Item Open Access Academic Library Sessions: Experiences and Challenges of Nazarbayev University Library(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Zvonareva, Darya; Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access Academic Library Sessions: Experiences and Challenges of Nazarbayev University Library(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Zvonareva, Darya; Yap, Joseph M.The Reference Department of the Nazarbayev University Library is responsible for the development and delivery of library sessions and workshops. These are offered as part of the educational process and partnership in supporting curricular and research needs as well as to enhance the lifelong learning experience of our library users. The following categories of sessions are provided: library orientation, instruction sessions, information sessions and publishers/partners sessions. These sessions will ultimately become part of the structured information literacy program of the library. The paper seeks to describe, evaluate and assess the library sessions and workshops conducted in 2017. The paper also defines the challenges faced by librarians in conducting the sessions. Another objective is to identify improvements for raising effectiveness in organizing and delivering the library sessions.Item Restricted Adapting Statistics and Query-Tracking Tools for Reference Services: Nazarbayev University Library Case Study(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Terzi, Paschalia; Kamilova, YelizavetaItem Open Access Adapting Statistics and Query-Tracking Tools for Reference Services: Nazarbayev University Library Case Study(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Terzi, Paschalia; Kamilova, YelizavetaThe purpose of this paper is to show how Nazarbayev University Library (NUL), a small-sized academic library located in Central Asia and operating in a nonwestern, post-Soviet environment uses software tools, specifically Gimlet, Reference Analytics and Query Spy, to gather statistics on reference interactions, both virtual and face-to-face, to drive decision making. The specific objectives are as follows: to describe how the above mentioned tools adapted to the local environment and needs of the Nazarbayev University Library; and, discuss if and how decision making in NUL can be improved using these tools as well as providing suggestions and recommendations for libraries in Central Asia thinking of adapting these tools to their needs. The authors believe that the topic of this article, specifically adapting technologies in libraries, is closely related to the themes of the conference, especially to trends and tools in academic library services.Item Open Access Bibliographic Description of Documents in the Historical Context(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Tukubayeva, KarimaBibliographic description as a result of the centuries-old knowledge of the document at various stages of development is the basis of bibliographic information and one of the points of access to information resources. The aim of this paper is to reveal the peculiarities of the development of the bibliographic description of documents at various historical stages and to determine ways of improving bibliographic description on the basis of world trends. The study used comparative analysis of the experience of some countries in the development of standardization in the field of cataloging. The history of the bibliographic description has evolved in accordance with the trend of the times, adapting to new technologies and social demands of the scientific community. The whole historical development of the bibliographic description led to the need for its standardization. The most important problem was the development of unified international standards for bibliographic description and the alignment of national standards with international standards. Using a single method of bibliographic description unifies approaches in the field of cataloging information resources. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that it reveals the essence of bibliographic description and the principles of its compilation. The historical and methodological aspects of the bibliographic description of the document are investigated beginning with its inception in antiquity and ending – in contemporary times. Practical significance and implementation of the research results consist in determining trends and prospects for the modern development of bibliographic description.Item Open Access Challenges of International Librarians: Knowledge Sharing from Filipino Librarians Working Across Asia(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Cruz III, Ricardo; Cruz, Karen Vanessa; Yap, Joseph M.The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Student Learning and Information Literacy Committee (SLILC) recently published a white paper on Global Perspectives on Information Literacy: Fostering a Dialogue for International Understanding with a chapter focused on Asia and Oceania. In that chapter Dorner (2017) has argued that some teaching tools developed by Western countries may not be appropriate for Asian countries. In particular he noted that Sri Lankan and Vietnamese academic librarians have a lower status compared to academic staff and that this kind of perception may lead to an unsuccessful working relationship that would in turn hinder student learning since Information Literacy (IL) involves working closely with faculty, teachers or tutors. Librarians have always struggled to be recognized as part of the team to hone student academic performance. This paper will provide information literacy strategies and partnerships involving Filipino librarians working across Asia. As Filipino educators with their own cultural backgrounds and limitations, how can they best fit in their international working environment? How do they initiate collaboration with the faculty members and teachers? What were the cultural challenges and factors before and during the implementation of an IL program and how were they able to cope with it? What IL standards