    Library Commons Assessment Report
    (2013-01) Frank, Jacqueline; Hansen, Mary Anne; Hodges, Mike; Strittmatter, Connie; Zauha, Janelle
    The focus of this report is to assess how the summer 2011 renovation of the first floor of Renne Library into a Library Commons has impacted users, library staff, and library services, and, when possible, to gather information about further needs and directions for the area. The Commons opened in late August 2011 and data gathering took place between April and December of 2012 but focused on use of the Library from August 2011 through August 2012.

    E-book MARC records: do they make the mark?
    (UKSG, 2009-11) Rossmann, Doralyn; Foster, Amy; Babbitt, Elizabeth
    The rapidly growing market in e-books and the options for library acquisition of these materials lead to questions regarding access. Because MARC records increase use of e-books, and some vendors provide MARC records along with e-book purchases, many libraries use their library catalogues as a conduit to e-books. This article explores the challenges associated with these records. Consider ation is given to the quality of information provided by vendors, user expectations and experiences, and cataloguing workload in today's libraries. The authors seek to educate librarians about the issues associated with e-book MARC records, to empower them with questions to ask of vendors regarding this data, and to encourage them to weigh the costs and benefits associated with using this free information.
