Systems Librarianship: A Practical Guide for Librarians offers new
systems librarians and interested LIS students foundational
knowledge about the field of systems librarianship as well as
practical information and strategies for common projects like
migrating a library system and technology planning. With up-to-date
information based on a survey of 200 practicing systems librarians,
the current professional literature, and on-the-job experience,
this practical guide covers everything a new systems librarian
should know in order to succeed in this field. The first half of
the book covers background information about the systems librarian
position, hiring trends and job searching tips, as well as
essential knowledge on library systems like the ILS, content
management systems, and emerging technology. The second half of the
book provides how-to information for some of the most common and
often daunting projects a new systems librarian might be expected
to take on, including systems migration, website redesign,
technology planning, and project management. Also included are
where to find useful resources and support from the library
community, such as pertinent listservs, professional associations,
conferences, and journals, blogs, and other professional content.
Finally, the book features informational interviews with over a
dozen systems librarians working in a variety of library types
across the professional spectrum, offering their experienced takes
and advice on libraries, technology, and the profession. While new
systems librarians can often feel overwhelmed and underprepared for
their first professional position, this book will serve as a useful
resource for navigating the ins and outs of this dynamic and
challenging field.
The College Library Information on Policy and Practice (CLIPP)
publishing program, under the auspices of the College Libraries
Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries,
provides college and small university libraries analysis and
examples of library practices and procedures. In six
sections-Introduction, Literature Review and Bibliography, Analysis
and Discussion of Survey Results, CLIPP Survey with Results,
Additional Resources, and Sample Documents-Institutional
Repositories focuses exclusively on institutional repositories at
colleges and small universities by collecting relevant survey data
about the planning, funding, staffing, and implementation of
repositories at these institutions, as well as documentation on
best practices, policies, guidelines, and other information germane
to the deployment of an institutional repository in an environment
focused primarily on teaching. Where the repositories of research
universities tend to focus on the work of faculty and researchers
within the institution's community and provide access to their
accumulated preprints, post-prints, datasets, and other research
output, the repositories at smaller institutions often feature
student theses and dissertations, honors papers and capstone
projects, courseware and other teaching materials, student and
faculty published journals, archival materials, and other content
that better reflects the teaching and student-focused missions
common at smaller schools. Institutional Repositories collects some
of the techniques and solutions unique to their size that colleges
and small universities have found, including shifting the focus of
collection to student research, joining other schools in
consortiums to offset costs, creative combinations for staffing,
and creating new methods for increasing faculty participation.
