Subject: non-community member library access
Message-ID: <WED.1.AUG.2012.093418.0400.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Do any academic libraries allow non-community members to access electronic
resources in ways other than as walk-ins? I have been tasked with finding
this out. All of our license agreements specify that access is restricted
to authorized users which are defined as current faculty, staff and
students and (in some cases) walk-in users. Has anyone negotiated access
for users not covered in this definition? We're pursuing alternative
revenue streams and want to explore the possibility of allowing
non-community members to purchase library access.
Thanks,

SUNY - Westchester Community College does not provide remote access to anyone outside the campus community (current students, faculty, staff).
Selling access is an interesting concept, but I wonder if it would be counter to the vendor contracts.

One area that I think rarely gets enough attention in the library world, is design. In fact, libraries, in my opinion, have let their concerns about creating access gateways run amok?to the point that our web sites become so bogged down with gateways, they become obstacles to access.
Dan Brown did an excellent job of wedding 5 basic principles of design to information architecture which I use as a checklist to evaluate any change to our web design (please don't look at our current site. We are migrating to a new design that will incorporate these principles).

If you pay for the recording, you get a couple extra principles ;)

I just read the book "User Experience (UX) Design for Libraries" which,

IMHO, for your library website to live without major subsequent redesigns

From the vendor side, Project MUSE defines the user community broadly
basically saying that if you consider someone a patron, and are willing
to manage their access, they can use MUSE:

I know a number of schools charge alumni a small fee and then provide
access to MUSE and other databases that allow alumni access either for
free or for an additional charge. But I suspect that the business and
STM databases that outsiders would pay real money for are also the ones
with the most restrictive licenses.
I hope this helps,
Brian

Bowdoin is one of 35 libraries in the US who have joined a JSTOR Alumni access pilot. The cost was very reasonable and it has been an enormous hit with our alums. Otherwise, walk-in is it unless a license allows.

Hi Stew,
Our Alumni Association at San Diego State allows anyone to purchase a
membership. When discussing this situation with our Ebsco representative
he had no issue with our allowing anyone in the Alumni Association to
access the alumni version of their databases. He stated that some open
professional associations are providing this type of database access to
their membership.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] non-community member library access
Do any academic libraries allow non-community members to access electronic resources in ways other than as walk-ins? I have been tasked with finding this out. All of our license agreements specify that access is restricted to authorized users which are defined as current faculty, staff and students and (in some cases) walk-in users. Has anyone negotiated access for users not covered in this definition? We're pursuing alternative revenue streams and want to explore the possibility of allowing non-community members to purchase library access.

I asked this question several years ago when an out of town alum complained that she didn't have remote access. Most places didn't even have alum remote access, let alone unafilliated.
Of the databases that we subscribed to at the time, only ProQuest would grant alum access. The fee was something like 15% of the database subscription price and the was available on a very limited set of databases. When I told the Alumni Office the cost of access to that one database, I got told "Never Mind".

/Gerry
In the last year, few acronyms have dominated higher education discussions and blogs more than MOOC. The first massive open online course appeared in 2008 but recent initiatives by universities like MIT and Stanford and organizations like Coursera and Udacity have brought the idea to the forefront. They have also raised questions about whether the rise of MOOCs spells opportunity or danger for higher education.
On Tuesday, July 31 at 1:00 p.m. ET, NGLC welcomed George Siemens, creator of the first MOOC and associate director of the Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute at Athabasca University, to discuss, "MOOCs: Open Online Courses as Levers for Change in Higher Education."

Free Webinar > Managing the Print-to-Digital Transition > August 21 > 2 PM - 3PM (ET)
/Gerry
This event takes place on Tuesday, August 21, 2 to 3 p.m. ET.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Communications Commission announced a blueprint to get all schools using digital textbooks in five years. While not mandated, the initiative encouraged schools to make the switch from print to digital materials based on estimated cost-savings and academic improvement?because print textbooks are expensive and digital content can be more personalized. But there are questions as to whether digital textbooks are actually cheaper, especially when factoring in the cost of the devices needed to deliver them, and whether digital content too closely resembles its print counterpart. Given the various devices, publishers, and content formats that have emerged in the education market, school districts are moving toward their digital goals in many different ways. Our guests will discuss their approaches to using digital content and the benefits, challenges, costs, and savings driving their strategy.
Presenters:
Jay McPhail, director of instructional technology, Riverside Unified school district, Calif.
James Ponce, superintendent, McAllen Independent school district, Texas
Moderator:
Jason Tomassini, staff writer, Education Week
An archived version of the event will be available within 24 hours after the original presentation.

