Lib-Value is a 3-year study, beginning December 1, 2009, funded by a grant from IMLS and focusing on value and ROI in academic libraries. The expected outcomes of Lib-Value will include: an ROI calculation made in three test libraries; a method and model for collecting and calculating ROI in other academic libraries; and tested web-based tools for determining ROI that can be used by academic librarians to demonstrate the specific values of their libraries to their funders and to help them prioritize products and services.

NLM's Associate Fellowship Program -2nd year

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) seeks proposals from institutions offering to host a Second Year Associate Fellow for the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. Proposals are due by February 5, 2010.

The Associate Fellowship program is a postgraduate training program for promising health sciences librarians. Fellows spend the first year at the National Library of Medicine, learning about its programs and services and conducting research projects.  The optional Second Year Program allows Associate Fellows to supplement their year at NLM, through an opportunity to observe and practice the organizational, professional, and interpersonal skills that librarians need to successfully integrate information services into health care service, education, and research.  The Host Institution must demonstrate that information services are integrated into the basic functions of the institution and that librarians are full participants in the multidisciplinary teams carrying out these activities. Second-year Fellows will participate in activities appropriate to their interests and the needs of the Host Institution.  The Second Year Fellowship will be for a 12-month period beginning September 1, 2010. There are currently five first year Associate Fellows eligible for a second year placement.

Chapter 4 in Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval, edited by Taylor, Arlene G.

 

An explanation of where FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) comes from, given by a look at the work of librarians such as Panizzi, Cutter, Ranganathan, and Lubzetsky, and an examination of four themes in the history of library cataloging: the use of axioms to explain the purpose of catalogs, the importance of user needs, the idea of the "work," and standardization and internationalization.

African American Song
Online music listening service presenting audio history of African American music, including jazz, blues, gospel, ragtime, folk songs, and narratives, and other forms of African-American musical expression. The collection will eventually include 50,000 music tracks, many of them rare or never-before-published. When complete, the collection will contain recordings by more than 2,300 performers spanning more than a hundred years including Ma Rainey, Lead Belly, Mahalia Jackson, Alberta Hunter, Tampa Red, William 'Bunk' Johnson, Duke Ellington, Sophie Tucker, Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, Sarah Vaughn, Cripple Clarence Lofton, Big Joe Williams, Memphis Jug Band, Roosevelt Sykes, Dizzy Gillespie, Chicago River Kings, Muddy Waters, Skip James, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Alberta Jones, Johnny Shines, and Memphis Minnie, and more. This first release offers access to over 16,000 track from Document Records--the world's largest collection of rare and vintage blues, jazz, gospel, spiritual, boogie-woogie, and country recordings. From the earliest recordings of Afro-American music made in the late 19th century (including the Fisk Jubilee Singers, recorded at the turn of the century for Victor Records) to performances of the mid-1970s, in most instances the full recorded works of each artist are presented. Eventually, African American Song will also deliver online access to the Alan Lomax Collection, a set of international field recordings by folklorist Alan Lomax from the 1930s through the 1960s, including the Jelly Roll Morton series (complete Library of Congress recordings), the Lead Belly series, and great artists and ensembles such as Son House, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Irma Thomas, Bessie Jones, Etta Baker, and the Georgia Sea Island Singers.
