Item Developing a New Model and Organizational Framework for Liaison Librarians(ACRL, 2020) Luckert, Yelena; White, Gary WThis chapter covers the developments arising from two major task forces at the University of Maryland Libraries, a Liaison Librarian task force and the Research Commons task force. Using Kotter’s Eight Stage Process, the authors discuss the planning and initial phases of these ideas, the work of the task forces, and communication to the library organization about the need and urgency for this work, as well as the subsequent steps taken since the final reports were submitted.Item Preserving Archival Collections while Preserving the Environment: Has High-Density Storage Made SCUA More Energy Efficient?(2019-06-11) Johnson, Charlotte M.; Caringola, Elizabeth M.In 2016, Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) began moving collections from their stacks in Hornbake Library to high-density offsite storage at Severn Library. When Severn Library is at capacity, at least half of the Libraries' space will be dedicated to storing materials from SCUA. Our poster will outline how storing collections at Severn Library has affected SCUA's carbon footprint when compared with the energy consumption of onsite storage and how this change fits into wider campus goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2020 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. We will use data provided by Sustainable UMD's energy dashboard and UMD Facilities Management to determine the energy consumption of each facility and determine whether moving collections to Severn has reduced our unit's energy consumption.Item Management of Digital Programs in Special Collections(2017-07-19) Pike, Robin C.Class lecture on digitizing special collections for CUA CLSC 747 Special Collections. Presented in 2015, 2016, and 2017 with minor modifications.Item The Historic Maryland Newspapers Project(2016-06-08) Caringola, ElizabethThis poster addresses frequently asked questions regarding the Historic Maryland Newspapers Project, such as "What is the National Digital Newspaper Program?" and "How are titles selected for digitization?" It also provides information about the project's funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), newspaper titles digitized by the project to date, and the future of the project. This poster was presented at the UMD Libraries Research & Innovative Practice Forum, McKeldin Library, June 8, 2016.Item Metrics that compare academic libraries, and how we stack up within CIC(2016-06-08) Barnachea, LutgardaThis presentation identifies the metrics used in the 2015 annual statistical surveys of ARL, ACRL, and IPEDS. Selected data compiled from fy2010 to 2015 are included to show comparisons among the CIC member libraries. The purpose of this presentation is to create awareness of metrics used by national organization to compare academic libraries.Item Sister Libraries Collaborate across Borders(International Leads, 2007) Pedersoli, Heleni; Herron, PatriciaThe article discusses an Association of College Research Libraries (ACRL) sister libraries partnership that was established in April 2006 between the University of Maryland Libraries and the Tecnológico de Monterey in Monterrey, Mexico.Item McKeldin Library Reprogramming: Participatory Design Phase(2012-01) Foster, Nancy FriedItem Participatory Design in Redesigning an Academic Library: Asking Students about Their Favorite Study Spaces(2012-10-29) Barnachea, Lutgarda; Grijalva, Stacey; Williams, M. Jane; Wray, Tanner; Ippoliti, Cinthya; Luckert, Yelena; Tchangalova, NedelinaIn 2011 a library-led project team gathered user-based information for a total redesign of McKeldin Library, the central library serving the University of Maryland, College Park. In addition, graduate classes in anthropology and architecture provided other elements of user input. All of the above were provided to an Architecture Studio course to create actual designs for a reprogrammed library. This poster focues on data from one of the three sets of library-led activities. In on-the-spot interviews in four outdoor spaces on campus, 33 undergraudate students were asked open-ended questions about where they do their academic work (projects, research papers, studying for exams) and why. This poster presents the results of those interviews.Item Participatory Design in Redesigning an Academic Library: Capturing Users’ Work through Structured Observations(2012-10-29) Tchangalova, Nedelina; Barnachea, Lutgarda; Williams, M. JaneThis poster session focuses on one of the three sets of participatory design activities undertaken in the fall 2011 by a library-led project team to build an informational basis for a total redesign of McKeldin Library, the central library serving the University of Maryland, College Park. Graduate classes in anthropology and architecture also provided part of the information basis, all of which are now with an Architecture Studio to provide actual designs for a reprogrammed library. This poster session will present the data, findings and findings’ significance for the structured observation activity, to get a picture of how McKeldin Library is being used now.Item Participatory Design in Redesigning an Academic Library: Capturing Users’ Work through an Artistic Lens(2012-10-29) Wray, Tanner; Ippoliti, Cinthya; Luckert, Yelena; Tchangalova, Nedelina; Barnachea, Lutgarda; Williams, M JaneIn 2011 a library-led project team gathered user-based information for a total redesign of McKeldin Library, the central library serving the University of Maryland, College Park. In addition, graduate classes in anthropology and architecture provided other elements of user input. All of the above were provided to an Architecture Studio course to create actual designs for a reprogrammed library. This poster focuses on data from one of the three sets of activities. In participatory design workshops library staff (21 participants), campus faculty (20), undergraduate (20) and graduate (17) students drew their ideal library workspaces. This poster presents drawings, gathered data and conclusions about stakeholders’ ideal study, research and work spaces in the library.
