Information Commoner March 2011 Volume 5, Issue 7 Keeping Library Staff on Common Ground In This Issue What’s Our Policy 2 Department News 2 Ask the Tech Guy 4 Brag Box 7 Mike’s Message Announcements As the librarians are finishing spending out their collections dollars, one might ask where the money goes. We begin the year with $100,000 assigned to books, $70,000 to standing orders, $30,000 to media, $30,000 to reference, $4,000 to browsing, and $4,000 to Wasatch. Print journals this year came to $125,000 and about $320,000 pays for database subscriptions. Doing the math, that’s $683,000. In addition, we spent $48,000 in one time money given by the University for a total of $731,000. That comes to 42% for books, and 58% for serials. Without the one-time money, that split would be about 35% books and 65% serials. That’s a pretty acceptable balance between the two, and a figure that we watch as we continue to try adding databases in the future. One interesting initiative this year was our movement from print to electronic reference sources, managed ably by our reference coordinator, Trevor Young. We had already subscribed to the Oxford reference package, as well as purchasing individual electronic titles. This year we are adding The Oxford English Dictionary, The American National Biography, The Dictionary of National Biography, and the CQ reference package of political science reference titles. We are moving from print to electronic, and from a title-by-title purchase of reference materials to a subscription-based reference package. All of our online reference titles can be found here: www.uvu.edu/ library/researchtools/electronic_encyclopedias.html. First Book Program Beginning April 1, the Library will support the First Book Program by encouraging students to pay off their fines in the form of donated books. Students may purchase childrens’ books in the UVU Bookstore and bring their stamped receipts to the Circulation Desk to apply toward fines. For more information about the First Book Program, visit: www.firstbook.org. 2 INFORMATION COMMONER Help Spread the Word about Proxy Borrowing By Lesli Baker Most faculty don't know about our great proxy borrower service. In case you aren't familiar with this service, here is how it works: • Primary borrower: Registered student, faculty, adjunct faculty, or staff • Proxy borrower: Spouse, teacher's assistant, parent/guardian, other Proxy borrowing is available in special circumstances when a registered borrower is not able to check out material personally and needs to send someone in his or her place. Examples of valid proxy borrowing are when a faculty member assigns an assistant to retrieve Library materials for him/her, or when an ill or disabled student sends a spouse or guardian to retrieve materials. The primary borrower and person they would like to designate as their proxy must complete and sign a one page form. The form must be reviewed and approved by a Librarian or Circulation Supervisor. Once approved, a Proxy Borrower Card will be issued to the proxy borrower allowing rights to check out Library materials on the primary borrower's record. The primary borrower will be responsible for all late fines and other charges. As you talk to faculty members around campus, help us spread the word! What’s Our Policy? News from Serials By Sarah Suazo You may have noticed some changes in the current periodicals section on the third floor. We have begun a shifting project in our area that may continue throughout the summer. The current periodicals have been moved south on the current periodical (short) shelving. All the items are still there, they are just condensed. Also, keep in mind when you are helping patrons locate periodical items that certain current periodical titles are permanently held on the compact shelving. This means that 2011 issues could be in boxes in the compact shelving. A label advising the patron to search in the compact shelving will be found on the current shelving. If you have any questions about locating a periodical title, please contact the Serials department: Debbie (x6336), Sarah (x8313), and Wendy (x8318). We are happy to help you find what you need. Thank you and we appreciate your patience as we work to accomplish our shifting goals. INFORMATION COMMONER 3 ED I TO R I A L IN FORMA T I ON The Information Commoner is an internal communication tool published once a month by and for the Utah Valley University Library staff. Input from all library staff is encouraged. The deadline for information submittal is the third Friday of each month. Send information to Lesli via email. Library Staff Art Show By Judy Robertson The Art Gallery has been reserved for the first Library Staff Art Show. The show is still in the planning stages, but anyone who is employed at UVU and works within the walls of the Library is invited to participate. This is an exciting