The design of Website navigation can be simple or complex, flat or deep. In all cases, website navigation should take into account information architecture (IA) best practices, common user tasks in the library domain, user research, analytics and information seeking models. In this four week course, you will gain insight into the art & science of IA, the discipline of labeling and organizing online information for optimal usability and findability. This course will introduce you to basic types of navigation, as well as classification schemes for organizing information. You will learn about best practices for labeling navigation, search engine optimization (SEO) and usability. Finally, you will gain hands-on experience developing a navigation scheme for a library website. This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in User Experience (UX), but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well. http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-ux.php Susan Teague Rector holds a Master?s degree in Information Science from the University of NC-Chapel Hill.

The study looks at a broad range of issues in cataloging, findability, marketing, revenue generation, technology use, rights, digitization, staffing, budgets, access, preservation, image collection building and many other issues of interest to administrators of large digital image collections. Just a few of the report?s many findings are that: ? Only 9.1% of the institutions sampled acquire images from imaging vendors; mostly this was done by college and university collections in the United States. ? 10% of the institutions sampled had annual revenues from image sales and licensing that exceeded $50,000. ? No organization in the sample chose outsourced vendor scanning as their primary means of building their collections though 14.55% chose it second and 12.73% ranked it third ? 43.64% of those sampled use in house developed authority files. Government agencies and ?other non-profits? were the most likely to use in house developed authority files while colleges and universities were the least likely. ? Google Forms was used occasionally by only 3.64% of survey participants for crowdsourcing though 14.55% of the sample felt that they might use it for this purpose in the future. ? More than 64% of organizations with fewer than 70 employees provided access to their digital image collections through Facebook. ? We asked the sample to indicate which users that they permit to retrieve image files, first asking about all users. 32.73% allow all users to retrieve image files. This was most common among colleges and universities, of which 53.85% allowed it. ? 14.55% were using replication in their preservation policies, including 29.41% of non-US organizations in the sample.

As it stands, when a student prints, the job immediately charges their account and goes to the printer. Our lab workers take those jobs and sort them on the counter according to the Student ID and place them on the desk where they are retrieved. In a small setting, or one with a low print volume, this would be ideal and would work fine. The nature of our lab makes it the highest volume lab on campus by a long shot.

Whether for personal, social, professional or academic uses, people are using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to communicate information in a map format. Whether it?s using Google Earth to study urban change, or creating Google Map Mashups to deliver library resources, more and more members of society are turning to mapping programs for their visualization needs. With so many using GIS technology in their daily lives, library staff are now more than ever assisting library clients with their mapping queries. This course will introduce students to a variety of mapping tools and GIS technologies such Google Earth and the creation of dynamic KML files; ArcGIS Online and webmap publishing; Google Fusion Tables and geocoding; and GIS fundamentals with geospatial data creation. Students will be able to apply their GIS skills in their reference work, in digitization projects, in webpages, in library instruction, and more. Through hands-on exercises, pre-recorded demonstrations and lectures, students will receive a thorough overview of mapping resources that will enhance and expose their library?s resources. Eva Dodsworth is the Geospatial Data Services Librarian at the University of Waterloo Library where she is responsible for the provision of leadership and expertise in developing, delivering, and assessing geospatial data services and programs offered to members of the University of Waterloo community. Eva is also a part-time instructor at a number of Library and Information Science schools where she teaches users GIS and how to apply GIS technology in library services. Eva is the author of Getting Started with GIS: a LITA Guide, and is currently co-authoring a book on historical cartographic resources. This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional synchronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment.

Although this seems to be a larger issue with ABS plastic, our patrons won't know the difference and we are starting to get some complaints. Staff has already requested that we don't print in any staff areas, and tonight, apparently, our local CBS TV station is running a report on this issue. What is everyone doing to address the concerns of staff and the public? We don't have any area of the library that can be sealed off and ventilated to the outside for printing purposes.

The Graphic Design Designed for Librarians workshop shares the rules and tools for making graphic design challenges not only possible but fun. It's an opportunity to network and share ideas with others who are involved in the same interests. No prior art experience is needed or required to learn simple skills and guidelines for making those graphic design tasks easier and more effective. Ignite your creative spark in a safe environment while learning basic art and design skills. Librarians will explore resources, create hands on projects, build a portfolio for future projects, and see real life examples of what others are doing. https://slis.simmons.edu/ce/node/351 ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2016-02-24 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have a Makerbot that uses PLA, which is the safer of the two filament types. We originally had the printer set up in one of our staff areas and we got complaints from a few about the possible danger of particles in the air. What we did to address those concerns is we brought in someone from our Environmental Health & Safety department and they did an air quality scan in several areas around the library, including where the printer was set up, to test the levels over time. The results they came back with showed that the air quality/fine particulates was actually worse in areas with copiers and regular paper printers than where the 3D printer was. This addressed staff concerns, but we still moved the printer to the staff area where I work. We're unconcerned, and the area is well enough ventilated. You might be able to bring in an outside contractor to do an air quality scan in your library. Also, depending on the model of 3D printer you have, some companies sell special hoods that fit over the printer to reduce fumes or particulates. Good luck with working everything out, Kelley Minars, MLIS Web Services Librarian Briscoe Library UT Health Science Center, San Antonio minars at uthscsa.edu http://www.library.uthscsa.edu/ ----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 17:51:38 +0000 From: Helene Bjorseth Subject: 3D Printing danger issues There has been a lot of publicity lately regarding the dangers of fumes from 3D printing. Although this seems to be a larger issue with ABS plastic, our patrons won't know the difference and we are starting to get some complaints. Staff has already requested that we don't print in any staff areas, and tonight, apparently, our local CBS TV station is running a report on this issue. What is everyone doing to address the concerns of staff and the public? We don't have any area of the library that can be sealed off and ventilated to the outside for printing purposes. Is this an issue at your library?

Message-ID: Hello, Our university is switching to a new CMS and is also revising its web governance model and related documents. Does anyone work at a university where they feel there is a very good university-wide web governance model in place, that is "librarian" friendly and allows for decentralized control over the website? We in the library fear losing control over our code and content and want to push for a content strategy that allows us to keep some autonomy. I'd especially appreciate seeing documents and policies that I could put forth as models.
