ItemReinventing the Library --How Repositories Are Causing Librarians to Rethink Their Professional Roles(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-04) Walters, Tyler O.The rise of digital repositories is helping libraries reinvent themselves. The benefits to libraries and universities creating institutional repositories (IRs) are great as libraries restructure, pursue collaborations, and re-position themselves to become major digital publishers and broadcasters in the scholarly world. They will no longer be passive receivers of information but active disseminators of intellectual output for entire universities. This article explores the IR's role in overall library transformation and examines the organizational changes and internal partnerships necessary to strengthen IR programs. Specifically, the creation of digital library initiatives units as well as changes to other library units are discussed.

ItemA Natural Collaboration: Preservation for Archival Collections in ARL Libraries(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007) De Stefano, Paula ; Walters, Tyler O.In-house collaboration between the archives and preservation departments of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member libraries is not well established. This article presents data from a survey of special collections repositories in ARL member libraries, conducted in 1995 and repeated in 2006, that document the low levels of collaboration. The authors probe the history and development of preservation efforts in archives and in libraries and make a case for further examination of how the expertise and resources of archives and preservation departments can be shared in managing the preservation of archival materials.

ItemCreating a BUZZ: Attracting SCI/TECH Students to the Library!(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006) Axford, Mary ; Bedner, Ray ; Carpenter, Cathy ; Critz, Lori ; Madden, M. Leslie ; Mathews, Brian S. ; Renfro, CrystalIn the land of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, we are "swarming" the campus with a multi-targeted publicity campaign. The Library's newly formed Information Services Marketing Group has launched several dynamic initiatives in 2005 -- all in an effort to raise the profile of the Library, to increase gate count and resource usage, and to expand campus-wide partnership opportunities in a fast-paced urban environment. Shattering the image of the library as a book mausoleum, our new programs include Tuesday Talks, an afternoon speaker series spotlighting exciting campus research, and T-Paper, a hip, student-oriented restroom newsletter. Emerging projects include a stereotype-bursting library entry in the University's Homecoming Parade and posters of "STAR" student-athletes promoting library resources. The Marketing Group is meeting some key challenges facing today's academic science libraries, by fostering campus connections, creating new collaborative opportunities with faculty, and helping to rebrand our Library as a progressive 21st century "apiary."

ItemReference and Instruction Programs Go Virtual as a Form of Outreach: Case Studies from Academic Libraries(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-08) Walters, Tyler O. ; Williams, Clara R.Academic, special, and public libraries cater to a customer base that is no longer defined by location. Users of information are global clients who are continuously connected to resources and are not restricted to access in any physical facility. Outreach has been defined as bringing services out to where they are needed and can be traced to public libraries, where library branches and bookmobiles served the information needs of the communities. Academic outreach is a relatively new phenomenon designed to reach patrons outside the library, whether in student dormitories or faculty offices. To serve the needs of their resident and global information customers, Haselton Library and Knowledge Center developed an information literacy program, customized web portals and real-time, online reference services.

ItemThe Strongest Link: The Management and Processing of Large Collections(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002) Hackbart-Dean, Pam ; de Catanzaro, ChristineThe work of every archives includes selecting, preserving, and making available materials of enduring research value for current and future research use. This effort is done in conjunction with creating processing priorities, identifying space for collections, and locating resources and staffing. Processing plays a crucial role in making collections available to researchers. However, the action of processing cannot take place in isolation. Acquiring collections of quality, planning priorities for processing, determining levels of arrangement and description, establishing standards and procedures for processing, and working with "living" (or continuously growing) collections are fundamentally important for any successful archival program. Ultimately, the planning and management of processing becomes the essential building block for any archives.
