Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rutgers University- New Brunswick is a public four-year institution located within the limits of New Brunswick and Piscataway, New Jersey. Separated into four sub-campuses, Rutgers University - New Brunswick has developed an intricate campus transit system. Rutgers is one of many institutions who have sought to become more sustainable entities, in order to continue to provide exceptional services to students for the foreseeable future. In order to do so, universities are beginning to look towards alternative methods of transportation for their students to limit the use of private vehicles. This thesis research highlights the weekend accessibility of the four major campus libraries on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, comparing the usage of the campus transit system and one's private vehicle. Using the potential interaction model of accessibility, this research measures the accessibility of each sub-campus to the library on the other 3 sub-campuses and each library to students coming from the other sub-campuses. The results of this research show which campus library is the most accessible to students from the other sub-campuses and which sub-campus is the most accessible to the 3 other libraries. This research also highlights the accessibility gap between students who take the campus transit system and those who make use of their private vehicle.

Download or read book Independent School Libraries written by Dorcas Hand and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book published about independent school libraries since 1985, this work offers both the independent school library community and the broader school library community a wealth of insights into excellence in library practice. Independent School Libraries: Perspectives on Excellence offers readers insights into best practices in library services for school communities, using examples drawn from independent schools of various sizes, descriptions, and locations across the United States. Two overview essays introduce a statistical analysis of independent schools. Each of the remaining essays provides perspective on a different aspect of library practice, including staffing, advocacy, assessment, technology, collaboration, programs beyond the curriculum, intellectual freedom and privacy, budgeting, accreditation, disaster planning, and more. Because independent school librarians work across divisions and without a mandate to adhere to state or national standards, they have the freedom to explore and refine best practice in a school library setting. Fortunately, the ideas and methods they have developed, many of which are on display here, can be applied in any school library.

Book excerpt: The 1994 Forum on Library and Information Services was planned to provide an opportunity to explore the role of libraries in the evolving information and communications infrastructure. This report on the proceedings of the Forum begins with the agenda and a list of the participants. Two roles of the Department of Education relating to libraries and the Internet/National Information Infrastructure (NII) are then examined. The next three sections are structured around: (1) the federal perspective; (2) the state, local, and institutional perspective; and (3) measuring the value of information services. Each session is divided into four parts: panel presentations with a moderator; discussants who offer comments on the panel presentations and the topic; open group discussion; and a summation to identify issues and needed actions. The report concludes with a review and evaluation of the forum highlighting implications of development and changes in library and information services for data collection and analyses, and a luncheon presentation on implementing the Institute for Postsecondary Education, Libraries, and Lifelong Education. Four appendices present a draft of a statement on libraries and the NII for public comment; descriptions of the Louisiana Libraries Network Project and the Blacksburg (Virginia) Electronic Village; and a summary of a current study of the costs and beneficial impacts of library functions.
