| Elsewhere in this issue you may read in more detail about a new software package—ILLiad—recently implemented by the Pollak Library to improve its interlibrary loan services. Please take a look at ILLiad and assess its utility to your needs. A good place to begin this is the ILLiad registration page at
www.library.fullerton.edu/illiad. ILLiad is another development in a series of expansions and improvements to interlibrary loan services at CSU Fullerton. I ask that you read what follows in this context and then give me the benefit of your thoughts/reactions on how the “just in case” and ”just in time” approaches to providing information services apply to your circumstances and needs. Once upon a time if your local library—or library of choice—did not have a copy of the book, journal article, or other item you were wanting to read, peruse, or otherwise utilize in meeting your information needs, you were referred to the dreaded “Interlibrary Loan.” In my undergraduate days, once I met with this response, I gave up on the item and looked for something else I could use in writing the soon-due paper. If the library had not acquired what I needed prior to my wanting it (“just in case”), then I seldom had the time to wait for it to be secured physically from another library (“just in time”). The growing volume of information now available electronically, and the ease with which a library can borrow or secure a fax, photocopy, or electronic copy of many requested documents, has and will continue to change the way library users react when referred to Interlibrary Loan. A “just in time” approach to meeting user needs is being utilized more and more by academic libraries as they take advantage of changes in availability, deliverability, and affordability of materials secured through Interlibrary Loan. Because of the many and continuing changes in this environment, “document delivery” is increasingly used as a substitute term for the process. Academic libraries contain materials that experience varying degrees of use—from constant, because an item directly supports the curriculum (and may be placed on reserve by a professor), to little or none because users don’t find it attractive to, or supportive of, their needs. Thus the time lapse from acquisition to first use in a “just in case” environment may be days, years, or still somewhere out there in the future when the right chemistry between the material and a user finally occurs. In times of limited budgetary resources, libraries naturally want to maximize the former and minimize the latter situation. The Pollak Library remains committed to being as responsive as it can to the needs of campus users, whether this entails purchasing materials and placing them on our shelves, or securing consumable copies and placing these in the hands of users. We will obviously continue to utilize both “just in case” and “just in time” approaches. We will also be very attentive to the costs associated with both approaches and be judicious in choosing between them. Regular and ongoing analysis of interlibrary loan statistics—particularly the frequency of specific requests—is an essential part of this effort, and ILLiad will now provide us with better data. You can assist us in making good choices. When you have information needs associated with your courses or your research, give some thought as to which materials will be needed frequently, and which may be needed on a one-time-only or infrequent basis. The latter are ideal for “just in time” procurement via ILLiad or other document delivery mechanisms. The former justify an expenditure for a book purchase or placing of a journal subscription. Even mentioning this last possibility makes me a bit nervous lest readers of this think the time has come when new journal subscriptions are being actively entertained by the Library. Our still awaited 2002/03 budget will not support this, but we do remain hopeful that better years and increased flexibility in meeting users needs also await us. |

| Welcome
ILLiad: Interlibrary Loan Made Easier! Pollak Library is pleased to offer our interlibrary loan patrons a new, more effective tool to manage the ILL process, ILLiad. Not to be confused with Homer's Illiad, our ILLiad can be thought of as an acronym for InterLibrary Loan internet accessible database. CSUF's Pollak Library joins over 300 universities across the globe that believe ILLiad improves the performance of ILL operations and offers patrons a more active role in the ILL process. A few of the features we hope you will utilize include:
To register as an ILLiad user go to
www.library.fullerton.edu/illiad. If you have any questions or concerns about ILLiad or interlibrary services in general please contact Stacy Caron, head of the interlibrary loan section, at 714-278-4026 or Theresa
Liedtka, head of access services and systems, at 714-278-7544. We look forward to working with you, and having you work with
ILLiad. |

