Tennessee LibrariesVolume 56 Number 3 2006

From the Editor:

The main feature of this issue of Tennessee Libraries is our annual Tennessee Bibliography, listingmaterials published in the year 2005. Ed and Lucinda did a great job with this bibliography andaccomplished its compilation in record time. I really appreciate the work that went into it. Also in this issueis an article by UT SIS student LouAnn Blocker, providing a general overview of electronic resourcemanagement software (ERMS). We encourage student contributions, and hope that we make these firstpublication efforts a supportive experience for our authors. You'll find that there's no dedicatedwebliography in this issue; I decided that LouAnn did such a fine job with providing references and readingsrelated to ERMS that I could dispense with the webliography I'd begun on the topic.

A Brief Overview

by

LouAnn Blocker

With the rapid increase of electronic resources in the contemporary library environment, technical servicesdepartments are forced to look at their workflows and policies to manage this great change. Staff arespending more time than ever managing electronic resources, and the need to manage subscriptions in adifferent way has many libraries opening new positions titled “Electronic Resource Librarian,” or re-allocatingstaff to cover the need. Public services staff members have new challenges, too—from honoring licenseagreements through the course of their work to ascertaining whether or not their libraries have currentsubscriptions to some titles.

For the acquisitions and serials unit staff members and faculty, there is much more pre-order work forelectronic subscriptions than there is for print versions. Journals bought as part of a package may have to beordered as individual subscriptions if the package changes; vendors may change when the library negotiatesfor a better package deal. Issues related to implementing the subscription have also changed. Libraries nolonger wait for an invoice and print copies to arrive at their library. Instead, the electronic access is activatedfrom a remote location. Therefore, determining whether the library has access and maintaining that accessis different in the new environment. Check-in records no longer prompt the staff that something has goneawry; often a missing issue is not noticed until there is a patron complaint.

Decisions must be made about how to catalog and present these records for public view. Does the librarymake the decision to catalog each electronic subscription, knowing that the title may be cancelled in the nextround of negotiating ejournal packages? Should there be two records for the journal, one for the print andone for the electronic version, or just one?

Public services is also affected by the change. Interlibrary Loan staff members need quick access tolicensing agreements in the course of filling requests. Reference staff members need information to helppatrons troubleshoot access problems. These questions are increasing, as users call about why they can’taccess journals vital to their research. Those users expect knowledgeable answers from referencelibrarians.

Electronic Resource Management programs (ERMS) are software packages that hold great promise in themanagement of electronic resources, from subscriptions to licenses to troubleshooting. Some companiesare developing products that work with existing integrated library systems (ILS), while others are standaloneproducts. For example, SIRSI and Dynix/Horizon market their product’s strength in working with their ILSproducts, while ExLibris and Endeavor’s software can be both integrated into the ILS or standalone. SerialsSolutions, a management service, offers a product with a great deal of report creation capabilities and easyimporting of data, but it cannot integrate with an existing ILS. Even vendors like EBSCO and Harrassowitzoffer Electionic Resource Management products (1, 2). A list of vendors currently offering ERMs appears atthe end of this article.

All of these products have different features. Libraries will find each system’s advantages and disadvantageswill vary, depending on the library’s ILS, size, and needs. Some only work with the library’s ILS. Somestandalone products don’t allow for customized fields that certain libraries will find useful. Others haverestrictive password systems that would not allow many of the library staff to see the data, while others arenot restrictive enough with their password management.

One major consideration is whether or not the product will work with your data as it is. If large amounts ofdata will have to be re-keyed, or transferred to an intermediary format such as Excel spreadsheets, a librarymay consider waiting to purchase an ERM until they have their data in a transferable form. Alternately, thelibrary may decide that an ERM is not the best choice for them, considering the amount of manual transferthat will have to take place.

Some of the features of different ERMs are: subscription alerts; a single point of maintenance for librarystaff; the ability to manage URIs (Universal Resource Indicators); password management; access toordering and licensing information, by both technical and public services staff, while only authorized staff canmake changes; report generation in various formats such as MARC, Excel or XML; the ability to work withconsortial models or local data; and management of print subscriptions that accompany electronicsubscriptions (3).

