ItemVirtual Browsing with Primo & Syndetics Unbound(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-05) Jeffcoat, Heather ; Slutskaya, SofiaThe objective of this session is to help Alma/Primo libraries make decisions about selecting virtual browsing products and integrating them with the new Primo UI. When the Georgia Tech Library relocated the majority of its physical collection to an off-site storage facility, it became increasingly important to provide a virtual browsing experience to our patrons. In this session we will discuss what criteria could be considered to evaluate various virtual browsing options including Primo's native virtual shelf. The session will touch upon such evaluation criteria as user expectations; compatibility with Primo and other products already owned by Georgia Tech Library; complexity of implementation and maintenance; and the solution’s sustainability over time. It will also cover our reasons for selecting Syndetics Unbound, questions we considered during the set up, and challenges we experienced. The benefits and shortcomings of the Syndetics Unbound Virtual Browse Shelf will also be highlighted. Finally, we will address Georgia Tech librarians’, undergraduate and graduate patrons’ feedback about using Syndetics Virtual Browse Shelf, features they find attractive and potential improvements they recommend. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to make an educated decision about implementing Syndetics at their own institutions.

ItemIntertwined Integration: The Story of Desegregation at Three Major Georgia Universities(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-04-07) Pellerin, Amanda ; Armour, Steven ; Bowen, Laurel ; Fisher, KatherineArchivists from University System of Georgia Institutions present on a collective topic from our schools’ histories to tell the story of higher education in Georgia, community development around the schools, and well-known Georgia alumni. Having access to many institutional archives increases resources and perspectives on a topic. Sometimes verification of historical anecdotes or answers to questions comes from evidence outside of the institution's own records. Using the archival materials from each institution’s collections as well as related records found in the Georgia Archives, the presenters show how research across archival institutions reveals intertwined stories. In leaning on each other in this way, we celebrate the practice of archival record keeping in its ability to provide dynamic accounts of historical events that support public services to our patrons, communities, and stakeholders.

ItemImplementing A New Manufacturing Vision: Challenges, Mechanisms, Partnerships and Lessons Learned(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-09-15) Wang, BenWhat will the future of manufacturing look like 15 years from now? How does manufacturing stay competitive in the global economy? Dr. Ben Wang, Executive Director of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute discusses implementing a new manufacturing vision. Developed countries realize that a robust economy must have a strong manufacturing base. The service industry alone cannot sustain a long-lasting, prosperous economy. Globally, policy makers are redefining their macro-economic policies, including advanced manufacturing such as the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (USA), Industry 4.0 (Germany), MIC2025 (China), Catapult (UK), to name a few, in order to stay competitive in the global marketplace. With a renewed interest in manufacturing, we must first define the characteristics of the future of manufacturing. Manufacturing of the future will be built upon the following pillars: 1) advanced processes; 2) innovative materials; 3) disruptive business models of extended value chains; and 4) a skilled workforce. Manufacturing processes will no longer be limited to metal cutting or fabricating semiconductors; instead, nano-processing, bio-manufacturing and additive methods will increase in use. On the materials front, even though metals and alloys will continue to be a main material of choice, composites, nano-materials and bio-materials, including biological and stem cells, will be important as we move forward. It’s important to note that the line between manufacturing and the service industry is blurring. Ten or fifteen years from now, it would be hard to tell which company is in manufacturing or which company is in the service industry. Advanced manufacturing-supported services will be the hallmark of manufacturing. There are many challenges going forward, among which workforce development ranks number one. In the U.S. alone, at least two million manufacturing jobs cannot be filled due to a lack of skilled graduates, from two-year technical colleges all the way to post-doctoral personnel. Higher education institutions are adapting to the renewed interest in advanced manufacturing. The adjustments are not straightforward or easy. There are technical and cultural challenges. Dr. Ben Wang will share with faculty and students the challenges we will encounter, mechanisms we have already put in place, partnerships we have built, and lessons we have learned, as we march into the future of manufacturing.

ItemMirror, Mirror On the Wall Show Me Documents That Represent Us All: Using Archival Records To Create Inclusive Lessons in the Classroom(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-07-29) Pellerin, Amanda ; Westerman, MirandaStudies have shown that children who see diversity in the stories they read have both a stronger confidence in their identity and show greater empathy towards others. This same principle can be applied to historical documents. Focusing on the dominate historical narrative can imply a greater value and ability of one group which is historically inaccurate and perpetuates discrimination. Archivists work with K-12 populations and their educators to introduce concepts of archival literacy and primary source research, but there is little discussion about deliberately injecting these interactions with historical records that show diverse narratives. For example, the legacy collections of academic archives focus on the founders of the institution who are often white and male, but these stories do not reflect the role of women and minorities who also contributed to the success and sustainability of the school throughout its history. Helping students K-12 find relatable stories in the historical records of colleges and universities may also promote applications to higher education from underrepresented populations who now see themselves as part of the institution’s narrative.

ItemHitting the SWEET Spot with Library Communications(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-04-04) Givens, Marlee ; Jeffcoat, Heather
