Communicate. Cooperate. Collaborate.

by Teri Gallaway, LOUIS

On February 16, 2016, Open education re-

sources (OER) experts from around the world

boarded the American Queen riverboat in

New Orleans to participate in the Hewlett An-

nual OER Meeting. For two and a half days,

invited participants cruised the Mississippi

River to Baton Rouge and back all while

sharing their OER success stories, forging

new networks, learning about effective story-

telling, and holding unconference sessions to

address OER challenges. This meeting, held

annually by the William and Flora Hewlett

Foundation, brings together the Hewlett OER

grantees and “friends”. Among those

friends, are invitees from the local communi-

ties where the conference is held, which is

how I received a boarding pass for this

amazing journey.

The Hewlett grantees represent a wide area

of OER educational expertise including both K

-12 and Higher Education. The Institute for

the Study of Knowledge Management in Edu-

cation (ISKME), the entity behind OERCom-

mons, served as the event organizer and

participants included 130 representatives

from SPARC, Open Textbook Network, Open

Education Consortium, UNESCO, Wiki Strate-

gies, Creative Commons, Lumen Learning,

BCCampus, OpenStax, and other technology,

policy, and educational organizations.

Several sessions focused on the use of story-

telling techniques in order to spread the

message of openness in education. The

grantees took turns telling their stories to

show the impact of their organization during

an activity called “Super Seven”. At various

program sessions over the two day event,

groups of seven grantees were given two

minutes each to tell how an individual was im-

pacted by their organization. Once the two

minute mark had passed, grantees voices

were drowned out by a musical selection, a la

the Oscars. It was an inspiring demonstration

of how important it is to be able to draw in an

audience, hold their interest, and motivate

them to action in a brief encounter.

For LOUIS, one valuable takeaway was the

development of a new relationship with the

Education Program Consultant at the Louisi-

ana Department of Education (LDOE), Whit-

ney Whealdon. The LDOE has been engaged

in using open educational resources in their

ELA curriculum and makes an ideal partner for

not just the curation of open educational re-

sources, but also on longer term projects re-

lated to development of electronic collections

for Louisiana across all branches of librarian-

ship.

In a breakout session for higher education

and a later unconference session on librarian

involvement in OER, librarians were acknowl-

edged as key players able to build OER pro-

gram capacity. Even with only a handful of li-

brarians participating in the Hewlett meeting,

our value

was widely

acknowl-

edged. One

theme that

arose was

that by em-

powering

and chal-

lenging li-

brarians to

curate and work with instructional design

teams to expose resources to instructional

faculty, much ground could be gained. The

importance of OER supportive collection de-

velopment policies, and educational compe-

tencies for librarians were cited as critical

pieces to aligning libraries and OER strategies

and an area where SPARC could initiate policy

change.

As LOUIS continues to refine its Affordable

Learning LOUISiana program goals, these new

OER community connections are invaluable.

While OER adoptions are only one strategy for

reduction of student textbook expenses, the

new community of practice that LOUIS joined

through participation in the Hewlett OER

meeting allows LOUIS Team to understand

and engage in the discussion of how OER can

both support student success and academic

freedom and to bring its member libraries into

that discussion.

BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) is

SirsiDynix’s cloud-based re-

porting service. BCA takes ad-

vantage of enterprise-level re-

porting tools from MicroStrate-

gy™. Data is extracted from

your Symphony system and

loaded into a database struc-

ture that can be queried by

MicroStrategy™. BCA offers

highly customized reports. The

days of being limited by stand-

ard reports will soon be histo-

ry.

In BLUEcloud Analytics, a re-

port queries data and produc-

es results in a grid or graph.

Reports are useful for counting

or listing data. You should be

able to recreate most Work-

Flows count and list reports in

BCA. Notice type reports and

reports that edit the database

are not part of BCA. Subscrip-

tions in BCA enable you to

have reports emailed and/or

added to your history list

which is similar to the finished

reports list in WorkFlows.

Datasets currently available in

BLUEcloud Analytics include

bill, catalog, checkouts, hold,

item, MARC, transaction, and

user. Acquisitions and serials

data still need to be added.

SirsiDynix delivers several re-

ports for each of the datasets.

They can be used as is or as

templates. Reports basically

consist of attributes, filters,

and metrics. An attribute is

similar to a field in a Work-

Flows report. A filter is similar

to the gadget used in Work-

Flows to include/exclude poli-

cies or set ranges. A metric is

a number or amount as in

number of bills or total bill

amount.

Creating a blank report in-

volves dragging and dropping

attributes, filters, and metrics

to a grid while in design mode.

