Abstract:

PurposeTo give a quick and easy approach to library advocacy, with regard to the ongoing needs of keeping in touch with stakeholders due to poor or reducing government funding for public libraries, librarians are in the situation of having to advocate in new and different ways.Design/methodology/approachGiven the state of New York and federal funding, this approach explores the best practices that anyone can apply to approach stakeholders and policy makers for more funding.FindingsFunding for libraries in the USA is often tied to “who” the library knows and this article gives a direct “how to” approach that can be used throughout the local, state or federal lobbying process. Especially in meeting the sophisticated demands of library users, this approach ties funding to patron activities, such as reading, electronic resources and programming.Originality/valueThis snapshot on advocacy can give those in the front lines or new to the advocacy process a way to start thinking in new ways to getting an advocacy action plan in place. A web resource of state activities in the State of New York offers resources on advocacy, specifically targeted to library advocates. Other benefits include developing messages and building coalitions.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to look at the organizational structure and service provisions of cooperative public library systems in New York State. The study also seeks to ask questions of how cooperative public library systems decide what services to provide. Design/methodology/approach – Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and cluster analysis were applied on New York State public library systems’ 2008 annual reports to generate quantitative profiles of public library systems and their service transactions. Three cooperative public library systems displaying different service features were purposefully selected for further study of their service decision-making processes. The face-to-face and phone interviews were adopted in the study. Findings – Research findings from this study provide information on specific service variations across cooperative public library systems. The findings also provide differences of service decision-making processes in addition to the factors that might cause these differences. Originality/value – This study adds knowledge of public library systems’ management and organizational structures, therefore fills a knowledge gap on public library systems. It can also serve as the baseline for future studies using newer annual report data and therefore to study the changing roles and services of cooperative public library systems in New York State.

Abstract:

At the pick of his career, Mihály Munkácsy (1844–1900) was seen in the first rank of living artists. Many of his works were acquired by American collectors, including Blind Milton Dictating “Paradise Lost” to His Daughters. This large work had been displayed in many European cities before it arrived in New York City to be permanently displayed at the Lenox Library, the predecessor of the New York Public Library. The article discusses the marketing and the reception of the painting in the late 19th century.

Abstract:

The chat communication is a new type of user distance service. The authors examine the technology applications in different organizations and libraries, in particular. Intelligent information systems are used for designing virtual assistants and chatbots. The authors emphasize that, as for today, the scientific classification for chatbots is lacking. They attempt to categorize virtual talkbots. They discuss iPavlov artificial intellect library. The most interesting Russian developments are Telegram chatbots of Russian State Library for Young Adults, Directorate of Cultural Centers of Moscow, and that of St. Petersburg State Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired. RNPLS&T has implemented jivo system of chat communication. The reasons for choosing this system and operation results are discussed. The authors conclude that chat communication meets the principles and improves efficiency of user services.

Abstract:

In 2012, early literacy became a top priority for the New York State Library and the agency’s work with the state’s regional public library systems and libraries. While many public libraries had long provided storytimes for preschool-aged youth, the State Library determined there was a need and an opportunity for libraries to play a larger, more impactful role in building early learning skills by reaching parents and caregivers in addition to young children.

Abstract:

Abstract The New York Public Library’s Books of the Century grew out of an exhibition created to celebrate the Centennial of The New York Public Library. One of many events, publications, and displays that marked our anniversary year, the exhibition drew on the enthusiasm and love of books as well as the special expertise of the institution’s librarians. This little volume is permanent documentation of our effort. The world was very different in May 1895, when The New York Public Library was founded, formed by the consolidation of the Astor Library and Lenox Library, both privately owned, and the Tilden Trust, a legacy of Samuel J. Tilden, a former governor of New York state.

Abstract:

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used by government, researchers and businesses in a wide range of domains including economic development, environmental management, education, health, human services, infrastructure management, and disaster response. Most experts agree that the most expensive part of a GIS program is the creation of spatial data. Some estimate that as much as 80% of the cost of any application is attributable to the expenses of acquiring and geocoding information (Thapa & Bosler, 1992). Often the information needs of different GIS applications overlap and data created by one organization can be used by others. Data sharing can therefore help reduce costs of GIS application development and yield considerable benefits and efficiencies. To achieve this purpose, the State of New York has implemented a GIS Coordination Program which features an Internet-based GIS Clearinghouse operated by the New York State Library (Dawes & Eglene, 1998). In this program, the Library acts as a critical implementer and value-added facilitator of an important new state information policy that has influence over spatial data development, exchange, and use at all levels of government and in the private and not-for-profit sectors. The Clearinghouse provides the conceptual framework and operational platform for a fully functioning data cooperative which is the heart of the New York State GIS Data Sharing Policy. The library-based clearinghouse has become the essential portal to many newly identified information resources. It organizes the data descriptions, provides a publicly available and easy-to-use means of access, promotes sharing, points the way to education and other services, and generally makes possible the vision of a living data resource.

