With a richer understanding of our learners’ individual journeys, we can make our interventions more relevant and more timely; we can structure our courses to allow pathfinding to develop; and we can help our learners to navigate reflectively through the sea of information. What if we could find a way to help learners track their discovery journeys? Librarians, learning support and academic staff could benefit from knowing more about the pathways that learners take through academic information: how they perceive, model and negotiate the information environment. With a richer understanding of our learners’ individual journeys, we could make our interventions more relevant and more timely; we could structure our course to allow pathfinding to develop and more efficient and skillful pathways develop; and we could help our learners to navigate reflectively through the sea of information. We present a range of information discovery journeys, from reflections upon formal search processes to a library fairy story. This book represents the richness of information discovery.

Library Publishing Toolkit

Library Publishing Toolkit / Edited bei Allison P. Brown. - Geneso, NY: IDS Project Press, 2013. - xx, 380 pages : Illustrationen.  978-0-98987226-0-5(print), 978-0-98987226-1-2 (e-Book), 978-0-98987226-2-9 (EPUB) -  http://opensuny.org/omp/index.php/IDSProject/catalog/book/25

Both public and academic libraries are invested in the creation and distribution of information and digital content. They have morphed from keepers of content into content creators and curators, and seek best practices and efficient workflows with emerging publishing platforms and services. The Library Publishing Toolkit looks at the broad and varied landscape of library publishing through discussions, case studies, and shared resources. From supporting writers and authors in the public library setting to hosting open access journals and books, this collection examines opportunities for libraries to leverage their position and resources to create and provide access to content.
The Library Publishing Toolkit is a project funded partially by Regional Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing Program funds which are administered and supported by the Rochester Regional Library Council. The toolkit is a united effort between Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo and the Monroe County Library System to identify trends in library publishing, seek out best practices to implement and support such programs, and share the best tools and resources. Our goals include to:
Develop strategies libraries can use to identify types of publishing services and content that can be created and curated by libraries.
Assess trends in digital content creation and publishing that can be useful in libraries and suggesting potential future projects.
Identify efficient workflows for distributing content for free online and with potential for some cost-recovery in print on demand markets.
