What’s in a Name? Using Card Sorting to Evaluate Branding in an Academic Library’s Web Site

by Peter Hepburn

Co-authored with Krystal M. Lewis.  Published in College & Research Libraries, May 2008, Vol. 69, No. 3

Usability testing at one academic library demonstrated how the card sorting technique can be used to evaluate branding efforts.The study found that library users do not recognize or comprehend library brand names in the absence of a consistent approach to branding even if they do use the services that have been branded.

Through this initiative, the Libraries have begun to provide open access (OA) journal hosting, archiving, and support services at no cost to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s (UNCG) academic community. In order to provide working examples of this new publishing enterprise, this chapter will also look specifically at the creation and development of one new OA journal that is being led by University Libraries faculty: the Journal of Learning Spaces. Details of both the Journal of Learning Spaces and the Libraries’ broader publishing project are discussed, including the entrepreneurial aspects of these undertakings, how each began, where each project stands as of this writing, and what will come next. The authors also share their personal perspectives on how these projects have fared so far, summarize their lessons learned, and suggest how others might follow in this path.

Leadership trajectory: did the Aurora Leadership Institute make a difference?

by Kim Tairi

Paper presented at the 15th ALIA Information Online Conference and Exhibition, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 01-03 February 2011

Since then many librarians and others who work in the information industry have completed the program. As a 2006 graduate who made life changing decisions post-Aurora, I have often reflected on whether going to Aurora changed or boosted my leadership trajectory and whether other Aurorans had experiences similar to mine. Last year, using surveys, interviews and focus groups, I asked Aurora graduates about their experiences post-Aurora and whether the program had equipped them to meet their own leadership aspirations and the expectations of their employers. I really wanted to know whether they perceived themselves as more effective leaders now and if the program had helped them along the way. This paper will present the findings of a small-scale study. Many of the stories told are quite personal. As expected a significant number of those who participated in the study have gone on to become senior managers. Some left the profession and others made momentous decisions about their professional and private lives. The study does however answer the question - did Aurora make a difference. Many of the participants are on their way to becoming leaders in the profession and others have arrived.
