Critique of the Thomas Nelson Community College Library The Library/Learning Resource Center is multi-faceted offering students a wide range of tools and informational materials needed to be successful in their academic endeavors. The Library/Learning Resource Center provides students with knowledgeable staff and faculty, easily accessible educational materials, Instructional technologies and support services to aid and enhance the overall experience of the student. The evaluation of Thomas Nelson Community College Library, Learning Center and Technology Services is to discern the degree of access, ease of use and the depth of the experience; it is meant to be delivered to students, staff, faculty and in certain areas the community at large
I was offered to stay at the university during breaks and summer semesters to continually work for the library. During these times I became acquainted with the library when students were not roaming the rooms. I learned about the periodicals room and the time frame that each journal should be kept. The director of the library came to me personally in helping to assist him with weeding the library’s collection. While weeding the collection I learned about the importance in maintaining a library’s collection to be beneficial for the audience and the significance in having newer material.
According to The New York Times’ article entitled “Reinventing the Library”, libraries are considered to be “the clinic of the soul”. The library is the seen as the main setting
He then continues reviewing the collected data by dividing it into three parts. The first section labeled Americans Attitudes Towards Public Libraries discusses that most people feel that libraries are important to their community and help people decide what information they can trust. The second, Library Usage and Engagement, shows there is an increase in people are coming to the library to attend programs and meetings. The third is labeled A Portrait of Those Who Have Never Been to the Library. It shows that although some Americans do not use the library, they feel that the impact of a library closure would affect the community.
How are the students using textbooks? What are the students learning from these manuals? Which of the students are using the books? How and to what extent are the students using free resources (The national academy of science, 2017)? In the 21st century with the students becoming more computer dependent, it useful choosing material that can be found in soft copies and is internet
Library are being used by the students and the teachers or professors as their source of information. Alemna (2000)
Libraries, whether physical or virtual, all share one common goal: to offer both the resources and services necessary to supply the proper information to their clientele through their collections. Public libraries are a pillar of most communities, big or small; providing information and resources for the average citizen, whether it be for education or leisure purposes. School, college, or university libraries are perfect for the students in their institutions, providing the resources necessary for them to complete their formal educations at their respective levels, while also stimulate their intellectual growth. Medical, corporate, research, legal, cultural, or government, otherwise known as special libraries, provide the resources needed to supply their very specific patrons with the resources and information needed to sit atop their respective fields. Libraries may differ in size, expertise, funding as well as resources, but they’re all cut from the same cloth.
The future of libraries has recently come into question among many Americans. With the increasing use of the internet and ebooks the need for printed books is rapidly decreasing. Due to this, the concept of a library without books is gaining attention. An article, “Will Libraries Exist in the Future? If So, They’ll Be Very Different,” published by Slate discusses the history of libraries as well as their future.
Comparative System Analysis A library must have the ability to develop and adapt to its present community of patrons. The economics of a library’s budget is continuously in fluctuation. Depending on the type of library, a library may only receive funds through donations or possibly through the local government. A larger library such as an academic library may receive funds through the university or from an organization the library works for such as a hospital or research institute.
In essence, teamwork can be defined as a group of people working in the same direction and for a common purpose. Teamwork requires individuals be a team player and to be able to work well with others; after all, there is no “I” in “Team”! As with any endeavour, we faced some initial setbacks. With this being our first college team assignment, we were all treading on unfamiliar territory.
To Whom It May Concern, Due to the increase in customers and the increase in the need to check out books. The Jones Library would like to request an upgrade in our current library management system, also due to the increase of users we are needing to purchase more computers for the users and the staff. The current computer system is out of date and does not have enough space or even the correct software to perform the daily tasks that the staff of the library needs to be able to do their job. Attached is a complete overview of what the current system in the library does and what the library management systems needs to do.
Exploring Information Environment The Association of College and Research Libraries, also known as the ACRL, is a division of the broader American Libraries Association (ALA). This division focuses on representing primarily academic libraries and academic librarians, but also includes support staff, and even those with a vested interest in academic libraries. It is important to note that this association is not an elitist one. All academic libraries and their staffs are given due consideration: “ACRL represents librarians working with all types of academic libraries—community and junior college, college, and university —as well as comprehensive and specialized research libraries and their professional staffs” (ACRL History).The division itself
Library facilities No matter how great a role the internet has come to play, we are still a long way off the point at which having a well stocked library will not be absolutely essential. These are the places where many students will do the vast majority of their actual learning, where they will learn to work independently and develop a passion for their subject.
The author, who has no background in library or information sciences, suggests that it makes fiscal sense to close all libraries and buy everyone an Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription (Worstall, 2014). What Worstall fails to understand, more than likely because he is not an authority on the subject of libraries, information science, or finance for that matter, is that libraries are not just buildings in which to warehouse books. Instead, they are, as Ranganathan states, living organisms. Moreover, libraries are an integral part of the community in which they are situated and provide that community with many services. A reference librarian provides one such service, and it remains as relevant, if not more so, as it has in previous centuries.