Colleagues/
An opportunity to be MOOCed ...
/Gerry
In the interest of exploring MOOCs and the various discussions they?ve given rise to, Hybrid Pedagogy will host MOOC MOOC: a mini-MOOC (if there is such a thing), a meta-MOOC (if they aren?t all this already) -- a MOOC about MOOCs -- beginning on August 12. Over the course of one week, MOOC MOOC will explore the pedagogical approach, the sustainability of the form, and alternatives to MOOCs.
[snip] This experimental course will take place August 12th through 18th. [snip].
August 12th will be ... [a] day to get acclimated. You?ll have a chance to familiarize yourself with the Canvas LMS that serves as the launching pad for MOOC MOOC. [snip]
And we do mean running. Condensing something as expansive as a MOOC into six short days is a challenge from the instructional end... But that?s nothing compared to the MOOC olympics you?ll be inventing, collaborating, improvising, and conversing your way through during those six days. Prepare to be involved -- to participate, create, deconstruct, and re-create -- from opening bell Monday morning, to happy hour on Friday. (Saturday is more of a feet-on-the-desk, wearing-pajamas kind of day.)
You?ll probably spend 1-2 hours each day with MOOC MOOC, ideally little morsels of time spread liberally throughout your other activities and work; however, don?t fret if you can?t commit that much time. There are lots of ways to approach a MOOC, whether as a participant or even just as a lurker. Jump into the course when you can, and you?ll see lots of different options for how to engage.
[snip]
Each day will include:
* A short prompt or video to get you started;
* One or two collaborative exercises that will ask you to bend your mind away from your preconceived notions of MOOCs, and toward new ideas and potentials;
* Plenty of opportunities to ?talk back? to the course material, to one another, and to us, your slightly insane hosts;
* An implicit (or explicit) expectation that you will Tweet, blog, Tumblr, Facebook, and otherwise let your ideas about MOOCs and MOOC MOOC bleed into the Internet.
Please note: You will need both a Twitter and a Google account to fully participate!
It?s going to be exciting, extemporaneous, and daring... And we?re happy you?re along for the ride. To jump-start your thinking about MOOC MOOC, you are welcome to join us for a Twitter discussion tomorrow focused on the use, abuse, and potentials of the video lecture. David Stavens, CEO of Udacity, will be joining us for the chat as ... [the]special guest.

CourseSmart, a leading supplier of e-textbooks for higher education, shared the results of a two-year study on the use of digital textbooks which had been commissioned by Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC) and AccessText Network (ATN) following a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). The study tracked the reactions of 1,185 higher education students who participated in an ebook rental program, some of whom required accessibility that isn?t available in print editions.

Subject: Google Scholar Metrics: an unreliable tool for assessing

Message-ID: <SAT.11.AUG.2012.113408.0200.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
A very well reputed bibliometrics team of the Granada University, Spain, has carried an study on the flaws that Google Scholar Metrics have, that impede its use for evaluating scientific journals.
Delgado-L?pez-C?zar, Emilio; Cabezas-Clavijo, ?lvaro. ?Google Scholar Metrics: an unreliable tool for assessing scientific journals?. El profesional de la informaci?n, 2012, July-August, v. 21, n. 4, pp. 419-427.

Abstract
We introduce Google Scholar Metrics (GSM), a new bibliometric product of Google that aims at providing the H-index for scientific journals and other information sources. We conduct a critical review of GSM showing its main characteristics and possibilities as a tool for scientific evaluation. We discuss its coverage along with the inclusion of repositories, bibliographic control, and its options for browsing and searching. We conclude that, despite Google Scholar?s value as a source for scientific assessment, GSM is an immature product with many shortcomings, and therefore we advise against its use for evaluation purposes. However, the improvement of these shortcomings would place GSM as a serious competitor to the other existing products for evaluating scientific journals.
Keywords
Google, Google Scholar, Google Scholar Metrics, Scientific Journals, Repositories, H-Index, Bibliometric Indicators, Scientific Assessment.

