Picture it—you are sitting in front of the computer and want to find a copy of your favorite Tolkien story, The Hobbit, in the catalog. You have typed Tolkien and Hobbit into your search and hit

enter. Your search results are less than helpful as it returns a slew of titles in various versions, languages, formats, and publication years. Now you are faced with the task of scrolling through the titles to find what you really wanted, which was, an animated video originally televised in the late 1970s. Wouldn't it be easier if the titles where

organized in a way so that you could rule out unnecessary formats, languages and dates? Luckily for you faceted searching exists in many catalogs which allows for this drill down approach, but the facets only work if the data it searches fits into the organization. For years, catalog records with this data have been created using a standard known as the

Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd ed. or AACR2. As technology has changed, so has the need to improve these rules so that catalogers can more accurately define what they are cataloging. For several years, the rules have needed to be overhauled and not just updated. Enter the FRBR, or Functional Requirement for Bibliographic Records, and RDA, or Resource, Description and Access, documents. FRBR introduced a theory by which a user could more easily find a "work" such as The

Hobbit in the animated "expression" which was actually "manifested" into a DVD reproduced by Warner Brothers in 2001, and is now available as an "item" sitting on the shelf in their local library. Work, expression, manifestation and item only make up a small part of FRBR but you can see how important making these distinctions are for users locating an item in the catalog.

In 2012, I began a group who met monthly to discuss FRBR and its implications on the catalog, but more specifically, we met to discuss RDA which would take the theory and put it into practice by focusing on how WEMI (work, expression, manifestation, and item) was defined for each record that we entered into the catalog. It was at these monthly meetings that we hashed out WEMI and the death of many rules that no longer served the user such as the "rule of three," abbreviations,

the use of Latin, and most importantly GMDs (general material designations). You know GMDs as those words representing format in brackets in the title such as "videorecording" or "electronic resource." RDA, which consists of more than just these examples, was tested and completed in 2012. In fact, the time for making preparations is now. The Library of Congress has introduced a

cut-off date of March 31, 2013, for creation of bibliographic records in the old AACR2 standard and will start solely creating records in the new content standard of RDA. As many US libraries, including ours, follow the Library of Congress in practices and standards, we know that we must gear ourselves, our catalog and our users for these changes. Knowing this, it is our goal to make the search experience more efficient and fruitful for our users and ourselves. We have spent hours educating, updating and

inquiring about RDA and FRBR and its impact at our meetings. Moreover, we wanted to share our experiences and what we have learned; therefore, a few colleagues and myself are currently writing a workbook which will help to aid those of you who do not know where to get started. We hope to have it submitted to the publisher this summer! We are excited for the ride and happy to know that RDA does not mean "retirement day approaching" for us.

~ Tech Talk

Tech Talk

Our Tech Talk columns usually are aimed at bringing you information from the areas

of technical services and systems. For this edition of Tech Talk I am going to take the opportunity to introduce myself, Michael Bobak, since I have just

recently moved into the position of Systems Librarian. I have a long history with technology that includes building PCs in my early teens, working as a PC

Technician, having a few IT certifications, helping to build an autonomous robot, and a plethora of other skills and experiences. I hope to bring

these assets to this position as I embark on this adventure into systems. I do have some goals I hope to accomplish in the first

year in this new position. One of my goals is to begin to explore and implement Google Scholar into our library services. In my

previous position as the Reference/Instruction Librarian, I realized many students and

library patrons expressed interest or stated they were frequent users of Google Scholar. Realizing there is a need to integrate Google

Scholar into our library services, I am excited to pursue this goal and make discoverability of Bellevue University Library’s resources even more accessible

to our students and patrons. Another one of my goals, which falls once again into the improved discoverability of the library’s resources, is to

develop and implement subject specific Discovery Search boxes for our academic subject webpages. These search boxes will help students and patrons to

hone their searches to resources that are only in the academic subject area they want to search within. This should make

searching within Discovery Search, especially when you are

looking for subject specific resources, far more efficient and speedier. These are just a few of the goals I hope to accomplish

as the Systems Librarian and I am sure I will be adding to this ever going list as time continues. I openly welcome students, faculty, and staff to ask me any

questions you may have about the world of systems in the library. I especially encourage students and patrons to provide me with feedback on the

library’s digital and computer services. I would love to hear any of your ideas, comments, suggestions, or if you really like a specific service and just want

to tell me how much you like it! I can be reached via email at michael.bobak@bellevue.edu, o r v i a t e l e p h o n e a t (402) 557-7317.

