Item Share Your Perspective: ADHD in Our Libraries and Profession(2021-12-04) Robertson, Stephanie; Robertson, ThomasADDitude Magazine (n.d.), geared toward individuals with ADHD, rated librarianship as the 5th worst job out of 10 for those with “restless minds and creative spirits.” While some may agree that a profession which traditionally valued quiet and “keeping every Dewey Decimal in its proper place” might not be the best for neurodivergent folks struggling with inattentiveness, others see the structure and dynamic nature of librarianship as an ideal setting. National Resource Center, Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), list distractibility, impulsivity, hyperactivity, poor memory, boredom-blockouts, time management difficulties, procrastination, difficulty managing long-term projects, paperwork/details, and interpersonal/social skill issues being the top workplace issues for adults with ADHD but also offer specific tips to address each issue. In this facilitated discussion, we will discuss ADHD our libraries and/or as librarians with care to not disclose personal information that is not our own, and even then, only at the discretion of each participant with no disclosure preferred over participant comfort. By the end of the discussion, participants will walk away with a better understanding of how to help themselves or co-workers and patrons with ADHD.Item Reimagining Information Literacy Approaches and Services: Considering Faculty Perspective(2021-12-03) Robertson, Stephanie; Falevai, Zoia; DeMartini, BeckyThe pandemic required The Joseph F. Smith Library at BYU–Hawaii to reimagine information literacy approaches and services in order to better serve our faculty and students. This presentation will take participants through the outreach process we developed by tapping into information literacy resources our faculty already had in place and discovering which criteria they admitted to needing the most help with for the benefit of our learners. Through this presentation, participants will be able to apply steps from our outreach process used in informing and creating new information literacy services. Participants will also learn how to integrate best practices for promoting information literacy resources and in addressing faculty reluctance to adopting new materials into their course with ease by meeting them where they are, staying in a perpetual conversation together as lifelong learners, and tapping into what they already have in place as subject-matter experts in their unique disciplines.Item Real World Consequences: Mitigating Health Misinformation(2021-12-02) Spatz, MicheleHealth misinformation has real-world and sometimes tragic consequences. The coronavirus pandemic underscored the importance of knowing which health information resources to trust. This is true not only during a world health crisis but also in the day-to-day need many people have for evidence-based health information to make important personal or family healthcare decisions. When it comes to health information, there is a lot of noise out there but there is also help. This presentation by staff of the Network of the National Library of Medicine defines health misinformation, shares keys to identifying evidence-based health resources; and highlights helpful evidence-based health websites/resources for public libraries.Item Open Educational Resources and Librarianship: Every student their textbook(2021-11-29) Pai, Sunyeen; Ford, JasonSince the 1990s, academics have been working to make scholarly and learning materials openly accessible to all students through open educational resources (OER). One reason is the uncontrolled rise in the cost of textbooks caused by monopolistic price-setting by companies dependent on the work of academics. Believing that education is a right for everyone, these academics have combined expertise and energy to make knowledge more shareable, open to improvement through collaboration, and accessible to a diverse audience. Librarians play a role in this effort and help preserve intellectual freedom by using OER to counter the anti-egalitarian aspects of publishing companies that limit access to information by exponentially increasing textbook costs yearly and restricting information behind paywalls. In the University of Hawaiʻi system, librarians continue to reimagine their services and programs to support all students, but this work in particular supports the economically and socially vulnerable and underserved. We work to make educational materials in which students can see themselves and connect to their inherent possibilities within. This also generates valuable opportunities for self-reflection and professional development for faculty. We will introduce attendees to the history of open educational resources, the impact it has had on education at all levels of society, and how it has changed education at the University of Hawaiʻi. Additionally, we will discuss ways in which interested attendees may include OER in their practice by engaging faculty and stakeholders to become involved in OER to benefit their own careers, students, and society at large.Item NNLM is here to service Micronesia: A Hear and Tell session(2021-12-02) Drake, PaulThe Network of the National Library of Medicine once again is connecting to Micronesia.

History and culture play a huge role in all walks of life and, of course, connect the present to the past. Providing information and literacy on history, culture, customs, art, language, and traditions of the indigenous people of the Northern Mariana Islands and other Pacific islands are our top priority to help teach the next generation and different walks of life the importance of history and cultural heritage. Please join us in exploring The Pacific Room-- its history and its role in the Joeten-Kiyu Public library! BIBA, MARIANAS! BIBA, LITERACY! BIBA, LIBRARY!Item Mookini Library Tutorials: Enhancing the discovery of library services and development of student research skills through short online instruction videos(2021-12-04) Bays, Brian; Saxton, AmyTools, techniques, and preliminary usability survey results will be shared to show how one library developed, on a minimal budget, a video tutorial series to support remote learning for students at UH Hilo & Hawaiʻi Community CollegeItem Marketing Archival Collections on Your Library Catalog with No Pennies(2021-12-04) Okuhara, Keiko; Cachola, Ellen-RaeSometimes archival collections are quietly kept in a special collection. Archives are a source for historical evidence and factual accounts of activities. They are our recorded memory, story tellers, and are documents for people to provide valuable sources for research and our community. The rise of emerging platforms for archival collections is to make them accessible and discoverable; however, current solutions are enchanting and yet pricey. This program gives some insight on how to increase visibility of your archival collections through your online catalog and illustrates how to make a bridge between Omeka, archival platform, and Alam, library system, by implementing Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PHM) for repository interoperability. The OAI protocol allows the metadata in Omeka to be discovered in Primo to effectively market our archival collections with no extra cost.Item HOT(Here-or-There) Library