While academic programs focus on conceptual understanding of foundations,
we focus on the kinds of skills that library schools generally expect
librarians to learn on-the-job, but which usually turn out to require
additional study. These workshops earn Continuing Education Units, and are
intended as professional development activities. Workshops are taught
asynchronously, so you can participate as your own schedule allows.

*About the Webinar*
Big Data is the catch-phrase of the day, and for good reason. It appears
that everything is being digitized and as such, huge data sets are now
suddenly available to researchers and data scientists. But how do they use
all of this data? The idea of having anything we need just a few clicks
away is exciting, but when the data is not created in a way that is easily
searchable and extractable, access is limited. Additionally, there are
issues about ownership, management, preservation, and the rights the
library offering it may or may not have regarding access. This webinar will
discuss these issues and try to find the happy medium between policy and
practicality.
*Agenda*
Introduction

Primary Research Group Inc. has published: Information Literacy Efforts Benchmarks, 2016 Edition, ISBN 978-157440-362-6
The 195 page exhaustive study presents data from 53 North American colleges and universities about their information literacy efforts. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: which academic departments are most supportive of information literacy efforts? How much support is college administration giving to information literacy efforts? What new technologies are being used in information literacy and with what impact? How do information literacy instructors evaluate the skill level of their students in various information literacy areas? How confident are they in their knowledge of plagiarism, their use of Boolean search terms, their use of eBook collections or their mastery of citation software? What kind of information literacy tests are being given to college freshmen and in what areas? What new and emerging library technologies are being included in information literacy training? And much more.
This edition especially focuses on the issue of evaluation of students and evaluation of information literacy efforts.
Just a few of the study?s many findings are that:
? More than 77% of those libraries participating do not include coverage of use class management systems in its standard information literacy training.
? Only 7.55% of those libraries responding required an information or computer literacy test for graduation.
? 23.53% of private college libraries administered to college faculty a library education services evaluation form to assess faculty satisfaction with library assistance to faculty.
? 30.77% of colleges with an enrollment of greater than 13,000 offered classes in the Zotero citation program.
? Survey participants estimated that the number of students served through information literacy classes and presentations increased by a mean of 7% from the fall semester of the 2014-15 academic year to the fall semester of the 2015-16 academic year.

Hello wonderful Web4Lib,
We are preparing budget proposals for changes in management of our public access computers and are looking at both virtualization (we are a Microsoft shop) and multi-seat computing (Userful). Our County IT department wants us to get information from comparable library systems.
Specifically, do you know of any library systems who have implemented virtualization as a solution for public access computers?
Do you know any library systems who have implemented Userful or some other multi-seat option?
We are specifically hoping to find systems who might have implemented something along these lines more than a year ago, so that we could get comparative costs for first-year implementation versus continuing costs.
Any help is most appreciated!

