Extractions: The Lesson From Arizona This 1970 movie tells the story of seven highly individualistic, strong-willed, and talented individuals who manage to put aside their egos and differences to work for a common and noble good riding down into Mexico to save a village from the bandits. We may not want to imagine that the kind of cooperation we talk about here will end in a shootout, but we can learn from their tenacity. I cannot sufficiently celebrate the glorious liberty that reigns in the public libraries of the twentieth century as compared with the intolerable management of those of the nineteenth century, in which the books were jealously railed away form the people, and obtainable only at an expenditure of time and red tape calculated to discourage any ordinary taste for literature. (1888) "Universal Library: A Plea for Placing any Desired Book within the Reach of any Person Wishing to make Reasonable Use of Same."

Valparaiso University is located in northwest Indiana, about an hour from downtown Chicago. With about 4,000 students, Valparaiso (Valpo) is primarily an undergraduate institution with professional schools in business, engineering, law, and nursing. While the law school has its own library, all other disciplines were always served through one main library located near the center of campus. Moellering Library was built in 1959 and expanded in 1969 to hold 266,000 volumes in 54,000 square feet. By the 1990s, the collection had grown past 350,000 volumes, and the need to also house computers and other technologies made it clear that Valpo needed a new library.
Course Integrated Library Instruction have demonstrated that the use of a compulsory library assignment was vitalto maximizing absorption and retention of basic library knowledge (1982). http://www.libraryinstruction.com/course-integrated.html
Extractions: Information Literacy Weblog Course Integrated Library Instruction by Joan Ormondroyd After years of concentrating on graduate programs and research projects, colleges and universities across the country are beginning to respond to public concerns about the quality of undergraduate education by reinstating foreign language requirements and core programs in the liberal arts (see issues of the CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION and FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANNALS It is not surprising that librarians are also becoming more concerned with the quality and depth of the instructional programs they are offering students. Traditional programs have included workbooks and credit courses (most often general in scope and not subject related) or course-related, single-session lectures where the content of the library session is related to the subject matter of the course, but where there is generally no further contact with the course until the next semester when the same 50-minute session is presented once more. We are now beginning to see a trend, if not away from these forms of bibliographic instruction, then at least in a direction complementary to them. More and more librarians are finding ways to integrate library instruction into existing courses in a manner that makes library resources and the methodology for finding them an essential and basic component of the course.

A pro-active community advocacy campaign was waged, for several months, on behalf of the project. School students, neighborhood associations, business and civic leaders, local school and elected officials, and many others participated in writing letters, sending faxes, attending meetings, and e-mailing the Bond Act board members about the need for a new library for North Natomas. The North Natomas Library project is one of 12 California libraries selected for funding, in year three, from the $80 million in funds remaining of the original $350 million in Proposition 14 funds California voters approved in 2000. Competition in the final round was intense; 72 statewide library projects were submitted, with over $586 million total funds requested.

Extractions: Maximizing Use of Census 2000 Data in Local Government Local government has anxiously awaited the Census 2000 data, and now that it is available many users are finding the multiple, large data sets difficult to manage or query. Pierce County, Washington, solved this problem for its 400 GIS users by developing a Web-based census query application that is also accessed by the public. A demonstration of the site will highlight information on how to derive optimal data sets, organization and navigation, an intuitive user interface for viewing and downloading data, and an interactive map interface to query County census data. Enabling efficient use of census data has allowed users to quickly prepare grant applications and perform ad hoc analysis of trends. When the U.S. Census Office first published the Census 2000 data, county personnel and news organizations were scrambling to report the information and view the results in a map. County/city departments, local transportation agencies, and health organizations depend on demographic information in order to forecast, plan, and manage community services. The census data is also used as the basis for grant appropriations and Federal government programs, as well as research for locating new businesses in the county. The Census 2000 data should be able to meet these needs, but the files are large and complex, and require extensive processing to be useful. Most people do not have the time, expertise, or resources needed to extract answers from the data to even simple questions.

Extractions: Plasmon Announces Support of Double-Sided DVD-R Media in Automated Libraries Nearly doubles the storage capacity without increasing the footprint Denver, CO, August 19, 2002 Plasmon a leading manufacturer of the widest range of automated data storage libraries, today announced support for double-sided DVD-Recordable media in its D-Series DVD/CD libraries. Use of double-sided media effectively doubles the storage capacity of the library without increasing the footprint. With demand growing for low cost data archiving, Plasmon has adapted DVD-R drives for use with its patented "Rotation Station" media flipper. The Plasmon D-Series DVD libraries had previously supported double-sided DVD-RAM media. With this new feature customers can choose to utilize either type of double-sided media, or even mixed media operation with both DVD-RAM and DVD-Recordable in the same library thus optimizing the flexibility of the storage system. Applications requiring economical storage of both transient data and archive data can use a single library, maximizing return on investment. "K-PAR welcomes this new addition to the Plasmon range, "says Rachel Woods, Sales Director of K-PAR Archiving Software Limited. "The pressure on storage resources within an organization means a value has to be put on the data being stored. The flexibility that is offered by the Plasmon range of jukeboxes complimented by K-PARs Archimedia software helps companies to make the right choice depending on the type of data. Archimedia supports all Plasmon jukeboxes under the same user interface, therefore our existing integrators can immediately start offering solutions based on the double-sided DVD-R media".

Extractions: Greenwood, SC PROACTIVE PARTNERSHIPS FOR RESOURCE SHARING In 1986, the Upper Savannah AHEC Medical Library requested about 500 items annually, while loaning a couple hundred items. Requests went in the mail on the typed American Library Association interlibrary loan forms. In 1997, the library received almost 1,200 items through interlibrary loan, and it loaned more than 1,000. Almost all requests were sent and received electronically using the National Library of Medicine's interlibrary system, DOCLINE. During the AHEC fiscal year 1994/95, a record 1,959 items were borrowed and 1,486 items were loaned. In the past decade, the number of articles photocopied from the journal collection has increased, approaching the 4,000 mark in 1997. As demands for budget dollars increase, libraries are called upon to transform themselves to facilitate the delivery of information, to communicate measurements of accomplishments, and to support our partners' research needs. A proactive transformation lead to the remarkable numbers listed above. This has also been the decade when the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) has instituted its automated interlibrary loan (ILL) system, DOCLINE, and encouraged libraries and individuals to use technology developments as partners in meeting information needs.
Extractions: JUSTIFICATION The Kenyon College Libraries should develop and implement a Program for Ongoing Collection Reassessment to accomplish the following goals: To verify and ensure that the collections held by the Kenyon College Libraries are relevant to the educational mission of the College. To allow expansion for future library services and collections. To ensure proper space utilization within the library facility leading to more effective provision of services and organization of collections. To increase the benefits of our consortial agreements by maximizing the use of complementary collection development policies and storage facilities. Relevancy The Kenyon College Libraries are charged with providing research and resource materials that support the educational mission of the College. This charge manifests itself primarily in the selection of new materials to be added to the Kenyon collections. The library staff also has an obligation to reassess the relevancy of all our holdings on a regular basis. There has been no collection reassessment in the libraries since the late 1980s. A regular collection reassessment program must be initiated. We recognize that there is no standard equation for relevancy of library materials across all disciplines. Departments and programs, in conjunction with library liaisons, will need to develop discipline-specific guidelines to use when evaluating collections. These criteria should be added to departmental collection development policies.
