Hi!


I'm a new member to this Group and would like to ask a question:

What policies do members have for their Alumni, specifically, if Alumni
can use the Library free of charge or for a cost and if they have
borrowing privileges from the Library?


We're discussing this now in our Library Committee.


Thanks for your help!

Just an early reminder that the Library group will meet at the CCAOM
conference in San Francisco, which takes place between April 30th and
May 3rd.  No final arrangements have been announced regarding specific
time and place.

It is not too early to think about agenda items.  One item will
probably revolve around the recent controversies on the DAOM program
and the ACAOM decision.

I am forwarding through a separate e-mail a revised document written in
response to the Portland Meeting regarding requirements for information
services.

here is the document:

February 27, 2008

Proposals for library collection development.

Adequate informational material is an important part of the teaching
mission of schools of Oriental Medicine. Equally important is the
arrangement of and access to this material. Here are some
suggestions for developing and maintaining such a collection.

Size of the collection.
The collection of materials in all formats should be sufficient to
support the needs of faculty and students and be consistent with the
mission statement of the institution. Some items are required as
part of the teaching curriculum, others support general research or
clinic needs.

Access to the collection.
The collection should be readily accessible to users. There must be
a system in place to put each item in its proper place on the shelf
and some means to have a data base sufficient to categorize, find and
account for the material. This usually means a computer-based file
of some kind. Such a file should have at least these characteristics:
*adequate power to properly provide sufficient information on each
item.
*be flexible and capable of dealing with increasing amounts of data
as the collection grows. A filing system for 40 to 100 items can be
fairly simple, but will probably be unable to support a larger
collection.
*be based on standard library cataloging practices to a high degree
in both description of a given item and a classification scheme which
places items on the shelf in a coherent manner.

In general it is best to think of future growth when starting up or
expanding a collection. It is easier to build an adequate
classification system for even a small collection rather than have to
retrofit a collection later on. This applies to allocation of
physical space as well.

Data-base requirements.
Each item should have a file record using all of the
following "fields"
*main author
*title
*physical description, e.g. 241 p.; ill., 23 cm; 1 tape, analog, 30
cm.
*a main subject upon which the classification number is based
*classification ("call") number
*subjects(multiple fields may be needed)
*isbn or issn number
*additional authors (may be optional)
Other items which may be part of the record:
**series
**corporate authors or schools associated with the item
**accompanying material, e.g. CDRom, CD,etc.

The fields with a single * should be indexed and searchable.

These fields should adhere to standard cataloging procedures embodied
in the Library of Congress Machine Readable format. Subject headings
should follow guidelines provided by the Library of Congress of the
National Medical Library.

Generally it is advisable to use one of the standard classification
schemes for the "call" number:
*Dewey decimal system-used in most public libraries; most medical
material is put into a relatively small range of numbers.
*Library of Congress and National Medical library classifications use
letters and number combinations and have more flexibility. NML use
Library of Congress numbers except for medicine.. See sample below.

Subject: Acupuncture
Dewey: 615
Library of Congress RM184
National Medical Library: WB369

Online help is available for finding the correct number for each
subject. National Medical library provides the most complete
classification help.

A key criterion in selecting a database system is portability. Data
in the system should be in such a format or be formatable to transfer
to a different database. This is important because at some point it
may be desirable to go from a small system file such as Excell to a
more standard library vendor file such as Surpass or LibraryWorld.

It is probably best to use an internet based system as the collection
grows. Internet based systems provide these advantages:
*access from in the library or remotely.
*no need for dedicated servers and storage devices.
There is of course some loss of control over the data and one must
rely on the internet vendor for reliable storage. In case of an
internet connection failure, your database will not be available.

Some online library internet vendors:
http://libraryworld.net
LibraryWorld is based in Saratoga, California. One month free trial;
from $365 a year.
http://www.surpasssoftware.com
Surpass offers a variety of packages, also one month free trial.
http://www.cybertoolsforlibraries.com
CyberTools is probably more suited for larger collections. Some free
trials may be available.

Sample catalogued records with full MARC fields and LC or NML
classification numbers can be viewed on the Five Branches University
website http://www.fivebranches.edu. Go to the student life button,
click on library in the pull down menu and you will find a link to
the online catalog. Other information will also be found this page
regarding other information sources.

Standardized terminology and practices.
Using a standardized terminology set is important for classifying and
finding materials. Most libraries use either Library of Congress or
National Medical Library subject headings. Further documentations
will go into more detail on this matter. Here is an example:

subject: Theory and practice of medicine in China:

Library of Congress basic heading: Medicine, Chinese.

National Medical Library: Medicine, Chinese Traditional.

Subject headings and author entries usually have these inverted
headings:
Peter Deadman is listed as Deadman. Peter. etc.

Some tips for cataloging an item:
Look for a catalog record for a given item in another database rather
than trying to do it from scratch. Copying a record that fits the
local library's criteria saves time and insures a more uniform
description between schools. If your library software allows for
copying Library of Congress records, do so. You can modify the LC
record for your own needs and save it in your database.




Consistency in data management.
Consistency in entering data is important in providing assured
electronic access to materials in the collection. it is desirable
that one person have this responsibility at any given time to set
standards and direct helping personnel. Written protocols and manuals
are a vital tool in maintaining continuity.