Acceptance notifications will be issued by 15 September 2012. Please complete the poster proposal abstract template (MSWord template or Adobe PDF template) and submit to ismith at sun.ac.za.
What is an Electronic Poster or ePoster?
An electronic poster utilises a large monitor and computer to display multimedia versions of a poster. It gives an opportunity for a computer savvy presenter in the poster session to more effectively convey information that would not necessarily be possible with a traditional printed poster. It also enhances visualisation to attract interest of attendees. Electronic posters are intended to provide a display of information that is not possible with a traditional printed poster. Embedding multimedia content, along with static elements, such as titles, logos, and summaries, would be a good way to convey information. Examples of dynamic visual elements include videos, slide shows, animated charts or graphs, scrolling text, or 3D rotation of a model.
The intention of an electronic poster does not include attracting visitors to stay for a long oral, video, or slideshow presentation. Display elements can either loop for a minute or less, or be activated and controlled by the poster presenter on command. Remember, you are to interact with those who are interested in your electronic poster, not give a presentation to an audience.
Guidelines
1. Please create your electronic poster using MSPowerPoint or OpenOffice presentation software.
2. The electronic poster can consist of 1 to 5 slides.
3. Use animation and multimedia content to enhance your electronic poster.
4. Set the electronic poster up as a slide show, with slide transitions included.
5. It will be your own responsibility to ensure that the electronic poster displays correctly on the day prior to the start of the Conference. All slide shows will be pre-uploaded by the 6th of November 2012.
6. The poster title and your name should be clearly displayed on each slide.
7. No audio speakers will be available.
8. The electronic poster stations will have no connection to the Internet. Therefore please do not embed any items that require Internet connection.
9. After being set up, the electronic poster should be able to loop without any human intervention (e.g. avoid clickable hyperlinks).
10. The final electronic poster will be subject to quality control.
Please submit your completed ePoster by 15 October 2012 by e-mailing it to: ismith at sun.ac.za. ePosters are to be displayed throughout each day of the Conference.

******** PLEASE EXCUSE THE CROSS-POSTING ********
WEBINAR: NISO/DCMI Webinar: Metadata for Managing Scientific Research Data
DATE: August 22, 2012
TIME: 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)
EVENT WEBPAGE: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/dcmi/scientific_data/
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The past few years have seen increased attention to national and
international policies for data archiving and sharing. Chief motivators
include the proliferation of digital data and a growing interest in
research data and supplemental information as a part of the framework for
scholarly communication. Key objectives include not only preservation of
scientific research data, but making data accessible to verify research
findings and support the reuse and repurposing of data.
Metadata figures prominently in these undertakings, and is critical for the
success of any data repositories or archiving initiative, hence increased
attention to metadata for scientific data -- specifically for metadata
standards development and interoperability, data curation and metadata
generation processes, data identifiers, name authority control (for
scientists), Linked Data, ontology and vocabulary work, and data citation
standards.
This NISO/DCMI webinar will provide a historical perspective and an
overview of current metadata practices for managing scientific data, with
examples drawn from operational repositories and community-driven data
science initiatives. It will discuss challenges and potential solutions for
metadata generation, identifiers, name authority control, Linked Data, and
data citation.
SPEAKERS
Jane Greenberg, professor at the School of Information and Library Science
(SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and director of
the SILS Metadata Research Center, is well known for research and writing
on topics ranging from automatic metadata creation to metadata best
practices, ontology research, Semantic Web, data repositories, thesauri,
and scientific data curation. She has served as Principal Investigator or
partner on a number of grants from the Institute of Museum and Library
Services, National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of
Health, and actively participates in organizations such as the American
Library Association, American Society for Information Science and
Technology, and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. Jane is the recipient
of the 2012 Margaret Mann Citation from the Association for Library
Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS).
Thomas Baker, Chief Information Officer of the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative, has recently co-chaired the W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working
Group and the W3C Incubator Group on Library Linked Data.
REGISTRATION
Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm
Eastern on August 22, 2012. Discounts are available for NISO and DCMI

