  • “Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

    Creator:
    Stoddart, Richard A.
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

  • Chapter 2: The Consumption and Production of Fisheries Information in the Digital Age

    Creator:
    Webster, Janet G. and Uhlinger, Eleanor
    Abstract:
    Fisheries scientists persistently create, communicate, and use information. In fact, if they did not, there would be no fisheries science. To exist, science must be part of a continuum where shared information, from casual hallway communications to rigorously reviewed articles, documents the questions asked and the solutions suggested. Relevant information...

    Creator:
    Rempel, Hannah Gascho, McElroy, Kelly, and Bridges, Laurie M.
    Abstract:
    Librarians work with students, in K-12, public, and academic library settings, but often have little background preparation in how students’ development impacts their learning.