Security.
It is probably inevitable that some materials will go missing. Here
are some considerations regarding security of the collection.
a. adequate inventory control. The database should provide an
accurate list of materials and ideally a report for assisting in
taking account of what is on the shelf.
b. education of patrons in the value of honoring the collection and
enhancing the sense that the library materials are for everyone to
use. Promotion of mutual help and respect among users will go a long
way to maintaining the integrity of the collection.
c. Size of library and budget considerations. Security systems are
relatively expensive. For a small collection the cost to benefit
ratio is probably minimal. Better to allow for an amount for
replacement of lost items. As a collection grows, security will
become more cost effective and even necessary. The 3M company offers
a security system for around $12,000. Establishment of any security
system should be based on present needs and flexibility to meet future
developments.
Circulation.
Unless the materials are available for use only in the library space,
there must be a means to account for items which users take out for
personal use. Most library-oriented database programs have a
circulation module for registering patrons, checking items in and out,
assessing fines etc. If you using a database without a dedicated
circulation module, you will have to develop some other means to
account for checked out materials. Libraries traditionally used a due
date card system manually sorted and maintained. This may work for a
small collection but becomes labor intensive and fraught with
potential errors as the collection grows.

If you have any questions or comments. please send to
library@... or post to the CCAOMLCAOM group.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question!   I really appreciate
it and there were many good ideas!


I think for the present, I shall continue to let Alumni use the
Library, but not be able to check out materials, since our Library is
small and we would run the risk of losing materials and not be able to
replace them.   The final decision will be decided by our Library
Committee, but this would be my recommendation.


I have one more question for you.   I am in the process of deciding
which Library Software system would be best for us at Emperors.   We
have about 3,000 items in our collection, some AVs, and I've been
looking at LibraryWorld and Cybertools.   I'm not sure if I can justify
the expense of Cybertools right now, although I do like it very much.
Which system would be the best to have, if we have a Union Catalog
together eventually?   Also, is there a Security system that you could
recommend that might complement one of the Library software systems.


Thanks for all of your wonderful advice!

Thanks Jim!   Those are the 2 we are looking at and LibraryWorld seems to meet our needs too.   May I ask you how large your collection is?   I have about 3,000 volumes in Emperors.

at fivebranches university we use libraryworld.net, an internet based software provider.  the system is adequate for cateloging, serials and circulations modules, has limited report capability(we have the low end price at 365 per year). more expensive versions have more report facility.  other libraries are using a more expensive system called cyberworld.. you can look at both of these systems by googling these system terms.

Thank you, Jim.  I'm afraid that I won't be able to attend the meeting in San
Francisco.  I would really like to meet all of you, but I can't this year.

I am happy to provide the information you requested, but I'm wondering if you
want the stats for the whole collection and student body or just for the AOM
materials and students?

Thanks.

Dear LCAOM Members:

 

            This will follow-up from a previous e-mail I recently sent to the committee in response to Dan’s query below about the possibility of having a conference call phone device in the LCAOM committee room in San Francisco.  After checking with the hotel, the charges for renting a conference phone device for the committee meeting, and particularly the long distance line charges that would have to be paid by the Council (billed by the hotel) for the length of the meeting, would be beyond what the Council has budgeted for this meeting.  The hotel advises that it would be necessary for the committee and each outside caller to dial-in to a conference call vendor with an assigned number and password.  The CCAOM Executive Committee does this periodically when it meets by conference call and the charges for only an hour or so can be substantial.  LCAOM is scheduled to meet for 3 ½ hours.

 

I am sorry that we cannot do this as I realize that many schools do not send their librarians to these meetings.   At the same time, the CCAOM Yahoo Group for LCAOM members is the most active of all the CCAOM Yahoo groups and perhaps through that forum committee members can move forward on the committee’s agenda.

 

Thanks,

David

Hi Jim and members of CCAOMLCAOM,

Here at NY Chiropractic College our AOM program has just been accredited.  We started the program in 2004. 

 

We want to participate in CCAOMLCAOM as much as possible, but we will be unable to attend the SF meeting, although traveling to SF for the meeting is very tempting.

 

If there is any way to arrange a conference call with members who are unable to attend, we would be happy to pay for our telecom charges.  Do you think the hotel would have a conference calling "telephone"?  If they did and I called the assigned conference call number then I think we'd be charged for the call (?)  Just a thought...

 

Anyway I will work on getting you the requested information. Thanks for your hard work on behalf of our AOM library mission.  Dan

Hello to all,
I will not be able to attend the meeting. Any chance that a webinar
(for example) could be set up? There are several who will not be
able to attend but are still interested.

Thanks to Jim for the many postings. I have found them to be very
helpful.

As for the request info. - here goes.
1. We do not have a research program or doctoral program here. We
have a masters level acupuncture and massage therapy (both Chinese
and Western) program.

2. Online journal and resource materials: I found that Association
of Academic and Research Libraries (ACRL) has an extensive
collection of suggested internet resources posted for Complementary
and alternative medicine. I am wanting to set up a library website,
within the the school's website, that can include these suggested
links as additional resources.

3. I for one am benefiting from this group collaboration.

4. I prefer the idea of moving on into online catalog versus the
unionization method. I am still trying to get approval to post the
catalog online.

5. Collection: Covers all programs offered here.
Approx. 1,000 titles plus journals and a small AV collection.

6. Catolog software, currently, is ResourceMate 2.0 (I do not
recommend!!)

7. Staff: I am solo librarian (currently a MLIS student). I also
double as the school's admin. assistant.

8. Student enrollment is 200.

Hope that helps!