The grid has sections labeled

as drop objects here to add

rows, drop objects here to add

columns, and drop metrics

here to add data. Filters are

added to a section above the

grid. You can also split data

into pages with the page-by

feature. A good example is

page-by library.

Reports can be created with

predefined or prompted filters.

Think of a report with prede-

fined filters as a WorkFlows

scheduled report. Usually,

there is no need to make

changes to the report. On the

other hand, a report with

prompted filters can be

thought of as a WorkFlows re-

port template with some se-

lection criteria being changed

each time the report is run. The user may be

prompted to select a library or input a bar-

code.

The ability to customize reports yourself is a

welcome benefit of BLUEcloud Analytics. It is

a timesaver over requesting a custom report

from LOUIS. Another benefit of BCA is the

ability to search for bibliographic data that is

not indexed in Symphony. Drill-down func-

tionality enables the user to get granular level

data.

BLUEcloud Analytics currently suffers from

some performance issues. Emailing of reports

is unreliable due to a lack of system re-

sources. Occasionally, BCA will not have

enough resources to run a report. SirsiDynix

is taking steps to resolve performance issues.

There is a learning curve associated with

BLUEcloud analytics. The interface is separate

from other BLUEcloud products. You will be

faced with new terminology and concepts.

Each site will have access to online training.

Take good notes because the training is not

recorded. Additional resources include a train-

ing guide, a data reference guide, and the

ANALYTICS discussion list. Your greatest re-

source is the LOUIS community. Together, we

can learn and master BLUEcloud Analytics.

Building Bridges with Our Campus Bookstore

An Interview with Tim Stamm

by Teri Gallaway, LOUIS

As part of the Affordable Learning LOUISiana

initiative and the Board of Regents investment

in LOUIS for the purpose of reducing textbook

costs for students, we have been working on a

streamlined process to support curriculum

driven acquisitions. One of the first hurdles to

simplifying the process of purchasing eBooks

that can serve as course texts has been

knowing what books are assigned for student

purchase. Some sites have been able to

acquire that list directly from their campus

bookstore. Other sites have encountered

some resistance on campus and have asked

about what strategies are effective in working

with the campus to get this information. We

asked one of our local experts, Tim Stamm,

Library Dean at Delgado Community College,

to share his thoughts and advice. His insight

on the impact of this project and the details

on how he pursued this information are

invaluable.

What are the benefits to the library

having access to the bookstore course

adoptions list?

Having access to the book titles that faculty

are requesting for courses is useful for two

purposes: firstly, it allows the library to review

the types of materials required for students to

use as primary course materials, so, in

collection development, librarians can work to

ensure that resources in the library collection

are current and that there are adequate

resources in the collection in the subject

areas/disciplines to supplement the required

course text materials for use in research

projects and more in-depth research to

supplement student learning outcomes.

Secondly, it allows the library to determine

what print and/or electronic titles requested

by faculty as course text materials already are

held in the library collection, in multiple print

copies and/or with unlimited user access.

With this information, 1) faculty can stop

requesting the same titles be ordered by the

bookstore for sale to students; and 2) the

library can determine if purchasing additional

titles in print and/or electronic format could be

useful to assist in reducing the cost of

education to students.

Can you describe how you first

approached the bookstore for this

information and what was the reaction?

A request was made though the bookstore

manager/contact. In general, the bookstore

was not supportive of providing the

information in text form, noting that it was

available, course-by-course on the bookstore

website. Questions about the purpose and the

role of the bookstore, as opposed to the

library, in purchasing course texts for resale

were discussed, including if a move was afoot

to have the library purchase copies of texts for

all classes for circulation to the students.

Given that you had some initial

resistance from the bookstore, who did

you speak to next and what arguments

did you use to make your case?

Chief Academic Officer (Provost), Chief

Financial Officer, and Student Affairs/Student

Government Association. The SGA was

particularly helpful, in that the same

information is required from the bookstore, so

a list may be posted for students to (attempt

to) find course texts a less expensive price.

April 28, 2016

In discussing this issue with the Chief

Financial Officer, the fact that the library was

not competing, in that we were not proposing

to re-sell books, was used.

What is your interpretation of the Higher

Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and

how it relates to this situation? Did you

seek clarification of the law from any

colleagues?

My interpretation is that HEOA requires a

listing of textbooks be made available to

students, so that they may be empowered to

find lower cost alternatives, where

appropriate, to the College Bookstore. The

College must provide this information, and

does so on the ‘Consumer Information’

webpage; however, the link to textbooks

refers back to the Bookstore, and does not

provide a list by each course. The College’s

Policy and Student Affairs units note that the

bookstore interprets this as making the

information available, not necessarily as

making the information available in one

comprehensive list.

