- Factors Affecting Selection of Information Sources: A Study of Ramkhamhaeng University Regional Campuses Graduate Students
- This poster presents research conducted on students at Ramkhamhaeng University (RU). Abstract: Previous studies have found that perceived source accessibility strongly correlates with the frequency of use of information sources and has influenced use of information channels, rather than expected quality or amount of information. Regional students succeed in their studies when they can easily access information through convenient sources. Therefore, the researcher will investigate factors affecting regional students' selection of information sources to meet their information needs, as well as investigate these regional students' satisfaction with Ramkhamhaeng University (RU) Regional Library Services and the perceived quality of information retrieved from other information sources. The researcher applies the 'Principle of Least Effort' for this study. This principle governs and predicts the choices of these regional students' perceived source accessibility, wehreas 'Simon's Satisficing Theory' explains the selection and use of the information retrieved without considering whether the information is optimal. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc32998/

- What If... ? Analysis of Demand-Driven Acquisitions of E-Books at UNT
- This poster discusses Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) of e-books. In 2012, the University of North Texas (UNT) launched a new strategic plan based on Four Bold Goals, one of which is to become a leader in operational effectiveness. During this same period, the UNT Libraries embarked on a pilot of patron- or demand-driven acquisitions of electronic books. Because little was known about how the e-books would be used, the Libraries chose the service model that enabled the purchase of all titles that met the trigger thresholds. Midway through the pilot, the authors examined the usage of purchased titles to determine if other purchasing models would have been more efficient and effective use of funds, in line with that institutional goal. The authors applied the usage data from the first six months of the program to each of three purchasing scenarios. The poster will visually demonstrate the differences of these scenarios, explain the steps involved, and present the conclusions and decisions that were made based on the results. Librarians who manage similar PDA programs will be able to use information to analyze their own collections, while those who are considering such programs will also be able to consider the results in determining the purchasing model most relevant to their patrons' needs. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc102304/

- Don't judge a book by its Cover: The Human Library
- This poster introduces the lecture series UNT Speaks Out on the Human Library. Instead of print or electronic media, the books in this library will be human beings who have experienced prejudice due to issues such as race, gender, disability, ethnic origin, sexual preference, mental illness or lifestyle choices. The "books" at this event are people who have volunteered to challenge prejudice through respectful conversation with members of the UNT campus and the greater Denton community who borrow them for fifteen to thirty minute conversation. The Human Library concept was developed in 2000 by members of the Danish Youth Organization Stop the Violence. It is now operational in more than 60 countries. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc152431/

- Video on Demand: Streaming Media in Distance Education
- This poster discusses streaming media in distance education. The University of North Texas began substantially increasing its online course offerings in the late 1990's. Students, faculty, and librarians realized that access to online resources would be crucial to the success of these courses. An infrastructure for managing remote access to electronic journals and databases was already established by the libraries, but a plan was not in place to address the use of audiovisual materials in online courses. When the heavily film-based anthropology course "ANTH 2100: World Cultures Through Film" transitioned from a face-to-face classroom to an online environment, it served as a catalyst for developing a plan to provide distance education students online access to media. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc78266/
- The Lifecycle Management of ETDs Project: Multi Stakeholders Partnership
- This poster discusses the Lifecycle Management of ETDs Project. Abstract: With most theses and dissertations now being created as digital products, lifecycle management of these valuable intellectual documents is an important new responsibility of academic libraries. But it is a responsibility that unfortunately not all libraries have the infrastructure or resources to support. The big question is: 'How will institutions address the entire lifecycle of ETDs, ensuring that the papers acquired from students today will be available to future researchers?' This two-year project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), is a collaborative attempt to respond to this question. The authors will promote best curatorial practices to increase the capacity of academic libraries to reliably preserve ETDs by using a three-pronged approach: writing guidance documents, developing software tools, and creating educational materials. All of these resources will be available under an open access license at the conclusion of the project. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc146592/