Submission Form:http://lacuny.org/institute-call-for-proposals/
Critical Race Theory holds "that race is central, not peripheral, to
American thought and life" and "that racism is common and ordinary
rather than rare and episodic" (The Oxford Companion to American Law).
From hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #CharlestonSyllabus, #BlackOnCampus)
to podcasts (About Race, Intersection with Jamil Smith, Real Talk with
Nekima Levy-Pounds), from city streets to college campuses, these are
some of the spaces and places where dialogues about race and racism are
happening. This is where the theme for the 2016 LACUNY Institute begins,
where it seeks to join the national conversation on race.
In addressing this theme, we are interested in amplifying and extending
recent important conversations and scholarship in the library profession
which have interrogated the role of libraries in systemic racism, the
collusion of library neutrality in oppression, and white privilege and
fragility in the profession, among other issues. Libraries attract
professionals with "good" and "noble" intentions, but as Ta-Nehisi
Coates writes in Between the World and Me, "'Good intention' is a hall
pass through history."
How can we move the dialogue beyond good intention, where it has been
mired in well-meaning diversity and multiculturalism initiatives? How do
we move the profession from racial liberalism, as articulated by Lani
Guinier, to racial literacy, which "requires us to rethink race as an
instrument of social, geographic, and economic control of both whites
and blacks"? How can and do libraries contribute to the national
conversation on race, racism, and anti-racism? What are the foundations
that librarianship can use to address racism both within the profession
and society at large?
The LACUNY Institute Committee seeks proposals that address race in
libraries, archives, and the information studies, across myriad roles
(staff, faculty, students, patrons, etc.) and functions (technical
services, public services, instruction, etc.).
Example topics include but are not limited to:
*
Counter-narratives
*
Race and critical information literacy and pedagogy
*
Race and racism in information organization
*
Intersectionality
*
Microaggressions
*
Libraries, race, and access
*
What is and is not collected
The Institute will have three tracks: panel presentations, facilitated
dialogues, and alt-sessions.
*
Panel papers (15 minutes/presenter):Moderated panel presentations
with time for questions and discussion.
*
Facilitated dialogues (45 minutes):Teams of two lead a discussion on
topic of their choice related to the theme, with one person
presenting context and the other facilitating conversation.
*
Alt-sessions(15-30 minutes): An opportunity for exploring topics
through multiple ways of knowing (e.g., short documentary, spoken
word, performance art).
Please submit proposals, including a 300-500 word abstract,
throughhttp://lacuny.org/institute-call-for-proposals/by January 25, 2016.
The goal of this event is to create a space for respectful dialogue and
debate about these critical issues. We will be publishing a formal code
of conduct, but the event organizers will actively strive to create a
public space in which multiple perspectives can be heard and no one
voice dominates.

*About the Webinar*
We began offering digital information several decades ago. Today, some of
that information has been lost because of the way it was saved. One of the
major issues with digital information is creating and preserving it in ways
that ensure its availability for generations to come. Unfortunately, this
has not always been the case, and there are vast amounts of data that have
been preserved but in ways that are no longer readable. This webinar will
discuss old technology and the data that is imprisoned on it, and how to
set this data free, e.g., how to convert it into formats that render it
useful not just to us, but to future researchers.

Primary Research Group Inc. has published the Survey of Library & Museum Digitization Projects, 2016 Edition, ISBN 978-1-57440-365-7
The study looks at how 61 academic, public and special libraries, museums and historical societies organize their collection digitization efforts. The study gives highly detailed data on spending, budgets, uses of staff time, digitization volumes and back logs and much more. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much digitization is done in-house? How much is outsourced? If outsourced, which companies are favored suppliers? How much are organizations spending on digitization? How much of their staff time is spent on issues of cataloging and metadata? How much is spent on collection marketing? What kind of equipment is being used and what are future plans for equipment? Also covered: crowdsourcing, use of blogs and social media, online showcases and exhibits and much more.
Just a few of the study?s major findings are that:
? More than 60% of those responding had little to no experience with the preservation or enhancement of existing digital formats.
? Special libraries had the largest budget of the four groups represented with a mean of $500,855.
? The average number of people spending part of their day on digitization projects was 3.94.
? Special libraries and college/university libraries were more likely than museums or public libraries to outsource (64.29% and 62.5% vs. 28% and 50%).
? On average, 36.2% of digitization work was outsourced to third parties.
? Most of those surveyed felt that staff labor spent on digitization would stay about the same (50.82%) but more than 40% felt that staff labor spent on digitization would increase or increase significantly. Few expected decreases.

Privacy of User Data in Library, Content-Provider,

Message-ID: <MON.14.DEC.2015.141846.0500.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>

