Transcript of LOUIS Lagniappe Volume 2, Issue 4
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!

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.

During her time with the company, she has
held multiple positions in SirsiDynix opera-
tions and sales. Kathi says that due to the
opportunities to interact and find resolutions
to issues for her customers, the LRM position
has been her favorite role of her career so far.
Kathi loves to read (mostly on planes), cook
(and eat) and spend time with her family (1
husband, 2 kids, 1 cat and 1 pup-
py). Kathi has 23 years of library
industry experience, and looks
forward to meeting and working

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!
