Assessment of a Broad-Based CCC “Get It Now” Program Implementation
No full textWe conducted a year-long pilot of the Copyright Clearance Center’s “Get It Now” rapid document delivery program. Get It Now is intended to supplement traditional library journal collections by providing rapid on-request electronic access to a deep body of journal literature, for a per article charge which is absorbed by the library. Our pilot project provided the service to all constituencies within our university community: undergraduate, graduate student, staff and faculty. This differs from many implementations which are limited to certain populations e.g. faculty-only. With a full year of data, we
assess whether this broad availability of service is sustainable financially with current resources; whether it makes sense from a collections development standpoint; who the major users are when the service is available to all; and what subject areas the requested articles predominate. Our general experience in setting up and managing the service is discussed
Interactive data entry and validation tool: A collaboration between librarians and researchers
Get PDFPurpose
– The purpose of this paper is to share a case study process of collaboration with faculty, highlight some design considerations when creating data entry forms and describe some considerations when planning for data management.
Design/methodology/approach
– A case study is presented with goals, events and design considerations.
Findings
– Findings show that librarians can be essential members of a faculty research team.
Research limitations/implications
– Each partnership is different with different data management needs. Design considerations for a data entry form depend on the specific data being collected.
Practical implications
– Principles can be applied to other libraries developing data management collaborations with faculty or for designing of Web/paper data entry forms.
Originality/value
– Most forms are not interactive beyond simple presentation of alternate questions. This form of design method builds on user inputs to create dynamic, color-coded and textual guidance. Some of the process of collaborating with faculty partners is shared

The Role of the Family in Nursing Homes: Recommendations to Increase Family Satisfaction with Care
Get PDFFamilies are important consumers of long-term care services who are likely to remain involved in the care of their resident loved one after placement. The aims of this brief report are (1) to increase the understanding of the role of family members in long-term care facilities in Ohio, (2) to examine the resident, family member, and facility characteristics that are associated with higher family satisfaction, and (3) to propose strategies to improve family satisfaction.Families are important consumers of long-term care services who are likely to remain involved in the care of their resident loved one after placement.