*NISO Releases a Set of Principles to Address Privacy of User Data in
Library, Content-Provider, and Software-Supplier Systems*
Baltimore, MD ? December 14, 2015 - The National Information Standards
Organization (NISO) has published a set of consensus principles for the
library, content-provider and software-provider communities
<http://bit.ly/niso_patron_privacy> to address privacy issues related to
the use of library and library-related systems. This set of principles
developed over the past 8 months focus on balancing the expectations
library users have regarding their intellectual freedoms and their privacy
with the operational needs of systems providers.
The NISO Privacy Principles, available at
http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/patron_privacy/, set forth a core set of
guidelines by which libraries, systems providers and publishers can foster
respect for patron privacy throughout their operations. The Principles
outline at a high level basic concepts and areas which need to be addressed
to support a greater understanding for and respect of privacy-related
concerns in systems development, deployment, and user interactions. The
twelve principles covered in the document address the following topics:
Shared Privacy Responsibilities; Transparency and Facilitating Privacy
Awareness; Security; Data Collection and Use; Anonymization; Options and
Informed Consent; Sharing Data with Others; Notification of Privacy
Policies and Practices; Supporting Anonymous Use; Access to One?s Own User
Data; Continuous Improvement and Accountability.
The Preamble of the Principles notes that, "Certain personal data are often
required in order for digital systems to deliver information, particularly
subscribed content. Additionally, user activity data can provide useful
insights on how to improve collections and services. However, the
gathering, storage, and use of these data must respect the trust users
place in libraries and their partners. There are ways to address these
operational needs while also respecting the user?s rights and expectations
of privacy."
"Working collaboratively through a set of open meetings and discussion
forums, a team of librarians, publishers and systems providers crafted
these principles,? said Todd Carpenter, NISO's Executive Director. ?This
fact distinguishes this effort from other privacy-related efforts in our
community. By working together to deeply grasp the foundational nature of
respect for patron privacy among suppliers as well as to understand the
operational needs and product development process among the library
community, the team was able to come to a nuanced understanding of the
related issues. This joint effort allowed for the creation of a balanced
set of principles, which achieve the common goal of providing the best
possible user experience built from its core with respect for privacy.?
Organizations and individuals are encouraged to provide public comments on
the NISO Privacy Principles, as well as register their support for the
principles, on the NISO website. Additional work in the coming year is
envisioned to make these high-level principles operational for publishers,
content-providers and software suppliers.
This project was generously supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation. More information about the project, including presentations,
recordings of the virtual and in-person meetings, and other background
information may be found at www.niso.org/topics/tl/privacy.

Subject: Introduction to Drupal for Libraries (online class)
Message-ID: <TUE.15.DEC.2015.094037.0800.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Introduction to Drupal for Libraries
Instructor: Caleb Tucker-Raymond
Dates: January 4-29, 2016
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/023-drupal-1.php
There is a robust and growing community of libraries using Drupal, the open
source content management platform, to create and manage library websites
and services. In this 4-week course you will build a Drupal site from the
ground up, gaining hands-on experience with Drupal core tools and concepts.
We will pay special attention to Drupal features as they relate to the
specific organizational needs of libraries and library web services.
This is an introductory level course, and though familiarity with HTML is
helpful, it is not required. There is no coding in this course. Each
student will get a free development account with a cloud-based Drupal
service and will have continued access to their course website after the
course finishes.
Learning outcomes:
- Ability to build a website in Drupal 8.
- Hands-on experience using Drupal core features: fields, nodes, modules,
blocks, menus, users, themes and views.
- Knowledge of Drupal in the context of designing and managing library
websites.
Caleb Tucker-Raymond is a freelance web developer in Portland, Oregon
specializing in connecting library systems to the Drupal content management
system. Before that he worked as a public and academic librarian for 14
years in systems, reference, and the intersection of the two. He earned his
MSLIS with Simmons College.
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that
participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The
class does not meet together at any particular times, although the
instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation
is in an online forum environment.
You can register in this course through the first week of instruction. The

We have been using PrinterOn, which we implemented in the summer. We find
it to be occasionally buggy, but generally satisfactory. Usage has been
pretty light, but we're happy to be able to offer the service.
Good luck!

We use Printeron in conjunction with Envisionware?s LptOne. It is occasionally buggy, but works great. Patrons seem to really like it.
You can implement PrinterOn by itself, but we were already using LptOne. The integration between the two is almost seamless.

