stakeholders.”4Simply put, badges, or microcredentials, are typically small-scale awards for demonstrating insome fashion, competency in a particular area. Often, this is accomplished by carrying outstipulated tasks (e.g., answering 20 multiplication questions correctly or programming a robot tocarry out a particular function), but, badges can be awarded for ‘soft skills’ such as participatingin online forums or providing leadership on a particular project, in ways that are more subjectiveand at the discretion of the awarder. Badges in general are not new, with, for example, the BoyScouts and the armed forces having over a century of history awarding badges, ribbons, medalsand the like to indicate participation, mastery, and extraordinary

theSchool of Architecture, the Libraries were planning to develop a space that would provide 24-hraccess to students and faculty, irrespective of discipline, and to the community. The space wouldbe a creative hub for project-based, hands-on learning for everyone.The Dean of Libraries, in Deans Council and other meetings with her colleagues, shared theLibraries’ plans and endeavored to gain support from them. Unsurprisingly, there was someinitial skepticism because not everyone fully understood why the Libraries were undertakingsuch a project. Nevertheless, with persistent determination, and several face-to-face meetings,the leadership was able to convince most people of the utility and relevance of the project. Asplanning ensued, faculty members

” within their organization9.To support research and scholarly output, librarians at Oregon State University established the“Library Faculty Association (LFA)” with the explicit purpose of supporting a “culture ofscholarship” among library faculty who are expected to publish and conduct research10. The LFAprovides a “variety of venues in which library faculty discuss research-in-progress and presentcompleted projects to colleagues”10. Sapon-White et al distributed a survey to LFA members toassess the association and its activities and found that the majority of respondents thought thatthe LFA had contributed to creating a scholarly environment for Oregon State Universitylibrarians10.Despite the significant body of literature that exists on the

Thornburgh, aPittsburgh native, received his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh and the Universityhouses his archives documenting his many years in public office. The purpose of the grant is toencourage utilization of the archival materials through incorporation into new or existing coursesand to encourage student research in the collection and develop student recognition in the valueof using primary source materials.1Review of projects supported by past grants showed the variety of topics studied, including thoserelated to civil engineering.

who would report employing a degreed librarian.MethodologyThe survey was in two parts (see Appendix). One part was to be completed by a principal of thefirm. The other part was to be completed by the degreed librarian, if the firm had such a position.For the purposes of this study, the term “degreed librarian” refers to a person with a Masters inLibrary Science (MLS) or its equivalent. A "principal" is often an owner of the firm. Always they are in senior management positions andare in charge of projects. Since a principal would likely have more knowledge of the firm as awhole than a junior engineer, it was decided that a principal should complete a survey. Theminimum qualification for librarians in the United States is the MLS, although some

Our goal was a coarse break-down, as these are only a few general areas we believed to berelevant; the lack thus far of any alternate answers via the open-text box does not necessarilyconfirm our category selection.Interestingly, most of the participants were checking out kits for extracurricular activities: eithertheir own personal hobbies, their professional lives, or for entrepreneurial pursuits. Theseanswers may indicate that the library tech-lending program is supporting the personal hobbiesand interests of the campus community more effectively than course-related projects.

, analyzing, and interpreting bibliometric dataremains a challenge. Applying information visualization techniques to bibliometric maps creates graphicalrepresentations that enhance users’ understanding of network structure. With the increasing availability ofsophisticated tools that allow for easy data analysis, mapping bibliometric data has become more accessible tolibrarians.This paper examines the value of visualizing bibliometric data. Specifically, it relates the experience of usingthe Sci2 Tool to analyze the data collected for a citation analysis project and to visualize the co-authors, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling networks revealed by that analysis. Furthermore, it discusses thechallenges encountered while using the Sci2 Tool for
