16th AnnualConference Program

Welcome to LOUIS Users Conference (LUC) 2015! We are happy to return once again to the C.B.

Pennington Jr. Conference Center. We have an exciting conference planned this year.

This has been a year of great change for the consortium, with more still to come. We seized the

opportunity to migrate our SirsiDynix Symphony system from a locally-hosted environment to SirsiDynix’s

SaaS environment. We are also moving forward with SirsiDynix’s BLUEcloud suite. We said goodbye to

an old friend, A-to-Z Admin, and migrated to EBSCO’s new interface, Full Text Finder with Holdings Link

Management. Many of us have had to rethink our collection development policies, moving from traditional

print to predominantly electronic collections with new emphasis on e-Books and e-Textbooks, as well as

reinvent library spaces. As with most journeys, we have experienced a few bumps and bruises, with the

possibility of more to come along the way. However, we will continue to weather any storm as we always

do—together.

In light of our recent experiences, this year’s conference is focused on embracing change and taking

advantage of opportunities that come our way.

Remember to take advantage of the number of rest areas, patios, and meeting rooms available in the

facility for networking and collaborative opportunities. There is also a selfie booth if you would like to take a

break for a bit of light-hearted fun with friends and colleagues. Please share your memories with us!

We would like to thank everyone who submitted presentations and posters for this event. We would like to

thank our sponsors for their generosity: EBSCO Information Services, SirsiDynix, IEEE, LearningExpress,

Annual Reviews, CAS, Credo Reference, Gale Cengage, OCLC, Thomson Reuters, and Marcive. Most of

all, we would like to thank all of you for attending and bringing your expertise to LUC 2015. You, our

partners, have the vision, knowledge, experience, and motivation to carry us into the future. We look

forward to experiencing LUC 2015 with each of you!

The LOUIS Team

Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate

change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable. —William Pollard

Welcome

Main Auditorium A

From the Dewey Decimal System To Distributed

Classrooms: The Voyage of a Librarian’s Son

Main Auditorium A

My mother’s time as a music and art librarian at the

New York Public Library, helped set me on the path

of my 35+ year career in both the academic and

military worlds. While a personal journey, I will focus

on the teaching/learning/research trinity which has

changed dramatically during that time, in large part

due to the technology represented by the LOUIS

consortia. While not a discussion of "disruptive

innovation" per se, my theme is the need to embrace

change.

Dr. Joseph C. Rallo, Commissioner of Higher

Education

Adding Document Delivery Services to an

Interlibrary Loan Department

Room 326

The ILL Department in Southeastern Louisiana

University's library first began dabbling in article

delivery in the fall of 2012. Initially the service was

offered on a limited basis as it was reserved for

students enrolled in distance-education programs

(primarily through the Nursing Department).

However over the last 3 years the service has grown

and expanded, and now Document Delivery is

available to all of our library's users. This

presentation will discuss how the Document Delivery

service was implemented into ILL, and how the

department's policies and workflows have changed

as a result. Additionally it will illustrate how ILLiad's

Document Delivery module is utilized to process

these article requests. Questions and discussion will

be encouraged throughout the session.

Amy Baptist

Topics: Inter-library Loan

Alt-Advocacy in Special Collections: Collection,

Preservation and Long-Term Access to

Louisiana alternative publications in the Digital

Age

Room 327

Alternative press publications in print present

interesting challenges and opportunities for libraries

to advocate for alternative cultural history sources in

Louisiana. Holdings of free weeklies and irregular

art, music, and political magazines have significant

research value for researchers, but at the present

time libraries may not have policies that can

accommodate changing issues relating to collection

development, long-term access, and digital

preservation. With the vigorous community of

printmakers, illustrators, artists, zinemakers, and

activists who are producing what could be

considered ephemeral materials that speak of 21st

century alternative culture, there is, most often, no

direct digital equivalent. This panel explores the

ways that libraries can approach this latter group of

sources as a collecting area for special collections

and establish outreach relationships that could pave

the way to digital preservation. Panelists and

attendees will also discuss potential methods for

fostering collaboration and awareness in alternative

publishing culture about the long-term value of these

materials as reflections of Louisiana culture.