The Digital Library Federation (DLF) has written a report outlining guidelines for these products (the DLFERMI, Electronic Resource Management Initiative) that examines standards, orders, implementation,maintenance, and evaluation of ERMS (4). Almost all the products on the market or in development usethese guidelines in developing their products. The main areas of promise for ERMS, and which areaddressed in the DLF ERMI, are selection, ordering, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation.

Each library must decide whether or not such a product will meet its needs and would be worth spendingmore time training staff to use it. Some libraries may simply decide to reorganize workflows, hire more staff,and/or use a home-grown relational database to meet their needs. For example, Middle Tennessee StateUniversity uses an Access-based in-house ERM designed by Melvin Davis.

Other solutions do not provide all the functions that an ERM would, but solve some problems. The state ofGeorgia designed and implemented their own product, GALILEO Local Resource Intergration (GLRI) thatallows libraries across their system to determine access to resources from one location. Smaller libraries getsupport and training from the librarians at the University of Georgia, where the system is managed. For moreinformation, see http://smartech.gatech.edu/bitstream/1853/10290/3/YoursMineErms.pdf

Some questions to ponder when considering purchasing an ERM are:

1. Is your data in a format that will allow for easy export to an ERM?2. What features are available now and which are promised?3. Do you have specialized local data to consider?4. Will you receive alerts when subscriptions are coming due?5. Can you pick and choose which features and functions you need, or must you choose an all-or-

nothing package?6. How well does the product work with link resolvers?7. Does the product meet consortial needs?8. How much data can be automatically loaded, how much will need to be re-keyed or kept in an

intermediary format?

These points will be important to each library as it decides what steps to take to manage the ever-increasingload of electronic resource subscriptions. A place to start might be to investigate the product offered by thecompany that is your ILS provider. If you are a small library, one of the products offered by a single vendorsuch as EBSCO might be suitable for your needs. Talking with other librarians in your state or consortiumabout their work processes and plans for the future would be useful. The Tennessee Library Association

sponsors an Electronic Resources Management Roundtable. For another regional perspective, seeAPSU librarian Michael Hooper's TLA Annual Conference presentation about ERMS. The presentationwas published, along with other conference proceedings, in Tennessee Libraries 56:2.

Bachelda, F. Lynne. Guide to the Natchez Trace Parkway. Birmingham: Menasha Ridge Press, 2005.176 pp. ISBN 0-89732-595-8.

Bachelda, a freelance writer and researcher, applies her appreciation of nature to a detailed travel guide ofthe 444 miles which make up the road between Nashville and Natchez. Although activity can be traced asfar back as the Paleo Indian Hunters, it is most famous for the time it served as a primary passagewaybetween 1790 and 1820 for the southwest territory. Indian mounds, a mysterious death, wild turkeys, andplantation ruins represent a sample of the sights which await on this interstate alternative.

By arranging travel interests by milepost, this reference would be a useful companion to those driving,hiking, biking or horseback riding. The introduction offers a general history of the trace as well as preparesvisitors for the rules, weather and direction of the trace. Page insets offer further information regarding thepeople, tribes, and activities that existed in the area. The exo and verso highlight mileposts based onsubjects like “The Trace Top Twenty,” “The Old Trace,” “Natural Wonders,” and “Civil War and Other MilitaryHistory.” One chapter is a chronology of events beginning with Hernando De Soto spending the night inChickasaw Villages and ends with the opening of the final segment of the Trace near Jackson, Mississippi.Photographs include the Sunken Trace, Emerald Mound, Windsor Ruins, Elvis' birthplace, Stanton Hall, andcypress swamp. Bachelda has also included a bibliography which composed of audio, books, pamphletsand internet sites.

Anyone with an interest in history will appreciate the plethora of resources available for further reading.Appendixes of nearby accommodations, visitor's centers, state parks, and sub-district offices are alsoincluded. This would be a great purchase for academic and public libraries. The author's research efforts areto be applauded. The inclusion of bike rentals, non-vehicular campgrounds, and restaurants means that thetraveler's every need has been anticipated.

Campbell, Jacqueline Glass. When Sherman Marched North from the Sea: Resistance on theConfederate Home Front. Chapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, 2005. 192 pp. ISBN 0-8078-2809-2.