Earlier this month I asked you to fill out a brief survey about the web
browsers you make a formal commitment to report. This was a follow-up to a
similar survey request I'd sent to web4lib in May. A number of you had
asked to see the results once I'd compiled them. Please see
http://bit.ly/OlX6ws for the Google doc summarizing the results.
There are two tables, each with the same basic data. The upper chart is all
responses (a total of 23) and the lower is the 18 from self-reported
academic libraries. Each chart includes, on separate lines, the data from
people who responded to the original request (to Web4Lib) in May and the
second request (to Code4Lib) in August.

We use a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet that I built a couple summers ago. It counts button clicks in various categories by hour and saves to a shared drive. Each desktop machine runs its own uniquely named instance, and results are consolidated using another macro-enabled Excel sheet at the end of the month/semester/year/&c. I'm happy to share it - it would require a little bit of editing of the VBA code to make it run.

We use LibAnalytics from Springshare. I highly recommend it! It does MORE than just ref desk stats. You can track anything and create any form you like. Very adaptable.

Hi,

This Spring we moved from LibStats to Gimlet [1]. It is a hosted, upgraded version of LibStats from the folks that created LibStats. It was easy to work with them to migrate our existing data from LibStats to Gimlet and our librarians have been pleased with the familiar interface. I like the low cost and not having to maintain yet another system.

Subject: Music Discovery Requirements now available
Message-ID: <MON.20.AUG.2012.174403.0000.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
The Music Discovery Requirements document is now available on the Music Library Association's web site. http://committees.musiclibraryassoc.org/ETSC/MDR
The Music Discovery Requirements document addresses the unique needs posed by music materials which must be considered for successful discovery. This document discusses the issues and when possible gives concrete recommendations for discovery interfaces. Three appendixes compile technical details of the specific indexing recommendations in spreadsheets. The document was created under the auspices of Music Library Association's Emerging Technologies and Services Committee and officially approved by the Music Library Association's Board of Directors.
The Music Discovery Requirements document group welcomes your comments, questions, and other feedback on the document. The group is particularly interested in hearing how the document is being used, and in working with vendors and developers to create discovery interfaces optimized for the unique needs of music materials.

Hi Liz,
I am now migrating the library over to a new Intranet, based off of Wordpress and Buddypress; we started using Formidable for Stat gathering. They have a free and paid version, but is a really nice tool, and used for statistics gathering, reporting time off, library personnel forms, etc. http://formidablepro.com/

Funny you should ask. Every time I think Silverlight is dead, someone asks for it. Not very often though. But it does seem like there are a few universities in the local area that are creating content for their students with Silverlight.

Silverlight is directly connected to the video service SWANK that we subscribe to. Initially I had my doubts and also struggled with Windows 7 issues but then the problems cleared up all by themselves. Then, I discovered a flip4mac enhancement that allows a conversion of Silverlight so now it plays seamlessly on the Mac OS. This is the only experience we have with it but so far, so good.

I am interested in finding out what other libraries are doing with
Silverlight. Do you receive many requests from customers to have it
available? Have you installed it on some of your public computers or
on all of your public computers or on none of your public computers?
Please feel free to reply off-list.
I appreciate your responses and input.

Subject: SWIB12 - Registration Open (Semantic Web in Libraries, Cologne,
26 - 28 Nov)
Message-ID: <WED.22.AUG.2012.153731.0000.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
The programme for SWIB12 (Semantic Web in Libraries) Conference in Cologne, 26 - 28 November 2012, has been published.
Register now at http://swib.org/swib12
Towards an international LOD library ecosystem
To an ever increasing extent Linked Open Data (LOD) is developing into a mainstream topic, with more and more organizations announcing LOD projects and services. Furthermore, and especially during the last two years, Linked Open Data has received a lot more attention from the library world. Examples ranging from the Library of Congress' initiative "A Bibliographic Framework for the Digital Age", the Conference of European National Librarians and their vote to support the open licensing of their data, groups like LODLAM, IFLA'S Semantic Web Special Interest Group, to the point of library system vendors and providers discussing and experimenting with Linked Data technology - all these clearly reflect that LOD has gained a lot of momentum in library land.
The question today is about how to ensure that LOD won't be a temporary hype but that it will gain ground in the scenery of future infrastructures. SWIB12 will focus on the adaption of Semantic Web approaches in applications for libraries and science. In the last years major efforts have been put into generating LOD datasets from legacy systems and into promoting the LOD approach towards a global and open information space. Upcoming challenges will involve the strategic and technical alignment of catalogues and legacy systems in libraries and the authoring environments for scholarly communication - both in a data and service infrastructure based on the principles of the Semantic Web.

Message-ID: <WED.22.AUG.2012.114621.0700.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Hello!
De-lurking to ask a question about performance indicators and
statistics for research guides and pathfinders. What sort of
benchmarks do you use to determine whether a research guide should be
weeded from your collection? A couple of years ago, we did a mass cull
of the research guides on our website in preparation for a move to
LibGuides. While we love the LibGuides platform, our usage stats
haven't rebounded the way we thought they would, and we've discovered
that the benchmarks we used prior to the conversion don't really work
for the guides we migrated to the new platform.
Any ideas you'd like to share are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here in Beaufort SC we are using equipment from Bibliotheca that doubles as a checkout terminal and a pay station for fines & fees.
The unit has the ability to accept coins & bills and take payments with Credit card through Authorize.net payment gateway.
It authenticates patrons via SIP and works very well.

This event takes place on Tuesday, August 21, 2 to 3 p.m. ET.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Communications Commission announced a blueprint to get all schools using digital textbooks in five years. While not mandated, the initiative encouraged schools to make the switch from print to digital materials based on estimated cost-savings and academic improvement?because print textbooks are expensive and digital content can be more personalized. But there are questions as to whether digital textbooks are actually cheaper, especially when factoring in the cost of the devices needed to deliver them, and whether digital content too closely resembles its print counterpart. Given the various devices, publishers, and content formats that have emerged in the education market, school districts are moving toward their digital goals in many different ways. Our guests will discuss their approaches to using digital content and the benefits, challenges, costs, and savings driving their strategy.
Presenters:
Jay McPhail, director of instructional technology, Riverside Unified school district, Calif.
James Ponce, superintendent, McAllen Independent school district, Texas
Moderator:
Jason Tomassini, staff writer, Education Week
An archived version of the event will be available within 24 hours after the original presentation.

August 22, 2012, 10:49 am / Angela Chen
Several universities have recently tried a new model for delivering textbooks in hopes of saving students money: requiring purchase of e-textbooks and charging students a materials fee to cover the costs. A recent report on some of those pilot projects, however, shows that many students find the e-textbooks ?clumsy? and prefer print.
The report is based on a survey conducted this spring of students and faculty at five universities where e-textbook projects were coordinated by Internet2, the high-speed networking group. Students praised the e-books for helping them save money but didn?t like reading on electronic devices. Many of them complained that the e-book platform was hard to navigate. In addition, most professors who responded said that they didn?t use the e-books? collaborative features, which include the ability to share notes or create links within the text.
The participating universities were Cornell, Indiana University at Bloomington, and the Universities of Minnesota, Virginia, and Wisconsin at Madison. The pilot is the result of a partnership between the institutions, Internet2, McGraw-Hill, and Courseload, an e-book broker. After paying $20,000 each, the participating institutions were provided with the Courseload platform and e-textbooks for up to 1,000 students to use. Each university was individually responsible for training professors and distributing the e-textbooks.
The pilot projects are based on a model pioneered at Indiana University in 2009 by Bradley C. Wheeler, the university?s vice president for information technology. The university buys bulk e-textbooks to distribute to students, who pay a mandatory course-materials fee to cover the costs, with the idea that the university can get a much better rate per book by buying in bulk.
Mr. Wheeler said he still believed in the approach, arguing that complaints about unfamiliarity are normal in any group adopting new technology.
[snip]
Twenty-four universities?including Dartmouth College, Middlebury College, and Michigan State University?will join the pilot program this fall.
Note: Iowa State University is participating in the Fall pilot program as well ...