What advice do you have for campuses

that decide they want to obtain

bookstore course adoption lists?

To involve the SGA – any initiative to decrease

the cost of education to students can, and will,

be championed by the students. Having a

discussion with the Financial Officer/Auxiliary

Affairs Director can also be helpful.

Learning with LOUIS Video Migration

by Jaime Barrilleaux, LOUIS

LSU moved from Adobe Connect to Cisco We-

bex last fall. All Adobe Connect recordings

had to be downloaded and converted, plus we

had to find a storage solution.

We would like to extend our thanks to Jamie

Phillips, a Digital Media Consultant in LSU ITS!

He and his team of student workers helped us

tremendously by doing the hard work of

downloading and converting our recordings.

Of course, when looking for a storage solution

for all those recordings, we turned to the

world of social media. The most obvious

choice was YouTube, but research indicated

that this wouldn’t be the best solution for our

needs. We chose to use Vimeo as our primary

storage solution. The main reason we went

with Vimeo is because we can password-

protect sensitive videos; YouTube hides pro-

tected videos so completely they are not ac-

cessible without the direct link.

Uploading the recordings to Vimeo is pro-

gressing. We’ve been working from newest to

oldest. Currently all 2015-2016 recordings

have been uploaded, and roughly 45% of old-

er recordings are uploaded. Videos are also

available on our YouTube channel and will

soon be published on the training portal.

Support for Adobe Connect recordings ended

on December 31, 2015, so those links no

longer work. You should now access the re-

cordings on Vimeo. The password to access

the recordings remains the same.

Class Is In Session: A New Resource for Information Literacy

Instruction at BPCC

by Ellen Jenkins, BPCC

A new state-of-the-art learning resource is

fully operational at the Bossier Parish

Community College Learning Commons. The

Library Classroom was constructed to promote

information literacy instruction and awareness

of library services. The new classroom

provides students with an area to learn about

the research process through librarian-taught

orientations. The classroom provides an

abundance of educational technology to aid

students and faculty with successful research

sessions. Support for this project was funded

by a grant from the Louisiana Board of

Regents as part of the Spring 2015 library

renovation project.

Following the completion of renovations, the

library classroom was opened for use

beginning Fall 2015. The classroom contains

30 student computers and an instructor

computer station. The instructor computer

connects teaching material

through a media projector

onto a large presentation

screen. The media projector

also provides sound for video

streaming. The student

computers are linked to a

printer and a printing release

station located in the back of

the classroom. The computers

connect to the Internet and

perform on the Windows 7

operating system and include

the same software that is

available on other computers

within the Learning Commons.

Library Orientations are available to fit the

needs of each instructor and their students.

Through the collaboration of faculty and

librarians, orientations are tailored to be

general or subject specific. The students are

taught that the information seeking process

involves critical thinking and decision making.

The computer-equipped classroom allows

library orientations to incorporate hands-on

learning techniques to present teaching

material. The librarian displays the teaching

material from the media projector onto the

large screen. The students actively develop

research strategies by following librarian-lead

database demonstrations. Students learn how

to search, select, and evaluate appropriate

resources. Other library materials are also

introduced including the physical collection,

technology, tutoring, and information

assistance. The goal is for the student to be

more confident in using library resources and

services.

Besides Library Orientations, faculty can

reserve the classroom for their students to

further practice research skills independently,

work on class projects, and conduct

presentations. Use of the library classroom

can also be made by reservation to

accommodate college business such as

workshops, webinars, and meetings; however,

preference will always be given to library

orientations. Library staff are available to

provide any assistance.

College libraries are a central part of any

campus. Availability of tools for student

success is what the Learning Commons

aspires to achieve. Use of the Library

Classroom provides greater awareness of the

library and its resources for students, faculty,

and staff at Bossier Parish Community

College. It is the Learning Commons’ goal to

furnish the resources and instruction that

support the college's mission of providing a

strong educational environment that fosters

student academic achievement.

What is TASK, you ask?

The TASK Portal is your one-stop-shop for all your training, answers,

support, and knowledge needs for LOUIS resources. It will provide

information, training resources, and links out to additional re-

sources. The portal was named by the Training Focus Group that

convened at LUC 2015. Let’s give them some props!

Watch for announcements!

New Custom Report Helps UNO Evaluate Circulation Desk Activi-

ties By Hour

by Mark Witteman, LOUIS

Lora Amsberryaugier, Interim Dean of Library

Services for the University of New Orleans,

recently asked the LOUIS team for help. She

opened a Footprints incident saying that she

needed to know the average time the first

reserve desk item was checked out for each

day of the week, Sunday through Saturday,

over the last two years. She also needed to

know the same information for payment of

user bills. Additionally, she needed the

average time for the last reserve check out

for each day of the week, and likewise for the

last payment of user bills for each day of the

week

In short, when do they start doing these tasks

on the typical day, and when do they finish?