adventure for the Library to reach out and encourage the talents of coworkers, peers, and friends. Within the library community, we can lend our support and recognize the talents of our diverse staff. A reception honoring those who participate is planned. Several items have already been submitted. They are amazing, and show such talent—more than I anticipated. Submission forms are available online: www.uvu.edu/library/docs/ArtSubmissionForm.pdf. The deadline for submissions is June 30. Completed forms must be returned to me. The Art Gallery is reserved from July 1 through mid August. The actual display will begin Tuesday, July 5. Painting, photography, ceramics, crafts—just about any media are encouraged. There is the possibility that a computer or projector may be available for those wishing to submit video or audio clips, performances, etc. At the close of the show, the items will need to be picked up Friday, August 19. While submitted materials are in our possession, we will make every possible effort to see that they are protected and returned in the condition in which we received them. However, we cannot be responsible for the artwork in the event that it is lost, stolen, or damaged. Please spread the word to others in the building or associated within the Library and encourage them to participate. First Book Program By Jacques d’Emal We'll be partnering with the Bookstore to support the First Book program from April 1-30. The promotional material should be in your hands soon. We'll do things the same way as last year. Students purchasing a children's book from the Bookstore will get a stamped receipt. They will bring the receipt to the Library and we will clear their fines. We give $2.00 in credit for every $1.00 spent on the book. News from Access Services News from Systems By Mark Stevens Planning and preparations continue for server upgrades in coming weeks for Symphony and ContentDM. Specific upgrade dates will be publicized as soon as the documentation is thoroughly reviewed to understand all ramifications. The electronic reserve server may also be upgraded this summer if Sirsi provides the new release. Individual workstations will also be upgraded to Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook (which affects your workstation email tools). Please check with Azucena Aguayo if you might be interested in being an early user and tester of Windows 7 and Outlook. 4 INFORMATION COMMONER News from Technical Services By Keith Rowley As of March 23, the Acquisitions department has processed invoices totaling $176,553.46 since July 1, 2010 (in other words, items received and paid for). We have $107,792.34 worth of items on order right now, leaving us only $62,746.34 to encumber before the end of the semester. The librarians this year have done a very good job of getting their requests to the Acquisitions department in an orderly manner and the Acquisitions people have done a wonderful job of getting the orders into Symphony and out to the vendors. Cataloging has also done a great job of getting things through cataloging. We seldom have a backlog of two or more carts waiting to be cataloged. This year we have received a large number of donations, so large that the shelves in Technical Services are full, and we have 72 boxes of donations in storage waiting for their turn to be processed. Jennie is hoping to get them all entered and cataloged by Christmas. Wish her luck! Our Safari ebook holdings were recently updated. We went from 2,442 titles to 2,878 titles. Right now we have 12,645 titles in our online collection. ASK THE TE CH GU Y By Casey Cotita Q: How can I keep my computer’s power supply from sliding around and falling off desks? A: Take a large rubber band (like off of broccoli) and put it on your computers laptop's power supply to help it stay put. News from Media By Christy Donaldson Last month was Oscar month! See our collection for films that won or were nominated for Oscars this past year. Some of the films are already in our collection; some will be here soon. The King’s Speech walked away with the big awards this year for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, and Achievement in Directing. Inception walked away with four awards. The Social Network racked up three awards, while Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, and The Fighter each came away with two awards. The complete winner list is as follows: Best Picture: The King's Speech Achievement in Directing: The King's Speech, Tom Hooper Best Actor in a Leading Role: The King's Speech, Colin Firth Best Actor in a Supporting Role: The Fighter, Christian Bale Best Actress in a Leading Role: Black Swan, Natalie Portman Best Actress in a Supporting Role: The Fighter, Melissa Leo Best Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3 Achievement in Art Direction: Alice in Wonderland, Todd Cherniawsky, Stefan Dechant, Andrew