Several universities have recently tried a new model for delivering textbooks in hopes of saving students money: requiring purchase of e-textbooks and charging students a materials fee to cover the costs. A recent report on some of those pilot projects, however, shows that many students find the e-textbooks ?clumsy? and prefer print.
The report is based on a survey conducted this spring of students and faculty at five universities where e-textbook projects were coordinated by Internet2, the high-speed networking group. Students praised the e-books for helping them save money but didn?t like reading on electronic devices. Many of them complained that the e-book platform was hard to navigate. In addition, most professors who responded said that they didn?t use the e-books? collaborative features, which include the ability to share notes or create links within the text.
The participating universities were Cornell, Indiana University at Bloomington, and the Universities of Minnesota, Virginia, and Wisconsin at Madison. The pilot is the result of a partnership between the institutions, Internet2, McGraw-Hill, and Courseload, an e-book broker. After paying $20,000 each, the participating institutions were provided with the Courseload platform and e-textbooks for up to 1,000 students to use. Each university was individually responsible for training professors and distributing the e-textbooks.
The pilot projects are based on a model pioneered at Indiana University in 2009 by Bradley C. Wheeler, the university?s vice president for information technology. The university buys bulk e-textbooks to distribute to students, who pay a mandatory course-materials fee to cover the costs, with the idea that the university can get a much better rate per book by buying in bulk.
Mr. Wheeler said he still believed in the approach, arguing that complaints about unfamiliarity are normal in any group adopting new technology.
[snip]
Twenty-four universities?including Dartmouth College, Middlebury College, and Michigan State University?will join the pilot program this fall.
Note: Iowa State University is participating in the Fall pilot program as well ...

This Spring we moved from LibStats to Gimlet [1]. It is a hosted, upgraded version of LibStats from the folks that created LibStats. It was easy to work with them to migrate our existing data from LibStats to Gimlet and our librarians have been pleased with the familiar interface. I like the low cost and not having to maintain yet another system.

Art Workshop for Librarians
Sign Up @ http://www.artmuseums.com/youthlibrarians.htm
Are you the one responsible for creating arts and crafts programs? Do
you need new creative art project ideas for your Summer Reading
Program or other events? Tired of the same ole, same ole. This is
your opportunity to develop a portfolio of ideas that you can use with
your Preschool through Teen visitors. This 4 week online workshop is
taught by an art professor who has first hand experience developing
library art programs. Interact with other Youth Librarians and a real
art professor. The online class is open 24/7. Access the online
workshop at your convenience.
Instructor Valerie Colston, M.A. is an art professor and author with
many years of experience developing and teaching art programs as an
Art Performer at several San Diego local libraries. She teaches 100
Art Ideas for Teachers at the University of California, Extension in
San Diego, California and a variety of Art history courses online
through colleges and universities. Her book 200 Projects to
Strengthen Your Art Skills published by Barrons Educational Series has
received outstanding reviews appearing in School Library Journal,
National Art Education Association newsletter, and more. Her "It's
Easy to be a Green Teen" appeared in the youth librarian publication
Voices of Youth Advocates October 09 issue. Teens Go Green! Tips,
Techniques, Tools and Themes for YA Programming. Libraries Unlimited
Professional guides for Young Adult Librarians Series 2011 will be
released this year.
Here's what youth librarians who have taken the class are saying about
the workshop:
In working on this workshop I have worked also on my Summer Reading
Program for our library. Week 3 gave so many ideas to use that it was
fun to do them and discover which ones would work well for our young
patrons. I now have crafts for at least 2 of the 4 books we will read
in my Youth Discussion Group. I am well ahead of the game.
I really enjoyed answering the questions about the piece of art in the
museum. I want to use some of the questions I learned this summer when
we read "Chasing Vermeer" because the book deals with a piece of art.
Thanks for all the help with one of my books for the Summer Reading Program.
Well, I had not thought about bonding art and books together in one
reading hour before, so I got new and interesting views of what to do.
Thank you for the wonderful ideas.
I had a great time brainstorming ideas and reading the suggestions everyone had!
I feel I learned how to study a painting in more depth. That a
painting is made up of many facets. The lines, colors and textures all
blend together to make one painting.
I gained lots of great ideas from everyone. The ideas were great and I
will incorporate some of them into my programs.
I will keep a copy of the different things I have learned in this
session of the class to apply it to painting I encounter. It is
exciting.
I bookmarked several of the sites presented in the lessons which will
come in handy when I get stuck for ideas. It also helps reading the
other's experiences in working with library patrons in crafts events.
Finding ideas are hard to find and this is a wealth of information for
myself and the library.
Thank you very much for the wonderful and interesting web-sites, you
mentioned. There are so great ideas.
I was delighted to find some new web sites for inspiration - many of
my students love to draw and I hope to integrate some of the cartoon
drawing lessons in to our weekly book club meetings, possibly in the
creation of bookmarks, etc.
It has been great having so much information all in one place. I
enjoyed browsing through the many websites & links. Many are new to
me. I appreciate all of your suggestions for organization, supplies,
storage, recycling, and art tips & resources.
Where do I begin! I have learned about so many resources. I really
liked the online scavenger hunt, what a great idea. I also really
loved the letter writing with beads.
This week gave me a great many resources to use in our library. I
really had to think for the scavenger hunt but I love the idea and did
work our a hunt. I also thought the "wanted" poster was fun as well .
. .
There really are a wealth of information and ideas to explore.
I would recommend this class to others. After all I took this class
because my supervisor recommended it to me.