When Sherman Marched North from the Sea: Resistance on the Confederate Home Front is probably a littlemistitled. Rather than being a wholistic study of all Confederate actions to counter the Northern invaders, thebook is a focused treatment of how Southern women responded to the invasion. The book is more about the“home” than the “home front” and certainly would be better described if it had the word “women” somewherein the title. Author Jacqueline Glass Campbell claims her work “blends civil war, gender, and military history,”(7) and to some extent it does, but the preponderance of the mixture is unequivocally gender. To that end,Campbell does an excellent job.

Campbell makes a clear distinction between Sherman 's march to the sea and his march north from the sea.She further subdivides the latter to distinguish between Sherman 's operations in South Carolina and NorthCarolina . This is where Campbell is at her best. Her distinctions are clear and compelling. She wonderfullycaptures the Confederate patriotism in South Carolina as the birthplace of secession as well as the Federalquest for revenge there for the same reason. Campbell argues that women in South Carolina defended theirhomes with a pride that amounted to arrogance and evoked their Southern womanhood as a badge of honorthat in many ways gave them a unique power against Sherman 's army that even a Confederate soldierwould not have had.

Campbell explains a different dynamic in North Carolina where feelings concerning secession were moremixed and the society had felt more burdens throughout the war than the South Carolinians had. The arrivalof Sherman 's army in North Carolina helped unite a somewhat fractured society against a common enemy.In many ways this served to revitalize a people that had previously grown war weary.

When Sherman Marched North From the Sea: Resistance on the Confederate Home Front is a revision ofCampbell 's doctoral dissertation from Duke University . It retains much of the character of a dissertation withbarely 100 pages of text and over 50 pages of endnotes and bibliography.

Campbell 's thesis is that Southern women did not respond passively to Sherman 's invasion but insteadfaced the enemy with a reinvigorated loyalty to the Confederate cause. It is gender history written inacademic form. If the reader is looking for such a treatment he will be well-pleased. If, on the other hand, heexpects something broader and less argumentative, he will be left only partially satisfied.

Carmichael, Peter S. The Last Generation: Young Virginians in Peace, War, and Reunion . ChapelHill: University of North Carolina Press, 2005. 360 pp. ISBN 0-8078-2948-X.

The Last Generation: Young Virginians in Peace, War, and Reunion is a generational study of 121 Virginiamen who endeavored to find their place in the political and social climate of mid-nineteenth century Virginia.

The “last generation” sobriquet is applied because they were the last generation to grow up with slavery as

an institution. The author, Peter S. Carmichael, is an assistant professor of history at the University of NorthCarolina at Greensboro and has published other books on the Civil War and Virginians.

Through eight chapters the author sets forth a chronological narrative of the maturation of these youngVirginians and their struggle to create an identity in a changing environment. As the last generation beganthe process of personal and political maturation they came to believe that the prior generation was ahindrance to both Virginia 's and their own individual progress. These young Virginians discoveredthemselves to be powerless against the “old fogies” while they struggled to fulfill their social and economicdesires. These struggles led the last generation to embrace Christianity as the way to “revive and reviseVirginia character.” By becoming Christian gentlemen the last generation would achieve the ‘proper'manliness as exhibited by their grandfather's generation when Virginia was a leader in the nation.

When war threatened their desired way of life the last generation was eager to fight in order to prove theirmanliness to their elders and secure a place for themselves in society. Furthermore, they desired to returnthe state of Virginia to what they believed to be its rightful place as a leader in the nation, as it had beenafter the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately, 28% of the 121 Virginians in Carmichael 's study did not survivethe war.

Most of these young Virginians became second echelon officers in the Army of Northern Virginia whereCarmichael found them to be paternalistic and “negotiators in the practical battle to earn nonslaveholderallegiance to the Confederate cause.” The last generation was steadfast in its loyalty to the Confederacywhich “comes as no surprise, for members of the last generation with their strong ties to the South's rulingclass, had everything to lose – their material and ideological interest in slavery, their ambition for publicrecognition, their honor, and, most of all, their sense of national identity.”

The final chapter “From Conservative Unionism to Old Fogydom” relates how the idealistic last generationbecame, in one sense, the sort of men that they had railed against in their youth. Through their youthfulstruggle to find a place in the political and social landscape of antebellum Virginia and their war experienceswas born “the foundation of which Southern ideologues would build their Lost Cause dogma … whiteSoutherners were a truly Christian people who defended a noble way of life against an enemy whoruthlessly waged war on property and civilians.”

