Item What’s New in Resource Sharing and ILLs?(2017-10-28) Thoulag, Jean; Chow, NaomiWhat do TIPASA, OCLC, GWLA, IDS, RapidILL, NWILL, OA Button, OAFndr, and SHAPES have in common? This session is all about the latest trends and developments in interlibrary loans and resource sharing, automated document delivery programs, regional ILL consortia partners, free open access document searching and delivery programs, and an innovative repository for sharing 3-D objects files.Item Using Data and Analytics in Access Services to Direct Change for Sustainable Services(2017-10-27) Thoulag, Jean; Allen, Fred; Bowman, DavidLibraries routinely collect all kinds of data about access and circulation services — gate counts, circulation counts, overdue books, fines paid, missing and lost books, room reservations, desk service interactions, etc. How can this data be retrieved, analyzed, and used to inform and direct changes for improved and sustainable services? This presentation shares practical experiences in using a library’s data and reports to pose questions about access and circulation services. What questions should we consider asking? What can data tell us about our service and work? What kind of reports can we request and how do we get the information and reports? Although the experiences shared are from an academic library setting, the presenters will share how topics and methods can be adapted to other library settings.Item Toddler Time and Beyond: Creating Programs for Our Youngest Patrons(2017-10-28) Todd, DaniellePrograms specifically designed for infants and toddlers based on the early literacy research of Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR2) are a growing trend in public libraries. Research shows that the five principles of ECRR2 (talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing) greatly increase children’s pre-reading and school readiness skills. With the library’s already hectic programming schedule, incorporating ECRR2 can seem like a daunting task. Between staffing shortages, limited budgets, and the intimidation factor of working with infants, where do you start?Item Thinking Beyond the Book: Circulating Non-Traditional Materials(2017-10-27) Healey, Meri; Scheffer, RebekahThe Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi Library circulates a wide range of items in addition to traditional media items, from robots and Raspberry Pis to specialty cake pans and jewelry making kits. Learn how one library incorporates non-traditional items into its collection, best practices for circulating the materials, and how items are chosen and justified. Participants will walk away with enhanced understanding of the variety of items that libraries can circulate, innovative ways to promote and justify circulating non-traditional items, and best practices for managing non-traditional collections.Item Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi: Making History Accessible(2017-10-28) Kurahara, JaneLearn how volunteer librarians and teachers at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaiʻi have produced a wealth of resources about the internment experiences of Japanese Americans in Hawaiʻi during World War II that is now available to schools and the public throughout the state. These free resources include curriculum units, resource folders, videos, and more. Exchange ideas about the best ways to use these resources and suggest ways to increase access to these materials.Item Sustainable Curriculum: Teaching Digital Literacy Through Movie-Making(2017-10-28) Oshiro, LaurelDigital storytelling is an essential skill for every student to have. From conducting online research to collaboration to production, students learn how to effectively utilize technology so they are more than just consumers of information and become producers. Uploading content to social media has never been easier but, as school library media specialists, we play a vital role in educating students on how to effectively and ethically use technology to make the world a better place. I will be teaching you how to use movie-making as an effective method for promoting digital literacy.Item Sustaining School Libraries Through Curriculum Sharing(2017-10-28) Garud, MeeraWith so much to do each day, it can be challenging for school librarians to develop a year-long library curriculum alone. However, there is so much we can learn and offer one another here in Hawaiʻi. I will share initial findings from comparing library curricula across Department of Education schools and introduce ideas for a searchable library lesson plan database. This session aims to revitalize veteran school librarians to share their knowledge and give hope to new school librarians.Item Sustaining Digital Cultural Heritage Through Culturally Responsive Content Management(2017-10-27) Holton, GaryJoin us for a fun and informative session exploring options for sustaining digital cultural heritage. We will describe a number of content management options, focusing on the Mukurtu CMS, a free content management software that allows communities to preserve, share, manage, license, and curate their digital heritage and stories. Mukurtu promotes a community approach to digital heritage management and preservation, integrating already established social and cultural systems with technological tools. In this session, participants will get hands-on experience with Mukurtu CMS, including: 1) basic site set up 2) core features, and 3) procedures to curate digital heritage items with Mukurtu CMS. Participants will see examples of Mukurtu in use in communities emphasizing sustainable preservation strategies, cultural protocols, and the use of traditional knowledge labels. Participants will also be introduced to the IMLS-funded Kaipumakani Project, which is providing resources and support for digital cultural heritage preservation in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.Item Sustaining Books and Papers in Hawaiʻi’s Environment(2017-10-27) Van Heukelem, MaliaHawaiʻi’s climate provides many challenges for preserving books and papers.

And if they are possible, what strategies can we use to thrive in the future?Item Persistence of Institutional Memory(2017-10-27) Kellett, Carol; Sinclair, GwenInstitutional memory needs to be recorded so that current library staff can understand the history and peculiarities of library processes and procedures. This session will explain what types of policies and practices should be recorded for posterity. Participants will receive a form to help guide documentation of practices and procedures of the past. We hope that you will be inspired to sit down with the old-timers in your library and hear how it was done in the old days!Item Papāhanaumokuākea: New Frontiers for Exploration and Conservation(2017-10-28) Kosaki, RandallItem Moving Forward by Giving Back: How the UHWO Library Created Bridges to On and Off Campus Communities by Implementing 3 Different Outreach Programs(2017-10-28) Joseph, Michiko; Chernisky, CarinaWhat are you doing, on a professional level, to give back to others? What resources are at your disposal? What change do you want to see on your campus and/or in your community? What partners can assist you in achieving your goals? Our presentation highlights three different outreach programs recently implemented by our University of Hawaiʻi–West Oʻahu Library and is intended to inspire you to create programs that address the unique needs of your communities. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every attendee leaves the presentation ready to enact positive, sustainable change at their own libraries. Why is outreach important to us? We believe that it benefits our on and off campus communities, provides our Library staff with a greater sense of purpose and helps them to develop professionally, and exercises the Library’s "capacity to endure." By exercising our "capacity to endure," we are building a solid foundation that protects the future of our Library, our students, our employees, and our surrounding communities.Item Join Me on the Titanic!
