TL;DR: Investigation of a "Library on Location" service found it to be an easy and effective way to provide outreach services and publicity about the Library beyond the library walls.
Abstract: The community served by a library is often unaware of the range of resources and services its library provides. To address these issues, University of Canterbury librarians investigated a "Library on Location" service. After reviewing similar services elsewhere, the librarians conducted two termlong trials taking a wireless-enabled laptop and a selection of borrowable items out of the library to high-traffic student areas. Different configurations of equipment, location and time of day were tested to evaluate usage of the service in this environment. Library on Location proved to be an easy and effective way to provide outreach services and publicity about the Library beyond the library walls.

TL;DR: As the authors move toward implementing RDA: Resource Description and Access, I have been pondering how they might manage the transition to new cataloging rules effectively and found a pertinent presentation by Arlene G. Taylor, which she graciously agreed to repurpose as this guest editorial.
Abstract: As we move toward implementing RDA: Resource Description and Access , I have been pondering how we might manage the transition to new cataloging rules effectively. I was a practicing cataloger when Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules , 2nd ed., was implemented and remember it as a traumatic process. The published literature that I found focused on the impact of the then-new rules on specific formats and genres, but no one seems to have addressed the process of implementation and what type of training worked well (or did not). After a bit of sleuthing, I found a pertinent presentation by Arlene G. Taylor, which she graciously agreed to repurpose as this guest editorial.
