An Examination of comparable worth
(Nebraska Library Association--College and University Section, 1985-04-26) Hixson, Carol G.; Ellis, Jill
The concept of comparable worth is attracting more attention around the country as diverse groups bring pressure for an evaluation of the methods by which an employer or society as a whole determines the value of a particular job. Because comparable worth addresses the inverse relationship between the percentage of women in an occupation and the compensation of the workers, and because the overwhelming majority of librarians are women, librarians have often been in the forefront of efforts to implement comparable worth studies. With the introduction and subsequent defeat in committee of LB206, a bill which would have instituted a pay equity study of state jobs, comparable worth is an issue of immediate concern to Nebraskans and especially to the Nebraska Library Association. The authors explore the concept of pay equity/comparable worth by examining several cases involving librarians and others and by analysing the arguments on both sides of the issue.

Content In, Content Out: The Dual Roles of the Reference Librarian in Institutional Repositories
(2005) Hixson, Carol G.; Jenkins, Barbara; Breakstone, Elizabeth
The development of institutional repositories has typically involved administrative and technical staff from libraries and campuses, with little input from reference librarians and subject specialists. Reference librarians have vital roles to play in helping to recruit authors to submit their content to institutional repositories, as well as in educating users to search such repositories effectively and retrieve the scholarly content from them. The experience that reference librarians have in searching a wide array of databases also enables them to provide a useful perspective on the design of effective search interfaces for institutional repositories. Experience at the University of Oregon demonstrates the efficacy of involving reference librarians in the design and development of an institutional repository from the beginning.

Transforming Catalogers (and Others) into Digital Library Specialists: The Evolution of the University of Oregon's Metadata and Digital Library Services
(University of Oregon Libraries, 2005-05-18) Hixson, Carol G.
How does life change when your traditional cataloging department assumes responsibility for creating and maintaining digital library collections? What about: * preservation and public presentation * running the campus institutional repository, including marketing and setting policies, software admin (DSpace) and upgrades, public pages * digital and photographic reproductions of library materials * exhibit services (assist faculty with projects, presentations, posters,etc.) * microfilming (newspapers, theses, on demand reproductions) * preservation and conservation of print materials * traditional photography and darkroom work for library and campus publicity and publications.

If We Build It, Will They Come (Eventually)? : Scholarly Communication and Institutional Repositories
(University of Oregon Libraries, 2005-05-20) Hixson, Carol G.
Specialists in serials have been dealing with the effects of an imbalance in the scholarly communication process for some time. The increase in scholarly output coupled with the decreasing ability of libraries to provide access to that output due to spiralling journal costs has created tensions for libraries and their communities. By advocating and providing a means to provide open access to scholarly output, institutional repositories have been promoted as one strategy for redefining the scholarly communication model. The University of Oregon libraries have been exploring this approach since April 2003. The presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities that such repositories face at the University of Oregon and around the world and examine the efficacy of such repositories for changing the nature of scholarly communication.
