The January 2012 issue of C&RL News
is now freely available online. Data curation, management, and
preservation are increasingly becoming part of the academic and research
library’s contributions to their institutions. Susan Wells Parham, Jon
Bodnar, and Sara Fuchs outline methods used at the Georgia Institute of
Technology to assess faculty data curation needs in their article “Supporting tomorrow’s research.”
At the University of Texas-San Antonio, librarians reached out to their
campus community by collaborating with human resources to add a library
introduction class for professional and administrative staff to the
university orientation process. Natasha Arguello and DeeAnn Green
discuss the project in “You mean I can use the library, too?”
In this month’s ACRL TechConnect feature, Harry Glazer revisits his 2009 C&RL News article on library Facebook pages and poses the question “‘Likes’ are lovely, but do they lead to more logins?” The article discusses possible metrics for gauging Facebook page success. The trends of the mobile Web and apps continue to grow, especially as more smart devices become available. Stefanie Havelka and Alevtina Verbovetskaya present a call to arms for “Mobile information literacy” in their The Way I See It essay.
The new year means another round of ALA/ACRL elections. We take a look at this year’s candidates for ACRL vice-president/ president-elect, Board of Directors, and section officers in this month’s issue. Review the full statements by the vice-presidential candidates forthcoming in the February issue and vote in the election beginning March 19.
Make sure to check out the other features and columns this month, including Internet Resources on the bicentennial of the War of 1812 by Susan M. Frey, the newly revised ACRL Standards for Libraries in Higher Education, the index for last year’s volume of C&RL News, and our usual slate of departments including Internet Reviews and New Publications.
Capturing the evolution of the education collections and services integral to teacher preparation, initial chapters focus on the foundations of place CMCs within theoretical and historical contexts—their original goals, purposes and services. Succeeding chapters discuss how curriculum centers are evolving to meet current and future changes in teacher preparation. Among the notable contributors are Nancy O’Brien, Penny Beile and JoAnn Carr, all recipients of the ACRL/EBSS Distinguished Education and Behavioral Sciences Librarian Award. Carr is also editor of the ACRL publication A Guide to the Management of Curriculum Materials Centers for the 21st Century. Additional chapters are written by other distinguished practitioners and leaders in the fields of education and curriculum centers librarianship. This volume is essential reading for education liaison librarians, curriculum materials center collections and librarians, library schools and general professional collections.
Curriculum Materials Collections and Centers: Legacies from the Past, Visions of the Future is available for purchase in print, as an e-book, and as a print/ e-book bundle through the ALA Online Store; Amazon.com; and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the U.S. or (770) 442-8633 for international customers. The title will also be available in the ALA Store at the upcoming ALA Midwinter Meeting in Dallas.
