The 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.

Archivists 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.

The Georgia Tech Library has launched a series of short video tutorials following a 3-step recipe: tackling user pain points, writing good scripts, and creating magic through editing. In this session, librarians will cook up a basic script for a watchable video or test a pre-existing idea and receive constructive feedback.
