Since their inception in the health sciences field, systematic reviews have expanded into many other subject disciplines. To address this growing need, subject librarians at the University of Maryland Libraries collaborated on a pilot program in three phases to introduce researchers to the process of conducting systematic and scoping reviews. This article describes the design and development of a workshop series based on participant feedback. Assessment and evaluation techniques are shared to encourage further refinement of the systematic review service.

Digital communication technologies have dramatically changed the ways in which scholarship is accessed, discussed, and shared. Joining the traditional journals and manuscripts are new ways to distribute and consume research, including blogs, podcasts, white papers, and more. There is more information available and more ways to access it than ever before, which presents new sets of challenges and opportunities. PressForward is free, open-source software that responds to these needs by combining the features of content aggregation, discussion, and publication into a single, user-friendly dashboard. Acknowledging that collaboration and networking is increasingly important in research development and funding, PressForward has built-in, flexible user roles and workflows that allow communities of any scale to contribute in multiple ways. This article will review the history and features of PressForward, as well as describe the community partnerships that both utilize the software and influence the progress of the project. Introduction The 21st century is an exciting time to be part of a research endeavor. Information moves at the speed of light, scholarship is being produced at rates far greater than ever before, and networking with peers has become one of the most important elements of scholarly communication.1,2 The “Age of Information” is a time of wonders, but all of these monumental strides introduce new questions and tensions between tradition and innovation. Whether he or she likes it or not, every scholar participates in ongoing conversations in at least two separate arenas: their own discipline as well as scholarly communication processes generally. Reading and publishing the research in one’s field is a form of participation. The venues and methods that all researchers choose for those exchanges shapes the nature of the scholarly communication landscape with which they engage. These are the reasons that motivated the development of PressForward, a software solution for the discovery and sharing of scholarship online. While the volume and breadth of information available online continues to explode, scholarly communities seek ways to efficiently facilitate content filtering, contextualization, and conversation. PressForward is an open-source plugin for the WordPress content management system that responds to these needs by combining the features of content aggregation, discussion, collaboration, and publication into a single, userfriendly dashboard. The creation of the software and its features are irrevocably tied to a perpetual iteration of research and collaboration. Developing a scholarly communications platform requires a thorough understanding of not only the technology upon which it is built, but also of the manners of the communities that will benefit from its application.

Library professionals are facing the same increasing pervasiveness of technology as other professions. Technology gives librarians positive new tools for managing and delivering information, but also changes modes of communication and collaboration with our patrons. This qualitative study explores the connection between the influx of virtual communication and its impact on collaboration and job satisfaction among academic librarians.

The Columbia and Cornell University Libraries’ partnership (2CUL) is now in its fifth year. Its composite acronym (2CUL), which condenses a doubling of the two participating libraries’ initial letters, summarizes both vision and mission: a broad integration of library activities in a number of areas – including collection development, acquisitions and cataloging, e-resources and digital management, and digital preservation, and reciprocal onsite use of collections. A key component of the partnership is 2CUL Technical Services Integration (TSI), an initiative funded by a generous three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to plan for the merger of technical services operations. The authors reported on the first phase of this project last year in this forum (Kate Harcourt and Jim LeBlanc, “Planning from the Middle Out: Phase 1 of 2CUL Technical Services Integration,” Collaborative Librarianship 6:1 (2014)). In this paper, they draw on the existing literature on collaboration, both within libraries and beyond, to report and reflect on the second phase of the TSI project and, in particular, the decision to reconceive TSI as an evolving set of mutually beneficial initiatives rather than a more comprehensive administrative integration of technical services operations. The period covered in this article is December 2013-December 2014.

The Columbia and Cornell University Libraries’ partnership is now in its fourth year. Its composite acro-nym (2CUL), which condenses a doubling of the two participating libraries’ initial letters, in itself reflects the very nature of the collaboration’s strategic purpose: a broad integration of library activities in a number of areas – including collection development, acquisitions and cataloging, e-resources and digital management, and digital preservation. In what is perhaps their boldest, most ambitious 2CUL initiative to date, the two libraries have begun planning for and have taken the first steps towards an integration of their substantial technical services operations. In this paper, the authors outline the goals of 2CUL Technical Services Integration (TSI), report on the first phase of the work, reflect on what they have learned so far in planning for this operational union, and look forward to the next steps of the project in which the two institutions will initiate incrementally the functional integration of the two divisions. The period covered in Phase 1 of TSI is September 2012-December 2013.

Adrienne Matthews and Alison, both read the Spring 2013 call for students to participate in a San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) independent study project, and were intrigued. Lecturer Laurie Putnam sought help researching and writing for the LIS Publications Wiki, an interactive tool that details information about publications LIS students and professionals can consider writing for. The only things the two students had in common were their love of writing and editing, and the moxie to apply for independent study to work on a website that neither had ever heard of. Accepted to work on the project, Alison and Adrienne were e-introduced, and began to develop a wonderful working relationship and friendship.

This article discusses a successful collaboration between multiple subject specialist librarians, the Univer-sity Archivist and a faculty member teaching an undergraduate course in documents-based social science research. This collaborative partnership allowed for each subject specialist to expose students to specific information literacy skills they needed to be successful in their class. The authors used pre- and post-assessments to gauge student comfort level in conducting library research, as well as a rubric to assess the annotated bibliography of a student’s final research paper. The data from these assessment tools are ana-lyzed and the results discussed. The data indicates that students benefited from the specialized instruction they received.

In order for academic libraries to continue to demonstrate their value in an age of accountability, developing strong collaborations is essential. Collaborations provide a first rate opportunity for librarians not only to demonstrate their value to the institution and the research practices of the faculty but to facilitate teaching students how to navigate an increasingly diverse and at times confusing information environment driven by access to several technologies. For students entering college, learning early how to navigate the library and its resources can become an important element to their academic success. Inclusion of the library faculty into the development and teaching modules of student orientations and first year seminars, such as the ones designed at the Bronx Community College of the City of New York, provide a great step in establishing our value in promoting retention and graduation.

Collaborative activities that reflect ‘ethnicity as provenance’ benefit from collaborative, interdependent relationships among archives, classroom, and community. Examples from Center for Colorado & the West at Auraria Library (University of Colorado Denver) and the Southern Colorado Ethnic Heritage and Diversity Archives and the Voices of Protest Oral History Project (Colorado State University-Pueblo) illustrate collection development practices that advance joint ownership of archival materials by the archives and the originating cultural population. Concluding reflections offer transferable principles for working collaboratively with cultural communities on creation, identification, interpretation, and preservation of photographs, videos, documents, oral histories and ephemeral material reflective of culture, achievements, conflict, and legacy.
