Hi Sheelagh, Congratulations on your new role! How is it coming along? ------------------------------ Mary Snyder Convener for ACRL - Librarianship in For-Profit Educational Institutions DG University Librarian @ Strayer University ------------------------------

Webinar recordings which include library and other departments

I'd love to see if others have a website for students that allows them to browse webinar recordings for academic events. I'm particularly interested in collections that have a mix of event recordings from library, writing centers, tutoring/student success, or even select lecture recordings from faculty. ...

Do you use Nexis Uni with academics (not law students)?

I am a member of the customer advisory board for Lexis Nexis, specifically customers of Nexis Uni. We have openings on our board. I spend 2 hours quarterly. It's 1 hour quarterly meeting and upwards of 1 hour pre-meeting to review the agenda and prepare my questions/feedback. When I think of Lexis ...

RE: Meet for Dinner at ACRL Pittsburgh

We have quite a few interested in dinner from the very small institutions group. All - How about a dinner Wednesday March 15th? We can meet after the First-time orientation. While this would be a late dinner, it would give us all a chance to make plans for the rest of the conference. Proposed ...

Annual call for conveners

Hello all! It is that time of year again that our group must decide who the convener will be for next year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024). Convener responsibilities for a discussion group are light. There are no reports or presentations to ALA. There is a form to sign and return to ALA by May 1, 2023. ...

RE: Meet for Dinner at ACRL Pittsburgh

I cross posted to the very small libraries group. We have two librarians interested in joining us there. We're up to potentially 5 for dinner. I'm happy to arrange the reservation and find a restaurant to meet our dietary needs. I hope others can join us! ------------------------------ Mary ...

Meet for Dinner at ACRL Pittsburgh

Happy Sunday! Three librarians from our institution are attending ACRL in person. I'd love to coordinate a group dinner. Please comment if you're interested! I cross posted with very small and for-profit institutions as I think we could have a blended dinner and good conversation. :) -------- ...

Hello! Our library does not loan technology like this but I do have info to share. Kajeet & Premier Wireless are two companies that provide hot spots, laptops, and tablets to libraries to lend. They also work with universities and other groups. They'll handle the project from start to finish so that ...

RE: Purchasing leveled reader titles for ELL students

I have not noticed that! Interesting We buy eBooks only and use EBSCO's ECM. I've seen mostly pop culture topics. Thanks, Mary Mary A. Snyder, MLS University Librarian Strayer University – Wilkes Library 1133 15th Street NW, Ste 200 Washington, DC 20005 Call/Text: (202) ...

EBSCO EDS in replace of catalog

Posted By Mary Snyder Apr 15, 2022 03:18 PM
Found In Egroup: Access Services Interest Group \ view thread
I'm curious if there's anyone who has uploaded their MARC records to EDS and eliminated their catalog. Obviously there would be the loss of borrower and circulation records - but I'm more concerned with search/discovery of titles. I'd just want the titles to appear in search results. Then if someone ...

Internet Librarian Connect 2021 conference

I'm attending Info Today's conference this week. Are there others attending? I'm not quite sure what to make of it so far. I'm curious if this year's conference is typical of the quality and content. ------------------------------ Mary Snyder Convener for ACRL - Librarianship in For-Profit Educational ...

RE: Faculty Borrowing

Hello! We How often do you send overdue notices and in what format (email, physical letter, text message, etc.) We send them at the same frequency and pattern as student borrowers. How do you hold faculty accountable for overdue or lost items when they leave the institution? ...

RE: Opinions on TinyCat and LibraryThing

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure of a way to add databases, let alone article-level! Our library is moving toward a 100% online-first model, so this is not a deal breaker for us. I can certainly see how this would stop others. Our current ILS is Horizon and while we can link to e-resources, we don't. ...

Opinions on TinyCat and LibraryThing

Found In Egroup: Technical Services Interest Group \ view thread
I would love to hear opinions on TinyCat and LibraryThing. I'd be interested in other low cost ILS too. Currently we use Horizon and are down to less than 100,000 item records for physical items. We've been aggressively weeding and purchasing electronic copies over the past 5 years. We're working ...
