Library collections have rapidly evolved from a predominance of
print books and journals to an ever growing mix of digital and
print resources. Support staff are expected to know how to help
patrons select and use digital information services such as
databases, digital collections, digital archives, ebooks, steaming
video, discovery search products, the Internet and user-focused
library interfaces and applications. Yet most library support staff
(LSS) has not had training to become proficient in finding, using,
and instructing others in the wide range of digital library
services. Using Digital Information Services in the Library
Workplace: An Introduction for Support Staff is an up-to-date text
for professors who teach digital information use and management in
library support staff programs and a handbook for those working in
libraries who want to keep current as they expand their knowledge
and skills. This book will help support staff members to: -Know and
use terms and concepts used in digital information services. -Use
digital information services effectively -Know how to evaluate and
select databases and services -Understand issues and trends in the
library digital information industry -Distinguish key features and
enhancements found among vendors and providers of digital
libraries, digital collections, databases, and e-texts; -Plan,
budget, and write grants for digital services; -Understand the
complexity and options of licensing and usage agreements for
digital information services; -Know copyright permissions and
acceptable use guidelines for digital information services. -Use
government databases and other digitized systems and information
sources; -Locate digital collections of museums, universities, and
other sources that librarians can share with patrons. -Understand
the concepts of preservation using digital technologies. -Create
local digital resources of primary and historical materials and
artifacts with metadata and cataloging for searchable access. The
Library Support Staff series is aimed for staff that work in
libraries and want to enhance their skills, college professors who
teach library support staff instruction, and/or students who seek
academic credit. Each book in the series addresses a specific topic
in an academic curriculum for library support staff. Content of
each book in the series is aligned with American Library
Association competencies for accredited programs and learning for
library support staff (ALA-LSSC). The text is written in clear
language with practical examples of how performance can contribute
to exemplary library service.
