Changing Roles and Redefining Goals: The Five-Year Itch
Librarians who purposefully switch jobs or change roles at least once within the first five
years as professionals have experienced the Five-year Itch. New librarians are faced with
many challenges as they enter the workforce. One major challenge is finding a position or
work environment that leads to a stimulating and long-lasting career. Often, new librarians
will switch jobs or roles, sometimes several times, within the first five years after
completing their library degree. To further understand this phenomenon, and to find out
what role, if any, continuing education / professional development plays in it, the authors
conducted an online survey and related questionnaire of librarians who received their
degrees in 1996 or later.
Presenters:
Susanne Markgren, Purchase College Library
Anne E. Leonard, Ursula C. Schwerin Library, New York City College of Technology
New Directions in Information Literacy: Using Film in IL Instruction
Most undergraduates have been entertained by movies throughout their lives. They often
miss important messages embedded in the story. Instructors of information literacy
courses strive to teach students to think critically. By using film media as an instructional
tool, instructors can bridge the process of critical thinking and popular culture.
This poster session focuses on developing an information literacy course which integrates
movies in the curriculum. Examples of selected films include, Enemy of the State, which
deals with information technology and privacy, Control Room, which highlights the media
and the authority of information, and others. This presentation will include a multimedia
component.
Presenters: Gerald Burke and Carol Anne Germain, University at Albany
Promoting Healthcare Literacy to Senior Citizens
The Health Sciences Center Library at Stony Brook University promotes healthcare
literacy to senior citizens through SBU's School of Medicine's annual Mini Medical School
program. Unlike traditional information literacy courses, teaching senior citizens presents
various challenges and considerations. In addition to instructing users on how to retrieve
and evaluate reliable and reputable information, basic computer skills must be taught
before any online searching may occur. For many attendees, this is their first encounter
with Internet searching, therefore, librarians must present a thorough overview of how
information is arranged and presented on the World Wide Web. The library's involvement
in Mini Medical School has not only been a great opportunity for librarians to promote their
skills and services but to build strong partnerships with the faculty, staff, and the
community.
Presenters:
Susan Werner and Mary Chimato, HSC Library, SUNY Stony Brook

New Technologies in the Libraries
Binghamton University Libraries have implemented a number of new technologies (e.g.,
instant ing, ir ion visualizati ftv and blogs) recently and are in the
process of transforming our traditional reference area into an information commons. This
poster will highlight some of these technologies and include live demonstrations using
laptops. We will also discuss the impact these technologies have had on how we deliver
traditional services.
Presenters:
Abigail Bordeaux and Bern Mulligan, Binghamton University Libraries
NOVEL Update - What’s New with NOVEL
This poster session will highlight some of the new initiatives related to the NOVEL, the
New York Online Virtual Electronic Library. In Fall 2004, the State Library funded 62
projects under an Invitational Grant Program that focused on creating a broad awareness
and use of NOVEL resources. The primary purpose of the program was to provide
increased training opportunities for librarians and the public to learn how to effectively use
NOVEL databases to meet informational needs. The information learned from the grantees
will soon be available on the State Library's website, including training and promotional
activities that were successful for the participating libraries and links to the online tutorials
that were developed with Invitational Grants funds. The poster session will also include
information on the recent additions to the list of NOVEL resources and the soon-to-be
announced access to NOVEL databases with NYS Driver license numbers. New York
State Residents will be able to use their NYS Driver's license number to access NOVEL
databases thorough the newly created “NOVEL New York” website.
Presenters:
Cara J anowsky and Sheldon Wein, New York State Library
1:15 - 3:15 p.m. Staying Ahead and Keeping Current with Blogs and RSS
Steve Cohen is creator of LibraryStuff, a blog dedicated to resources for keeping current
and professional development. His book, Keeping Current: Advanced Internet
Strategies to Meet Librarian and Patron Needs, was published in 2003 by ALA.
3:15 - 3:20 p.m. Wrap up

Parking is in the North Lot. To get there, turn off of Raymond Avenue onto Collegeview Avenue on the north side of
campus. Drive all the way down the street, which terminates at a cemetery. J ust before the end of the street, enter the North

You can then walk to the Main Building (#22 on the campus map) in the center of campus (a large brick building with yellow
trim behind a traffic circle, with a flag on top of it) by walking up the same road you came in on, or through the residential
quad. If you come through the Main Gate, drive straight up to the first stop sign, where you'll be facing the Main Building.
