Description

Product Description In this third volume of the series, Cutting-Edge Research in the 21st-Century Academic Library explores examples of exciting new library services and workflows for the library profession to model and adapt for their own communities and patrons. Included are studies that combine data mining and business intelligence metrics to predict future trends and behaviors; an examination of new services related to the proliferation of mobile devices among patrons; studies devoted to the employment of the Web and the relation of the library's Web site to its environment and the use of a web content strategist in the design of the library site. New technologies are also considered: one chapter provides step-by-step guidelines for producing videos that can be used by the academic library for marketing, instruction, navigation, and reaching patrons in social media sites; another chapter provides a fairly comprehensive and detailed report for incorporating mobile information technologies in libraries. Overviews are provided for how to manage electronic resources in a digital campus environment and how they affect organizational structure, workflows, and training. Finally, the concept of linked open data (LOD) is presented and how it has transformed library workflows, staff expertise, and traditional metadata creation. All of these examples of futuristic and exciting new library services and workflows provide opportunities and experiences that the rest of the library profession can model and adapt for their own particular communities and patrons. Review [The book is] timely, useful, and well-researched. . . .Also especially strong are the three chapters at the end of the book, all of which are from a technical services perspective. These chapters could easily form the core of a foundational text on e-resources management and linked open data and would be particularly useful to technical services managers who are looking to build their team's competencies to handle these new workflows. . . .Academic library administrators, technical services managers, and library science faculty and students will find this book to be valuable in providing a broad overview of emerging trends and services. This book would be very much at home in any library that supports a library science curriculum.--Technical Services Quarterly About the Author Bradford Lee Eden is Dean of Library Services at Valparaiso University.
