  1. Creation of a Preservation LibGuide Tai Arakawa Brennan Ogawa LIS 672 Dr. Quiroga May 10, 2012

  2. Initial Steps: Summary & Background • Meet with project mentor and class instructor • Preservation technician • Discuss goal of the project/needs of the mentor • Preservation Week record • Brainstorm ways of fulfilling the need • Website • LibGuide

  3. What is a LibGuide • UHM Libraries subscribe to Springshare • Software from Springshare • LibGuides are hosted by Springshare

  4. LibGuides cont’d… • Pre-formatted template • Provides users with a set of options they can choose from • Selection of color schemes • No HTML or CSS experience needed

  5. Data Collection: Circulation • Interviews: Jan Sung, Access Services; Nackil Sung, Innovation Librarian; Access Services student workers • Documents: internal Access Services memo • Websites: Princeton Libraries Circulation Policy • Observation

  6. Data Collection: Preservation • Interviews: Debbie Dunn, Conservation Technician, Collections Managers, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art • LIS620, course projects • Preservation Websites: LOC, NEDCC, NPS, ALA, etc.

  7. Data Analysis Circulation Preservation Benchmarking Alternative Presentation Picture, Video based Positive, Insightful General Resource • Article/document analysis • Better to inform library users on policies than employing punishment/reward system • Process of deciding what goes to Preservation and how to handle items • Other LibGuides for format ideas

  8. Needs Assessment • Platform for Preservation Week • Design for proper care and management • Online Resource • Greater Visibility • Multimedia (video demonstrations) • User Friendly Site, fun and inviting • Low cost, little maintenance

  9. System Selection: C.B.A. Website Pro’s Con’s Need to know HTML coding at the very least Creators Future maintainers Consistent, navigable design Annual Preservation Week activities • More freedom of design and color scheme than a LibGuide

  10. C.B.A. Facebook Pro’s Con’s Redundancy Pre-Fabricated Template Permanent Account Control/ Owner Work beyond end of semester • Ease to Create and Maintain • Customization • Free • Pre-Fabricated Template • Update status • Add multimedia • Reach 500+ million people

  11. C.B.A. Flickr Pro’s Con’s Time constraints More experience needed with Flickr and blog option Not a text based resource • Great exposure • Post pictures • Easy and Free • Explain demonstrations through pictures • Create Tags • Reach younger audience

  12. Other Factors to Consider • Pre-set place to host a LibGuide • Creating one is easy • Permission and administrator privileges from the Innovation Librarian • Costs factored into the general Springshare subscription • Maintenance cost in terms of time and effort for a LibGuide is relatively low • Basic computer/internet knowledge

  13. Implementation: Plan and Product • Publish, and hand over control • Add on Preservation and Circulation Information • Off shoot projects, such as Flickr and Facebook • Demonstrations, new pages • Take a Tour

  14. Limitations • Time restraints for conducting a survey, limited members and resources • Option to add survey on LibGuide • Potential Questions: • Did you know the library has a policy for the condition books should be returned in? • Do you know the right way of taking a book off a shelf? • Should you try to repair a torn page yourself?
