Abstract:

In spring 2016, the President’s Office at California State University-Fresno (part of the California State University system) offered grant opportunities for academic departments to create a community engagement program for students interested in supporting the Fresno community at large. Known as the Touch the Community project, the program solicited proposals that focused on a community concern and on how to address this issue. Several proposals were selected and funded ($2,000) by the President’s Office for the duration of two academic semesters. Some of these grant projects involved service-learning components: building computer labs, creating ESL programs, and engaging with K–12 students.

Abstract:

The original Assignment Calculator from the University of Minnesota is a free open-source tool which helps students manage time and organize the steps of a research project.1 It provides a schedule and timeline for each step, and includes tips and outside links to more information. The head of instruction and outreach services in the Henry Madden Library recognized the value of this popular tool, but felt we could expand on its potential for students and faculty here at California State University-Fresno. We accomplished this by tailoring it to our own library and campus resources, staff and services, thus making it . . .

Abstract:

A growing body of research points to the positive impact parents can have on their children when they read to them on a regular basis. This includes improved future academic performance as well as the promotion of important social and emotional development skills.The Salt Lake County (UT) Library wanted to better understand the impact a free book program can have on reading frequency. Staff at the county library’s Byington Reading Room put together a thirteen-question survey in both English and Spanish for parents of children receiving a free book. The survey was distributed over a four-week period in the winter of 2018, and 183 surveys were completed by parents visiting the reading room.

Abstract:

Abstract RTKLIB which is an open source Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) software has gained rapid acceptance among Surveying professionals thanks to recent developments in UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) technology. RTKLIB enables standard and precise point positioning (PPP) in real-time and post-processing modes to be performed. As such, UAS users utilize this software to analyze GNSS data collected by GNSS systems on UAS. By being versatile and free, RTKLIB is commonly used by many; however, it is not the only freely available GNSS software. There are also freely available online GNSS data processing software running on servers. These online GNSS data processing services provide data processing in static, kinematic and rapid static modes. Because UAS collect data in kinematic mode, in this study, kinematic data processing by aforementioned software (CSRS-PPP, GAPS and APPS) is analyzed. The results coming from these software are compared against the results produced by photogrammetric software (Agisoft Metashape and Pix4Dmapper). The aim of this practical project is to produce generalizable knowledge about the performance of these software. It is found out that RTKLIB and CSRS-PPP achieved cm-level precision. Yet, GAPS and APPS achieved dm-level precision both for horizontal and vertical coordinates. This study demonstrates the precision and accuracy expected from these software if they are used for kinematic GNSS data processing.

Abstract:

Background: In 2020 the Health Science Center Libraries (HSCL) at the University of Florida collaborated with the Okeechobee County Public library (OCPL) on their plan to install Little Free Libraries (LFLs) within their community. It was agreed that the HSCL would provide consumer health-related materials for the Little Free Libraries and training with the goal of improving health literacy, precision medicine, and increasing rural access to consumer health materials and services. Case Presentation: Using census data, the County Health Improvement Plan, and OCPL circulation data the team identified minority population groups, potential accessibility issues, and local consumer health information needs and barriers to select appropriate resources. Additionally, partnerships were created with the local Health Department, Parks and Recreation services, the Rotary Club, and other local organizations to make the project a success. A total of 424 books were selected for the LFLs and 40 unique online resources were selected, printed, and shipped to OCPL to be used during LFL reference sessions. Technology was purchased to assist OCPL with their planned community health reference outreach sessions. HSCL created and provided online training on facilitating consumer health outreach, conducting health information reference services, and promoting community engagement for OCPL. Discussion: LFLs have become an important resource for lower-income rural families in Okeechobee. There are 7 LFLs in Okeechobee County, with a goal of eventually establishing 15 total to provide vital health resources and books. Over 2,456 items have been circulated among the 7 LFLs since May 2020. Overall, the project has been successful with positive feedback received from the community and with OCPL planning to continue to expand the project.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe how the Hudson County Community College Library hosted a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Tournament as part of its Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 programming, and discuss what it learned from hosting the event. Design/methodology/approach This paper details how a community college library planned, hosted and learned from its experience running a Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U Tournament. It will also describe how the library continued to use this experience to plan additional video game-based programming. Findings The Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U Tournament was generally well received by student attendees. However, student feedback revealed a preference for less-competitive “friendly” events instead of tournaments. Students also requested the option of having several games available instead of one. Originality/value Thus far, there has been little research on academic or community college libraries organizing video game-based programming and activities event. There have also been few studies about whether gaming events work better in libraries as tournaments or “free play” activities.

