    Persistence and teamwork for new horizons: Exploring a distributed teaching model in support of information literacy competencies
    ( 2018-05) Altamirano, Isabel ; Givens, Marlee ; Holdsworth, Liz ; Mi, Ximin ; Rascoe, Fred ; Viars, Karen
    The Georgia Tech Writing and Composition program, part of the School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC) builds first-year composition courses around literature, film, science, technology, and pop culture. The Library has long been embedded in this program, providing resources and course-integrated instruction led by the subject librarian for the LMC. This is a highly successful partnership with increasing demand far beyond the capabilities of a single person to meet. For the first time, librarians whose background or primary focus is science and engineering are providing instruction to undergraduate English students. In a STEM school primarily concerned with the history of technological literature, the approach breaks new ground by combining efforts across disciplines. This presentation elucidates the model and offer perspectives from three embedded Georgia Tech subject librarians. Additionally, they will reflect on their first year in the new program, examine broader trends in library liaison models, and anticipate future developments. In early 2016, the Georgia Tech Library reorganized many of its subject and other public-facing librarians into a single department, called Campus Engagement and Scholarly Outreach (CESO). This unit breaks down traditional liaison barriers in order to meet the rapidly shifting needs of the students, faculty, and staff of Georgia Tech. In addition to liaison librarians, CESO includes experts in assessment, digital scholarship, and data visualization among other areas of expertise. This colocation of different kinds of expertise lead to the creation of the distributed teaching model, where influences from around the academy inform and enhance instruction. Presented at LOEX 2018 Annual Conference.

    Communicating effectively during an LMS migration: Hitting the sweet spot
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-10) Givens, Marlee ; Jeffcoat, Heather
    In the ever-changing library landscape effective communication is paramount, especially during a significant change like introducing a new library management system (LMS). During Georgia Tech’s rapid implementation of a NextGen library system, our communications team had to quickly develop a strategy for internal and external communications. Focusing on the essential messages for both staff and users enabled us to hit the sweet spot between too much communication and too little. We will discuss best practices, challenges, successes and lessons learned as we underwent our recent LMS migration.

    Navigating the Research Information Management Ecosystem
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-10-26) Givens, Marlee ; Parham, Susan Wells
    Research Information Management (RIM) systems can track and synchronize data about faculty scholarship and activities, including grants, articles, student courses and advisement, and professional service. These systems give an overview of the research and scholarly enterprise of an institution, and they offer tools for collaborating, publicizing faculty work, complying with policies, and creating reports for annual review or promotion and tenure. Information managed in a RIM system comes from different units across a university, and the system integrates data from a variety of internal and external sources. Where is the “official” profile, and who controls it?