Illustrations and maps interspersing the text enrich Carmichael 's narrative. Researchers will gratefullyacknowledge the inclusion of an appendix with twelve tables detailing the socio-economic characteristics ofthe last generation, notes encompassing sixty pages, and a twenty-page bibliography.

The Last Generation is recommended for libraries with an extensive Civil War or Southern History collection.

Hartzell, John Calvin. Ohio Volunteer: The Childhood & Civil War Memoirs Of Captain John CalvinHartzell, OVI. Columbus: Ohio University Press, 2005. 250 pp. ISBN 0821416065.

Ohio Volunteer: The Childhood and Civil War Memoirs of Captain John Calvin Hartzell, OVI began as thememoirs of an Ohio farmer who volunteered for the Union Army during the Civil War. Fifty members ofHartzell's family signed a circular letter to encourage him to write down the story of his life before he died.The amount of detail included in this monograph is remarkable, because while this was a first hand account,it was tempered by the layers of experience and hindsight of nearly four decades. What might have beensimply a wealth of primary resource material has become a scholarly document because of Switzer'sresearch; the editor backed up Hartzell's statements with supporting primary source documentation.

The first half of the book dealt with Hartzell's childhood. He discussed how clothes, religion, money, farming,discipline, elder care, and education were managed in mid-nineteenth century rural Ohio. After Hartzelljoined the Union Army, the book transitioned into details about training, battles, soldier transportation,foodstuffs, and wartime discipline. Hartzell spent much of his enlistment engaged in the campaigns of theCumberland Gap region where he participated in the battles of Perryville and Missionary Ridge and thesiege of Chattanooga. Hartzell discussed his understanding of why the war began and the reasons middleclass men remained in the Union Army even after their enlistment was up. The accounts of major battles

from an volunteer soldier's standpoint rather than a general or commander's perspective was a fresh view ofthe Civil War.

Hartzell gives a lively, often humorous, account of his life. This book is an excellent combination of primarysources and scholarly research. Switzer polishes a wonderful gem with his well-researched explanation ofHartzell's life and how it related to the larger picture of the Civil War. However, considering Switzer onlycontributed to the monograph through annotated citations, they should have been formatted as footnotesrather than endnotes, allowing the reader to take in both the story and the research at the same time withouthaving to dig for the scholar's work. This would be an excellent book for libraries collecting in this area ofhistory. Those interested in the day to day minutiae of a soldier's life during the Civil War, be they researcheror enthusiast, will find this a satisfying resource.

Molloy, Johnny. Best in Tent Camping, Tennessee: A Guide for Car Campers Who Hate RVs,Concrete Slabs, and Loud Portable Stereos. Birmingham: Menasha Ridge Press, 2005. 184 pp. ISBN0897326083.

Ever wonder what to do in Tennessee when football season is over? Johnny Molloy has a fewsuggestions…50 as a matter of fact. From the mountains of East Tennessee to the Mississippi delta area ofWest Tennessee, the author describes the campgrounds that he would recommend for tent campers whoare looking for scenic and quiet settings.

Most of the campgrounds are in state parks, but there are several that are operated by the U.S. ForestService or the National Park Service.

Johnny Molloy is an outdoor writer based in Tennessee . He has written 25 books based on his extensiveexperience backpacking and canoe camping throughout the United States. Best in Tent Camping,Tennessee joins other volumes written about Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Wisconsin, WestVirginia, the Carolinas, and the Southern Appalachians and Smoky Mountains.

The book is divided by region (West, Middle, and East) with campgrounds arranged alphabetically within theregion where they are located. For each campground, Molloy describes the points of interest in the park, thecamp sites, and available activites (which can run the gamut from hiking, horseback riding, fishing,swimming, volleyball, and tennis). A box labeled “Key Information” includes the address of the campground,contact information, how sites are assigned, number of sites, amenities at the sites, facilities, fees, parking,elevation, and restrictions concerning pets and alcohol consumption. A second box gives directions to thecampground. Each entry includes a map of the campground sites. Molloy also has a rating system thatevaluates each campground according to beauty, privacy, spaciousness, quiet, security, and cleanliness. Anintroduction explains his rating system and encourages readers to call ahead, visit web sites, makereservations if available, and ask questions. The book concludes with two appendixes: “Camping EqiupmentChecklist” and “Sources of Information.”

