    Has the Revolution in Scholarly Communication Lived Up to Its Promise?
    (American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2011-06) Hahn, Trudi Bellardo; Burright, Marian; Duggan, Heidi Nickisch
    In the late 1990s the need for an overhaul in the approach to scholarly publishing was recognized. A drastic change would revise the economic model on which publishing was based, give authors rights to their own works in open access repositories and enable consumers across the world to access scholarly materials, building a flow of valuable information for the common good. The revolution has yet to materialize, though small but welcome achievements have been made. The open access business model has gained a foothold with the Public Library of Science (PLoS), and scientists receiving grants through the National Institutes of Health must submit manuscripts to the PubMed Central digital archive. Several universities mandate that faculty members deposit their scholarly articles in institutional repositories, and the Compact for Open Access Publishing Equity promotes open publishing by supporting authors. Librarians are both part of the problem and part of the solution. Instead of worrying about paying rising subscription fees, they could use their position to influence authors to take advantage of open access channels despite publish-or-perish pressures. Recent legislative and presidential initiatives, geared to disseminating publicly funded research, may be effective in moving open access closer to transforming the traditional system of scholarly communication.

    Job Advertisements for Recent Graduates: Advising, Curriculum, and Job-seeking Implications
    (Association for Library and Information Science Education, 2010) Reeves, Robert K.; Hahn, Trudi Bellardo
    Despite the proliferation of job advertisement analysis studies in the past 30 years, new studies are needed all the time to reflect the current state of the job market for LIS professionals. Using traditional content analysis methods, a study in spring 2009 at the University of Maryland of over 1,000 job ads for new graduates revealed that most jobs are in academic libraries and archives; average salaries rose last year; the highest salaries are in government; personal attributes such as communication, service orientation, collaboration and cooperation, and team capabilities are highly desired; and many entry-level ads request some experience. Very few call for a second master's degree. This study will be useful for faculty advising and conducting curriculum studies, as well as new graduates in the job market.

    Mass Digitization: Implications for Preserving the Scholarly Record
    (Association for Library Collections & Technical Services, 2008-01) Hahn, Trudi Bellardo
    Libraries and archives have a critical role in preserving the scholarly record; many players in the publication cycle depend on them for this. Preservation of scholarly books that are being digitized has lagged far behind preservation initiatives for electronic journals. The issue has become more critical, as large commercial companies such as Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have begun mass digitization of millions of books in research libraries. Since December 2004, the pace of developments has been rapid, involving great risks on Google’s part over the copyright issue. Google and certain participating libraries have not addressed the issue of whether or not all this effort to digitize huge numbers of books indiscriminately will serve students’ and scholars’ needs in the long run. Quality, secrecy, and long-term stability are all issues that suggest it may be foolish to expect that commercial companies will share librarians’ values and commitment to digitized material preservation. The information profession must exert strong leadership in setting policies, standards, and best practices for long-term preservation of the scholarly record.

    On-Line Bibliographic System Instruction
    (1978) Hahn, Trudi Bellardo; Kennedy, Gail; Tremoulet, Gretchen
    A course in on-line bibliographic systems was introduced into the curriculum of the College of Library Science at the University of Kentucky. It was taught in five-week sections by three instructors who were practicing librarians and each an expert in one type of bibliographic network: OCLC, MEDLINE, or Lockheed DIALOG. Library space, equipment, and materials were utilized. The over-all goals of the course were to develop terminal skills and related proficiencies and to instill a knowledge of the administrative considerations relative to various kinds of networks. Despite problems encountered related to class size, scheduling, theft of equipment, and supplementary readings, the students evaluated the course highly and the instructors felt it was an over-all success and worth repeating.

    Serving Higher Education's Highest Goals: Assessment of the Academic Library as Place
    (ACRL Publications, 2011-09) Jackson, Heather Lea; Hahn, Trudi Bellardo
    An empirical study was conducted using methods borrowed from the psychology of religion (instead of corporate assessment techniques) to assess whether the academic library as place supports students’ desire to feel connected to higher education’s mission. The findings from an in-person survey of fifty-four students at three universities showed a preference for exterior and interior images of traditional libraries over those classed as modern, and those images evoked feelings of scholarship, engagement,spirituality, and other positive emotions, as well as subjects’ desire to use those spaces more than they currently use their existing library.

    Understanging Information Use in the Multidisciplinary Field: A Local Citation Analysis of Neuroscience Research
    (ACRL Publications, 2005-05) Burright, Marian; Hahn, Trudi Bellardo; Antonisse, Margaret J.
    Assessing the information needs of a multidisciplinary academic community presents challenges to librarians managing journal collections. This case study analyzed the literature used by the neuroscience community at the University of Maryland to determine the following about the publications they cited: their type, their discipline, and how recent they were relative to the citing publication. The authors searched the ISI Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index to identify the publishing, citing, and coauthoring patterns of both faculty and graduate students to inform library decisions about collecting journals and other types of literature.
