ASCLA – LSSPS, LIBRARY SERVICES TO PRISONERS FORUM LITA Prisoners’ Right to Read: Balancing Intellectual Freedom and Correctional Security Librarians serving the incarcerated and detained face daily challenges to provide library services. They struggle to balance the library’s mission to ensure access to information while respecting the facility’s goals of safety and security. Program participants will learn to use positive communication skills and the new “Prisoners’ Right to Read: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights” (PRTR) to help correctional administrators craft improved policy and correctional line staff to consistently interpret policy. A Q&A session surrounding the PRTR is also part of the session. Track: User Services Subtrack: Outreach The Discovery Payoff: Are discovery services increasing ROI and the library’s prominence in academic institutions This panel will review how web-scale discovery is being applied by academic libraries and examine evidence of its impact. The session will feature librarian pioneers in deploying webscale discovery sharing their experiences as well as qualitative and quantitative results. Included will be a readout on the immediate rise in its content usage and heightened its presence among students and faculty. The speakers will offer advice on how web-scale discovery can best be leveraged to help libraries increase their return on content investments and strengthen their library brand. Track: Digital Information & Technologies Speakers: John Law, Serials Solutions; Andrew Nagy, Serials Solutions LLAMA - HRS ASCLA - ICAN Open Source Integrated Library Systems in Consortia Open source integrated library systems are no longer cutting-edge technology, but managing dozens of libraries on the same system is still a task left to a few brave souls. This program examines five consortia of varying size, type and complexity from Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan and Georgia, who are successfully using either Koha or Evergreen Open Source systems in a union catalog environment. Pay for Performance that Works Have you always wanted to develop a pay for performance system but have been afraid to add pay when just managing performance is making you crazy? How can you ensure the system is fair and equitable and that staff stays motivated and energized? Using real life examples – from development to implementation, come and learn how to move towards an effective system that works. Learn the perils, pitfalls, and helpful mechanisms of making it happen. Track: Human Resources and Staff Development LLAMA - SASS A Person of Interest…Safety and Security in the Library Learn how to deal with patrons in the library who are breaking library policy, displaying behavioral problems or breaking the law.