Best in Tent Camping, Tennessee contains a wealth of useful information for the reader ready to experiencean outdoor adventure. With a price tag of $14.95, it is also a bargain. This book is recommended foracademic, public, and high school libraries.

White, Betsy K. Great Road Style: the Decorative Arts Legacy of Southwest Virginia and NortheastTennessee. Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press , 2006. pp. ISBN 0813923522.

By surveying over 2000 handmade objects interspersed throughout Southwestern Virginia and NortheastTennessee , Betsy White showcases the skill of the artisans operating near the Great Wagon Road prior tothe 1940's. Originating from the Great Warrior's Path, an Indian trail which originated in the Great Lakes andran through Pennsylvania , Maryland and into Virginia , the Great Road would become a primary route formigration westward. As a result of this expansion, settlers provided a market for furniture, pottery, textiles,baskets, guns and metalwork.

Through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts Advancement Grant, a team of curators and afield researcher designed a survey known as the Cultural Heritage Project. They consulted the Museum ofEarly Southern Decorative Arts for methodology. Using the minute amount of previously published articles,Roddy Moore of the Blue Ridge Institute at Ferrum College; Wallace B. Gusler and Richard Miller of ColonialWilliamsburg; Vaughan Webb of the Blue Ridge Institute; Collen Callahan, Curator Emeritus of Costumesand Textiles at the Valentine Richmond History Center; and Marcus King, embarked on the fieldwork thatwould cover 30,000 miles and 2800 hours. From this original research, the team created a database whichhoused photographs, slides and data sheets.

Chapters cover furniture, chairs, textiles, pottery, painting and decoration, metalwork, baskets, and musicalinstruments. Photographs dominate the pages followed by explication of the trade, time period and materialsused in the object's creation. Discussion of the artisan's heritage and location allow the reader to follow apotter's development and migration. For example, Charles Decker, a German Immigrant, settled inPennsylvania and gained employment at the Remmey Pottery Factory in 1857. He would later migrate toSouthwest Virginia where he set up a pottery operation. By 1873, the Great Road would grant him furtherpassage into Washington County, Tennessee where he would establish a new business called the KeystonePottery near the banks of the Nolichucky River. This type of narrative continues with other artisansthroughout each chapter. A list of the known workers in each occupation from the 1850 and 1860 censusrecords concludes each chapter. A bibliography and index offer further research and ease of use.

A definite purchase for an academic library and an optional purchase for the public libraries in the areassurveyed. Due to this publication containing original research, it makes an enormous contribution about thehistory, tradesmen and artists of the area. The only criticism being that Tennessee isn't as equallyrepresented in representation of works.

Kim Hicks, Director, Madisonville Public Library

My question concerns the difficulty of convincing local funding bodies to give us enough money todo what we have to. I was wondering if the State Library and Archives is working with the Secretaryof State to change any of the “recommendations” into laws. I am thinking specifically about theMinimum Standards and the suggestion that libraries become a line item of the funding body’sbudget rather than a “donation.” Many of us share the experience that our funding bodies, be itcounty or city or both, will not do anything they are not required to do when it comes to libraries.Suggestions are great and I am grateful to have the minimum standards to compare our standingand progress, but when I brought them before our aldermen and commissioners their comment wasthat since they were not law they were not obligated to follow them and were not willing to spend themoney to do so.

This is a great question and a problem many libraries across the state, as well as the country, face.Enacting library legislation that would require minimum standards would be one way to achieve somebaseline of adequate library funding, but getting a high level of local library support can never be achievedthrough library legislation alone. You say that you took the minimum standards to the alderman andcommissioners. If your library board and a group of concerned citizens took that information to those sameofficials and requested that adequate library resources were provided, things would probably change muchfaster. Your alderman and commissioners expect you to always request additional funding but if a group ofcitizens insist on it, they would be more likely to respond favorably.

Mary Ellen Pozzebon, Web Services Librarian, Middle TennesseeState University

State-wide collaborations and consortial arrangements are playing a key role in the acquisitions andelectronic resources goals in all types of libraries. How do you think Tennessee can be looked as amodel for cooperation among libraries?

I am extremely proud of the work that Tenn-Share has accomplished through its initiative to pool money forthe purchase of statewide access to Literature Resource Center. When Tenn-Share representativesapproached Secretary Darnell to expand TEL, he challenged them to raise money which he would matchwith available federal dollars. Aubrey Mitchell, Associate Dean of Libraries, University of Tennessee, andCathy Evans, Director of Libraries, Saint Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis, co-chairs of Tenn-Share’sTEL Phase II steering committee, called on their colleagues around the state to meet the challenge. One byone, libraries across the state, ranging from small private high schools to large universities and everything inbetween, including Memphis Public Library, the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt, pledged theneeded funds. So, just like NPR, those who can afford to contribute do so but everyone in the statebenefits because all gain access. I am already looking forward to the next initiative such as this.

TEL is widely known and used by students in secondary and higher education. How can TELbecome known to the general public as a source of information that is an alternative to the Internet?

I don't actually think we are going to be able to get people to stop using Google or Yahoo as their firstmethod of searching for information in order to use TEL. I think we need to make it so that people can get toTEL from Google and Yahoo. Libraries and library systems are incredibly difficult to use - they incorporatetoo much jargon, are difficult to navigate and usually return results that require a lot of deciphering - nowonder people would rather go straight to the Internet where you usually get something on your subjecteven if it is bad information. Thomson Gale has a new product they are working on that I think all of thevendors will soon be copying as well. It is called AccessMyLibrary and allows patrons to query their favoritesearch engine and get journal and magazine articles from InfoTrac OneFile and Expanded Academic in theirresults. This should be the way we use TEL.

Scott Cohen, Library Director, Jackson State CommunityCollege, Jackson, TN

Do you feel that privatization of public libraries in Tennessee will have an impact in the future?

The privatization of library management has less impact on the community than the local level of supportand funding of that library. If a library board wishes to privatize simply to save money and decrease taxes,the library will suffer. Public libraries should be supported with tax dollars. Additional fundraising is aworthwhile endeavor for all libraries but should not be used to raise operating funds - if the community doesnot wish to support the library with an adequate taxing structure, no amount of fundraising can compensatein the long-term.

James Staub, Government Documents Librarian, TennesseeState Library and Archives

How did your dog use the Tennessee Electronic Library?

My dog has actually benefited from TEL although I helped her with the typing and some of the bigger words. Emma,my doberman, has approximately 100 extra-hepatic shunts that cannot be fixed surgically - she basically has only 10%liver functions. To deal with this she can only eat a special kibble and has to take three medications twice a day. Well,she decided a couple of months ago that she was tired of her very expensive, very bland food and went on a hungerstrike. After refusing to eat for days, I decided we had to do something. So, we turned to TEL and did some researchon how to create a diet for humans with liver problems. Emma started getting people food and is much happier withher Mama. Turns out she loves cottage cheese and brown rice too!

Thomas Aud, Director, Jackson-Madison County Public Library

Is there any effort in Tennessee to allow public libraries to be taxing districts or other arrangementsfor local funding?

Having worked in KY, where the libraries are their own local taxing districts, I saw firsthand the benefits ofthis funding model. The library board was able to set its own tax rate and therefore could determine anadequate budget and the necessary tax rate to achieve that budget. However, establishing such tax districtsin Tennessee would necessitate an interpretation of the current Tennessee code.

The Tennessee Electronic Library is one of the best things that has happened to Tennessee. Moreand more people are using the electronic databases, but small libraries are so limited in funding topurchase additional ones. In your opinion, which databases would be the most beneficial (providethe greatest bang for the buck) for small libraries to purchase?

If I were purchasing any additional databases for a small public library, I would first acquire a testingsoftware package like "Learn-A-Test" or Testing and Education Resource Center. We all know that theASVAB, GED, and ACT books rarely get checked out more than once because they rarely return after thatfirst trip out the door.

If I had any additional money, I would get some newspapers. Newsbank just started a new deal where youcan pick and choose specific newspapers and purchase them individually. So, I would try to at least get mylocal newspaper and the New York Times.
