We are pleased to announce that the six academic institutions that comprise Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) have completed contracts to join the Consortium of MnPALS Libraries. CLIC shares a catalog of 2,957,823 records in Ex Libris’ Alma/Primo VE, the same system used by MnPALS.  The system migration will begin in March, and the institutions will go live on the MnPALS environment in Summer 2021.  As part of this strategic transition, the CLIC consortium will officially dissolve on August 31, 2021.

 

“Considering the changes in higher education that have and will take place, CLIC member libraries have decided that now is the right time to join a larger network of libraries: the MnPALS Consortium. A move to the MnPALS Consortium, which shares similar goals, provides an opportunity for continued excellent, collaborative, and cost-efficient service. Together, we benefit our communities by sharing collections, resources, and technology.” – Ruth McGuire, CLIC Board President and Director of Library Services, University of Northwestern-St. Paul.

 

Founded in 1969, CLIC has worked throughout its history to enhance the strengths of its member libraries through a shared catalog and collections, an inter-campus courier, and cooperative approaches to provision of services and professional development. Over the years an effective balance of independence and interdependence has been a catalyst for technical exploration and innovation, excellent service to students and faculty, and the enrichment of well-trained and highly collaborative staffs.

 

Since 1979, the PALS Office has supported the Consortium of MnPALS Libraries’ use of a variety of software platforms, currently Alma/Primo VE, EZproxy, SubjectsPlus, and Islandora. “The PALS team and the members of MnPALS are excited to welcome CLIC to the consortium and look forward to working together. The CLIC libraries have a reputation for collaboration that will bring tremendous value to MnPALS.” – Johnna Horton, Executive Director of PALS.

Amy ShawWe’re excited that one of our own, Amy Shaw, Head of Archives and Special Collections at St. Kate’s, has written a book that has just been released:
Ole Henricks and His Tunebook: Folk Music and Community on the Frontier.

Published by the UW Press, this study of a fiddling farmer from rural Minnesota even includes musical transcriptions of more than 100 of his dance tunes!

“The story of Ole Hendricks provides a valuable and grounded glimpse of music and social life in rural America in the nineteenth century, bringing into focus the long-overlooked importance of commonplace books—that is, handwritten music notebooks—in the performance and preservation of traditional music.”
—Paul Tyler, Old Town School of Folk Music

It is available through many of our local bookstores’ websites:

Linda Rust

The University of Northwestern, St. Paul announces the retirement of Linda Rust from the Berntsen Library at the University of Northwestern – St Paul.  Linda began working at the Library in August 1979, and over the course of her career, she has devoted 32 years of service to Northwestern.

Linda began her career overseeing the print periodicals collection. When she returned to full-time work in 2005, she again assumed responsibility for developing the serials collection as well as managing electronic serials and databases.  Her position also included reference service with students and liaison work with faculty, including library instruction. Outside of Northwestern, she was the volunteer coordinator of the Duplicate Exchange Service for the Association of Christian Librarians.  She also has actively participated in the Serials, Electronic Resources, and Collection Development committees of CLIC.

Northwestern and the Berntsen Library have been blessed by Linda’s many years of service.  Professionally, her steady dedication, her talent for detail, and her pleasant manner with students and colleagues have been valuable assets.  Personally, because of her quiet kindness and caring, she has cultivated cohesion among the library staff, and she has been an example of servant leadership to the many students and faculty she has helped over the years. We will greatly miss Linda’s presence and her professionalism. We wish her all the best in her retirement.

Please join with us in celebrating Linda by sending well wishes to her email, lorust@unwsp.edu, by July 17.

About the Presenters:

 Nicole Coleman is Digital Research Architect for the Stanford University Libraries and Research Director for Humanities+Design, a research lab at the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis. Nicole works at the intersection of the digital library and digital scholarship as a lead architect in the design and development of practical research services. She is currently leading an initiative within the Library to identify and enact applications of artificial intelligence —machine perception, machine learning, machine reasoning, and language recognition— to make the collections of maps, photographs, manuscripts, data sets and other assets more easily discoverable, accessible, and analyzable. Nicole’s publications.

At Humanities + Design she has led the design and development of numerous tools for data visualization and analysis including Palladio, Breve, and, most recently, Data Pen. The lab encourages and supports collaboration between researchers from the humanities and design to encode interpretive method in tools for data analysis. Lessons learned in that work have proven essential to designing human-centered applications of machine intelligence in support of research.

Richard C. Belanger is SVP & GM, ProQuest Books. Over the last few years, advances in AI/ML powered by cloud-computing have transformed the landscape. As a large content aggregator, ProQuest has been experimenting with many approaches to enhance their products using these new tools. At this session, Rich will share their experiences and high-level overview of their future plans.