Planning a Library-Wide Open House: Data-

Driven Decision Making in Action

Room 324

In February and October of 2014, LSU Libraries

hosted two open house events to highlight services

and resources available to LSU undergraduates.

Data collected from the pilot event in February was

used to determine the feasibility of an annual open

house. Likewise, the data collected from the

subsequent October open house was useful in

facilitating change for future events. Join librarian

Rebecca Kelley, chair of the LSU Libraries Open

House Planning Team, as she discusses how data-

driven decision making can be used in

The Remedial Challenges Faced by College

Students

Main Auditorium B

Colleges continue to encounter the challenges of

educating and offering tools students need in order

to be successful. One challenge is the dropout rate

faced by both 2-year and 4-year academic

institutions. To succeed in today's fast-paced,

information-driven economy, students need strong

basic skills to communicate effectively, solve

problems, and work efficiently. Colleges are also

challenged to provide students with effective

remedial resources to improve retention, enable

academic success prior to graduation, and assist

them in moving into careers. Students frequently

need valuable added skills practice to master the

subject matter, stay engaged, and graduate. By

helping students get and stay on the right track

academically, colleges can better support students'

career goals and get them workforce ready.

Planned is a discussion of how LearningExpress can

assist in identifying the issues facing a rising

percentage of students and work with academic

institutions to address them.

Weeding Round-Up

Room 326

Word has spread around the state about ULM's

conversion to a primary digital library model. In

pursuit of that project, the Library is undertaking an

aggressive weed: the collection is being reduced by

half. This presentation will describe the deselection

project, its intentions, faculty involvement,

adjustments made for faculty involvement,

associated challenges with the project, lessons

learned from those challenges, and how we plan to

move forward in the next year - the second year of a

two-year project. It will make recommendations,

identify best practices for similar deselection and/or

digital projects in the future.

Embracing the Framework: Exploring

Approaches for Implementation

Room 327

This sharing session/roundtable will discuss the

different ways that librarians have begun or are

already integrating the Framework in their

instructional landscape. Regardless of one's

instructional role, e.g., credit, embedded, one-shot,

this roundtable will serve as an open laboratory for

discussing or sharing Framework implementation

approaches. The takeaway of this roundtable would

be to generate ideas, strategies, and enthusiasm for

what could work in your academic setting. The

presenters will provide up to three discussion

questions and related handouts.

Penny Hecker and Angela Balius

Topics: Information Literacy

Making Meaning from User Analyics

Main Auditorium A

New integration with web analytics platforms such as

Google Analytics and Piwik allow EBSCO Discovery

Service libraries to see how users interact with the

interface. In addition to basic traffic information that

describes how many interactions users have in EDS,

libraries can now see how often limiters and facets

are used, which customizations make an impact, and

what types of materials students and researchers

are using. These data elements can be used to

power visualizations and graphical dashboards to

bring the activity that happens in EDS to life!

With these new data, what kind of meaning can we

make that helps us tell the story of our libraries?

Come see the new data available at your finger tips

and help brainstorm ways to turn it into actionable

reports.

Room 326

This presentation will address major challenges and

opportunities facing technical services departments

in academic libraries, assessing our current

environment and looking forward 5 to 10 years. The

presentation will be limited to 5 hot topics in

LSU's E-Textbooks Project: Strategy,

Implementation, and Moving Forward

Main Auditorium A

LSU Libraries recently launched an e-textbook

initiative to provide students free access to required

textbooks. The Libraries identifies required textbooks

that are available in the e-book collection. In the

2014-2015 academic year, the initiative has had the

potential to save students $462,342.30, helping to

offset the escalating cost of higher education while

ensuring access to materials critical for student

success. This presentation will discuss how to get an

e-textbook initiatives up and running. We will discuss

the types of e-books to buy so they can be used by

an unlimited number of students simultaneously,

how to access and search the bookstore's required

textbook lists, and strategies for promoting the

initiative. We will also discuss ways to expand the

impact of the program, including a faculty-focused e-

textbook search.

Aesthetically Pleasing and Useful: Xavier

University of Louisiana Library Renovations

Continue

It was at the LOUIS Users Conference (LUC) in

2013 that three Xavier University librarians first

presented their ideas for renovating their library. At

that time, the Xavier Library had not undergone any

renovations for aesthetic or functional reasons with

the exception of repairing carpet and furniture

damage experienced during Hurricane Katrina in

2005. This poster illustrates how discarding items

formally collected in print and currently collected

electronically, gave new life to the research spaces

at the Xavier University of Louisiana Library.