Hello Morgan,
I'm the Product Manager for EZproxy which includes the EZproxy Hosting
Service. Our WorldShare Management Services (WMS) interoperates with
EZproxy when EZproxy is deployed at your institution or if its
deployed using our Hosting Service. If you use the Identity Management
services provided with WMS, you can configure EZproxy to authenticate
directly to them.
We have a number of EZproxy Hosting Institutions accessing WMS this
way today as well as a number of institution-deployed EZproxy servers
also doing the same.
You get to use the same credentials, then, accessing WMS and EZproxy.
If you want to discuss more you can email me off list at hamparid at oclc.org

Depending on the scale that you want to achieve, Adobe Connect and WebEx
are options to consider.

Please join us September 11, 1:00 pm Eastern for a webinar on how to reduce the cost of education for students while improving learning outcomes through the use of open textbooks and open educational resources. This webinar features three leaders who are actively engaged in different strategies to promote open access learning materials to improve student outcomes:
David Harris, Editor-in-chief OpenStax College at Connexions. OpenStax College is a nonprofit organization committed to improving student access to quality learning materials. Their free textbooks are developed and peer-reviewed by educators to ensure they are readable, accurate, and meet the scope and sequence requirements of your course. [snip]
Norman Bier, Associate Director, Community College Open Learning Initiative (CC-OLI) Project at Carnegie Mellon University. CC-OLI is establishing a consortium of community colleges to enact a large scale, systems-change process that increases efficiency in the way instruction is developed, delivered, evaluated, and continuously improved. [snip]
Thomas Madsen, CEO Bookboon. Bookboon.com publishes free and openly available eBooks for students and business professionals. The Books can be downloaded in PDF without registration. Their mission is that students should not have to pay for any textbooks to attend college. [snip]

Message-ID: <THU.30.AUG.2012.084916.0600.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
**Please forgive cross-posting**
Hi Folks!
As you crank to get those last things done before the long holiday weekend
(and props to those of you actually working most of this weekend - that's
me too :0), I'd like to invite you to do something *fun*.
There's an energetic group of smart and talented library, museum and
archive evangelists (called #sxswLAM - check us out on the Facebook and the
Twitter) who are ready to take the annual South by Southwest Interactive
(SXSWi) Conference by storm to engage the creators of our digital present
and future -- and invite them into the overall greatness and awesomeness of
libraries.
A SXSW talk can really make a difference. I did a library advocacy talk
there last year (highlighting our struggles with eBooks and calling the
community to action) and it was covered by Time magazine online! The
author didn't realize that libraries were in trouble, but now that he
knows, he took action (including sharing his story to a huge audience).
Score!
To help get the library message into this extremely important community,
please take a look at the sessions proposed by librarians - (they are
gathered here: http://www.sxswlam.info/ ) and vote for the ones you
think should make it into the conference! Heck -- just vote for all of
them. They are all great!
Deadline to vote is this Friday (Aug 31) so as you're doing your own bit to
make libraries awesome, you might enjoy taking a minute to support those
who want to spread the good news of libraries far and wide.
Thanks!
Carson
PS - My proposed talk this year is targeted at bringing library issues into
the mainstream at SXSW - although libraries are not in the title or program
description, libraries are a prominent part of my talk. After all, they
are places of great convergence *and* great specialization -- and
ultimately offer choice to all. Sneaky, eh!? I have no idea if this
approach will work or not, but you have to go for broke at SXSW. You can
see more at: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/1689

