Abstract
Approximately 200 books from computer sciences and social sciences were included from the Sciences Library, the Wells Library, and the ALF. The majority of books were published over the past 5 years. Unlike most Informatics pop-up libraries, this pop-up included roughly half of its content from call number ranges outside computer science and coding texts. It also was approximately double in size than most pop-ups. An IUCAT search was conducted that narrowed the date range to 2018-2022, and included books with keywords “computing”, “analytics”, “big data”, and “intelligen*”. There were some small exceptions where older titles were included, e.g. python books from the past decade, and operations research titles from authors such as Stafford Beer. In addition, some new book titles entirely outside of computing, but related to science in general were also displayed.
The following were titles checked out at the pop-out, largely by masters students in the School of Informatics, but included some undergraduates and a small number of faculty. While this is not representative of all new science titles collected on the Bloomington campus in the past five years, it is a good sample of what has been collected in "print”, as opposed to e-books. The results of this pop-up library can help us understand the types of books we may want to purchase in the future in both print and e-formats.
