  • the Instruction Librarian s role in creating a usable web site
    Reference Services Review, 2002
    Co-Authors: Kim Vassiliadis, Lisa R Stimatz
    Abstract:

    The importance of creating a usable library Web site has been well documented in the literature; however, little has been written on the role of Instruction in the process of Web site evaluation and design. This paper describes experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and highlights the significant role that Instruction Librarians need to play in assessing and creating usable Web sites. The authors argue that Instruction Librarians need to address the impact that a poorly designed Web site has on user education programs, and become actively involved in the redesign process. With their unique experience and perspective, Instruction Librarians have much to contribute to the process, and even more to gain. By understanding the mental model our users bring to their search for information, we can improve the Instruction we offer.

  • the impact of serial solutions summon on information literacy Instruction Librarian perceptions
    Internet Reference Services Quarterly, 2011
    Co-Authors: Stefanie Buck, Margaret Mellinger
    Abstract:

    Web-scale discovery systems, such as Serial Solutions’ Summon™ Service, are replacing older federated search technologies as the tool for users to access library resources quickly and easily. The impact of Web-scale discovery systems on Instruction is not known. This study of Instruction Librarian perceptions of Summon's impact on Instruction and student information literacy skills is based on a survey. The survey reveals Librarians’ ambivalence toward Summon. While some Librarians agree that Summon has the potential to change the way Librarians teach information literacy skills, it has not been fully integrated into the classroom.