L. Jones, Mike Stassi, and Christina Ann Wilson Achievement in Cinematography: Inception, Wally Pfister Best Costume Design: Colleen Atwood, Alice in Wonderland Best Documentary (Feature): Inside Job Best Documentary (Short Subject): "Strangers No More" Best Film Editing: The Social Network Best Foreign Language Film: In a Better World, Denmark Best Makeup: The Wolfman, Rick Baker and Dave Elsey Best Music (Original Score): The Social Network, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Best Music (Original Song): "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3, Randy Newman Best Short Film (Animated): "The Lost Thing," Shaun Tan and Andrew Ruhemann Best Short Film (Live Action): "God of Love," Luke Matheny Best Sound Editing: Inception, Richard King Best Sound Mixing: Inception, Lora Hirschberg, Gary A. Rizzo and Ed Novick Best Visual Effects: Inception, Paul Franklin, Chris Corbould, Andrew Lockley, and Peter Bebb Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay): The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin Best Writing (Original Screenplay): The King's Speech, David Seidler INFORMATION COMMONER 5 6 INFORMATION COMMONER By Annie Smith Congressional Quarterly is one of the most respected publishers of politics, government, and current issues books in the United States. We are pleased to announce that we have added reference books from their library to our online offerings. These books cover diverse topics including the United States Supreme Court, interest groups and lobbying, historic documents, social and environmental issues, Congress, diplomacy, and much more. These titles have been integrated into our online catalog, our research guides (www.uvu.edu/library/guides/), and online reference page (www.uvu.edu/library/ researchtools/electronic_encyclopedias.html). News from the Sutherland Archives News from Reference/Instruction The Encyclopedia of the First Amendment, one of 32 titles in the CQ Library By Catherine McIntyre Brent recorded two oral histories this month for Michele Welch’s “Utah Women’s Walk“ project. We hosted Ann Leavitt, mother of former Utah governor and Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael O. Leavitt on March 15, and Dr. Reba Keele, UVU professor of Public and Community Health, on March 21. We’re very happy to be able to host many of these interesting interviews, and Brent does a great job with the audio and video recording. Aimee has continued to work with Timber Anderson, the student intern in Deaf Studies, and they are now turning their attention to a large donation of papers from the U.S. Deaf Basketball Association. Dr. Bryan Eldredge in Deaf Studies, who facilitated the donation of these materials, also has items such as trophies and old assistive devices that he wants to display in the Archives in the future. We have been fortunate to have Anne Morrey doing some transcribing in the Archives. She is completing internship hours for Dr. William Cobb, and has been transcribing some of the interviews from the Vietnam Era Oral History Continued on next page. INFORMATION COMMONER 7 Continued from previous page. Project. Anne works full time in the Admissions office on campus, and it has been great to get to know her. We picked up about 75 more oral history projects from Dr. Kathren Brown, whose students have interviewed veterans of World War II. Once processed, these will be added to the catalog and join the 130 others that we have already done. They are fascinating stories that we plan to digitize in the near future. On April 27, I will be hosting the Spring 2011 meeting of the Utah Academic Library Consortium’s Digitization Committee here at UVU. Digitization librarians from all of the academic libraries in Utah, as well as from BYU-Idaho, University of Nevada-Reno and University of Nevada-Las Vegas will be attending in person and via Wimba. Starting in May, we will have a new intern in Archives. Jeremy Myntti, who currently works in digitization at Ancestry.com, is completing an MLS at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. He wants experience in the basics of archival processing, so we’ll have plenty of work for him to do! He will be here through the end of July. Also, May starts the busy “Conference Presentation” season! On May 13 I’m participating in a panel discussion at ULA’s annual conference with other Digitization Committee members about the benefits of online finding aids and the basics of how to get started creating them. Then May 19-20 I’ll be in Boise, Idaho for the Conference of Intermountain Archivists, where I’ll participate in a presentation on how doing oral histories can foster good relations and participation between archives and the community. And finally, May 26-27 brings the Mormon History Association conference in St. George, where I’ll be staffing a publicity table for the Mountain West Digital Library.