| Library Survival Skills Workshop Series Fall 2002 The Pollak Library will be offering the Library Survival Skills Workshop Series again this Fall semester. These drop-in workshops are a means to inform students and the campus community of library resources and services and to cultivate informed, intelligent, and resourceful researchers. The workshops are designed for entering freshmen, transfer students, or anyone who feels the need for a quick Library refresher. Unlike our main instructional program--which targets entire classes during class time at the request of faculty-- the Library Survival Skills workshops are available to individuals who may drop in on one of 30 sessions scheduled during the months of September and October. The workshop schedule is available at http://www.library.fullerton.edu/erworkshop.htm. Faculty should feel free to announce Library Survival Skills workshops to students during class, in syllabi, or on course web sites. Students who request proof of attendance at a Library Survival Skills workshop will receive an “I’m a Survivor” certificate. Introductory Library Survival Skills Workshops get participants up and running quickly with the Library, its core electronic databases, and basic research strategies. The workshops provide a basic overview of the Library, its resources, and its services. Business Research Survival Skills Workshops will give students the tools to find information quickly and easily on companies, industries, and business topics. Specialized Library Survival Skills Workshops are for students and others on campus who need quick exposure to the main electronic resources necessary either for research in specific disciplines (English and Comparative Literature, Education, and Psychology) or to accomplish common research tasks (finding online articles and book reviews, or doing citation analysis). First come, first served. No reservations are required. All Library Survival Skills Workshops are held in Pollak Library’s electronic classroom, PL-103.

Literacy Information Literacy, as outlined by the California State University system, is the ability to state a research problem, then find, evaluate, organize, synthesize, and use information to solve the problem. Sue Curzon, Dean, University Library Northridge, and Chair of the CSU Information Literacy Committee, has stated, “Students need to be information savvy. A student with information literacy skills can engage more in scholarly life by developing better research papers, finding information quickly, and critically evaluating the information that is found.” First begun in 1995, the CSU system-wide Information Literacy Initiative has helped students master the skills needed to be information savvy in an expanding digital world. With support from the Vice President’s Office, the Faculty Development Center, and the Pollak Library, the CSU Fullerton Information Literacy Initiative continues to move ahead. In Spring 2002, ten more departments participated in a second year retreat. During a morning session, faculty members from Anthropology, Asian American Studies, Civil Engineering, Communications, Electrical Engineering, History, Mechanical Engineering, Music, Political Science, and Visual Arts worked with librarians on developing strategies for implementing information competence standards into department program curriculum. Departments participating in the first year include: Accounting, Biology, Business Writing, Child & Adolescent Studies, Chemistry, Economics, Foreign Language, Geological Sciences, Gerontology, Human Services, Marketing, Math, Nursing, Psychology, Science Education, Sociology, and Women’s Studies. More information on this initiative, including ACRL standards, CSUF resources, participating departments, web links, and a bibliography, is available on the Information Literacy Guide web page. Faculty and administrators from CSU Fullerton made presentations on the campus-wide Information Literacy Initiative at several conferences during Summer 2002. Ellen Junn, Patricia Szeszulski, and Suellen Cox presented on our experience with integrating information literacy into the curriculum at the 30th National LOEX Conference “Integrating Information Literacy into the College Experience.” Pat Szeszuski, Suellen Cox, and Elizabeth Housewright collaborated with faculty, librarians and administrators from nine other institutions in developing best practices, characteristics, models, and benchmarks at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Best Practices in Information Literacy Invitational Conference in June. Finally, Suellen Cox and Susan Tschabrun presented the “CSU Fullerton Information Literacy Initiative” at the Faculty Day 2002 poster session “Showcasing CSUF Faculty Research and Creative Activity.” Suellen Cox Head of the Instruction & Information Services Unit |