Ditto here . PrinterOn with EnvisionWare's LPT:One. I also echo what Lynn
said... it is occasionally buggy.
The only thing I dislike on the EnvisionWare side is the fact that the Mac
LPT:One client cannot coexist with the mobile print service. If you have a
mixed environment of Windows and Mac public access computers and want to
offer the mobile print service, bear in mind that you'd have to forego
installing LPT:One on the Macs. In that case, EnvisionWare recommends that
Mac printing be handled through the mobile print service.
Here we made it easier on patrons who want to print from our iMacs by
employing a script that will automatically email to the mobile print
service any file dropped into a specific folder (see
http://murphymac.com/slib/files-mailed-magically-when-dropped-in-a-finder-folder.htm
).

*Duties & Responsibilities*
A joint project between the SBGrid Consortium at Harvard Medical School and
the Dataverse Team at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at
Harvard University has an immediate opening for a lead developer to help us
build a next generation data publication system for large biomedical
datasets. We aim to make biomedical datasets publicly available through a
federated data grid to facilitate access, citation, and data analysis by
scientists. Our pilot collection includes datasets generated using X-ray
crystallography, computer modeling, lattice light sheet microscopy, and
microED diffraction. This collection is currently replicated to computing
centers in the US, Europe, Asia, and South America. The project is
supported by the Helmsley Charitable Trust and was recently selected as a
pilot of the U.S. National Data Service. To learn more about the
environment, please visit our current implementation at data.sbgrid.org and
our group websites at sbgrid.org, slizlab.org, and
http://datascience.iq.harvard.edu/team.
The lead developer will be responsible for successfully migrating our
in-house research data management system, written in Python, to Dataverse (
http://dataverse.org) after first extending Dataverse (with the full
support of the Dataverse development team) to include the features
necessary for the migration. The candidate will develop a final set of
requirements based on the feedback and experience of the end-user community
using our current pilot system. Examples of features that must be added to
Dataverse include better support for large (~100 GB) datasets, automatic
data validation pipelines, and other functionalities relevant to specific
biomedical data types. The lead developer will also help to evaluate data
transfer and upload and management technologies, such as Globus, that can
integrate with Dataverse to support larger datasets and provide direct
computing on the data. The developer will work with our team to ensure that
all new functionality developed under this project is merged into the
Dataverse open source project and shared with the community.
As a senior member of our team, this individual will also support training
junior members, collaborate with collection specialists, and present

Message-ID: <MON.21.DEC.2015.171149.0500.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):
The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.
We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 32nd issue.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.
To be included in the 32nd issue, which is scheduled for publication
in mid April 2016, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal at code4lib.org
by Friday, January 15, 2016. When submitting, please include the title
or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.
C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including
how they were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies
C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit
C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 31 issues
published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.
Remember, for consideration for the 32nd issue, please send proposals,
abstracts, or draft articles to journal at code4lib.org no later than
Friday, January 15, 2016.
Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.

providing information on the presence or absence of evidence with which to
make informed decisions. Evidence Summaries Team members are required to
write two evidence summaries per year, with a two year commitment to the
journal. Evidence Summaries cover all areas of library and information
studies and we encourage applications from information professionals in
areas such as school, public, and special libraries, as well as academic
settings.
Interested persons should send a statement of interest, indicating areas of
strength they would bring to the role, as well as a brief resum? to Heather
Pretty (Associate Editor, Evidence Summaries) at hjpretty at mun.ca by January
15, 2016. Applicants who are shortlisted* will be asked to submit a sample
evidence summary.
Please note that *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* is a
non-profit, open access journal and all positions are voluntary and unpaid.
The positions are an excellent opportunity for continuing professional
development and gaining experience in reviewing or critically appraising
library-related research.
*Only those applicants who are selected or shortlisted will be contacted by
the Editors.
About the journal:
Published quarterly by the University of Alberta, this peer reviewed, open
access journal is targeted at all library and information professionals
interested in an evidence based
model of practice. By facilitating access to library and information
studies research via original research articles and evidence summaries of
relevant research from the library literature, *Evidence Based Library and
Information Practice* enables information professionals to practice their
profession in an evidence-based manner.
Please visit the *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* website (
http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP) for further
information about the journal.
Thank you,
Lorie Kloda
