Barbara A.; Webster, J.Item Open Access All the water in the ocean—all the books on the sea.(2009) Butler, Barbara A.; Webster, J.Item Open Access All the water in the ocean—all the books on the sea: collaborative collection development in Oregon’s marine laboratory branch libraries and beyond.(2009) Butler, Barbara A.; Webster, J.Item Open Access Another Satisfied Customer? Understanding Student and Faculty Use of Digitized Primary Sources(2007-07-20T15:46:22Z) Briston, Heather; Breakstone, ElizabethFindings from interviews with faculty and students regarding their use of physical and digitized primary sources in teaching and learning.Item Open Access Archives Management and Audio Preservation: Collection Inventory, Preservation Assessment, Prioritization for Preservation(Oregon Tribal Archives Institute, Corvallis, OR, 2012-08) Georgitis, NathanThis presentation provides a brief introduction to three important activities in the management of historical sound recordings in archives: collection inventory, preservation assessment, and prioritization for preservation. These activities put an archives in the best position to plan preservation and access projects, discuss projects with collaborators and service providers, and apply for preservation funding.Item Open Access Automating for Success: Making Invisible Work Visible(University of Oregon, 2023-10-27) Harlan, Lydia; Buxton, Kristin; Hayden, GabrieleKnowing your value and optimizing your time can help meet your professional and institutional goals. We describe how an ad-hoc team of people from three different departments, with three different primary goals, were able to successfully complete a project to automate the collection and dissemination of cost-per-use data for continuing resources, saving our colleagues many hours of work, and creating a dashboard that requires little maintenance. In the process we learned a bunch of current technology—Power BI, APIs, and data visualization, to name a few that we can apply to other projects.Item Open Access BI with blogs: or, Bibliographic instruction in a wired world(University of Oregon, 2004-02-28) Jablonski, Jon R.Presentation given Feb. 28, 2004 at the Online Northwest conference, reviewing the potential use of blogs in bibliographic instruction.Item Open Access Blackboard for Instructors(2003-05-08T13:18:19Z) Johnson, J QA guide for instructors getting started with Blackboard at the UO.Item Open Access Bootstrapping a Library Ideation Space: Creating a Low-Tech Student Collaboration Room(University of Oregon, 2019) Snipes, Genifer; Stoddart, ErinThe Library was approached by the student-led University Innovation Fellows group to create a new interdisciplinary ideation space on campus. Based on Design Thinking principles, the student proposal was the creation of a low-to-no technology space that emphasized active learning through brainstorming, cross-disciplinary collaboration, fostering creativity, and idea generation and development. This new collaborative space would complement existing high-technology makerspaces and design labs already in place in the libraries and across campus. The proposed ideation space directly supported campus-wide innovation initiatives and the Library’s strategic plan to create and maintain experiential, flexible, and inspirational environments. In response to this proposal, the Library and student fellows formed a task force to research the basics behind design thinking and other ideation spaces found in libraries around the country. Project stipulations included remodeling an existing space to be shared with library staff and functions on a short timeline, limited budget, and restrictions that come with remodeling a historic building. The student group conducted a preliminary campus needs assessment through surveying undergraduate students on collaborative spaces. The task force decided to conduct focus groups with students and other stakeholders to understand their space needs and expectations, including furniture recommendations. The project also required changes to library room policies, operational changes for the staff space, and designing metrics to be used to later assess the project. This poster will address how ideation spaces can be implemented in academic libraries of varying sizes due to their focus on low-to-no technology needs and relatively small funding.Item Open Access Building a Digital Collection in CONTENTdm®(University of Oregon.