Coming this fall, an exciting new feature called “SFX” will begin playing in the 23 libraries of the California State University (CSU). Thanks to CSU system-wide funding and technical support, users will soon begin to see live links in citation databases that will take them directly to either full-text online or a number of other access options. This new functionality will save users steps in the research process. For example, if a researcher finds an article of interest in Social Science Abstracts online, instead of having to look up the cited periodical title in the Library’s online catalog and/or in the list of electronic full-text journals, one will be directed from a hyperlink, in a logical order,  to the most immediate point of access to the desired article. In many cases, full-text will be available; when it is not, the user will be offered other relatively seamless electronic options such as placing an interlibrary loan request through the ILLiad service (see related article in this issue). While some electronic linking between and among information providers currently exists, it is often of a piecemeal nature, based upon individual vendor agreements and varying technical protocols. Bringing order to this rather haphazard situation has become an urgent priority within the information community. And SFX has emerged as a leading contender in this effort. SFX is a software application, originally conceived by the University of Ghent in Belgium. It was then purchased and further developed by the international library systems vendor, Ex Libris. SFX, of course, stands for “Special Effects” and the functionality offered by this application may be seen to work like magic. Not all electronic information providers are currently SFX compatible, but many of the biggest suppliers have adopted this feature, and the industry is rapidly moving to an “Open URL” standard, which will further accelerate the adoption of this application. Over the next year, each CSU Library will be engaging in the process of activating the various linking options, based upon its own local full-text subscriptions and database offerings. This involves contact with information vendors as well as some technical customization of the service, based on campus preferences. Pollak Library’s SFX Team recently received training in this process, and the activation of linked sources will soon be underway. Following performance testing of each resource, Fullerton will be implementing this new feature for use by the University community. Look for links labeled “Check for full-text and more via SFX” or just simply “SFX”. Follow those links, as they offer a preview of coming attractions. |

| Instruction
Coordinator Change Beginning with the Fall semester of 2002, the Pollak Library has a new Instruction Coordinator. Dr. Susan Tschabrun assumes the position from Suellen Cox, who has been appointed to head the Library’s Instruction and Information Services Unit. Dr. Tschabrun served as Vice-Coordinator of the Pollak Library’s Instruction Program for 2001-2002, and previously served as Instruction Coordinator at Cal State University, San Bernardino. While at San Bernardino, Dr. Tschabrun was chosen as the CSUSB Outstanding Librarian of the Year, 1998/99 and received a CSU Information Competence Work Group Award for her Information Competence for History Majors multimedia project. Dr. Tschabrun earned an MLS degree at UCLA (1993) and was awarded a PhD in Comparative World History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1986). In addition, she holds an MA in African History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1980) and a BA in History from SUNY Stonybrook (1975). Suellen Cox, who has served as the Library’s Instruction Coordinator for the past six years, led the program through a period of tremendous growth. She contributed to the design and successful installation of the library’s electronic classrooms, ably served as the library’s liaison to discipline faculty requesting library instruction sessions, designed and implemented assessments of instruction sessions, and with colleagues, instituted a series of electronic workshops for faculty, staff and students. Ms. Cox was an early proponent of the use of the Web in instruction, and encouraged her colleagues to create instructional materials on the Web. She created library Web guides for Anthropology, Art, Child & Adolescent Studies, Human Services, Linguistics, and Philosophy. Ms. Cox has personally taught nearly thirty library instruction sessions per semester and has been an extremely popular instructor with both faculty and students. In addition, she served for four years as coordinator of the library team for Fullerton First Year and taught the Fullerton First Year Seminar course for six semesters. In Spring 2002, Ms. Cox received a CSUF Teacher/Scholar Award for exceptional achievement in teaching. Ms. Cox has been a leader in Information Literacy within the Library, on campus, and in the CSU. Last year, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) selected Cal State Fullerton as a “Best Practices” library for Information Literacy. As a result of this recognition, Ms. Cox participated in an ACRL invitational conference with CSUF colleagues Dr. Pat Szeszulski and Ms. Elizabeth Housewright in Atlanta, Georgia in June 2002. Her Web page on Information Literacy is located at http://www.library.fullerton.edu/information_comp/. As Library Instruction Coordinator, Ms. Cox demonstrated creativity and a passion to empower student learning. We are all grateful for her efforts and wish her continued success in her new position. Carol Bednar Chair, Pollak Library, Department of Technical Services |

