    Asking for what you need: Why negotiation feels uncomfortable for library professionals
    (2024-02-05) Macy, Katharine V.
    This video covers the complex reasons why we as librarians may feel anxious over negotiating. It is the first video in the Introduction to Negotiations Lesson in the Foundations module of the curriculum developed as part of the ONEAL project (Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries). Note that this video focuses on existing research and specifically mentions the differences between men and women, as well as race and how existing attitudes is influences library work and negotiations. The current research is focused on cisgender experiences. This is a significant gap in scholarly literature. The ONEAL project desires to be inclusive of nonbinary and transgender experiences. If you would be willing to share your experience as a nonbinary or transgender person who negotiates in libraries through a research interview which would be anonymized, please reach out to: https://oneal-project.org/contact/

    Assessment in Space Designed for Experimentation: The University of Washington Libraries Research Commons
    (2014-08) Ray, Lauren; Macy, Katharine V.
    Since opening in 2010, the University of Washington Libraries Research Commons has used a number of quantitative and qualitative assessment methods to evaluate its space, services and programs. Because it was designed for constant experimentation and change, Research Commons assessment has been driven by the desire to stay true to user needs, make the case for growth, and test new models of space design, programming, and services. This paper will describe assessment activities and projects kept in spirit with the experimental, agile nature of the space, and how the focus shifted from space assessment to programmatic assessment. In order to respond to changing user needs and push for innovation, the Research Commons has evolved to examine space, services, and programs in an integrated holistic manner. This has allowed the staff to not only understand what users do within the space and their preferences, but also how effective are programming and services offered at meeting those user needs.

    Chapter 27: Thinking Outside the "Box": Conducting Supply Chain Procurement Research
    (2022) Macy, Katharine V.
    Students studying supply chain management and procurement need to understand how to research beyond finding the price of the product offered by suppliers on a websites like Alibaba (https://www.alibaba.com) and McRae’s Bluebook (https://www.macraesbluebook.com) so that they can negotiate the best value, determine quality product, and identify issues in supplier industries that may affect their future employer’s ability to distribute products. This research includes understanding product design, characteristics, and specifications including materials, commodity research on key materials used in manufacturing including historical pricing and demand, and market research and news about individual suppliers and the suppliers’ industry. Sources these students need to learn to use include trade associations, trade journals, market research, commodity exchanges, and government economic data. This business information literacy session is designed to make teaching supply chain research approachable both for librarians new to teaching this aspect of business information literacy, as well as students as they learn to apply their business research skills to a scenario they really could face upon graduation.
