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 Adapting Evidence-Based Practices to Improve Library Instruction: Using customized tools to support peer mentoring and observation(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2019) Oberlies, Mary K.; Buxton, Kristin; Zeidman-Karpinski, AnnieTo improve the quality of our instruction, and to contribute to student success, we designed an instructional development program using peer mentoring and observation grounded in evidence-based practices. We identified three methods of peer observation and mentoring to create an innovative progressively in-depth program that helps librarians understand what is happening in the classroom, and works within a community of practice to identify ways to improve the quality of our instruction. These tools, used in higher education, were then customized to work for information literacy instruction: Teaching Squares, the Teaching Practices Inventory - Information Literacy Instruction, and the Classroom Observation Protocol for Information Literacy. These tools help librarians identify evidence-based practices, understand what occurred in their classrooms, and lead to student-focused teaching. This article discusses the development of these tools and initial findingsItem 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 Adios!(Nelson Poynter Memorial Library, 2015-06-03) Hixson, Carol G.Item Open Access Adula californiensis(2013-03-13) Rudy, Paul Jr.; Rudy, Lynn Hay; Shanks, Alan; Butler, Barbara A.Item Open Access Advances in Serials Management, Volume 7 (Book review)(Elsevier Science, Inc., 2001-09) Grenci, Mary C.; Hepfer, Cindy; Malinowski, Teresa; Gammon, JuliaItem Open Access Aequorea victoria(2013-01-29) Rudy, Paul; Rudy, Lynn Hay; Shanks, Alan; Butler, Barbara A.; Piazzola, Clara; Hiebert, Terra C.Item Open Access Afterword(UC Berkeley, 2022-02-01) Lee, Corliss S.; Lym, BrianWhile working on this book, we encountered other intriguing writings that also offered practical approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion in libraries. We also found ourselves asking more questions that we hope other library researchers will someday answer. This afterword is by no means a comprehensive overview of DEI initiatives in libraries. Although recommendations are summarized here, the articles all deserve a fuller reading.Item Open Access Against the Odds: Reflections on Asian American Identity and Multicultural, Shared Leadership in Academic Libraries(Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2017-03-28) Lim, AdrieneThe author of this essay describes her personal experiences as an Asian American woman, and the influence of these experiences on the multicultural, shared-leadership practice she brings to academic libraries. Drawing upon over two decades of library management and leadership experience, the author reflects upon the reasons why more Asian Americans and members of other marginalized groups are needed within academic library leadership, and why existing biases and persistent discrimination have made it difficult for them to attain these roles.Item Open Access Alderia modesta(2013-03-13) Dougen, I.E.; Wu, Xing; Hiebert, T.C.; Butler, Barbara A.; Shanks, A.L.Item 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 Lives Matter(Nelson Poynter Memorial Library, 2015-01-25) Hixson, Carol G.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 Allorchestes angusta(2013-03-12) Rudy, Paul Jr.; Rudy, Lynn Hay; Shanks, Alan; Butler, Barbara A.Item Open Access Americorophium brevis(2013-03-12) Rudy, Paul Jr.; Rudy, Lynn Hay; Shanks, Alan; Butler, Barbara A.
