TRANSCRIPT
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?
