Presenter(s): 
Pam Brannon, Georgia State University College of Law

The rise of web-based tools with collaborative features in the last few years has resulted in a potential boon for librarians tasked with providing faculty research services. This session will demonstrate a number of ways that librarians can take advantage of tools such as reference and project management systems to optimize faculty services, including receiving and tracking faculty research and document delivery requests, managing multiple research assistants, and delivering research results in the manner most useful to the individual faculty member.

The Online Faculty Scholarship Workshop: A Social In-House Repository for Early (pre-SSRN) Drafts

Submitted by Tom Boone, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles on Tue, 02/15/2011 - 5:04pm
Presenter(s): 
Tom Boone, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles

There are limited in-person opportunities for law school faculty to workshop quarter- and half-baked ideas with colleagues. Sites like SSRN provide an electronic option to solicit feedback on drafts, but due to those sites' wide reach, many faculty only post substantially finished work, preferring to keep developing work under wraps from the world at large. To fill the gap, Loyola Law School is developing an in-house repository for article drafts. Faculty can post ideas and drafts electronically, granting access to individually selected colleagues or to the entire faculty.
