MORNING
GENERAL SESSION
10:15am-11:30am
Teaching INNOPAC Searching to Library Users
PRESENTER: Jan Malcheski, Reference Librarian, Archbishop John
Ireland Library, University of St. Thomas
Most current online public catalogs have moved "online"
into a very different world than the offline world in which they
were, slowly, over decades, cunningly built to reside - a different
world made up of Googles and Amazon.coms. This presentation
looks at issues related to teaching these "different world"
patrons how to use the Innovative public catalog. The presenter
will delve into such issues as how we can catalog with the user
experience in mind and what we can learn from Amazon.com and Google
to improve our public catalogs.

-Expanding the WebPAC with Z39.50
Presenters: Steve Waage, Systems Administrator,
CLIC Consortium and Jan Malcheski,Reference Librarian,
Archbishop John Ireland Library, University of St. Thomas
An overview of the basics of setting up and configuring
Innovative's Z39.50 client for use with the WebPAC,
this session will highlight a project within the CLIC consortium
where the Z39.50 client was used to create
a "shared" catalog for theology libraries within the Twin
Cities.
-How Authority Records Saved My Life: Authority
Records & the WebPAC
Presenters: Susan Henry, Cataloging Supervisor,
Saint Paul Public Library and John Larson, Web
Librarian, Saint Paul
Public Library
Authority records enable librarians to provide
uniform access to materials in library catalogs and to provide
clear identification of authors and subject headings. Authority
records also provide cross references to lead
users to the headings used in library catalogs.This session is an
examination of how authority records affect searching
in the Innovative WebPAC.
2:00pm-2:50pm
-Tap the Power of AVS
Presenters: Jerry Caswell, Head of Library
Information Technologies, Univ of Northern Iowa Library
and John Wynstra, Library
Information Systems Specialist, Univ of Northern Iowa Library
Advanced Keyword Searching has brought a
lot of power to the WebPAC. However, users do not know how
to tap that power to effectively serve their research needs. The
Univ of Northern Iowa Library has introduced
both predefined and guided searches into its new Library Gateway
to tap the power of AVS and to leverage
the library's investment in its catalog as the database of record
for both print and electronic resources.
-Tools for Use With Exported Records from the
WebPAC: RefWorks & EndNote
Presenters: Beth Hillemann, Reference/Instruction
Librarian, Macalester College Library and Kris MacPherson,
Reference/Instruction Librarian, St Olaf College
The Innovative WebPac allows users to create a
list of selected Bibliographic records (a bibliography) while
performing a search in the Web OPAC and export those records for
use elsewhere. This session will cover the basics
of this capability and will also highlight the tools used by some
libraries in the area to create "added value"
to this capability: RefWorks and EndNote.