Subject: QR codes and accessibility
Message-ID: <FRI.31.AUG.2012.152930.0400.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Hi. I've received an interesting question that I'm hoping someone here
might be able to shed some light on. Looking at what we do from an ADA
compliance point of view, we are required to provide the same
information to patrons with disabilities as we are to patrons without
disabilities. Specifically, I was asked what libraries do to make QR
codes ADA-compliant, i.e. how does a visually impaired or totally
blind patron access the same information that a sighted person, using
a QR code, can access with their smartphone?
I must admit, I am having a hard time figuring out what the issues
really are, and I haven't found anything very specific on the web
either. I think there are a couple of issues (at least!) with this,
and I'm wondering if any libraries out there have addressed this in
any way?
Presumably if someone has a phone with an app that can read print
(i.e. hard copy print such as posters, fliers, handouts), we could put
the URL next to the QR code, so that the phone could read it. We
should be doing that anyway, in order to provide access for people
without smartphones. I don't know if phones are able to detect that
there is a QR code nearby and direct a visually impaired patron
towards it (?), or if phones that can read physical print items can
also detect a QR code within that print page, and decode it and direct
the user to a website.
If anyone has any thoughts or insights on this, or any experience to
share on what their library does, I would be very grateful for your
feedback.
Many thanks,
Deborah Stanley

I don't have an answer on the ADA issue. But the issue is actually slight more (or less) complicated, since most new smart-phones have touch screens rather than buttons. These phones are inherently difficult for the visually impaired to use.

Hi. Yes, I'm discovering more about this as I dig into it, and I can
see there must be all kinds of problems. Interestingly, there is a new
Android phone (or software you can download to your Android phone)
called Georgie, which is for visually impaired users:
http://paritynews.com/hardware/item/52-georgie-smartphone-for-the-blind-visually-impaired
. It's from the UK. Looks like you can get it here too:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/16/georgie-app-offers-up-android-features-and-voice-guided-menus-visually-impaired/
Someone just told me that SIRI on the iPhone can read QR codes, btw.

Hi Everybody,
I'm not very techie, but I am happy to report that there will be programs at our Library this fall called "iPhone Help for People with Visual Disabilities" in partnership with the CNIB.? The CNIB's local Assistive Technology Specialist is a blind user of technology and a professional trainer of other people with visual disabilities, and she will be leading the sessions.? She is a strong proponent of the accessibility features of the iPhone for blind users.? With the iPhone, at least, touch screens instead of buttons don't seem to be a deal-breaker.
On the main topic of QR codes and accessibility, unfortunately, I can't be of much help.

|Presumably if someone has a phone with an app that can read print (i.e. hard

|QR code, so that the phone could read it. We should be doing that anyway, in
|order to provide access for people without smartphones. I don't know if
|phones are able to detect that there is a QR code nearby and direct a visually
|impaired patron towards it (?), or if phones that can read physical print items
|can also detect a QR code within that print page, and decode it and direct the
|user to a website.
|
|If anyone has any thoughts or insights on this, or any experience to share on
|what their library does, I would be very grateful for your feedback.

|Many thanks,

I'm not very techie, but I am happy to report that there will be programs at our Library this fall called "iPhone Help for People with Visual Disabilities" in partnership with the CNIB.? The CNIB's local Assistive Technology Specialist is a blind user of technology and a professional trainer of other people with visual disabilities, and she will be leading the sessions.? She is a strong proponent of the accessibility features of the iPhone for blind users.? With the iPhone, at least, touch screens instead of buttons don't seem to be a deal-breaker.
On the main topic of QR codes and accessibility, unfortunately, I can't be of much help.
Have a great weekend,