SUGGESTION: Could the library have recycle bins for plastic

bottles?

ANSWER: Thank you for the suggestion. While it is true that

we only carried recycled bins for paper in the past, on September 28, 2012, we placed a recycle bin in the

library for plastics, aluminum, cardboard, non-confidential

paper, etc. It is located in the refreshment area and has been receiving a lot of use.

P r o Q u e s t w a s probably the first library resource you were introduced to

and you know it as a great place to go for journal articles, but how much do you really know about ProQuest – that giant conglomerat ion of

databases? Take one look at all the ProQuest databases listed on the library Database Services page, and you will get a feel for the depth and

breadth of the content it provides. Its roots go back to the 1930s when it mainly preserved newspapers and dissertations on microfilm under the name

University Microfilms (UMI). As technology evolved, so did UMI and by the late 1980s, content was being provided on CD-ROMs in addition to

microfilm. About that time, it ventured beyond newspapers and dissertations and created the first full-image periodical database on CD-ROM. This was

cutting edge technology which delivered new CDs with updated content to libraries every month. On the cutting edge itself, the Bellevue

University Library was quick to embrace this CD-ROM service from ProQuest Direct, as it became known as in the mid-1990s. Soon after, it made the

leap to the Internet, where ProQuest Direct on the Web was named the Best Professional

Online Product for 1996. From there, it has grown mightily, acquiring all manner of products

and content along the way. True to its roots, ProQuest still provides databases dedicated to newspapers and dissertations, though it parted ways with its

original product when it sold its microfilm periodical business in 2005. Over the years, it was acquired by Xerox, Bell & Howell, and in 2007 by

Cambridge Information Group, its current owner, and has been known since then simply as ProQuest. Today, there are

dozens of databases under the ProQuest umbrella, and the library subscribes to many of them. You will see most of these listed under ProQuest on the

Database Services page, covering subjects that include business, computing, criminal justice, education, healthcare, psychology, social science,

religion, and more. Others are sprinkled throughout the list of library databases and include, ABI/INFORM, Accounting & Tax, Hoover’s Company Profiles,

Heritage Quest, PsycARTICLES, ebrary, and others. All of the ProQuest journal databases can be searched simultaneously by simply clicking on ProQuest,

though you may choose to search any one of them individually, or mix and match

just the ones you want to search. If you cannot decide, choose ProQuest Central, which is

multidisciplinary and will search many of them at one time. Some ProQuest databases have unique content, such as Heritage Ques t (genea logy ) and

ProQuest Statistical Datasets, and mus t be searched individually. Though too numerous to mention and describe in detail, the ProQuest

journal databases are its backbone, providing millions of documents from thousands of sources on all manner of subjects. Its many features and

tools combine to help the user quickly find the information he needs. In addition to basic and advanced search options, you will be able to use Boolean

connectors, choose search fields, find subject terms in the Thesaurus, and set filters for date, publication type, and document type. Once you have

found an article, you can save it in your own account, print it or email it, and even check the citation. For details on how to get the most out of ProQuest,

see the Library Databases LibGuide, view the Library Tutorial , or contact the Reference Desk by email, library@bellevue.edu or phone,

JOURNAL REVIEW: Artforum Guggenheim Museum in New

Features tend to focus

on individual artists—offering an

overview of their life, work, and

processes, though exhibition

openings are another popular

topic. The columns are typically

opinion pieces and may focus on

reviewing particular books or

entire museums. Three times a

and the work that will be on

guidance into the field of art,

whether said guidance is at the

creation or the business level,

would probably do well to look

library staff would be happy to

nature. Artforum is for those who

appreciate biography, art

history, and art criticism,

particularly if there is room for

the writing to go into some depth

into the topic at hand. Writer

Sarah Thornton states it thusly:

‘Artforum is to art what Vogue is

to fashion and Rolling Stone was

to rock and roll’ (Seven Days in

the Art World).

