Session Description: This presentation will discuss findings that demonstrate the differences between librarian-selected and approval plan monograph use at KU. Analyzing, Psychology, Sociology, Religious Studies, and Business monographs acquired since 2004, panelists will compare and contrast use patterns based on circulation data and use by different constituencies in each of the four disciplines. This analysis reveals that monograph use, regardless of acquisition method, exceeds the expectations of the 80/20 rule. And that monographs are, in some cases, being used more extensively than originally believed. The presentation will also discuss the collaborative effort behind data gathering, the methodological approaches, and firm ordering allocations.

Session Description:Instead of fretting over reaching the top, librarians should cultivate their bottoms. No one mind contains the knowledge necessary to run a complex organization; the knowledge is distributed throughout the organization. While we should cultivate librarians to take over directorships, our tops, we should be spending even more effort cultivating those librarians at the bottom, empowering them to act, and creating ways to take advantage of their distributed knowledge to enact positive change.

Session Description: For undergraduate students, research is done online. Is using their library for research a part of their Web use? What can be done to make using library resources and services part of their web research? How can libraries connect with students through web design and applications that meet affective and cognitive needs? This webcast examines strategies for developing virtual spaces, services and collections to accommodate the research interests and habits of today’s undergraduate students. The presentation will include an analysis of interviews with undergraduate students regarding how they find and use information.

Session Description: There has been a lot of buzz about Web 2.0 over the past few years and many libraries have devoted significant staff time towards implementing 2.0 technologies. One look at the number of abandoned library blogs, wikis and MySpace profiles tells us that successful implementation of Web 2.0 technologies requires more than simply installing software. Most libraries are not currently structured to successfully embrace Web 2.0, which requires rapid user-centered change, experimentation and radical trust. Farkas will discuss what organizations need to do to position themselves to take advantage of the 2.0 technologies out there in ways that will ensure successful implementation. Practical tips will be offered, illustrated with examples from libraries that are already on the road to 2.0 through their innovative practices and services.
