For the one-hour student orientations at the Chemistry & Chemical Engineering Library:

  • I wrote a library guidebook explaining how to use the library and the reasons for it.  Additionally, the guide outlines the chemical information resources available – with flow charts for finding these sources.
  • Because details on library use is available via the guidebook, more class time was granted for an ice breaker game (human bingo) and a discussion on tips for academic success at Berkeley.
  • To reinforce student learning, an online library quiz was developed where participants had a chance of winning a $50 gift certificate to the Cal Student Store.

Dates and attendance

  • August 18 – 34 Chemistry graduate students (1 hour)
  • August 20 – 18 Chemical Engineering graduate students (1 hour)
  • August 23 – 22 Chemistry and Chemical Engineering undergraduate transfer students (1 hour)
  • August 24 – 23 Chemistry graduate students (1 hour)

Orientation materials available at:

PURPOSE: Provide a presentation to LBNL Library introducing UC-eLinks -the University of California’s SFX link resolver service.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

  1. The purpose of link resolvers is to connect readers from citations to full-text materials in an automated fashion.
  2. UC-eLinks guides readers to full-text access via different pathways, including the following actions:
    • directing readers to electronic, full-text materials;
    • searching library catalogs for the availability of resources; and
    • initiating interlibrary loan requests.
  3. Beginning with a citation source, the UC-eLinks workflow continues through OpenURLs, link resolver processes, and user selection of services before opening the final target.
  4. The installation and development of UC-eLinks is overseen by the California Digital Library and co-managed by UC campus libraries.
  5. LBNL Library has several options for developing link resolver services, so a decision-making and planning framework is proposed that outlines the benefits and limitations of each option.

PURPOSE: To develop a protocol for interviewing scientists about their library and information needs.

TYPE: Qualitative research methodology for semi-structured interviews conducted in-person.

AUDIENCE: Liaison librarians

METHODS: Reviewed studies examining the information behavior of scientists.  Developed a concept map of scientific research objectives, associated information activities, and supportive resources and services.  The participant’s evaluation of the concept map forms the basis of the interview.
