The Kresge Business Administration Library (Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan) has created a unique approach to the embedded librarian model by having librarians work directly with in-residence student teams charged with solving ‘real world’ problems through Michigan’s signature action-based learning program, MAP (Multidisciplinary Action Program). With MAP, corporate and nonprofit organizations work with teams of 4-6 students charged with solving a problem or providing recommendations on very specific aspects of the sponsor’s work. This paper will describe the Kresge Library’s support of MAP and other action-based learning programs at the Ross School of Business. Topics will include how we work and communicate with MAP teams, examples of research and reference requests from the students, an assessment of our services, and how this changes the librarian relationships with students in their second year of study. This unique program offers exciting challenge to Kresge librarians, building bridges between the Kresge Library and the students and faculty participating in MAP, as well as between the overwhelming amount of business data, statistics and research available and the world of business practice. <br/> <br/>Description: A contributed paper for the Special Libraries Association meeting in Seattle, June 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/58344 Title: Academic Advisory Board Report - Corey Seeman (Kresge Library) <br/> <br/>Authors: Seeman, Corey <br/> <br/>Abstract: Corey Seeman's report to the ProQuest Academic Advisory Board. This “Board Report-Out” section allows us to share thoughts on the following topics: Major trends/changes you are seeing at your institution or in academia; Your thoughts/predictions on the future of aggregation and A&I; and Anything else you think we should consider. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/58210 Title: Funds (Huh!): What are they good for! <br/> <br/>Authors: Seeman, Corey <br/> <br/>Abstract: Funds are the building blocks of Acquisitions - allowing us to pay for orders and report expenditures. But for many sites, the fund structure lacks the ability to truly capture the information that the library wants and needs. We will explore the role that funds play in Millennium and look at: changing funds, statistical and financial reporting; and matching the funds with the fiscal close method used at your institution. The learning objective is to be able to evaluate your fund structure and use to determine if your existing structure still meets your needs.

But it can do more than just count up records. In this presentation, we will look at Milstats beyond the basics and focus on some of the advanced functions that libraries can undertake, including: scheduling reports, working with periodic reports, running collection development queries, projecting budget increases, and fun with SCAT tables. This session will serve as a complement to "Milstats 101" and showcase some more powerful tools available to users.