or models are they following to make their IL programs effective? How supportive is the administration in their programs? These are just some of the questions that the paper will try to answer in the three Asian countries described below.Item Open Access Challenges of International Librarians: Knowledge Sharing from Filipino Librarians Working Across Asia(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Cruz III, Ricardo; Cruz, Karen; Yap, Joseph M.Item Open Access Cooperative collection development and research services(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Spencer, George AndrewItem Open Access Cooperative Collection Development and Research Services: Past, Present and Future(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Spencer, George AndrewThe future direction of research libraries clearly lies in increasing cooperation with other research libraries. This paper surveys the history of American cooperative collection programs, such as the Farmington Plan, the Research Libraries Group (RLG) Conspectus, the Library of Congress Cooperative Acquisition Program (LC– CAP), and the activities of the Center for Research Libraries as well as more recent examples such as the resource sharing program within the University of Wisconsin (UW) System, and the UNC–Chapel Hill – Duke University cooperative Africana collection. The paper explores some of the methodologies and technologies used to facilitate cooperative initiatives between libraries at the regional, national and international level. Examples include: OCLC Worldcat; shared regional system library catalogs such as the UW System’s Ex Libris Alma based catalog, and shared acquisition systems such as YBP-Gobi used by the UNC–Chapel Hill – Duke University project. The paper also examines potential areas for future collaboration and cooperation, for example in cooperative research services. The paper also discusses issues that may hinder the development and future success of cooperative initiatives. The paper examines the need for a shared understanding of collective and institutional collection priorities and philosophies between institutional partners. Of crucial importance in this regard is developing a shared understanding of the appropriate balance between usage-driven acquisitions policies and the collection of infrequently used research-level materials.Item Open Access If you want to go fast: walk alone If you want to walk far: walk together(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Bon, IngridItem Open Access If you want to go fast: walk alone, if you want to go far: walk together(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Bon, IngridThe Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals offer big opportunities to libraries and more specific to public libraries.

Tremendous change in libraries had happened for the last decade. The conference aims to recognize some of the best practices and strategies of libraries in terms of introducing new tools and technologies in the delivery of credible sources and ethical content. It will also identify emerging trends in mobile environments, and understand the value of having diverse management and leadership styles. These changes have helped transform the communities libraries serve in their daily lives. Libraries play a crucial role in information support for learning and research that are considered as driving forces on the development of the society. It is with great pleasure that we invite local and foreign librarians to participate in this annual conference in Astana. May we all have a fruitful exchange of knowledge and ideas for the development of libraries in Kazakhstan and the whole of Central Asia and beyond.Item Open Access Libraries and Its Role inTransforming Societies: Strategies and Trends(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Luyt, Brendan; Kim, Karryl SagunItem Open Access Libraries and Women Empowerment: Advancing Women and their Stories for Planet 50–50 by 2030(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Kamilova, YelizavetaItem Open Access Lifelong Learning: A Landmark for Personal Development and New Opportunities for Modernization of a University Library(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Daribayeva, Gulshat; Utebaliyeva, PerizatThe article is devoted to the role of the university library in supporting and developing lifelong education for different segments of society.

Considering the functioning “American Corner and Maker Space Astana” as one of the modern phenomena of social development, the authors of the article suggest looking at its experience in organizing all of its activities. This article will analyze activities, the survey results of users, the results of observations, as well as the success stories that have influenced the personal growth and success of its visitors (teachers, students and other categories of users).Item Open Access Passport Global Market Information Database, Innovative Modelling, and Scenarios Simulation Tools(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Bondarenko, EcaterinaItem Open Access Preservation and Strengthening of the Health of the Librarian in Modern Conditions(7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Mook, DomininaA combination of features of library labor: the need to quickly and clearly think, analyze and make decisions; communicate with different people, manage an excess of textual information; as well as the instability of the pace and rhythm of work, and the high degree of physical activity poses a number of threats to work and health. The use of modern equipment leads not only to a change in the functional duties of workers, but also to the emergence of sources of danger. And as a result of constant communication with users demonstrating the whole spectrum of psych-emotional states – the threat of stress. New forms of activity affect the psychology and consciousness of people ultimately, changing them. The main goal of labor protection of a librarian is to save the life and health of the librarian in the process of his professional activity.