Repurposing Space in Libraries

Board of Regents Application and Project

Workflow

Each year the Louisiana Board of Regents awards

around $2 million worth of grants to campuses

around the state. This poster session will walk

through the process that the UNO Library went

through to obtain an equipment grant in support of

Computer Science and the Film Arts program with

the goal of developing and interdisciplinary course

for video game development. The poster session will

highlight some of the issues that developed in writing

the grant, look at state purchasing requirements, and

ultimately development of library space into an

Innovation Lab.

Non-profits, Tax Exempt Status, and You

Are you thinking of starting a non-profit? Are you

sure your organization's status is valid? How do you

file? What code section is right for you? Taxes are

boring but important to think about! There are

different types of non-profit organizations and

different code sections for each, but tax exempt

status isn't automatic. This poster will detail ACRL-

LA's decision to change its tax exempt status section

under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c), the

process to apply for exemption, Louisiana State and

Federal forms to file, and other considerations

involved with non-profits and tax exemption.

Data Wrangling with OpenRefine

Main Auditorium B

Is your data running loose in your library?

OpenRefine is a tool that can help libraries more

easily view, analyze, clean, and match large data

sets. It is particularly useful for digital projects,

statistics, or user data. This presentation will

describe how OpenRefine is different from

spreadsheets, datasheets, and programming. It will

also include demonstrations of some of the most

useful functions in OpenRefine, compatible tools,

and solutions it provides to would-be data wranglers.

Examples will include real-life problems that LSU

Libraries has encountered in its cataloging and

digital projects.

Real World Ready: Experiential Learning and

Academic Libraries

Room 324

In 2015, Southeastern Louisiana University adopted

a new QEP entitled "Real-World Ready," which

focuses on experiential learning. Our university thus

joins other academic institutions revising their

curricula to increase practical, authentic experiences

for students. This trend reflects the increasing

number of professions that expect graduates to

exhibit a holistic knowledge that blends theory with

practice. After attending a series of workshops and

researching experiential education in academic

libraries, we feel that academic librarians are in one

of the best positions to support such learning

initiatives and projects. In this session, we will share

what we have learned through these experiences

and our own teaching of an information literacy

course. If you want to learn about experiential

learning in general or its specific appearances in

academic libraries, then this session is for you! Note

that session attendees will participate in an activity,

but no outside materials will be required.

E-Books @ LSU: Moving away from the DDA

model

Room 327

In early fall of 2014, LSU Libraries discontinued

demand driven acquisition (DDA) plans and removed

the majority of e-books with Digital Rights

Management (DRM) from the collection. In their

place, the Libraries focused on investing in large e-

book collections that met 3 essential criteria: DRM-

free titles that allowed for an unlimited number of

users and provided perpetual access. DDA has been

described as an acquisitions strategy to move from a

"just-in-case" to "just-in-time" collection model,

allowing the library to be more responsive to user

needs than traditional acquisition models. Yet,

collection analysis and ROI statistics demonstrate

how the large e-book package model has met user

demands while allowing us to collect for the present

and future. This model removes the roadblocks to

usability, allowing users to easily access and

download e-books. Finally, the model has allowed

the Libraries to pursue an innovative project that

aligns the Libraries' e-book collection with required

course textbooks to provide students with free

access to required materials.

Literati Platform Training and Usage Workshop

Room 322

This hour long demonstration will offer an overview

of the e-reference content, Topic Pages, tools and

search functionalities within Literati -- which is

available to all LOUIS institutions. After examining

the ways in which your library users can conduct

research on the Literati platform, we'll share our

ideas and best practices to increase Literati usage

overall within your community. We've made

enhancements and updates to the platform in the

last year (including responsive design for mobile

LOUIS Training Focus Group

Main Auditorium B

LOUIS has always had a commitment to provide

quality training to its membership. However, LOUIS

has recently renewed its commitment to provide

training based on feedback provided through various

surveys and reports. One outcome is the

development of the LOUIS Training Hub, a one-stop-

shop for all training resources. This focus group will

allow LOUIS to debut the training portal to a smaller

audience and discuss what it currently has and what

the membership would like to see. We will also

discuss other training opportunities available to the

membership.

presentation format at many kinds of conferences,

and competition for poster session slots is often

strong. This session describes how to create

aesthetically-pleasing posters and how develop

winning proposals. Examples of good and not-so-

good posters will be included, along with tips on

design, printing, transportation, and display. And of

course, the presenters will advise on how to talk

about your poster's topic with conference attendees.