| FROM PRINT TO ELECTRONIC In recent years, we have seen the steady transition from print to electronic format for many of Pollak Library’s heavily used reference sources. The electronic format offers users enhanced features and functionality as well remote access. Two recent additions to the growing array of such resources are Oxford Reference Online and ValueLine Investment Survey. Oxford Reference Online (ORO) is a web-based publication of the Oxford University Press, comprised of more than 100 dictionaries and reference works in a wide spectrum of academic fields. Users may be familiar with the print counterparts from Oxford, with titles ranging from The Concise Oxford Companion to Classical Literature to A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition. The database includes over one million full-text entries, ranging from dictionary definitions, facts, figures, dates, biographies, place names, and quotations. One can search definitions across a variety of fields, and results may also link to additional related terms. Whereas the Library could never afford to purchase every edition of each title in print, we are now able to provide cost-effectively the complete electronic product and periodic updates. For a complete list of publications covered, go to: http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/GLOBAL.html?subview=TitleList ValueLine Investment Survey is a comprehensive source of current information and advice on approximately 1,700 stocks, more than 90 industries, the stock market, and the economy. The Survey draws upon an independent research staff of more than 70 independent professional security analysts. Updated on a weekly basis, the Ratings & Reports section contains detailed financial profiles, analysis, and rankings for stocks, mutual funds, and convertible securities. The Summary & Index includes key statistical data. And, finally, the Selection & Opinion section offers economic and stock market forecasts. Also included is a glossary of investment terms and tips on how to invest. Veteran users of this resource in the loose-leaf print format will undoubtedly welcome the new electronic version.

| Second Year of Conversations with Scholars Series The Pollak Library is proud to host a second year of the Conversations with Scholars Lecture Series. After a successful launch during the 2001/2002 academic year, the series promises to attract even more students to the monthly program. As participants in the Undeclared Students Certificate program, students have a front row opportunity to hear from award-winning faculty about their current research. During the Fall Orientation for the Undeclared Students program, the Academic Advising Department hosted several receptions, which involved the Student Leadership Institute, Career Planning and Placement, Pollak Library, Major Monologues and even a Blackboard component to support and encourage undeclared students as they discover all sorts of possibilities. The aim is to encourage students to explore various disciplines, fields of study, career paths, and CSUF colleges. But another important aspect is to get to know some of the people who work and do research in these disciplines. By making these new connections, an undeclared student will be able to make an informed choice when selecting a major. The Conversations with Scholars Series itself has the potential to open some doors for students. We all have preconceived notions about particular majors or departments, whether or not they are for “math types” or “artsy types”. However the presenters always break those stereotypes! And participants can hear first-hand the type of work, research, and fun that can be found in their field. As one librarian recommended, “Choose at least two lectures to attend – one from a discipline that might really be up your alley and then one that never in a million years would you be interested in – and I guarantee, you will be completely surprised at how interesting both presenters and presentations are!”
Faculty wishing to promote this stimulating series are encouraged to:
We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a very interesting (and approachable) event! Rachael

LIQUID ART: A Celebration of Southern California Artworks Incorporating Water Liquid Art showcases twenty sculptures, fountains, and other projects located throughout the Southland that were chosen by a panel of judges for their celebration of water or its imaginative use. They are being documented in a traveling photographic exhibit sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The MWD has also provided a beautifully illustrated catalog, free to all, that describes the artists, their projects, and the locations of the building or landscape where they may be visited. In addition, the exhibit is cover story in the current issue of the AAA magazine, Westways. Liquid Art has also been featured in Huell Howser’s Road Trip series on KCET. CSUF has the honor not only to host this prestigious exhibit but also to be the home of two of the works featured in it. “Diamond Column” by DeWain Valentine and ”Wall Gazing Gallery” by Richard Turner may both be enjoyed in the CSUF Visual Arts Center. Liquid Art opened on August 6 with a reception hosted by President Gordon and the MWD. It remains on display at the Atrium Gallery through September 12. The gallery may be visited most hours that the Library is open. |
|
| SLEEK DISCORD: Recent Sculptures by Suguru and Richard P. Mansfield Sculptures by CSUF alumnus Suguru Hiraide and CSUF grad student Richard P. Mansfield make up the other exhibit currently visible in the Atrium Gallery east wing. Many of the sculptures are kinetic, which requires constant monitoring. The exhibit, which is extended through October 19, features a number of odd characters and contraptions going about their business—and a strange business it is. Future Exhibits Director of Exhibitions Veronica Chiang is in the process of curating an exhibit to be opened in late October. Paper art and paper engineering will be the focus of the new exhibit. Be on the lookout for the opening. |

