Patrons' diverse needs require that academic libraries provide dynamic services and resources. Within resource constraints, academic libraries face the challenge of identifying and investing appropriately in specific resources that will effectively and efficiently meet patrons' complex needs. Libraries have traditionally measured efficiency by developing single factor productivity indexes. However, these qualitative methods do not adequately address the efficiency aspect, which measures the transformation of resources (inputs) into services (outputs). Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiencies of a decision-making unit with multiple inputs and outputs. The DEA methodology has been applied to libraries over the past twenty years. This paper proposes how to develop a competitive resource-based view strategy and data envelopment analysis evaluation model that faculty can employ to strengthen their libraries. The model is demonstrated by analyzing the efficiency of the Portland State University Branford Price Millar Library compared to its peer institution libraries and recommending resource-based strategies that will yield the greatest sustained competitive advantage.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45405966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fashion is a discipline that is both creative and academic but is also a field that is dominated by commercial interests. Fashion zines offer a form of counterdiscourse to the mainstream fashion media, which engages with fashion as a phenomenon while challenging its institutionally held power. Zines are also emerging as a new media in fashion communications, with alternative magazines taking inspiration from their aesthetics and brands co-opting the terminology and capitalizing on their subcultural appeal. This article focuses on the developing relevance of this medium to fashion as an industry and as an academic discipline, the challenges academic libraries face in collecting zines and small-press fashion publications, and the academic library’s role in providing access to this kind of alternate literature. Additionally, it discusses zine making as a pedagogical tool, exploring how they can be used by students for inspiration and as a medium with which to engage with, and challenge, fashion discourse on their own terms.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47201080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sewing was one of the few crafts to which women were universally exposed in the United States in the early twentieth century. Like publications depicting ready-to-wear clothing, which also allow us to see everyday clothing as opposed to elite dress, commercial sewing pattern publications illustrated contemporary rules of the six occasions for dress and the application of the five aesthetic principles to clothing. In addition, such publications offer unusually detailed garment illustrations and pattern schematics documenting style trends and garment design and construction. Most importantly, sewing publications offer valuable information about women’s relationship to dress in one of the few realms where they acted as both producer and consumer. Sewing pattern publications indicate tacitly the level of artisanal skill possessed by American women and girls by era and can aid scholars in restoring them to the history of technology. Though scholarly access to commercial sewing pattern publications has increased, they remain a largely inaccessible source worthy of library collection.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45793712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latham and Noah Lenstra), pp. 717–24. © 2021 The Board of Trustees, University of Illinois In 2012, Canadian public librarian Pam Ryan wrote about “the grim reality of low public librarian research and publication rates” (5). Woods and Booth (2013) provide some quantitative backing to this claim: among all types of practitioner research in librarianship, public librarian research is the least common. Only 0.6 percent of articles in their sample came from public librarians, behind 5.4 percent from school librarians. Adkins (2019) notes this problem emerges from multiple sources, including the fact that “the publication venues for research on public librarianship are relatively few, and the people writing in this area are relatively small in number” (211). It may also be “due in part to the municipal and fragmented nature of the public library. As most public libraries are products of their communities, they each have a unique story about their beginnings and their challenges” (230). Regardless of the reasons why, public librarians compose only 14 percent of the authors in her dataset of prolific voices in the public library literature, meaning that the voices of public librarians are underrepresented even within the small research literature on public libraries. How can we reverse this anemic record? One starting place is attending to the questions public librarians partnering with academic researchers raise. From the perspective of public librarians, the questions that animate the six articles featured in this special issue include the following:","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42349407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The team has pursued strategies over a period of years to address potential barriers to use caused specifically by overdue materials and subsequent fines. The latest of these strategies produced a data set, available to MPL through the shared Milwaukee County Federated Library System, that allowed authorized MPL staff, in partnership with the School of Information Studies of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (SOIS), to engage fine-constricted patrons in a review of library policies. Utilizing a telephone survey and focus groups, MPL/SOIS identified a constellation of issues that affect patrons’ use of the library beyond the single question of fines to engage the broader question of the impact of policies. Patrons indicated a desire for more communication strategies initiated by the library and an elimination of the collection agency and the associated fee, as well as a concern about who benefits from the fines that are collected. They also identified an underlying value for the library that supports that use. This dialogue produced a study that extends beyond simply the elimination of “barriers to use” to a more affirmative approach of supporting not just access, but relationship between the library and their patrons.","PeriodicalId":47175,"journal":{"name":"Library Trends","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/lib.2020.0049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42644412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
