Welcome Remarks & SCELC Update
Presenter: Rick Burke, Executive Director, SCELC; Bob Kieft, Coordinator, SCELC Shared Print Program
An update on SCELC and our many SCELC member services, including our new strategic plan and exploration of new collaborative collection services.
Keynote: The Politics of Online Information: Algorithmic Ethics, Privacy, and the Commodification of Big Data in Higher Education
Dr. Safiya Noble, UCLA
Professor Noble will share her research in socio-cultural informatics. Her keynote will focus on the rise in corporate mediation of computing platforms and software and the implications for discovery, equal access, privacy, and representation. Dr. Noble will provide a critical perspective on the connection of these trends to higher education and the crucial role of academic libraries in defending technology/software in the public interest.
Why would SCELC libraries care about the Digital PUBLIC Library of America (aka DPLA)?
Kathleen Salomon, Associate Director, Getty Research Institute
Laine Farley, Planning Consultant
Greg Lucas, California State Librarian
Kathleen Salomon will talk about why DPLA is important, both to the Getty and to SCELC libraries in California. She will explain why the Getty decided to join, and the potential of DPLA for all of our institutions and our respective communities, as well as for those new ones that we will foster.
Laine Farley will discuss CALDISH (California DPLA Service Hub): the vision for creating a service hub collaborative in California; who is involved at this stage; the approach we have taken; and what happens next.
Greg Lucas will discuss the State Library’s role in this project. The California State Library, in partnership with Califa Group, is embarking on a multi-year initiative to help public libraries preserve the local history of their communities and make those images publicly available online. The State Library will collaborate with public libraries and other cultural heritage groups, such as genealogical or historical societies, archives and museums, to develop regional digital preservation and collections plans. This project will encourage libraries to work with the other cultural heritage groups in their jurisdiction to create a joint list of their holdings and a joint priority list of the top priorities for digitization or digital preservation. The State Library will help successful applicants digitize their priority collections through a number of means, including roving digitization stations, federal dollars permitting.
While still in the planning stage, the goal is also to include creation of a hub to provide digitization, metadata creation, and web delivery services for small and mid-size institutions and also to provide targeted grant opportunities for digitization and digital preservation projects. This project dovetails with ongoing efforts to create a Digital Public Library of America service hub, which will work with all types of libraries, archives and museums in California.
Thomas E. Phillips, Claremont School of Theology
Introducing the Open Library of the Humanities
This talk will inform participants about a contemporary open access project in the humanities. The presentation will briefly explain the origin of the Open Library of the Humanities, including its most important founders, before elaborating on the vision for creating a humanities library on the model of the Public Library of Science (PLOS). The presentation will explain the quality controls and funding mechanisms for the OLH.

Pop Quiz: Using Viral Marketing Techniques for Library Outreach
Buzzfeed quizzes are engaging - we’ve seen them pop up all over our social news feeds asking the most important questions of our day such as, “Which state do you actually belong in?”. These quizzes quickly draw you in and grab your attention with fun slogans and eye-catching images. Inspired by quizzes we’ve seen and other libraries, we created an online quiz that matches students to library spaces based on their interests and personality. This quiz was promoted through social media, featured on the libraries’ website, and used in orientation programming. Easy to create and promote, we’ll provide tips and tricks for marketing library spaces, collections, or services using quizzes that go viral.

