Library Website Redesign: A Case Study on the Process at the UH West Oahu
Alphie Garcia, Pearl DeSure, Sara Alello
(Location: TBD)
Libraries are fighting an uphill battle for our patrons attention, and are often losing to
content sources that are worse in quality, but are easier to access or to navigate because
of site design. The University of Hawai'i - West O'ahu Library began a redesign of its
website in the beginning of summer 2014 to improve their users experience and to better
present their information. Learn how the library staff went about developing their site
using feedback from students and faculty, incorporating recent design techniques, and
tying themes together with their discovery layer.

resources and encouraging effective partnerships between and among member libraries.
The HLC membership consists of a range of schools and libraries from the Hawaii public
schools, Hawaii State public libraries, University of Hawaii system libraries, private K-12
schools, and private academic institutions. In this session we'll give a brief history of
HLC, outline our services, discuss the previous (2010) database contract process and give
a brief overview of the upcoming 2015 database contract process. We'll also save time to
answer any questions you may have about the consortium itself.

Hawaiian Cataloging: Working Towards A Hawaiian Knowledge Based System
Koa Luke, Ruth Horie
(Location: TBD)
Library of Congress established best practices and a thesaurus of subject headings that is
the standard in many libraries and repositories worldwide. Library of congress has a
world view that sometimes clashes with knowledge that exists in local communities.

challenge and create subject headings and organizational schemes that are based on and
reflect Hawaiian knowledge systems. This panel will address such projects that are
advocating to make repositories more searchable for the Hawaiian community.

Raising the Bar: Locating Legal Information in Hawai!i
Karen R. Schneiderman
(Location: TBD)
In our libraries, patrons may enlist our assistance to locate county, state or even federal
legal information. As librarians, we must be able to locate this information effectively

YouTube and You: A Social Media Outreach Strategy
Kimberly Jackson
(Location: TBD)
In recent years, organizations have jumped at the opportunity to use social media to
market their services/brand to millions through recognizable platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter and YouTube. Although some organizations are wary of marketing practices, it is
important for libraries to show their continued influence and need within the community
and also meet the expectations of digital native users. What better way to do this than
through social media? In this session I will discuss the challenges the UHM LIS Web
Team faced and which lead to the creation of the official UHM LIS Web Team YouTube
Channel, as well as the opportunities it has created outside of the LIS program.

What Catalogers Can Do for Your Library: Advocacy for Catalogers Skills and
Knowledge
Asako Shiba
(Location: TBD)
Catalogers role in libraries has been to provide access to library resources by creating
catalog records. However, an increasing number of catalogers work outside the realm of
catalog records creation in recent years. Targeted for both catalogers and non-catalogers,
the presentation first explores how the skills and knowledge catalogers possess can be
instrumental in the operations of a variety of library services and initiatives that have
evolved recently. Then it provides insight into advocating the value of catalogers in a

Rapping for Research: Collaboration in the Classroom through Epic Rap Battles of
History
Junie Hayashi, Courtney Takabayashi
(Location: TBD)

partner with faculty to craft a research assignment that would bring you into classrooms
to teach students to use library databases, evaluate internet websites, and properly cite
these sources over multiple sessions? Find out how a librarian and an instructor
collaborated on an assignment using Epic Rap Battles of History (well-known characters
rap against each other) that facilitated research and fostered analytical thinking beyond

Expanding Access to Audiobooks
Pablo Wegesend
(Location: TBD)
Library organizations and library schools always talk about open access to information.
The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (known as NLS)
offers audiobook services for those suffering from blindness, visual impairments and
physical disabilities that make it hard to hold a print book. Currently, those whose
difficulty with print books is due to intellectual disabilities or illiteracy due to lack of
proper education are not qualified for NLS audiobook services. While there a few reasons
why that is so, I will explain why that should change. Much of the information is based
on what I have learned from this summer's research project on library resources and
services for the blind and visually impaired.

Advocating for the Information Needs of Native Hawaiians: Guiding Values and
Principles
Kapena Shim
(Location: TBD)
Libraries are treasure troves of cultural, historical, and political knowledge entertaining,
inspiring, and empowering the minds of many. But in Hawaiian communities, what roles
and impacts does this kind of information have, especially in healing the effects of a
long-standing history of cultural, historical, and political disempowerment and
marginalization? Drawing upon past experiences and recent research, this session will
help you better understand the roles and impacts of information in Hawaiian communities
by highlighting core values and guiding principles you can incorporate in your

If its a perfectly good book, we wouldnt be tossing it! Justifying and Advocating
for Weeding Your Collection
Kathleen Stacey
(Location: TBD)
Many of us want to weed our collections of old, damaged, or simply bad books and
media. Or better, to not accept such materials as donations to start with! But we often
come up against opposition to throwing away perfectly good books! from both our
users and the community at large. There are many strategies we can use to both justify
discarding unwanted and unusable materials, and to gently turn away donations of such
items when given. Well examine ways to change hearts and minds about the value of
weeding.

From Rotten to Sustainable Links: Transforming Linkrots in Your Catalog
Keiko Okuahra
(Location: TBD)
The link, a URL, points to a resource hosted by a third party. That resource will only
survive as long as the third party preserves it. As websites evolve, not all third parties will
have a sufficient interest in preserving the links that provide backwards compatibility to
those who relied upon those links. Regardless of the reason to disable the cited resource
in the footnotes, deadlinks undermines the credibility of the citations and frustrate users
of the library. This vulnerability challenges the librarys integrity to provide access to
needed information. What can librarians do to discover linkrots and fix them in your
catalog?

hidden collections of the library, and how it has positively impacted library usage.

The Aisle Between the Shelves is a Corridor Out of Poverty: Public Libraries and
Homelessness
Amy Mars
(Location: TBD)
Providing equitable library services means reaching out to patron groups that experience
extra barriers. As a free institution open to all, public libraries offer enormous potential to
be a gateway out of poverty and to help individuals & families surmount the obstacles
that prevent them from engaging with their community and reaching their full potential.
So what does it mean to provide library services to the homeless? This will be the topic
of conversation as I share my experiences with: Advocating for policies & services that
