web mining technology and Academic Librarianship human machine connections for the twenty first century
First Monday, 1999Co-Authors: May Y ChauAbstract:John Naisbitt predicted in his book Megatrends (1980) that high technology would bring the need for "high human touch." This prediction is reflected in today's information-intense world. Due to the rapid development of technology, the library profession faces an uncertain future. Library professionals must use insight to identify technology's potential to benefit the Academic library's role in the twenty-first century. This paper focuses on the human-machine connection between Academic librarians and Web mining technology with respect to electronic reference service. The connection is featured in processes of: (a) identifying problems of electronic reference service; (b) selecting a technology to solve the problem; and, (c) envisioning the potential of the selected technology for Librarianship. Scenarios address pertinent questions, including: (a) What role should librarians play to facilitate implementation of a technology? and, (b) What opportunities do technology offer to the profession in return?

Academic liaison Librarianship curatorial pedagogy or pedagogical curation
Ariadne, 2010Co-Authors: Allan ParsonsAbstract:In the 1990s and early 2000s, the liaison model in Academic Librarianship developed around three roles: reference services, instructional services and collection development, with collection management being the core around which the other two roles are organised. This liaison model of Academic Librarianship is closely tied to the model of the Academic library as the gateway to the collection and hence to the knowledge encoded within it. However, these explicit functional roles (reference, instruction, collection) mask a communicational role which is likely to be of far greater importance going forward: relationship building. The building of relationships is the nexus or linking principle of an engagement model. The engagement model enables an emerging field of practice to be recognised, whereby those engaged in liaison may develop their roles through an ever-deepening engagement with learning practices at several levels: the development of Academic learning, teaching and research; organisational learning and organisational development; and institutional learning and institutional development. The practical implications of an engagement model for higher education institutions are explored, from the perspective of the University of Westminster.

Academic Librarianship today todd gilman ed lanham md rowman littlefield 2017 248p paper 55 00 isbn 978 1 4422 7875 2
College & Research Libraries, 2017Co-Authors: John M BuddAbstract:Todd Gilman has put together a first-rate book on the issues facing Academic libraries and librarians today. Moreover, he has selected a genuine who’s-who of thinkers and practitioners, each of whom is uniquely able to provide a critical perspective on the fifteen topics included in the book. While some collections of essays are uneven, this volume provides consistently excellent pieces on difficult and complex matters. Each essay is concise, but it is by no means cursory. The volume begins with a superior historical sketch by Deanna Marcum, who definitely has the depth of perspective to offer a thoroughgoing synopsis of the recent past. To augment the history, Marcum connects the past to the present. Barbara Dewey follows with an overview of governance, describing the external and internal intricacies that make up the structural elements of colleges and universities. The scope of inclusion—from state and federal influences all the way to the roles of institutional general counsels and alumni affairs—is extremely difficult to locate elsewhere.
