We surveyed academic libraries with an IR in Texas, and asked both library administrators and IR managers about their efforts to promote and grow their IR in both size and downloads. In addition, we studied the websites of Association of Research Libraries and Texas academic libraries to see how other institutions place links to their IRs on the websites and name them in different ways to draw attention. We probed and discuss findings regarding active marketing to faculty in order to grow the IR size, and passive promotion efforts such as linking on the library website, custom branding to help people find and remember the IR, and so on. We found that most marketing was geared towards faculty, and little active marketing efforts were made to the end-users.Item Learning Analytics and Privacy: A Library Perspective(Internet Reference Services Quarterly, 2021-07-26) Hwang, Soo-yeon; Hanson, MichaelThis column discusses learning analytics in higher education, including the involvement of academic libraries, privacy concerns, and some elements to consider when developing and deploying learning analytics systems ethically.Item Use and Non-Use of Academic Ebooks a Decade Later [Survey Instrument](2023) Owens, Erin; Hwang, Soo-yeon; Kim, Dianna; Manolovitz, Tyler; Shen, LisaItem What Do You Want from Us? Evaluating Student Interest in Technology-Based Services in Academic Libraries(College & Research Libraries, 2019) Elkins, Susan; Hwang, Soo-yeon; Kim, Dianna; Manolovitz, Tyler; Mueller, Kat Landry; Owens, ErinFollowing two previous studies in 2010 and 2013, this study intends to identify current trends of Sam Houston State University students’ technology and communication needs and preferences regarding library services and resources. Drawing comparisons to two previous local studies and national datasets, such as those from Pew Internet Research and the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR), the findings revealed, among other things, a decline in tablet usage and interest, continued need for library computers, and a complex relationship between social media usage and engagement with the library. The results of this survey will inform and guide the library and the profession to most efficiently and effectively offer desired library services and engage students on appropriate social media platforms.
