Authors:Justin M. Easterday Abstract: Advancements in technology have impacted how people gather and obtain new information. This phe-nomenon is especially apparent among younger generations where there has been an increase in the number of students who are visual learners. To continue to best serve these students, librarians need to begin to adapt library instructional material, such as research guides, to also present information using visual multimedia resources. While adapting research guides to increasingly visual learners, the oppor-tunity exists to ensure that research guides follow a user-centered design. In the process of updating these guides, librarians can also provide some assistance with web accessibility by meeting several crite-ria from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. This article highlights criteria from the Perceiva-ble, Understandability, and Operable sections that can be met by non-web designers. The foundation of this process is the development of a content strategy that guides the planning and adapting of research guides. This article presents some of the best practices that can be used to guide librarians as they proac-tively adapt their research guides to current learners learning styles, while still meeting web accessibility expectations.

Authors:Victoria Koger Abstract: While libraries no longer dream of having everything patrons might ever want or need, they can make an effort to get closer to those needs without going over budget. It doesn’t have to take loading additional records in the catalog or a team of librarians to find and select titles. This paper explores the process Eastern Kentucky University Libraries went through to create and develop a mediated demand driven acquisitions workflow starting with interlibrary loan requests and helped the collection become modern, diversified, and more responsive to current users and curriculum.

Authors:Abigail Norris et al. Abstract: Digital scholarship (the use of digital technology in research or teaching applications) is a new and growing field but many Mississippi libraries, including the University of Mississippi, are not officially supporting digital scholarship. To change this, librarians at the University of Mississippi sent out an online survey to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students in order to gauge their interest in and experience with digital scholarship methods and tools and how the library can best support digital scholarship on campus. The results showed a wide variety of interest and expertise across several fields, mostly in the humanities, with important data and suggestions for future digital scholarship initiatives. The authors hope to use this data to improve digital scholarship support at the university library, and to offer it as a template to other libraries interested in digital scholarship that do not yet have a formal program of support.
