Drafting the inclusive metadata statement
(11/19/2021) Beezley, Shay; Palone, Kaitlyn
Offensive/outdated terminology in library cataloging standards has been discussed for some years now, particularly around the subject heading “illegal aliens.” A recent trend in library cataloging and technical services departments has been to create public statements that acknowledging these problems to their communities and actions that have been or will be taken to address offensive/outdated terminology found in our standards. The professional catalogers at the University of Central Oklahoma teamed up in summer 2021 to create such a statement, and this lightning talk will address why we created this statement, how we structured this statement, and our own steps for transforming words into actions.

Forming the Oklahoma "Tornado" NACO Funnel
(2018-11-09) Earls, Anona; Palone, Kaitlyn; Shorten, Jay; Beezley, Shay
How do you know if the books by Robert Smith, Bob Smith, or Bobby Smith are the same author or not? Are you stuck in helping your patrons find a resource by the same John Doe? Catalogers are here to help you through the international Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) steered by the Library of Congress by establishing authorized names to be used in library catalogs far and wide. In 2017, a small group of Oklahoma academic and public librarians came together to form the Oklahoma "Tornado" Funnel where catalogers trained with Jay Shorten of the University of Oklahoma Libraries to learn how to establish and disambiguate names, including names for people and entities in Oklahoma. Our poster will de-mystify the process of starting and joining a NACO funnel as well as showing how catalogers at the University of Central Oklahoma incorporated this new skill into their workflow to improve the quality of catalogs everywhere.

From Ph.D. to Library: Parallels and Divergences between Data Librarians and the Researchers They Serve
(2023-11-10) Kirsch, Danielle
One of many challenges for data librarians is bridging the gap (often as much physical as philosophical) between researchers and the providers of research-oriented services. Data librarians possess much of the knowledge and skills necessary to assist researchers throughout the lifecycle of their projects, providing assistance on everything from data management and sharing plans to the eventual archival of various research products. However, librarians and researchers do not always speak the same language or prioritize the same outcomes for research products. As someone nearing the completion of a Ph.D. in biology and serving as a Research Data Specialist in an academic library, I can contribute perspectives as both a researcher and research support staff. Using my own personal experience as well as evidence from empirical research, I will discuss problematic divides and promising overlaps between researchers and data librarians and recommend strategies for more effective cooperation between these two groups.

Goldfish in a bowl: Teaching privacy literacy to undergraduates
(2023-11-10) Reiter, Holly
Free coffee in exchange for your personal data. Wifi that tracks your movements across campus. Apps that mine data across your device. For college students today, giving up personal data is simply the cost of being online, both for personal and educational purposes. And while students may care about maintaining their online privacy, many do not have the tools to practice good data privacy habits, because they simply have not been taught them. In this presentation, we will explore what privacy literacy is, why librarians are perfectly poised to offer data privacy instruction, and look at examples of data privacy lessons that the presenter has used in their own credit-bearing information literacy course.

Internal Needs Assessments: A worthwhile endeavor?
(2023-11-10) Prescott, Carolyn; Isgrigg, Daniel; Sample, Angela
In 2020, the Oral Roberts University Library Needs Assessment Committee conducted six months of investigation, including an internal examination of the Library and an external study of Library resources, services, and staff. This Needs Assessment was unique in that a team of Library faculty and staff conducted it. Internal members of an organization rarely perform needs assessments for many reasons, including inherent bias and the potential distrust of those not on the assessment team. This process was complicated due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the period of data collection. The presenters will discuss the process, the benefits and some of the downsides of an Internal Needs Assessment. They will also describe how they navigated the tensions inherent in an internal assessment. Finally, they will present some of the recommendations that the Library has implemented. They will also explore some long-term benefits from a perspective three years later, and will discuss future plans.
