The College Library at the turn of the (20th) Century
La Crosse Center A2


Pete Gilbert, Director, Seeley G. Mudd Library, Lawrence University

The library: “Arranged with taste, preserved with neatness, and classified with order.”
The librarian: “Affable, accommodating and possessed of all knowledge.”
The students: “have access to the Library, once a week, either on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays, subject to the following Regulations.”  Sounds like it could be today – but it’s actually 1890. Harken back to the turn of an altogether different century.
Sponsors: Wisconsin Association of Academic Librarians, Library Research Round Table


Gaming: What It Means for Information Literacy
La Crosse Center E1


Kurt Squire, Ph.D. , Assistant Professor, Curriculum and Instruction, UW-Madison; Constance Steinkuehler, Assistant Professor, Curriculum and Instruction, UW-Madison

Dr. Squire and Professor Steinkuehler will describe how players of massive multiplayer online games practice information literacy skills in a rich, ever changing social environment. The role of the Internet in the lives of gamers (and others) as both a tool to locate information and a place to gain new experiences has also been revealed as part of their research.

Librarians & Activism: Past and Present
La Crosse Center E2


Michele Besant, Director, UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies Laboratory Library; Dr. Louise S. Robbins, Professor and Director, UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies; Terry Ross, Recent Graduate, UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies

The history of librarianship provides many examples of librarian activists and social change agents. At the same time the argument can be made that we usually perpetuate the status quo. The panel will offer a brief overview of the tensions in our literature, historical research, and conversation among library school students as background for a discussion of our role today. Join us to share stories, struggles, and hopes.

The Dewey Deci-Belles are a trio of youth services librarians who believe, “heart and soul,” that the joy of music is an end in itself. They will talk about how science supports what we know intuitively: that besides being pure fun, music links us together and enhances children’s physical, social, and emotional growth. After “tell” comes “show:” a hands-on, hand-clapping sing-along. Percussion instruments provided! One lucky participant will win our specially prepared Emergency Story Kit!

The Water is Wide: Training Catalogers

La Crosse Center A1


Janet Swan Hill, Associate Director for Technical Services, University of Colorado Libraries, Boulder

Today’s graduate programs in Library and Information Science (LIS) offer a curriculum that is broader than it is deep, and the waters of bibliographic control are especially shallow. Most new librarians emerge from their programs with only the barest of introductions to cataloguing. This session will include consideration of what a new librarian is likely to know, factors affecting the need for training and strategies for providing it, and areas for action within the profession.

We Have to Start Meeting Like This: Video Distance Learning for Public Libraries Handout
La Crosse Center C

The new Badgernet model offers lower cost options that increase opportunities for video conferencing and distance learning in public libraries and systems throughout Wisconsin. This program will describe what it is, what it does, what it costs, and how to plan for these services.

Where Have All the Journals Gone? UW-Madison’s Response to High Priced Subscriptions
La Crosse Center E2


Jean Gilbertson, Director, UW-Madison Steenbock Library; Jeanne Witte, Head of Access Services, UW-Madison Steenbock Library; Rachel Watters, Wisconsin TechSearch Librarian, UW-Madison Wendt Library

This program will present data from a UW-Madison Libraries pilot project: subscriptions to selected Wiley and Elsevier journal titles were cancelled, but access to those journals was still available to UW-Madison patrons, due to the library purchasing articles from the publisher’s web site. As subscription prices soar and library budgets shrink, this project is an experiment to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing articles as needed from the publisher rather than through journal subscriptions.

A Writer’s Obligation to the Story: Checking for Hemlock on Sand Island
Jacqueline Briggs Martin, Author

Writers tell the stories of characters and places they care about, some from our shared world and some from the writer’s imagination. In both cases, writers owe it to the story to search for the words that carry the writer’s passion to readers, and to be sure the details they include (such as the hemlock trees) are correct. Join Jacqueline Briggs Martin as she shares some of the detours on the paths into these stories.