Abstract:

Abstract In view of the uniquely complex development of James Joyce’s literary texts in notebooks, manuscripts, and typescripts, along with the author’s practice of composing extensively on the printers’ galleys, the study and appreciation of his art calls for an exacting examination of the written and printed materials involved at every stage. Voluminous materials of this kind have been dispersed throughout libraries and collections in Ireland, Britain, and the USA. Many of Joyce’s papers are now held at the Lockwood Memorial Library of the State University of New York at Buffalo, together with the Joyce family portraits.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses several major additions to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. It first examines the process of creating a new drama component in the City Center that would be up to the program's standards. Next, the building of the New York State Theater amid multiple challenges during William Schuman's presidency is discussed. The chapter also traces the precipitating factors in presenting a musical theater at the Lincoln Center—generally considered the weakest constituent of the arts center. The Library-Museum was another significant addition to the Center during this period. The chapter also follows the circuitous construction of The Juilliard School, the last scheduled building to be finished on campus. Finally, the chapter studies the tumultuous events surrounding the construction and opening of the Metropolitan Opera House.

Abstract:

The Dune Treasure from Gotland is one of the largest treasures of medieval Scandinavia. It is believed to have been hidden in 1361. To this day, the find has not been adequately studied in terms of its significance. The most famous element of the treasure is a buckle depicting a rider, his squire, and a female figure in front of them. The meaning of this representation has not been definitively established. Another ornament by the same buckle’s maker is stored at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The iconography of the buckle is based on an initial in the manuscript Clm. 14055 from the Bavarian State Library in Munich. The graphic pattern of the scene on the buckle is found in the codex Clm 13002 of the same library. The history of the prototypes of the jewels suggests that they may have been created only in the 19th century. The authors of the buckle itself are Dr. Franz Bock (1823-1899, intellectual concept), director of the Cologne Diocesan Museum, and Reinhold Vasters (1827-1909, execution of the ornament), a goldsmith from Aachen. It seems probable that the initiator of depositing the treasure was the king of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II (1829-1907).

Abstract This paper (part one of two) addresses the investigative efforts of the Center for Automation Technologies (CAT), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, into the requirements and processes of the New York State Talking Book and Braille Library (TBBL), and the describes the first several module concepts in the automation system designed to assist the TBBL staff in the processing of “talking books” (books on cassette). Part two discusses the remaining modules, system simulations, and conclusions. The primary purposes for this modular system are 1. To assist the TBBL in meeting increased throughput demands and 2. To reduce work-related injury claims. The modules are designed to work individually (as to allow the possibility of similar libraries in other states purchasing modules as desired), and facilitate incremental implementation toward a complete system (for maximized benefit). In this paper, the modules discussed are the BMC unloader (for which a patent application has been filed), the sorting and singulating module, the case orientation and latch opening module, a possible buffer module, and the automation-assisted rewind and inspection module.

Abstract:

Not every library can have an accessibility expert on staff while redesigning their website. Every library can, however, develop their own informed personnel. At Kansas State University Libraries, a task force focused on developing and maintaining a new website formed, coinciding with the hire of a librarian who is disabled and experienced in human factors, user experience, and accessibility. This provided an opportunity not only for improved accessibility, but a more nuanced understanding of the needs and experiences of disabled patrons. In this process we learned that lack of accountability is often a significant barrier to libraries designing an accessible website. To successfully design an accessible website, accessibility must be a priority from the beginning of the design process rather than a checklist and fixes applied at the end of the process. A common hurdle to an organization adopting an accessibility focused approach to design is the lack of personnel dedicated specifically to accessibility. All too often, this responsibility becomes dispersed among a team of designers, by which accessibility becomes an afterthought. To paraphrase Bandura (1990), if everybody is in charge, nobody is in charge. At least one person must be tasked with developing knowledge of accessibility and advocating for the needs of disabled users. While everyone on the team responsible for web content development should possess some basic knowledge of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), one person needs to have primary responsibility and accountability. If this individual does not currently have a grounding in disability theory, then developing a basic understanding of disability theory should be their priority. Our literature review would serve as a solid foundation. Just as usability testing should be done with human users, accessibility should be tested by people who both will use the website and use assistive and adaptive technology on a regular basis. Finding disabled users for testing can present some ethical dilemmas. In the United States, for example, information about a student’s disability status is protected by both FERPA AND HIPAA. While this does present a challenge, it is possible to overcome this challenge and find disabled users in an ethical manner. It should be understood when testing website accessibility, the real question is not, for example, “can a blind person use my website,” but rather, “can a person who uses magnification or a screen reader use my website.” Any office or organization on campus that works with disabled students can assist with recruiting volunteers and snowball sampling can be used from there. In this paper we argue that designating one person, who will be held accountable, as responsible for accessibility and advocating for the needs of disabled users is an essential step in creating an accessible library web presence. In addition, we present a viable pathway for a non-expert in accessibility to develop sufficient competency to serve as an advocate for disabled users in the web development process.Bandura, A.