So … what do librarians really think of our discovery tool?
In Spring 2015, a group of librarians at the LMU Library, as part of their service on the library’s EBSCO Discovery Service Evaluation Task Force surveyed all librarians at LMU to understand their perceptions of OneSearch+ (EBSCO Discovery Tool) and its usefulness in their liaison areas. The goal of the survey was to understand whether they found relevant resources that they were looking for, any challenges they encountered while conducting their searches, to improve our instance of OneSearch+ based on the survey feedback and to identify next steps. This presentation will highlight some of the feedback ranging from librarians being mostly satisfied to not satisfied; uncertainty over how the system actually functions and reservations on using it for reference and instruction; and the need for information literacy skills when using the discovery tool.
Rebecca Davis & Nancy Olmos, University of Southern California
The Beginnings: Measuring Racial Microaggressions in the Medical Library Community
The amount of academic literature published on racial microaggressions has increased dramatically since the early 2000s. However, the majority of the literature published is in the field of psychology. There is a gap in the current library literature regarding racial microaggressions in the medical library community. The speakers will share information about what microaggressions are, the group’s research process, and their work towards developing a tool to measure racial microaggressions among medical librarians and library staff from colleagues and the library’s community of users. The speakers will also share their future plans for the project which include an outreach plan for the tool and a call for participation in the study.
Jeremy Whitt, Pepperdine University
Using Pay-Per-View Access to Supplant the "Big Deal": A Case Study at Pepperdine University
In 2011, Pepperdine University Libraries discontinued a “Big Deal” agreement. To provide ongoing access to content, Pepperdine utilizes pay-per-view tokens and post-cancellation access. This talk will offer a look at the long-term results of implementing the pay-per-view approach in place of a “Big Deal” by evaluating costs and use, and it will also offer lessons learned from implementing the pay-per-view access model to those who might be considering the feasibility of a similar approach.
Amy Jiang, University of La Verne
Makerspace and Library, an Incubator for young makers
This talk will share how a private university library started to bring Maker technologies such as 3D printers scanners into the library. The speaker will share the strategic visioning of the project, the challenges encountered, and faculty and student response."
Sanjeet Mann, University of Redlands
Behind the Scenes With the SCELC Electronic Resources Hackfest
The first SCELC Electronic Resources Hackfest, to be held May 2-3, 2016 at William Jessup University, will give electronic resource librarians an opportunity to build practical e-resource management skills, solve problems, and tap into a network of regional expertise. How was the idea for this event born, and how did 8 librarians from 5 libraries across California come together to develop it? This presentation will share insights from the planning team on leveraging SPIF funding, connecting needs and ideas, and marshaling the resources needed to create a new community of practice serving e-resource librarians.
Caroline Muglia, University of Southern California
Curating Usable ILS Data for Subject Selectors
Like most libraries, USC Libraries has so much data! We have metrics on usage, acquisitions, trial resources, and our patron driven models. For subject selectors, the data deluge can be overwhelming and unhelpful in terms of actionable next step. This lightning talk will introduce the “Content Gains” report, a sortable and highly usable curated monthly report prepared by the Collection Assessment Librarian. The goal of this monthly report is to inform librarians and staff about the collection growth overall to illustrate a comprehensive view of the changes in the collection over time. This report seeks to share the new titles in print and electronic, databases, serials, and other formats including music and audio-visuals and includes a numeric breakdown of our demand-driven acquisition (DDA) program and a report on the lending and borrowing practices of the InterLibrary Loan department. Librarians have applauded the report’s utility in interacting with teaching faculty and determining how ILL and the DDA program can be used to strengthen their subject areas.
Ashley Sanders, Claremont Colleges Library
Designing a Digital Incubator at the Claremont Colleges Library
In less than two years, the Claremont Colleges Library has become the consortial heart of digital humanities and digital scholarship on the Claremont Colleges campus. To further the exciting work already underway, the library is developing two new digital research, teaching, and learning spaces: the Digital Tool Shed (formerly our mono-purpose GIS Lab) and the Digital Research Studio. This project has strengthened the Library’s social capital on campus by including multiple stakeholders in the design phase, listening to expressed wishes and underlying concerns, and synthesizing the feedback into an actionable plan. This presentation will briefly describe the vision and design cycle for the Digital Tool Shed. The Digital Tool Shed is envisioned as an incubator for innovative digital research, teaching, and learning – a space for exploration, practice, engagement, and experiential learning. To refine this vision, the Library planning team partnered with the Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity to conduct interviews with potential users, identify stakeholders’ needs and interests, and craft solutions.

Now at Terminal Near You: A Collaboratively Developed Online Information Literacy Tutorial
In 2014, a group of Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD) library directors proposed to create an online information literacy tutorial targeting art and design students and visual learners and offer it through the online learning company, lynda.com. A small task force of library directors, including three from California representing SCELC institutions, developed the content for the tutorial, tailoring it with art and design-related examples while aligning with ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Lynda.com produced, taped, and edited the course in their studios in Carpenteria, CA, and it went live in Summer 2015. This lightning talk will provide an overview of the project’s collaborative process, goals, challenges and assessment plans as well as data regarding the tutorial’s first six months of use.

The SCELC Vendors vs. Librarians Bowling Tournament began early in the 21st century. Vague recollections from the participants are unable to pinpoint the exact year in which it began, and we suspect we are now the world's longest-running vendor vs. librarian sporting event... at least in our neighborhood, if not the greater universe. We also know that the librarians have never won the tournament!
So, we urge you to continue the tradition! Join us for free pizza, wings, cocktails, beer (or other non-alcoholic beverages of your choice), and two hours of bowling fun. Maybe the librarians might surprise the vendors this year... who knows!