Downloads, Dollars, and Data - Journal

Collections as Databases

Room 322

Evaluating any "Big Deal" content offer from a

publisher can be daunting to the point that many

libraries choose to not consider them at all. Often the

assumption is that it is "too expensive" and the

philosophy is "we only want 50 titles, why buy 700 of

them?" This is a presentation of usage, turn away,

ILL, and cost-per-download statistics to tell the

various good, bad and ugly stories of large journal

package purchases. We will examine title-by-title

and Big Deal scenarios from the smallest to the

largest libraries. We will present a candid view of

pricing structures and some of the calculations

publishers use to discount.

The Google Driver's Manual

Room 324

Google Drive can be a great resource for anyone.

From the school librarian helping a student write his

first bibliography to the academic librarian helping a

grad student work on her thesis to the public librarian

helping a patron write the great American novel,

Google Drive is a great option for librarians to share

with their patrons. Learn all the tricks Google Drive

can do for you and your patrons (and maybe even

your library).

The Weeding Planner

Room 326

Weeding is an integral part of the collection

development cycle and should be done on a

continuous basis, but when LSU Libraries was

tasked with weeding and shifting a large portion of its

collection within a short time period to accommodate

remodeling, a more radical approach was necessary.

Project planning and communication were vital for

efficient workflows and productive work

relationships. Discussing concerns before the

beginning of the project created a plan that took into

account the knowledge and concerns of all

stakeholders, including managers, librarians, and

those working in technical services and stacks

maintenance. Understanding the role and challenges

of each stakeholder allowed us to plan for most

potential problems before they happened. Join us to

find out what we learned about collaboration and

large-scale weeding projects.

The Fault of Our STAR Committee

Room 324

For the last two years, Jennifer Jackson has been

Chair of the STAR (Successful Transitions to

Academic Research) Committee for ACRL-LA. Due

to an array of responsibilities and tasks as the

Learning Commons and Instruction Librarian for Earl

K. Long Library, the ability to increase membership

has been challenging. Desperately wanting to give

the committee the attention it so deserves, she

hopes that this encounter will encourage any and all

librarians who work to promote information literacy at

all levels (K-12 and secondary education) to

participate in the growth and development of the

committee. Presented will be the history and the

mission of the STAR Committee, as well as a five

year outlook plan and discussion for the committee.

Anyone interested in participating and becoming a

new member is encouraged to attend.

From Liaison to Departmental Librarian:

Increasing Outreach to University Faculty and

Students

Room 322

In 2013, Dupre Library's Departmental Librarian

program transitioned from a liaison program to a

more embedded librarian model. In the process the

program has undergone several changes in an effort

to expand services to different departments and

student groups in the UL-Lafayette community. Join

librarians Andrea Flockton and Jeremiah Paschke-

Wood as they detail the evolution of the program,

problems they've faced along the way and goals

moving forward.

Navigating Reclassifying from Dewey to LC:

Reclass Rehash

Main Auditorium A

In November 2011, Ellender Memorial Library at

Nicholls State University began reclassifying its

stack collection from Dewey Decimal to Library of

Congress. This presentation examines the

intervening years' progress from technological,

cataloging, and circulation perspectives, with an

emphasis on how those viewpoints changed with

personnel and resources. As capacity increased in

Technical Services, how did Access Services

respond? What preliminary legwork had to be

completed? What logistics demanded discussion to

preserve patron satisfaction while undergoing this

massive project? How was the reclassification

originally envisioned? What were unexpected

issues? How did the different units respond? This

presentation will address these questions and

generate dialogue about how other universities have

undertaken this project. Through dissecting our own

process, we can receive input as to pitfalls and

guidance as we go forward.