Abstract:

Information centers play a very crucial role in ensuring that the community has access to the right information to suit its various information needs evidenced by several research carried out on information centers. The rolling out of Free Primary Education (FPE) in Kenya, in January 2003 led to overwhelming increase in primary school enrollment. This exerted pressure on educational facilities and created new challenges including inadequate information material for educational purposes. Community information centers whose role is to provide information services and resources to their respective communities have therefore an important role to play including provision of information services to supplement what the schools in these areas have including giving specific services and resources aimed at enhancing the performance of those pupils doing exams. Thus, this study purposed to assess provision of services and resources at Kimilili Community Library in Bungoma, Kenya for enhancing the performance of class 8 pupils. The study assessed the services and policies, available resources and the challenges encountered. The study was anchored on S. R. Ranganathan's laws of library science and Piage. Descriptive research design was used, and questionnaires and interview schedules were employed in data collection from 84 pupils, 2 librarians and 2 Ministry of Education officers. The study used statistical package for social science (SPSS), version 1.0 2023 for data analysis. The findings are presented in tables. The study established that Kimilili Community Library has various information resources including textbooks, novels, and atlases some in print and others in digital formats. If well utilized these resources would enhance the performance of class 8 pupils. The library also provides various services to pupils, including organized library visits and information literacy.

Abstract:

Purpose This last edition of the column begins with the disadvantages of sleeping in the library and ends with 60-year-old overdue loans, but in between are alternate ways of using different technology to access information! Design/methodology/approach Sleeping in the library is trending on the internet, not because it is a nice pastime, but because it is one of the most viral trends of the year. Findings The real advice is that falling asleep in public places such as libraries is not good. A lot of wild reactions to the picture of a girl sleeping in a university library has caused all sorts, as “photo-shoppers”have had a field day, putting the sleeper in all sorts of situations – in Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video, dancing with Michael Jackson and more. Social implications Derrick Lewis on 26th August reported that an Orange County library had made wi-fi devices available for rural internet users. Originality/value It is helping rural families make faster connections, and it is free to try the device which can be borrowed for 3 weeks and renewed twice if no one else has booked to use it.

Abstract:

Two interactive pruning televideoconferences were produced, each comprised of videotaped segments and in-studio pruning demonstrations. In the first televised conference, viewers received step-by-step instructions for pruning four small and tree fruits. Twelve woody ornamentals were pruned in the second conference. The “how-to-prune” segments were performed by Extension personnel and videotaped by University Electronic and Photographic Services. Each of the 2-hour conferences was broadcast live from a classroom television studio with a total of 30 in-studio participants and 178 county extension agents, Master Gardeners, and residents at downlink sites statewide. A toll-free number was available throughout the conference to encourage two-way communication. These televideoconferences culminated in the creation of a library of “how to prune” videotapes, which are available to county agents, Master Gardeners, or residents. Also, several of these segments were aired on C.U.E. Magazine, a monthly, half-hour Extension-sponsored cable television program, and on Making It Grow!, a bimonthly, hour-long Clemson Extension program that is broadcast on SC-Educational Television.

Library circulation service and cataloguing are the major duties of teacher-librarians, and the library Online Public Access Catalogue（OPAC）plays an important role for expanding reader service. This research focuses on reducing the workload of teacher- librarians; moreover an intergated system structure which contains all routine of library operation is proposed. In order to process automating catalogue in a short time is suggested here. The system structure of book cataloguing agent mentioned here uses both National Bibliographic Information Network（NBIT）and Wenkiang Bibliographic Information Network（WBIT）as cataloguing data source. The reduction of cataloging efforts is one of our major purposes in this study. The existing servers equipped for junior high or elementary schools in Yunlin County could be applied to store book data and consequently increase utility rate. To reduce the squander of education resource is our another concern. We apply the SSL protocol as an encryption device for both browser and JAVA application. The encryption device serves as the safeguard for protecting reader''s personal information. It is hoped the JAVA language（with cross platform characteristic） and free software（such as php ,openSSL, FreeBSD and so on）adopted in this study would help to construct an effective library system which can take care both concerns regarding finance and security.

Abstract:

The Johnson County Library Makerspace occupies 1700 ft2 (158 m2) of space in the Central Resource Library in Johnson County, Kansas. Originally intended as a modernization of the small business services resource area within the library, the vision for the space quickly pivoted towards a community-based educational experience centered on making. In its original form, the space had one 3D printer and an idea to create a series of summer, mobile maker experiences dispersed amongst the 13 branch libraries. The widely popular mobile makerspace program paved the way to a permanent space for library patrons young and old. The space adheres to the central mission of the library to provide educational experiences for the public. Accordingly, the library has democratized creativity and innovation by providing free access to the equipment and information to the public. The space has reached out to incarcerated youth to inspire them to take up making and use it as a way to build job skills. In addition, the space provides patrons with a pathway to connect and form learning communities around making skills and interest. This chapter explores the Johnson County Library Makerspace.