The LOUIS Team identified a custom report

available for download from the SirsiDynix

Developer's Community that provides an hour

-by-hour breakdown for each day of the week

for whatever transactions a user cares to

select. They then got to work customizing the

script to add the information Lora requested.

The result is a custom report that Lora can

run whenever she likes for any span of dates

and any activity that appears in the

Symphony statistics log.

Let the LOUIS Team know if this report

interests you.

Reserve checkouts from April 1,

2014 to the present day.

LC Call Number Fixes at University of Louisiana Monroe

Volume 2, Issue 2

10

by Mark Witteman, LOUIS

In the course of working on a recent FootPrint

incident, Chuck Hughes described to the

LOUIS Team an old and vexing pair of

problems in thousands of their LC call

numbers: spaces where they did not belong.

While this will sound trivial to some, there are

cases where these spaces make it hard for

students and WorkFlows users to find

materials when searching by call number.

Those spaces may also affect the ability to

gather stats based upon LC class ranges in

BLUEcloud Analytics or other tools. Lastly,

many simply value consistency for the sake of

consistency.

Chuck Hughes, Coordinator of Library

Technical Services, tells us "the spaces had

gotten into the item call numbers during our

migration to NOTIS or even earlier. The only

way for us to spot them was to scan a shelf

list of the entire collection, a job we gave to

student workers. Even after starting a hand-

written list of 20+ pages we had not found

them all. When we lost our student workers

the project lost its priority. We had planned

on shelving the project until after our major

weed."

So the LOUIS Team got to work. First, we

produced spreadsheets to show Chuck the

proposed edit for each call number, including

both the original and new call numbers along

with item IDs and title. Upon approval from

ULM, the LOUIS team wrote another script to

complete the proposed edits.

In total, over 17,000 call numbers were

corrected. The Symphony server needed less

than five minutes to do those edits, and the

LOUIS Team spent no more than a few hours

on the project, thanks to the timely responses

and work on the part of Chuck and his

colleagues at ULM. Or as Chuck put it,

"suddenly, a nagging burden has been lifted,

and we can be confident that all hidden call

numbers have been brought to light. It could

have taken us months more to discover and

edit them by hand. Thank you LOUIS!"

So what did those corrections look like? In

one scenario, the unwelcome space occurred

between the initial letter or letters and the

subsequent number or numbers. Examples:

In the more common scenario, there was an

undesirable space before the dot that follows

the initial letters and numbers. Examples:

The LOUIS Team is always delighted to help

with data cleanup projects. Whether you need

work on your call numbers, user records,

MARC data, or something else, please

consider asking your system admin to open a

Footprint incident describing your needs.

Meet Our New Library Relations Manager for SirsiDynix!

Our SirsiDynix Library Relations Manager

by Cathy Sicard, LOUIS

All SirsiDynix customers have a Library Rela-

tions Manager (LRM). The SirsiDynix LRM

team consists of librarians and experienced

staff who know the company and the chal-

lenges libraries face. They serve as advocates

to help ensure customers are leveraging their

technology to its fullest potential and that

specific needs are understood and incorpo-

rated into upcoming releases of the software

and service offerings.

Our LRMs over the years have:

pulled together all necessary internal re-

sources from support, sales, develop-

ment, etc. to address our needs;

helped ensure that large projects are car-

ried out smoothly with the right players

on the project team;

represented us and our specific needs in-

ternally in terms of how these impact

technology roadmaps and future service

offerings;

kept us up-to-date on SirsiDynix’s future

plans, training offerings, user group

meetings, and other opportunities to

learn and remain engaged;

and helped ensure that we remained rele-

vant with newer technology offerings.

For the past 6 years, our LRM has been Lisa

Witteman, who many of you know and have

worked with over the years.

Lisa was an engaged participant at all LOUIS

System Administrators meetings, the LOUIS

Users Conference, and LOUIS Symphony

sharing sessions. She went above and beyond

the basic LRM offerings by sharing her 23

years of expert experience in the area of

Symphony WorkFlows, especially

with the Acquisitions module,

through conference calls and one-

on-one sessions with LOUIS sites.

Thank you Lisa! We will miss

you!

In January, SirsiDynix assigned LOUIS a new

LRM. We have had several conference calls

with Kathi, and the various groups she has as-

sembled on our behalf, to work through the

roll-out of BLUEcloud Campus products to

LOUIS members. We look forward to many

productive years with Kathi!
