This report looks at which students have received training in use of the library eBook collection, how much they use it, and what they think of their training and the collection itself. The study also looks at the impact of the pandemic on college student use of the academic library eBook collection. It helps its readers to answer questions such as: who is using eBooks? Who has received or not received training in how to use the library eBook collection? What do students think of the collection and the training that they have received in its use? How has the pandemic impacted their use of the library eBook collection? Just a few of the report's many findings are that: ?Students raised in the US West are much likelier than those raised in other parts of the USA or abroad to be frequent users of the library eBook collection.?Students from private colleges were almost twice as likely as those from public colleges to be frequent users of the library eBook collection.?Students of Philosophy, History, English, Classics, and Languages more frequently found the book collection very easy or relatively easy to access and use, compared with students from other disciplines.?Only approximately 26% of students with a full time job have received any form of training in how to use the college eBook collection.?Students majoring in journalism were the least likely to find the eBook collection useful to them.?Broken out by race or ethnicity, students of Asian ancestry were more likely than those from other backgrounds to have become more familiar with their library's eBook collection over the course of the pandemic.Data in the 99-page report is broken out by more than 20 personal and institutional variables, so, for example, readers can get specific data on eBook use for first year students vs. sophomores, juniors or seniors, or for students in level 1 research universities vs. doctoral institutions, or for male vs. female or vs. transgender students, or for business/economics majors vs fine arts majors, etc., etc.

Becoming a solo librarian may be a daunting prospect. From collections to cataloguing, classifying to copyright, whether the individual is a solo librarian, within a small team with limited help, or working in a larger library or information hub, the range of tasks involved will remain the same. Whilst being a solo librarian does have its fair share of challenges that can include juggling multiple tasks and time management, marketing and embracing the ever-changing technologies and upcoming social media channels, and effectively managing the feeling of being isolated, there are also many advantages. With the author having been through the education process and gained work experience, information professionals will have already picked up many transferrable skills and identified some key aspects when it comes to accessing, using, and running a library. By being intellectually curious, embracing ever-changing technologies, enjoying learning and knowledge creation, and working alongside non-library colleagues, it is likely that information professionals are organised, can manage their time effectively, enjoy helping others by sharing and promoting library and information services, and will stay engaged as a team of one. As a solo librarian herself and a book not being available on the topic, she has decided to write one – which covers the lessons learnt, and templates created in order to assist others) that find themselves in a similar role &/or a small team with limited help. This Internationally applicable and practical handbook will follow a yearly planner and shows a timeline of key activities that happen throughout, in this instance, an academic year and include the following examples: Acquisitions, cataloguing, updating library guidance (before academic year start - September) Student and Staff Inductions (September/October) Quarterly Business Review to review updates and library usage (Oct – Dec) Library cover over student/staff holiday period (Dec) Quarterly Business Review (Jan – Mar) Quality standard(s) re-accreditation (April) Research methods/study skills webinars (April) Library cover over student holiday period (April) Quarterly Business Review (April –June) Copyright Audit (May) Copyright Academic Rollover (June) Quarterly Business Review (July –Sept) Yearly e-Library review (July) Financial Review (July) Student Survey Results (July) Library cover over student holiday period (August/September) Appendices will include a condensed version of ‘Lucy the Librarian top tips for successful solo librarianship’ (Note: Chapter 4 of the publication will expand on key elements and provide contextual examples) as well as providing templates and guidance notes that will be made available to download and used to aid those working in information, knowledge, libraries and related disciplines, whether based within the UK or around the world. The idea behind this practical handbook, therefore, is to provide guidance and templates to cover: Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a solo librarian Identifying library user needs, Benchmarking, Forming a clear structure – for Physical and Online Libraries, Acquisitions and financial management, Classification and cataloguing, Archives and records management, Copyright (incl. Referencing and Plagiarism), Intellectual Property, and Licensing, Communications and promotion, Where to access further Information, Advice, and Guidance, and more.