Libraries along with their collections and services need to be where their users are – not just on Web sites, but also directly searchable via search engines. Transforming MARC records to Linked Data is an important step to revealing the remarkable resources of library collections to the Web for students, faculty and researchers, but also potential customers such as prospective students/parents, business community, alumni/donors, campus administration and even as a recruitment tool.
Zepheira is working with librarians and their service providers to build the Library.Link Network, an enterprise level infrastucture that uses Linked Data to give libraries new opportunities to serve "anywhere, any device" users. At this session, we will explore how libraries are expanding access to their resources by publishing structured data about their collections and services to the Web. You will learn how Linked Data can impact workflow planning, management, strategic planning, and the communities you serve.
Answer questions such as: "How many households within 1 mile from my potential business earn over $100k a year?” or "What are the largest employers by industry in the region?" or "What cities spend the most on pets?"

Founded in 1949 at Yale University, the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) is an internationally recognized organization in the fields of anthropology, psychology, and sociology. HRAF's mission is to encourage and facilitate the cross-cultural study of human culture, society, and behavior in the past and present. HRAF produces two online databases: eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology, and other resources for teaching and research. The membership-based, annually growing eHRAF databases are organized by cultures, ethnic groups, indigenous people, and/or archaeological traditions. eHRAF is unique in having subject indexing at the page and paragraph level. These subject categories allow for detailed and precise searching for concepts not easily found with keywords.
Join me in exploring our award-winning eHRAF World Cultures & eHRAF Archaeology databases (each voted by Choice Magazine "Top 10 Internet Resources”). We’ll start out by taking a closer look at eHRAF’s truly unique document (e.g., analyzed and subject-indexed books, journal articles, dissertations, etc.) and collection structure (ethnographic documents organized by culture names). We then turn to eHRAF’s powerful search mechanism that automatically filters results by major geographic locations and even subsistence and sample types. We’ll discuss how these and other features make eHRAF a great research tool, especially for cross-cultural and comparative studies. Lastly we’ll explore how Teaching eHRAF, an online portal with 40+ online student exercises, paper assignments, quizzes, can provide new ideas for teaching under- and graduate-level classes in the social sciences and other disciplines with an interest in cultural and ethnic diversity.

Libraries along with their collections and services need to be where their users are – not just on Web sites, but also directly searchable via search engines. Transforming MARC records to Linked Data is an important step to revealing the remarkable resources of library collections to the Web for students, faculty and researchers, but also potential customers such as prospective students/parents, business community, alumni/donors, campus administration and even as a recruitment tool.
Zepheira is working with librarians and their service providers to build the Library.Link Network, an enterprise level infrastucture that uses Linked Data to give libraries new opportunities to serve "anywhere, any device" users. At this session, we will explore how libraries are expanding access to their resources by publishing structured data about their collections and services to the Web.

Public Discussion Boards
Engage with your community right in your site – both on a system-wide board for general conversation and on individual guides. I
This is fantastic for the Publishing Workflow or for guide convos in general – instead of having to have conversations about the guide via email, you can have it in the guide’s Discussion Board!
Discussions can be marked as Questions, too, so you can ask questions and mark the Best Answer from the replies you receive. On Discussions that aren’t marked as Questions, you can mark a reply as Helpful, making it stand out on the page. Opt-in to emails to follow a Discussion and always be in the know on new replies, even if you don’t comment on the thread itself!
mSite Builder is here!With mSites, you can make any site mobile-friendly using our handy redirect option – this catches anyone viewing the site using a mobile device and redirects them to your uber friendly mobile landing page. Plus, you can integrate widgets from LibCal, LibAnswers, LibSurveys, or any other site that provides widgets. It’s even super easy to add icons to your mSite thanks to the fully integrated Font Awesome icon library.
But why stop at creating mobile menus for your website? Let your imagination run wild! Create info sites / micro sites / interactive sites / app-like sites – whatever you want to call them. For example, create sites for: a self-led tour of exhibits, a self-led orientation / tour for folks to walk around the campus or library, classroom assessment / feedback opportunities, and so much more. We’re sure you all could think of a slew of ideas for learn-as-you-walk (or sit ) tools!
Together we make breakthroughs possible.
