Computer Resources @ The Krieble Library

Our College's library currently serves at the "default" computer center for our campus.

Our public access workstations currently include several Dell PCs and two MacIntosh Power Mac G5 machines, plus several laptop computers. We're very please to announce that we will be adding a new MacIntosh iMac computer with the Intel Core 2 processor.

This growth in our computer resources was made possible with the generous support of the Bodenwein Public Benevolent Foundation. Look for this new workstation to be available the third week in October.

We are fortunate to receive the continued generous support of this foundation. Their aid in our college's technology growth greatly boost our ability to provide our academic community with the tools essential to access and use information resources; to produce quality academic achievements; and to facilitate meaningful connections with the outside world. Their support benefits all our library patrons immensely.

Look for more updates on our computer resources soon!

Mac G5 & Epson Scanner/Copier Set-up in Library

Due to the steady increase in demands for the production of digital files & color copies we have set up another shared access workstation to meet the need of patrons with quick, "last minute" or otherwise unscheduled production needs.

This station is located inside the library, directly outside of our Visual Resources Center (VRC). We encourage you to stop by and acquaint yourself with this workstation.

Our VRC station will continue to be available for those patrons that want to guarantee computer time with an advance reservation. The availability of both stations should help better meet the needs during peak demand.

This new set-up is available on a first come, first serve basis. LACFA students, faculty and staff are welcome to make use of this additional workstation without an appointment.

The station is set up with a G5 MacIntosh computer, Epson RX700 scanner and software for image editing and production of digital presentations.

Among its many functions, the Epson RX700 can produce high resolution scans up to 48-bit, 3200 x 6400. It is outfitted with a flat bed scan surface that is standard letter size, slots for media cards, and a special carrier to allow users to scan 35mm slides and negatives to turn them into digital files. In addition the unit provides users with six-color printing and copying.

The Mac G5 computer can produce a variety of types of image file to best suit your needs. The most popular types have been .pdf and .jpg files. Additionally Internet, Apple & Microsoft Office software are accessible on this workstation. As this is a shared workstation, all users will need to save their work to their own portable storage. The library sells CDs for those that wish to save their files to disc.

ASK Proxima C310 - DLP Projector

Excellent NEWS to share!
Just this week we have added a DLP projector to our to our campus AV equipment. Our new projector offers our campus users:

• DLP™ Display Technology
• 3000 ANSI Lumens
• 1024 x 768 Native Resolution
• 4:3 Native Aspect Ratio

The support to purchase this new equipment came from the Bodenwein Public Benevolent Foundation. They are generous supporters of our continued growth. This equipment will benefit our entire campus by boosting our ability to support simultaneous & multiple classroom visual presentations. Now, we can provide projection in multiple rooms at the same time!

This is our second multi-media projector and there are future plans to install this projector with a ceiling mount in our academic center lecture hall.

The projector's 3000 Lumens provide for excellent illumination. The brightness and contrast ratio of this new projector will bring our campus' projection capabilities to a much improved level. Currently, this projector (and all other AV equipment) is avaiable for use only for on-campus use with advance reservations. Further details below:

Freshmen Seminar Library Basics
12 - 1 in Library

with Loree Bourgoin

ALL incoming students with less than 30 transfer credits will be attending the Library 411 Freshman Seminar on the above listed date starting at noon.

Students required to take this seminar have been pre-registered. Any questions on this consult Patti Broedlin at x112 or the librarian at x132.

No advance preparation is required for this seminar. This seminar is assignment based.

Attendees should arrive on time for a 15 minute introduction. After 15 minutes each will be given an assignment sheet. Credit for this seminar is granted only upon completion of the assignment. The assignment covers basic foundation knowledge that LACFA faculty and the library have determined is essential to know about use of our college library.

The assignment is hands-on exploration of the library through search-discovery & use exercises. This hands-on mode of learning seems to be the most effective means of delivering the lesson objectives. The assignment is brief and should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.

The assignment due date is September 25^th -- one week after the seminar! Student Services will be informed of each student that earns credit for the seminar upon completion of the assignment.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Visual Resources Center Activities FY 2006-07

Demands for the use of digital images have grown sharply on our campus. These demands come with advances in digital technologies and our transitioning away from collecting and presenting images on 35mm film.

To this day, we still maintain a large collection of 35mm slides of art for presentations in the classroom. As digital images are becoming more readily available for use the 35mm film is becoming a less needed collection. On our campus, the overall use of the 35mm slide collection has been on a steady decline and we believe the collection will eventually fall into disuse.

Several times throughout the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 terms our Access Services Coordinator, Stephanie Johnson reported that, "…faculty members who wanted to learn how to create digital slide shows in lieu of using [35mm] slides & projectors,” were approaching her to learn the basics of using digital images on the computer and in the classroom.

At the Krieble Library, we have been taking strides towards making digital image resources available for teaching and learning on our campus for several years. Part of these efforts includes providing basic advisement and instruction on creating, selecting and using images. Each who endeavors to make use of these image resources needs to learn how to use digital cameras, computers, scanners and a number of different software programs. The past two semesters we have experienced a heavy increase in the demand for our related instructional services most pointedly from our teaching faculty.

On an individual appointment basis, several faculty members came into the Visual Resource Center at the Krieble Library for a series of lessons. We are set-up in the Visual Resources Center with digital cameras, scanners, and both PC & Macintosh computers for our faculty and students to utilize. They come in to learn the basics of uploading digital images from their cameras or scanner, saving the images to file, and cropping, rotating and enhancing their images in Photoshop. They also learn to use presentation software MS PowerPoint and about burning their finalized presentations to disc.