Jan Zlendich recently retired from an illustrious career as a librarian after 29 years of service at CSUF where she held various positions of responsibility in the libraries at Fullerton and the Mission Viejo Campus (now known as El Toro). Her position when she retired was that of Library Webmaster. Jan graduated with a B.A. in History from MacMurray College and earned a Master’s in Library Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her first professional position was as a History and Literature Reference Librarian at the Cincinnati Public Library. It was here that she developed an interest in Spanish that led to a summer of study at the University of Guanajuato. During the Kennedy era, Jan was inspired to serve as a volunteer in the newly created Peace Corps and, armed with her expertise in the Spanish language, served for over two years as a librarian at the Universidad Catolica del Norte in Antofagasta, Chile. Upon her return to the United States, Jan continued studies towards a Master’s degree in Spanish at Middlebury College and the University of Illinois. Always ready for new experiences-- and a warmer climate, she decided to take a job as the Latin American Bibliographer/Cataloger at the University of California, Riverside where she remained for five years before marrying, moving to Anaheim, and accepting a position at Fullerton. Jan began her career at CSUF in what was then the Technical Services Department of the Library. She was recruited as the Romance Languages Cataloger and Head of the Pre-Cataloging Section. After several years, Jan became the Department Chair of Technical Services, responsible for all personnel and operations in the Acquisitions, Serials, Cataloging, Database Maintenance, and Government Documents Sections. It was during Jan’s years as Department Chair that the procurement of the Library’s online system took place. Jan served on the committee that wrote the RFP (Request for Proposal), reviewed vendor responses, and recommended the Library’s current online system vendor, Innovative Interfaces, Inc. Over the years, Jan’s interest in Spanish expanded to all languages, and she eventually earned a Master’s in Linguistics at CSUF, doing her thesis research on Esperanto. Another kind of language had piqued Jan’s interest at this time, namely “computerese.” When the first Macintosh was introduced, Jan was one of the first in line to own one. In her own words, “…the minute I sat down at a computer I knew it was my future.” It was this new interest and her expertise in computer software and systems that led Jan to change career paths in 1993 and move to the Mission Viejo Campus as the sole Librarian in a completely electronic library. While at Mission Viejo, Jan worked with upper division students teaching them to use electronic resources and introducing them to the Internet. She also performed all reference and interlibrary loan functions. It was Jan’s expertise with computers that prompted her reassignment to the main campus to serve as the Library Webmaster. The award-winning Pollak Library website you access today is the product of Jan’s imagination, creativity, coordination and hands-on expertise. During her career, Jan was active in professional library associations, both locally and nationally. She also served on many Library and University committees. In answer to the question of what she would miss most in retirement, without hesitation Jan replied, “the wonderful, motivated, enthusiastic librarians and staff I have worked with over my years at CSUF.” Retirement will find Jan and her husband on the move, literally, to Tucson, Arizona, where they will now make their home. Jan plans to continue learning new computer software and systems, this time on her home computer. She will also have more time for her other passions, fiber arts and animals. Jan plans to remain active in the fiber arts professional organizations and will continue to write her fiber arts and crafts book review column for Library Journal. She also hopes to have the opportunity to work with animals, perhaps by volunteering at the Tucson Humane Society. We know the Tucson Zoo has just gained a frequent visitor. Jan has contributed much to the Library and to the University over her long career at Fullerton. While we here will miss her considerable expertise and her affable personality, we do wish her happiness in her well-deserved retirement and in her new environment.
