ItemVirtual Browsing: A White Paper(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-05) Bennett, Charlie ; Porter, SethThis paper proposes an addition to the Library’s search and discovery services. In order to recreate one of the qualities of collection browsing that is lost by relocating the physical collection off-site, the Library should provide a recommendation service that can provide the kind of serendipitous search results that patrons have identified as critical-to-quality in their browsing. The paper details the proposed recommendation service and presents a SWOT analysis of creating the service.

ItemReimagining the Georgia Tech Library(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05) Bennett, Charlie ; Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Rolando, Lizzy ; Rascoe, Fred ; Critz, Lori ; Renfro, Crystal ; Baer, Willie ; Axford, MaryIn this paper, we discuss the major elements of that renewal as pertaining to our Library. First, we are a research library. A 21st century research institution still requires the multifaceted services of a research library. We also discuss the space of the Library itself. A library has never been merely a container for books. The physical space of the renewed Library will be the interdisciplinary platform for innovative scholarship and learning, as services expand. Finally, we discuss the role of the Library as an integrated network of resources, focusing on the important and unique collaborative services provided by Library faculty and staff . The renewed Georgia Tech Library will be the research library that Georgia Tech needs to both support and define what a 21st century research institution should be.

ItemAcademic Engagement in the Library Commons(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-01) Bodnar, Jon ; Bennett, CharlieWhile library commons are designed to increase student use and investment in the library for learning, many of them do little to involve faculty in their operations. Because learning is a cooperative enterprise between faculty and students, a more successful commons might explore opportunities to engage faculty and students in their scholarly and educational work. One strategy for doing this is to work with them to develop events and exhibits that build on the unique environment, tools, and resources of a library commons.