As an example, David Dewey signed up for instructional time with our Access Service Coordinator, Stephanie Johnson, in the VR Room for basic Photoshop & Powerpoint lessons. She reports that:

He wanted to use his camera to take digital images. Stephanie demonstrated to David how to create a folder on the PC desktop and save his images to that file from the flash card & instructed him in cropping, rotating and enhancing his photos in Photoshop. In Powerpoint, she showed David how to insert images, resize images to fit the slides, change backgrounds and rearrange the slide order. She demonstrated burning the Powerpoint presentation to CD. They did a test run of the presentation on a laptop hooked up to the LCD projector. Over the next several weeks, they would meet and go over the previous instruction – the presentations became more refined as David became more comfortable with the technology. David experimented on his own with his own PC using the Powerpoint tutorial she created to aid him in his self-learning."

You will find additional annual reviews in the July 2007 blog archive…

Director of the Krieble Library

Acquisitions and Cataloging Operations: Brief FY 2006-07

For budgetary reasons, we continue to keep our collection growth and cataloging operations at very modest levels.

238 records were added to our library catalog between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007. Clickable connection to our full catalog is available online at: http://www.lymeacademy.edu/The_Library/libwebpac.htm

FY06-07 Paid Acquisitions include: 32 books, 25 visual resources, 75 periodical subscriptions, & 6 database subscriptions. Additionally, we added Donations: 428 titles (catalogues or books) 4 visual resources (DVDs) and we created 49 DVDs.

Loan Services & Circulations for FY 2006-07

Between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the library circulated 8,401 items from our circulating collection. This is slight decrease from the circulation statistics of the previous year which reported 8,885 circulated

Overall 86% of the total annual circulations were items from our titles classed under the subject of art. The Top 3 circulation FY07 areas were in the following classifications:

• Sculpture, class range 730-739 820 (9.7%)
• Drawing, class range 740-749 1608 (19.1%)
• Painting, class range 750-759 3511 (41.7%)

During FY 07

• 69% of the total circulations were to BFA students,
• 14% to Continuing Education Students and
• 12% to Studio & Liberal Arts Faculty

· Our Interlibrary lending, college staff and post-baccalaureate and trustee community made much less of a demand on circulation. Together they made up the remaining 5%.

• On a related note, Interlibrary borrowing has continued with a healthy 89% fill rate. Interlibrary lending had a lower fill rate of 33.3%. Requests for materials from other libraries were very high this year. The students who were/are enrolled in the Art History minor were very much responsible for the increase in usage. The trend for materials requested was for in-depth academic materials regarding art subjects assigned in the art history classes. Items that were unfilled were generally hard-to-find titles that were not circulated by the lending libraries. In the case of article requests, some of the items were not to be loaned for free and the patron cancelled the request.

Donations Report FY 2006-07

The Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 acquisition cycle was a notable year due to the Gifts & Donations that we received to support the collections of the Krieble Library.

The Krieble Library accepts books and other materials as donations from individuals and organizations. When these materials match areas of research and instruction within the College, they are considered for cataloging into our collection. After donations are accepted, they are reviewed and the librarian makes the final decision on which materials are added to the collections. Those donations that are not added are still put to support the library by becoming part of our library surplus which is offered for sale at the annual Midsummer Festival Booksale. The revenue of the sales are then converted to funds to support the library's development.

During the Fall and Spring there were numerous donors that supported our library with donations of books and other resources. Alumni, faculty members and members of the general public donated many useful titles.

I am pleased to report Donations added include: 428 titles (catalogues or books) and 4 visual resources (DVDs). Also, several other donations remain in backlog and are still under consideration but have not formally been added to our collection.

We accepted several large book & material donations from:

The estate of Elisabeth Gordon Chandler, founder of Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts

Mr. Richard Y. Ballard, long time supporter of the college library.

John Morgan, scholarship contributor and family of alumn artist Corey Getchell.

Michael Sturges, supporting the library in the name of his late wife, Betsey Sturges, artist.

We appreciate each of our donors and thank all the donors that supported us in this past fiscal year.

New Image Reference CD for Monumental Sculpture

Introducing the Krieble Library's First Digital Image Project!
This new resource is now available for use in the Krieble Library!

American Sculptors – 19^th & 20^th Century
Public Monuments in the Figurative Tradition

This collection of 19^th & 20^th century American Public Monuments in the Figurative Tradition is annotated with reference to sculptor, site, historical and architectural context; elements important to a full appreciation of public sculpture.

Fifty-nine significant public sculptures, by 23 sculptors, are represented in 279 multiple views.

This project was funded by Pfizer Research & Development, Pfizer Inc to commemorate Marcia H. Murphy’s thirty-six year career, and her direction of their fine arts exhibition program. In pursuing her passion for fine art, Marcia supported local non-profit art organizations, including the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, and directed the Pfizer gift to the Lyme Academy and its Krieble Library to reinforce the College’s continuing excellence and focus on a thorough grounding in traditional art discipline.

The sculptures were photographed and donated by Michael Richman, Ph.D., Washington, D.C., art historian and authority on Daniel Chester French. Digital images were produced by ABC Photo Lab, Mystic, CT. The CD design is by Kelly Bigelow Becerra and George Ross. Editors: Loree Bourgoin, Jen Fowler, Marcia Murphy.

About the film:
"Director-producer Davis Guggenheim (HBO's "Deadwood") captures former Vice President Al Gore in the midst of waging a passionate campaign -- not for the White House, but for the environment. Laying out the facts of global warming without getting political, Gore makes a sobering impression in this Oscar-nominated doc on the audiences who hear his message, urging them to act "boldly, quickly and wisely" ... before it's too late to act at all." (www.netflix.com)
