The Electronic Resources Troubleshooting Guide
Holly Talbott
American Library Association, 2020
Library of Congress Z692.C65 | Dewey Decimal 025.174
A library user can’t access an article. Your log in credentials won’t work. In the realm of electronic resources everything runs smoothly—until suddenly, without warning, it doesn’t. Invariably, systems will break down, but a trial and error approach to finding out what’s wrong is highly inefficient. This hands-on guide from two expert ERM librarians walks you through the essentials of troubleshooting. It outlines a methodical process that will help you identify the source of a problem even when it’s not obvious and take steps to reach a resolution. With the goal of developing a library-wide workflow in mind, this guide will teach you how to
- familiarize yourself with the components of electronic resources, using flowchart diagrams of common access chains such as discovery services, knowledge bases, research guides, and library services platforms;
- navigate the complete triage and troubleshooting workflow, illustrated through 14 in-depth examples;
- recognize the symptoms of common access disruptions;
- conduct efficient troubleshooting interviews;
- manage help tickets and design problem reports that capture key information without overburdening the user;
- create publicly available help pages for problems originating with users’ devices or computers;
- communicate with vendors and IT personnel for speedy resolutions, providing dozens of clear definitions of library and technology terms that will help you minimize confusion; and
- customize your own troubleshooting workflow chart for common use across departments and staff hierarchies.

The Library's Guide to Graphic Novels
John Ballestro
American Library Association, 2020
Library of Congress Z692.G7L53 2020 | Dewey Decimal 026.7415
The circ stats say it all: graphic novels’ popularity among library users keeps growing, with more being published (and acquired by libraries) each year. The unique challenges of developing and managing a graphics novels collection have led the Association of Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) to craft this guide, presented under the expert supervision of editor Ballestro, who has worked with comics for more than 35 years. Examining the ever-changing ways that graphic novels are created, packaged, marketed, and released, this resource gathers a range of voices from the field to explore such topics as
- a cultural history of comics and graphic novels from their World War II origins to today, providing a solid grounding for newbies and fresh insights for all;
- catching up on the Big Two’s reboots: Marvel’s 10 and DC’s 4;
- five questions to ask when evaluating nonfiction graphic novels and 30 picks for a core collection;
- key publishers and cartoonists to consider when adding international titles;
- developing a collection that supports curriculum and faculty outreach to ensure wide usage, with catalogers’ tips for organizing your collection and improving discovery;
- real-world examples of how libraries treat graphic novels, such as an in-depth profile of the development of the Penn Libraries' manga collection;
- how to integrate the emerging field of graphic medicine into the collection; and
- specialized resources like The Cartoonists of Color and Queer Cartoonists databases, the open access scholarly journal Comic Grid, and the No Flying, No Tights website.

Michelle Leonard
American Library Association, 2021
Library of Congress Z1033.G73 | Dewey Decimal 025.28
An important resource for scholarly research, grey literature is relevant to every discipline. It’s also often more current than commercial publications.

- an overview of grey literature that discusses its importance to researchers, scholars, and students;
- collections policies for selection and deselection, complete with a suggested workflow;
- information about vendors, OA, and other aspects of acquisitions;
- guidance on cataloging, such as collection categories in the public-facing catalog, and preservation; and
- methods for promoting grey literature in library collections, including institutional repositories; and
- tips for marketing, branding, outreach, and best communication practices for colleagues, administrators, and patrons.

Placing Papers: The American Literary Archives Market
Amy Hildreth Chen
University of Massachusetts Press, 2020
Library of Congress Z692.A7C44 2020 | Dewey Decimal 025.17140973
The sale of authors' papers to archives has become big news, with collections from James Baldwin and Arthur Miller fetching record-breaking sums in recent years. Amy Hildreth Chen offers the history of how this multimillion dollar business developed from the mid-twentieth century onward and considers what impact authors, literary agents, curators, archivists, and others have had on this burgeoning economy.
The market for contemporary authors' archives began when research libraries needed to cheaply provide primary sources for the swelling number of students and faculty following World War II. Demand soon grew, and while writers and their families found new opportunities to make money, so too did book dealers and literary agents with the foresight to pivot their businesses to serve living authors. Public interest surrounding celebrity writers had exploded by the late twentieth century, and as Placing Papers illustrates, even the best funded institutions were forced to contend with the facts that acquiring contemporary literary archives had become cost prohibitive and increasingly competitive.