 Lizzy Baus is the Cataloging & Metadata Education Librarian for Minitex. She provides all sorts of continuing education for tech services professionals, both in person and online, on various topics related to cataloging and metadata. She holds an MLIS and a Master’s in Linguistics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The main idea of Linked Data is to connect things in meaningful ways (at the most basic level). If the idea of Artificial Intelligence is to make meaningful connections, then it seems the two are made to work together. Lizzy Baus will discuss some of the ways in which LD and AI can work together and offer examples of relevant projects.

Brad Hokanson is the Mertie W. Buckman Professor of Design Education at the University of Minnesota. He has received multiple teaching awards and has a diverse academic record, including degrees in Art, Architecture, and Urban Design, and a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology. Brad is the author of Developing Creative Thinking Skills: an Introduction for Learners (2018) and other books.

We are pleased to announce that Kim Salzer of Hamline University Library and Archives is the winner of the 2018 CLIC User Service Award.  Kim has served on many CLIC committees, COIs, and task forces during her 15 years working at Hamline University, first in the Law Library and then in Bush Library. At CLIC, she has been a member of  Acquisitions, Circulation, Batch Loading, Resource Sharing Task Force, Reserves, Cataloging, Authority Control, and most recently, the Interlibrary Loan Group, among others.

Kim is always willing to lend a hand to help others in the consortium. CLIC colleagues are appreciative of Kim’s eye for detail, smart spreadsheets, fabulous documentation, and her thoughtful conversation and contributions.  Kim is a hard worker who can be counted on to get things done and keep things in order. Her contributions shine from all the hard work she puts into her job on a daily basis. Her work in Hamline’s Resource and Acquisition Management Department helps patrons at all our libraries locate well maintained records and collections that serve all CLIC members. All CLIC libraries are fortunate to call her one of our own: Hamline wishes they could clone Kim, and other CLIC members wish they could steal her away!

Congratulations, Kim! You are well-deserving of the CLIC User Service Award.

 

The Research & Instruction COI won the Group Effectiveness Award for their amazing, collaborative work on the 2018 Unconference on Reimagining the Academic Library. COI members awarded this honor include: Bethel – Earleen Warner, Scott Kaihoi, Serena Giese; Concordia – Nathan Rinne; Hamline – Kristofer Scheid, Kimberly Feilmeyer; Northwestern – Jessica Moore; St. Kate’s – Lizzy Tegeler, Sue Gray; and UST – Talia Nadir, Marianne Hageman, Trent Brager.

After the “Year of Reimagining the Academic Library” was announced in the fall of 2017, the Research & Instruction COI volunteered to lead a project to engage CLIC member library staff in reading and discussing David Lewis’ book. The COI’s project consisted of three steps: (1) encouraging CLIC member library staff to read the book, including setting up a message board for discussion, (2) planning and conducting an Unconference based on the book topics, and (3) following up the Unconference with presentations at the CLIC Annual Conference and the Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference.

The Unconference was highly successful, with more than 60 people in attendance, including a number from institutions outside of CLIC. The COI collected the documentation from the Unconference and made it available to all of CLIC via Google Drive. This documentation was also shared with keynote presenter David Lewis, who incorporated it into his program at CLIC’s Annual Conference. Members of the COI also presented at CLIC’s Conference and at MLA in the fall of 2018.

The Unconference was a success due to the innovation, creativity, organization, and collaborative work of the COI, and we applaud the COI’s willingness and inventiveness in trying new things. This was the first time for CLIC to host an Unconference, and the COI did wonders in organizing the event, even though many were unfamiliar with the format going into the project. The COI also branched out with their creative, eye-catching marketing messages. Their marketing campaign served both to boost attendance at the Unconference and to ignite lively conversation among member library staff about reimagining the future of academic libraries.

CLIC courier James Peterson was given an honorary award to recognize his many years of consistently reliable and friendly service to CLIC member libraries.

James’ positive energy and strong work ethic serve to strengthen the connections between CLIC libraries.

 


Kao Kalia Yang, author of The Latehomecomer, was our fabulous luncheon speaker. Kalia touched our hearts with a fantastic, poetic, and inspiring talk interspersed with readings from her books. She stayed to sign books and chat with members after her presentation.

 

 

 

And finally, a big thank you to Maureen Fitzgerald of CLIC and Ruth McGuire of University of Northwestern-St. Paul for their amazing work on local arrangements to create a festive atmosphere for our annual awards event. Thank you, too, to Karen Batdorf of UST for her generous onsite help every year!
