We look at Yik Yak through the lens of library ethnography, suggesting that anonymous social media can reveal not only complaints and commentary about library services and spaces, but also uncover students’ emotional and social experience with research and study space. Looking at social media posts on Yik Yak, we uncover common threads of social dynamics, expectations of quiet space, and frustration with studying, all of which increase our understanding of student experiences in US and international libraries.Item Open Access Interlibrary Loan - Reference Collaboration: Filling Hard-to-Find Faculty Requests(Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, and Electronic Reserves, 2011-01) Bean, Margaret; Rigby, MiriamWe have implemented a successful in-house outsourcing program between University of Oregon Library departments. Collaboration between interlibrary loan staff and subject specialists appropriates ILLiad e-mail routing capabilities to enable subject specialists to join the workflow in processing difficult ILL requests.
