Session Description:
Libraries are often the leading voice on campus challenging our systems of scholarly publishing and communication and developing new ideas and models for disseminating academic work. Librarians have started scholarly communication committees that typically include key faculty and administrators outside the library to advance the discussion at the campus-wide level. This roundtable will provide a forum to discuss how effective these efforts are and the lessons learned in developing a campus scholarly communication committee.

Session Description:
LibGuides are hot! Many librarians love the ease of creating subject guides that incorporate hip Web 2.0 features that are built into the LibGuides system. Some librarians create guides to accompany course-related instruction. How might we use the interactive and Web 2.0 features to facilitate active learning exercises during face-to-face instruction sessions? Does using a LibGuides page discourage students from learning the library website? What do your faculty think about LibGuides used during library workshops?

Session Description:
Student Response Systems have had a buzz in academic libraries. The ability to elicit and keep track of student responses to questions of both practical and theoretical natures is a real bonus in improving instructional plans and in assessment of programs. A discussion of different systems could be beneficial to all who are interested.

Session Description:
Administrators consolidate public service desks in academic libraries to promote efficiency and advance “”one-stop shopping.”" Although more common in smaller libraries and branches, consolidation has begun to occur in larger libraries and in some cases encompasses circulation and reference. Participants in the roundtable will discuss their experiences with consolidation and analyze this trend: does consolidation have potential to improve service in academic libraries or is it a faddish mismatch?