The Bellevue University

Library owns most Artforum issues

from 1989 through the present,

and full-text is available from

2002 in eLibrary and ProQuest.

If you need help locating this

journal or a specific issue or

article within it, library staff will

be able to assist you.

Artforum is published

ten times a year, September

~ Link Up with Libguides

By the time one reaches college age, most of us have experienced the serious

illness or death of a family member, friend, or classmate. And many, while empathizing with those who are in the midst of this life-changing situation, do

not say what we feel for fear intruding or increasing the stress level. This guide, written by a clinical social worker with 20 years’ experience at Johns

Hopkins Hospital in Maryland, is a concise and helpful source to help patients, caregivers, and supportive family and friends through this difficult time. The

author includes sample scripts that could give a caring relative or friend some ideas of comforting things to say. Five of the author’s

major points are: 1) Receiving support, help, or care makes most people uncomfortable and embarrassed. Caregivers need to reassure the

patient that even though the person is on the receiving side

BOOK REVIEW: “Walking on Eggshells: Caring for a Critically Ill Loved One” - R726.8.S254 2012

now, he/she has been on the giving side for other people.

2) Let the caregiver understand that he/she and the patient will not be on this roller coaster ride alone. 3) Caregivers need to take

care of themselves as well; as anyone who has flown on an airplane knows, if the oxygen masks drop, the person is to put his own mask on first so she/he

can help others. 4 ) O ne o f t h e c h i e f responsibilities of the caregiver is to be aware of, support, and be an advocate for fulfilling

your loved one’s needs. 5) Family and true friends are the greatest support system possible because their support is unconditional.

Walking on Eggshells has separate chapters devoted to different relationships between the critically-ill loved one and the caregivers: caring for a

young child, an adult child, a spouse, a parent. There is also a chapter devoted to the three

hospice options, one detailing the various stages of grief, and

a chapter with practical suggestions about how to initially cope with life without your loved one. Also included are

appendices with contact information for organizations that offer caregivers support, homecare/care homes options, financial and insurance issues,

and relevant government agencies. This book does not need to be read from cover to cover; the suggestions in the

chapter relevant to your circumstance would be helpful by itself. If you are one who has not yet experienced a serious illness or the death of someone

dear to you, this valuable guide is still a “must read.” It will aid you when the time comes. This book may be checked out for three weeks, and is found in

a little more study time. Being organized and understanding how to best utilize the time someone has are completely different concepts. Organized

is defined as arranged and or systematized; however, time management is a conscious act of control spent on specific tasks

to increase effectiveness, efficiency, or productivity. When someone finds

themselves repeatedly saying things like, “I don’t know where all my time goes” or “There just isn’t enough time in the day,” they might Google time

management tips or time management skills only to receive about 412,000,000 results. Who has time for that? Certainly not the person

researching the information. Fortunately, the Tutor and Study Skills Program developed a hands-on exercise to assist

people to see exactly where and how they are spending their time each week. The exercise

does not require the person to write down what they are doing every minute of the day; instead, users color code activities such as: work, weekly

obligations, housework, etc., and then ballpark how much time they spend on each activity on a weekly basis. To check out this amazing tool, click on the Time

Management Tool Module on the Study Skills tab in our Libguide.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE RAFFLE: Congratulations to the winners of our 9th Annual Gingerbread House Raffle. Hope Murphy won the Bellevue University student drawing, Ani Shrestha won the employee drawing, and Becky Wymer won the library staff drawing. A special thank you goes to Margie

McCandless, Reference Support Specialist, for her generosity in donating these lovely houses for the past nine years. QUICK QUIZ: Unfortunately there was no winner from the drawing. The question was: According to Facts On File, what three flight records did Amelia Earhart set as the ‘first woman’ to have accomplished them? Answer: Make a transatlantic flight crossing by air, to fly across the Atlantic alone, and to fly across the Pacific (from Hawaii to California). You can be the winner of the next Quick Quiz by entering electronically at http://library.bellevue.edu/news/books.htm, sending an email to library@bellevue.edu with the subject line “Quick Quiz,” or in person by visiting the library’s Reference Desk and filling out the entry form.