Orientation for Military Students and Veterans(2021-12-04) Brandes, Patricia; Torres, ElizabethActive duty military and veteran students are more racially and ethnically diverse, than in previous generations. They have unique academic needs and challenges that can make for a difficult transition from a military to a less-structured university environment. While academic institutions have adapted quickly to enroll military students, library engagement efforts have been limited to traditional reference and instruction services delivered on-campus or military bases. As a way to seek a better understanding of the needs and perspectives of this diverse student population, the libraries at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa and Hawaiʻi Pacific University, have partnered to pilot an outreach program by hosting library orientations tailored to military students during the fall 2021. This outreach initiative is done in collaboration with military programs and student orientation stakeholders at both universities. The library orientations will be offered as a "Here or There" (HOT) blended synchronous learning setting, which was used at UH Manoa during COVID-19. The orientation will emulate Texas A&M University Libraries' "Orienting Student Veterans to the Library," strategy which uses an in-processing checklist format which seeks to complement the training of military personnel. We aim to facilitate military students' transition in their academic lives.Item Genrefication: Reimagining the Library Space For Student Access and Independence(2021-12-03) Oshiro, Laurel; Nielsen, LaurenThis past summer, I took the leap and decided to genrefy all 2,000 books in my school library’s picture book collection. The discoveries were astounding as I started to rethink my library classification system through the eyes of my youngest students. Genrefication has been a hot topic in libraries in recent years as many more school libraries are redesigning their space to reflect human behavior. With the help of several other school librarians and U.H. Manoa’s Hui Dui student organization, we delved into a deeper discussion of understanding library organization, access, and independence while genrefying the collection. I am excited to continue the discussion as well as share the insights from this experience.Item Legal Research and Technology: How Legal Research is More Accessible than Ever(2021-12-03) Alt, JoelyA demonstration and discussion showcasing the different legal resources that are available to the public, most of them for free of cost.Item Try Think(ing) at the Library: Hawaii Council for the Humanities and Hawaii State Public Library System together to explore community engagement(2021-12-04) Lynch, Sheryl; Chang, RobertLibraries offer programming to the community in our physical spaces. Beginning in mid 2020 we started offering virtual programming instead of physical programming. HCH brought community engagement to a wide variety of public spaces including the libraries. In mid 2020 they also began offering virtual engagement to the public. Both organizations began to shift individually to meet the needs of their communities. Then HCH brought an idea to HSPLS, a collaboration; a virtual edition of their very successful Try Think program. This is that story.Item Exploring and Planning for Controlled Digital Lending (CDLL)(2021-12-04) Chow, Naomi; Thoulag, Jean; Hose, CarlaThis session will introduce the basics of Controlled Digital Lending for Libraries. It will present the potential as well as the planning aspects needed to implement a CDLL program for your library. The presenters will explain CDLL as it relates to Fair Use and how CDLL gives libraries the ability to expand access to their collections to support ILL, distance education, and patrons who are unable to come into the library in-person. Additionally, CDLL can provide access to special collections, library-use only, and unique materials that traditionally are non-circulating. The presenters will share their library's exploration and planning experiences to date implementing a CDLL service, provide examples of other current operational CDLL models and technical applications along with information resources to consult about CDLL and Fair Use.Item Empathic Communication: The Path to Seeing More Deeply(2021-12-03) Smoke, Anne MarieParticipants are guided through a template for engaging in communication that will help to establish a deeper connection with others including: perspective taking, staying out of judgement, recognizing someone's emotions, and communicating understanding. During the session, participants are encouraged to customize their templates to develop a personal pocket guide for easy reference and inspiration to practice empathic communication in their daily lives.Item E Ola Ka 'Ike Hawai'i (Long Live Hawaiian Knowledge)(2021-12-03) Reyes, Kuuleilani; Meyer, Keikilani; Naipo, StacyIn 2020, the World Indigenous Nations University-Hawaiʻi Pasifika (WINUHP) launched the E Ola Ka ʻIke Hawaiʻi (Long Live Hawaiian Knowledge) project. The purpose of the project is to increase access to and engagement with culturally-relevant Native Hawaiian digital resources via information literacy skills development for Native Hawaiians, educators and librarians. E Ola Ka ʻIke Hawaiʻi project leaders have developed an entirely online, dynamic curriculum to offer a certificate program, which was piloted in 2021. In this session, project leaders discuss the implementation of E Ola Ka ʻIke Hawaiʻi in terms of its significant impact on augmenting Leo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Voice) and the advancement of Hana Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Work) all while working online during the pandemic.Item Ditching Dewey: How We Changed to a Dewey-less Classification System(2021-11-29) Healey, Meri; Zuttermeister, LoriThe Marine Corps Base Hawaii Library team transitioned all of our materials from the Dewey Decimal Classification System into a word-based one in 2018-2019. Hear about how we did it, what we learned, and what we'd do differently.Item Stop AAPI Hate & Black Lives Matter: A General Understanding and Impact(2021-12-03) Sabatchi, RomynThis session will provide a general understanding of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Stop Asian American and Pacific Islander Hate (StopAAPI Hate/#stopaapihate), what that means in our personal and/or professional lives, and its impact on libraries.Item Beyond Mainstream Manga(2021-11-29) Fuchikami, JenniferPrint manga sales in the United States reached an all-time high in 2020 according to a sales analysis by online retail trade magazine ICv2. While these sales were partially attributed to the pandemic, the double-edged sword of COVID-19 also affected the publishing industry in other ways, leading to many titles becoming temporarily out of stock while printers caught up with their production backlog. Luckily, manga fans can still find and discover new series at their local libraries! While the majority of über-popular manga and anime fandoms are shōnen titles full of battles and action scenes, there is a vast number of underrated titles that should not be missed! A variety of series will be covered with tween, teen, and adult appeal. Whether you are an experienced graphic novel selector or new to manga, this session is for you!
