Abstract This paper will use circulation data to explore usage trends for physical textbooks in an academic library over a sustained period of time. Conclusions will be drawn from the analysis to determine the usefulness of aging physical textbook collections in academic libraries and inform recommendations for efficient models of lending and management.

Abstract During the Fall 2017 semester, staff at the Hudson County Community College (HCCC), Library began to notice that many books listed as available in the catalog were often not being found on the shelves when patrons attempted to retrieve them. This situation puzzled library leadership because HCCC had recently conducted an inventory and removed all missing items from its holdings. To determine the cause of this discrepancy, HCCC staff decided to sample the library’s collection to determine if books were available at the expected locations. From this, the library found that a high percentage of its books were not present where they were expected to be. In response, library staff implemented a variety of changes to HCCC’s shelving and access services operations.

Abstract The University of Louisville’s Ekstrom Library needed to remove 260,000 items from its shelves, and shift a further 95,000 within an extremely short deadline ahead of plans to redesign its third floor into an inviting, modern, student-friendly space for patrons to enjoy. The move faced three distinct challenges: space, item tracking, and sufficient personnel to complete the project. Although the project finished ahead of schedule, things did not go as smoothly as planned. OPAC issues and lack of sufficient storage space forced the Committee to readjust plans on the fly, resulting in issues that could possibly take years to fix.

Abstract Discriminations against members of the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer (LGBTQ) community havebeen reported in every sphere of life, including in libraries. This paper reviewed the literature on transgender studies particularly in relation to the role of libraries. It highlights the problems faced by transgender people in accessing information in libraries and the importance of making libraries more inclusive.

The Grounded Instruction Librarian: Participating in The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, published by the Association of College and Research Libraries in July 2019, explicitly recognizes the deep connections between the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and the scholarly work of librarians. The book demonstrates the range of connections supporting and strengthening librarians’ contributions to teaching, learning, and research across higher education. Those librarians looking to more deeply connect their instruction to the broader conversations occurring within SoTL will find many practical and theoretical insights in this text. SoTL is a growing discipline dedicated to the serious intellectual work of teaching and learning, where learning spaces are treated as sites for inquiry and innovation. Student learning, teaching practices, theories, and instruction programs across colleges and universities are critically examined in order to improve outcomes. SoTL research is often interdisciplinary and is currently practiced around the world across many different fields. Margy MacMillan, in her forward to the text, explains, “SoTL provides an useful framework and communities of practice in which to rethink academic librarianship... SoTL can be a meaningful pathway for both developments of the individual professional and the profession as a whole” (ix, 2019). The editors of this volume bring a wealth of experience to the topic. Melissa Mallon is the director of the Peabody Library and the director of teaching and learning at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Lauren Hays has a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and is an Assistant Professor of Instructional Technology at the University of Central Missouri. Cara Bradley is the Research & Scholarship Librarian at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada, where her primary responsibility is supporting graduate student and faculty research. Rhonda Huisman is the University Library Dean at St. Cloud State University where she oversees strategic planning, library instruction, collections, and space as well as staffing, professional development, and outreach. Jackie Belanger is the director of assessment and planning at the University of Washington Libraries, where she leads assessments designed to improve Libraries services, resources, and spaces for user communities. The authors and editors of this volume argue that SoTL can assist librarians to:
