Aloha!

On behalf of the Board of the International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information

Centers and the University of Hawaii at Manoa it is a distinct pleasure to welcome you to Honolulu. Aloha!

The theme of this year’s conference is Blurring the Edges: the Osmosis of Ideas. The “What” of libraries and

information centers is an enormous undertaking. Creation, maintenance, discovery and delivery of physical and

electronic resources consumes most of our time. But what about the “How” of those resources? How did they

get created? Who created them? What “Whats” are the future of our profession? Blurring the Edges: The

Osmosis of Ideas will explore not only the “What” but “How” information, tools and resources are created.

Where do ideas for innovation originate? Who inside and outside of our profession collaborates on ideas? How

can you bring a new perspective to what we do to create something totally new and unexpected?

We hope that you will find this conference rewarding, informative and fun. We know you’ll encounter new ideas

and new friends. IAMSLIC is a unique organization and we want to inspire you in your career, your workplace and

with your IAMSLIC family. Let us know if there is any way we can be of help to you. Enjoy!

Aquatic and Marine Science Librarian Responsibilities: Current and Evolving Roles (Panel)

At the 2016 IAMSLIC conference in Merida, we held initial discussions on the evolving roles of librarians and information

professionals in aquatic and marine science institutions. In order to test some of the assumptions that were made

regarding the current mix of librarian responsibilities, a survey was distributed to the membership to gather data on the

degree to which members are engaged in specific areas of service and practice. Respondents were also asked to identify

responsibilities that have been decreasing in emphasis and areas where they anticipate future growth. The survey findings

will be presented.

Implementing a 3D Printing Service at a Marine Biology Library (Poster)

As methods of research and scholarship evolve, so must library services and infrastructure. Discussions with faculty,

graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at our marine biology research station revealed a pervasive need for 3D

printing technology across several research groups, even those conducting primarily laboratory work. Members of the

community reached out to me to explain how they would make use of 3D-printed materials, and what their specific needs

are. Needs range from making custom field and laboratory equipment to replicating the shape of marine animals (in toto

or their various parts) for testing hydrodynamics or biomechanics in the lab. Many researchers here are already engaged

in 3D printing, but currently order prints from a 3rd party supplier or use facilities on our main campus. All expressed great

enthusiasm and support for having a local 3D printer. This poster will describe the rationale for and process of acquiring a

3D printer for our library, including how I selected a model from the wide range of options available.

Innovations in Resources, Services and Communication Face the Change in Scientific Publishing Landscape

The academic publishing system is the way for communicating and sharing new science and research findings in the

science community. New science and innovations – the outputs of research are the results of this system. The landscape of

scientific publishing has continually evolved over the past years. Open access and citation databases are set to bring a

revolution to science publishing, and science should not be “locked”. The rapidly changing landscape of scientific

publishing has positive effects on both authors and publishers: higher pressure on scientists to publish, publishers of

scientific journals can now use electronic publishing as the main way to present research results, open access in

publishing, easy to manage citations (citation databases, reference management tools). However, there are also

challenges for low-income countries in the new publishing model. Today peer review panel of international scientific

publishers requires use of references in scientific papers found in high-level peer-reviewed citations databases. In the

case of low-income countries, local journals are often physically and digitally locked in traditional libraries, and not open

access, making it difficult to generate citation databases for articles from local journals

Collaborative Access to Aquaculture and Fisheries Science Information: Malawi’s Experience

There is a lot of information on aquaculture and fisheries in the world. Most of this information is generated through research

conducted by researchers, scientists and scholars among others. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT)

has eased the access of aquaculture and fisheries science information in electronic form through the use of internet, intranets,

CD-ROMs or computer databases. There is limited accessibility because the information might be located on one place.

Accessing to aquaculture and fisheries science information has its challenges in Malawi. The challenges are lack of locally

generated information online, inability to acquire information, reluctance to deposit information, unavailability of ICT

equipment for accessing online information; and lack of knowledge by information users to find the information they need.

These challenges could be resolved with a close working relationship between librarians and scientists. This would ensure that

information generated by scientists is captured and collated into well known locations. At the same time information could be

unearthed by librarians for their use.

Factors Associated with the Information-seeking Behavior of Filipino Scientists, Researchers and Research Staff at SEAFDEC/

AQD

This study was undertaken to determine the information‐seeking behavior (ISB) of Filipino fisheries scientists, researchers and

research staff at Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD). The overall purpose

of the study was to determine the ISB in terms of information searching and information using and the factors affecting

thereof. The factors studied were personal, work or role-related, environmental and psychological. Findings indicated that

regardless of the factors majority of the respondents had visited the library less frequently, to ask assistance from the librarian

and to browse the current acquisitions. When searching for information, majority preferred using the Internet than the Library.

It was recommended that SEAFDEC/AQD Library should continue to strengthen its resources and services to better reach its

clienteles. Moreover, the library should also strengthen its current networks and linkages that enabled them to provide

answers to the information needs of their clienteles that were not available at the Library.

A Survey of the Information-seeking Behavior (ISB) of Aquatic Science Librarians in Response to A Query

Access to quality information plays a major role in a successful research. However, with the Internet, low-quality information

has proliferated as anyone could post information online. Nevertheless, several studies had been conducted proving that the

Internet is the first information resource among different professionals mainly because of the convenience it gives to them.

On the other hand, there are limited numbers of literatures about the preference of the librarians on providing answers to the

information needs of their clienteles, and there is none among aquatic science librarians. Therefore, to provide an answer to

this information gap, a survey will be conducted to investigate if aquatic science librarians like other professionals would opt to

go to the Internet first rather than the library when searching for information.

Scoping Marine Science Libraries: Understanding the Evolving Environment

Marine science libraries are an integral element of the research landscape and contribute to the understanding of the

environment and ecosystems. These libraries are an important resource available to the community of researchers. Yet,

some marine science libraries have persisted and continue to thrive while others have ceased to exist beyond the

electronic resources they provide. This scoping study will examine the current state of marine science libraries to identify

best practices and services. The results will address: 1. Why have some marine libraries persisted when others have ceased

their operations 2. What are the core requirements of marine libraries that persist and how can they be applied to other

libraries. As the research landscape changes, it is important to ensure that the marine science libraries offer the

researchers the resources and programs they need.

Researchers, Teachers and Librarians: Rival or Allies of Scientific Communication?

The purpose of the paper is to explain how the librarian introduces a learning unit for students to develop informational

and written communication skills within a curriculum in the studies of Specialization in Coastal Management in the Centro

Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas of Instituto Politecnico Nacional at La Paz, B.C.S., Mexico. The study specifies the

work activities between researchers, teachers and librarians where differences in professional optics are complemented by

a common goal, the goal of training individuals with informational and written communication skills. The importance of this

work is that librarians from other academic institutions can use the experience of the process of creation and professional

collaboration in the promotion of information literacy.

Making Connections With Linked Open Data (Poster)

The MBLWHOI Library is participating in an NSF EarthCube grant called GeoLink. The project brings together experts from

the geosciences, computer science and library science to develop Semantic Web components that support discovery and

reuse of data and knowledge. The Library collaborated with scientific users, data managers, DSpace engineers, experts in

ontology design patterns, and user interface developers to make the Woods Hole Open Access Server (WHOAS), a DSpace

repository, available as linked open data. The Library also created a component (widget) that will display in repository

records that have related information in one of the partner resources. WHOAS includes hundreds of technical reports,

theses, and articles, many with cruise information listed as a subject. Javascript was added to the page that looks for a

subject meta tag indicating a cruise, grabs the string, and searches GeoLink for cruises with matching labels. All of the code

the Library developed is freely available in GitHub.

Blurring the Edges of Disciplines - Art and Science

Wisconsin Sea Grant (WSG)-supported research is ultimately relevant to people of all backgrounds, regardless of age,

socioeconomic status, or education level. WSG seeks out a diversity of collaborators to reach a diverse range of audiences

with its outreach and education efforts in order to inspire a science-informed society. In its work as an outreach component

of WSG, the Wisconsin Water Library has held several events in recent years in support of this multidisciplinary approach.

This poster will highlight recent activities where unique collaborations were forged and surprising common ground was

found between artists and scientists approaching wicked problems related to water. One recent event in the spring of 2016

had the library assisting two UW-Madison MFA student artists organizing “Poly Pledge” events to raise awareness of plastic

in the Great Lakes and area waters. The artists set up events around campus to reach students and the library sponsored a

program of talks featuring a scientist presenting his current research on micro plastics and the artists presenting their

interpretation of the issue. The event finished with an opportunity to experience the piece inspired by science: a

human-powered vending machine that dispenses bags in exchange for signed ‘Poly Pledges.’

Achieving Revolutionary Library Transformation Incrementally

Over the past five years the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport Corporate Research and Information Center

(CRIC) has been transformed into a 21st century information and resource center, offering streamlined on-demand library

resources and extensive information management services via the Research Commons. In 2012, the command considered

shuttering the library. Leadership accepted an eleventh hour proposal to incrementally transform services while cutting

resources, and in less than five years the CRIC has become the most progressive Warfare Center library and a hub for

innovation. Progress has been strategically incremental, both to overcome limited resources and to prevent service

innovations from alienating our users. I will relay how this was accomplished, from early planning to execution, and the

processes we put in place to identify and evolve services anticipation of our user’s needs.

Making Waves and Breaking Through - Promoting Innovation in the Library Discussion Group

Libraries exist in a transformative and interdisciplinary world and can drive critical information shifts through innovative

services and programs. Yet, library personnel may lack the necessary funding or the support of colleagues to break through

and succeed. In order to promote innovation, it is important to develop the skills to envision new opportunities. Blurring

the edges of diverse settings that have similar user expectations and applying ideas presented in Fred Lee's "If Disney Ran

Your Hospital" to the library, participants will discuss how to create an innovation environment through imagination,

anticipation of future needs, and understanding of the user experience.

Collaborative Explorations: Preserving and Analyzing an Historical Oceanographic Research Vessel Data Archive

The MLML/MBARI Research Library at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, has begun a project to process and analyze a

small archive of records and data from a 1972 expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula by Jacques Cousteau on the Calypso

research vessel. This project brings together collaborators with expertise in information science, biogeochemistry and

physical oceanography to work across disciplines to explore the historical and scientific aspects of this archive. This paper

will reveal some of the varied stories embedded in this archive, including the story of pioneering biochemist and faculty

member at San Jose State University, Dr. Ellen Weaver and her work on chlorophyll fluorescence and early remote sensing

measurements of phytoplankton. The author will also present initial data rescue activities to evaluate, process, digitize,

and provide metadata for the paper-based data sheets, strip charts, and ship’s log that make up this archive. Future

opportunities for data analysis working with biogeochemistry and physical oceanography faculty and students will be

discussed.

Undergraduate Material in Science Libraries: Current Practices

The digital age has changed the way we share and store scholarly material. Undergraduate material is increasingly being

deposited in institutional repositories or made accessible online, allowing for this research to be widely available to other

scholars. This can create opportunities and challenges for libraries. To better understand the current methods used in

science libraries for the collection, access, and preservation of undergraduate material, a pilot survey was conducted of the

Cyamus regional group. Now, we are interested in gathering a clearer picture by surveying the entire IAMSLIC membership.

Marine and aquatic libraries in university institutions are the target audience for our survey with the aim of understanding

current methods and challenges specific to science libraries. Examining current process and challenges will offer new

perspectives on the issues associated with having undergraduate material online and provide an opportunity to

understand our evolving responsibilities as librarians. A poster at the IAMSLIC conference will illustrate the results of this

study and discuss how changes in access, preservation, and collection have benefited or harmed the scientific community.

From Ideas to Creation: Using 3D Technologies For Innovative Research

Historically, libraries have always been very open, inclusive, and creative about the community participation and

knowledge sharing. Recently, libraries are getting more involved in collaborative research and assisting with the

applications of innovative emerging technologies for exploration, grant activities and curriculum design. One example of an

emerging technology is three-dimensional (3D) printing, with over 425 libraries (1) in the United States offering some level

of such services. Furthermore, 3D printing provides a new creative and innovative platform for almost every discipline in

education and research and has far reaching impact with substantial impact on the field of marine science. For example, a

3D printed model of a coral reef mimics the natural site to imitate ocean microbiome space, and 3D printing models have

been used as a fish tag to catch big fishes. This interactive presentation will demonstrate an overview of 3D technologies in

the libraries, staffing & training, collaborative initiatives with students and researcher, where to find models and its

applications in marine science.

Meeting the Fairy: Think in New Ways to Create New Resources

This workshop will be led by a beneficent fairy. I will slip into the role of a fairy and the main aim is to encourage the

participants to think in new ways. Based on several short activities, and with a little help of the fairy, we may re-discover

our work-related wishes. The subjects will be created by the attendees themselves during the workshop. Furthermore this

collaboration will be open, every IAMSLIC member will be asked to take part in the way he or she wants to do. I think this

workshop profile would be interesting for the IAMSLIC Annual Conference too. The workshop bring in a new perspective

on what we do to create something totally new and unexpected.

The Wonderful World of Corals: Harnessing Basic Science to Address an Ecological Crisis

Coral reefs in Hawaii and across the globe continue to decline in health due to intensifying climate change, resource extraction and pollution. Although the future looks bleak, certain corals and reefs are not only surviving, but thriving in conditions that kill others. Dr. Gates will unveil the complex biology that underpins this natural variation in the response of corals to stress. She will then discuss how this knowledge can be harnessed to develop tools that build resilience on reefs, arresting and improving the prognosis for coral reefs.

Science Literacy Week: Building Partnerships Through a Passion for Discovery

Launched in 2014 by a graduate of the University of Toronto, Science Literacy Week now partners libraries, museums, and

universities across Canada through a passion for discovery and sharing. The week-long event unites inquiry and zeal,

highlighting Canadian scientists and science communicators. Librarians at the University of British Columbia (UBC) joined in

2015, organizing events and displays celebrating the wonders of science. The first year saw a modest book display and a

few exhibits, but the event has grown to include a Wikipedia edit-a-thon, a Science Expo, a Living Library, and a coding

workshop. We’ll share how this was achieved through collaborations within the library, with campus groups, and beyond.

Digitalization of Thesis Collection (Poster)

One of the most important collections of the Biblioteca Regional en Ciencias del Mar (BRCM) is made up of its theses.

It consists of 1,243 volumes, donated by graduated students of the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología, UNAM, and

other institutions in Northwest Mexico. This collection has been developed since the creation of the BRCM in 1976, but

after 2000 its electronic catalogue has included full-text access. It has been made the searching of 126 theses in the

TESIUNAM database and only 5.4% were recovered in electronic format or a PDF file. A plan was undertaken to digitize

and make them accessible. The results from November 2016 to present are 127 theses already in electronic format.

User Acceptance of IAMSLIC Digital Fisheries Library

The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC) through the

Aquatic Commons Board approved the deployment of IAMSLIC Digital Fisheries Library in the Philippines during the 2015

Conference. The digital library utilized the LibraryBox, a portable, open source distribution tool. This standalone wireless

access is ideal for fisheries schools due to its location. With the aim to provide access to SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department

(AQD) publications in these schools, more than a thousand publications that were already made available in SEAFDEC AQD

institutional repository were also added in the box. SEAFDEC is the first institution in the country to launch the project in

July 2016 using this gadget. This study examined the factors that influence student’s acceptance and attitude towards the

IAMSLIC Digital Fisheries Library. A survey was conducted to selected fisheries and marine biology undergraduate students

in the Philippines.

Meeting Information Needs through Innovation: A Case Study of the Use of the International Aquatic Sciences and

Fisheries Abstracts Database

A significant hallmark of today’s society is the large quantity of scientific information about oceans available to researchers

and decision-makers in a wide diversity of formats. Although much information is easily accessible, sizeable volumes may

be unknown or limited in access despite benefiting stakeholder communities. The ASFA database is an access point for a

large amount of grey literature. Due to the rapidly changing information landscape, the future of ASFA in its present form

is being reconsidered. This paper will report on research, pursued in collaboration with FAO, to determine how ASFA is

currently accessed and used. The initial results from the research will be presented, along with preliminary discussion of

how the service might evolve in the changing information landscape.

Testing the Waters: Publishing Literacy as a New Role For Marine Science Librarians?

Libraries have a strong service culture. For decades information literacy is well established in our libraries and information

centers. The training on skills to search, evaluate and consume information is a substantial part of the libraries’ information

literacy program. At the same time library services for authors seem to be still in their infancy, at least at specialized

libraries beyond universities. There are a lot of varied possibilities to discover. Let us test the waters and explore how

librarians may contribute to the publishing process of authors at their institutions. Where are the potential docking points

for libraries during the writing and publishing process? Where are exciting opportunities to see? Which limitations have to

be considered?
