Journal Articles in 2-4 Clicks
Presenter: Eleonora Dubicki and Jessica Unger, Monmouth University Library.
- Abstract:The
vast number of electronic resources available to users in most academic
libraries have provided users with access to a wealth of
information, but have also made finding full-text copies of articles
a daunting task. During the summer of 2004, Monmouth University implemented
Serial Solutions' Article Linker, an OpenURL link resolver, to facilitate
user access to full-text journals articles in any of the Library's databases.
This poster session will discuss:
* service introduction to users
* user response
* customizing service with a "GET ARTICLE" icon
* examples of implementation in databases
* customizing interface screen, including creating a link for ILL requests
* technical issues faced in implementing a service that is not completely
seamless among aggregators.
Webliographies: Leaping 'Beyond Google' in a Single Bound
Presenter: Caroline Geck, Craig Anderson, and Chrisler Pitts, Kean University
Library.
- Abstract: The poster session will cover the advantages of curriculum
focused webliographies (web based curriculum resources). In contrast
to Google and other search engines, these library sponsored webliographies
will increase the likelihood of patrons identifying relevant, free
online resources quickly and efficiently.
NJLA Technical Services Section: Come Learn and Grow with
Us
Presenter: Mary Marks, Head of Technical Services, Fairleigh Dickinson
University Library; Adele Barree, Somerset County Library System; Marcia
Lubansky, Bernards Township Library.
- Abstract: The poster session will
describe the accomplishments of the NJLA Technical Services Section,

Jersey City: Past and Present Website Project
Presenter: Patrick Shalhoub, Head, Periodicals & Government Documents
Department, Congressman Frank J. Guarini Library, New Jersey City University;
Carmela A. Karnoutsos PhD. Professor of History, New Jersey City University.
- Abstract:
The poster session will highlight the features of an online encyclopedia-styled
resource focusing on the local history of Jersey
City, NJ. The web site is a resource for New Jersey teachers and students
and all those with an interest in local and state history. It may be
used in the teaching of the history of New Jersey and to bring a history
of the community into classrooms via the Internet. The topical entries
describe places, events and persons significant to Jersey City. Each
entry is illustrated with images "past and present," where
appropriate, and many entries are supplemented with other visuals such
as maps. The entries are linked to a chronology, providing an overview
of the more than 350-year history of Jersey City. The project was partially
funded by a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission. See the

Creating Our Future - Creating Library Leaders for the
21st Century
Presenter: Marilyn Wilt, Training and Learning Coordinator, Rutgers University

Libraries, addressing
the needs of everyone in the Libraries' community: faculty librarians;

- Abstract: The Consumer
Health Committee of the Health Sciences Library Association of New
Jersey (HSLANJ) recently posted a survey on listservs
of the four New Jersey regional library cooperatives. The purpose of
the survey was to learn about the provision of consumer health information
in public libraries and the level of interest on the part of public
librarians in continuing education opportunities in the area of consumer
health.
Over 250 responses were received. The results of the survey and the
plans of the HSLANJ Consumer Health Committee developed from those results
will be presented in this poster session.
