The Digital Arts Bookshelf: eBooks and eJournals in Art Libraries

Thursday, July 21, 2011 | 11am Pacific - 12pm Mountain - 1pm Central - 2pm Eastern

In this webinar, two librarians will explore the rapidly changing landscape of Ebooks and Ejournals in the arts and design disciplines and its impact on collection development. Sarah Falls, Director of the Library at the New York School of Interior Design will discuss the nature of individual selection of electronic titles and the integration of Ebooks into the catalog of an Arts and Design School Library. Stephanie Frontz, Art Librarian, University of Rochester, will discuss the increasingly complex issues of copyright and image access in electronic journals.

Innovative Applications for Instructive Outreach - Best Practices for LibGuides and Online Pathfinders

Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Presenters: Nedda Ahmed, Georgia State University & Jill Luedke, Temple University

This webinar will give you guidance on advancing the usability of online pathfinders such as LibGuides. You will learn best practices for layout, content and access, experiment with software to tweak your guides, collaborate and communicate with your peers and walk away with a "toolkit of ideas and resources."

The workshop is designed to help folks make their LibGuides better. It is an abbreviated version of the 4 hour workshop held in Boston. People who sign up should have a basic understanding of LibGuides and how to use the LibGuides system. If your institution is using a different system for managing web content, much of the information in the workshop will still be useful.
