Using the Web as an E-Content Distribution Platform:
Challenges and Opportunities
Oct 21-22, 2014
Gregg Gordon, President and CEO, Social Science Research Network (SSRN)
Librarians face many choices when selecting ebook platforms for their collections. There are different types of platforms including those hosted by publishers, aggregators, distributors, and university press consortia. Platforms vary in terms of the types of content they provide, purchasing models, and features. As the ebook market continues to evolve, librarians must evaluate platforms based on their patrons' needs.
About the Webinar
The increased utilization of mobile devices for content consumption places demands on publishers to be more adept at engaging on mobile devices. As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content.
One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted.
Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to “pair” devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise.
In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with server side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users.

R. David Lankes, Dean’s Scholar for the New Librarianship at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies; Director of the Information Institute of Syracuse
The document discusses library trends and priorities based on a survey of library systems in Virginia. Finding people and biographies was the top area of interest among patrons. Other highly ranked areas included history studies, world cultures, and small business support. The document outlines several trends that will impact libraries, such as content fragmentation, elearning, and changing user demographics.
Discusses tools and tips for implementing innovative services with free social media tools and mobile apps applied in libraries and other working environments. Iincludes apps supporting the latest trends in cloud storage, crowdfunding, ebooks, makerspaces, MOOCs, news aggregation, photo and video sharing, self-publishing, social networking and bookmarking, video conferencing, visualization and wearable technology --all tailored to the needs of libraries and the communities they serve.
The document discusses the concept of Library 2.0 and how academic libraries can build themselves according to this model. It emphasizes knowing users, questioning practices, communicating transparently, using Web 2.0 tools, building participation, creating partnerships, developing a learning culture, being transparent, involving staff, and assessing needs to transform the library according to changing user needs in the digital age. The focus is on meeting users where they are and empowering participation over just providing information.
This paper reviews and analyzes the impact of Open Access (OA) publishing on medical research work. The aim is to establish, through literature review, how digital resources might provide an opportunity to house future medical scholarship outputs and the advantages or disadvantages versus traditional publishing.
E-Resources and Information Literacy: A Working Sessionsdarbandi
This document outlines the agenda for a working session on e-resources and information literacy. The session will introduce Credo Reference and Libraries Thriving services and have group discussions. It will also cover getting the most out of Credo Reference and new features. Three studies on information literacy challenges students face are summarized. The value of academic libraries is discussed based on an ACRL report. Suggestions are provided for the print to digital transition, curriculum alignment, faculty collaboration, technology trends, and assessment. Case studies model collaboration between libraries and other campus partners.
This document discusses rethinking the library services platform (LSP) model to improve interoperability between systems. It notes that while new LSPs have emerged, significant lack of interoperability remains between components of the library technology ecosystem. The author argues that libraries should adopt a platform approach like Windows or Apple, where vendors provide tools and services to allow third parties to build applications on their platforms. This could encourage more applications and make platforms more valuable. Prioritizing the library user perspective may change how libraries think about LSPs. Standards bodies are working on interoperability issues but more remains to be done to fully integrate solutions.
This document discusses the changing role of libraries and education in the 21st century due to new technologies and online resources. It notes that social media usage and uploading of content to sites like YouTube and Facebook have increased dramatically. It argues that new literacies are needed to navigate online resources and that education must focus on developing skills like critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and citizenship. The document envisions libraries playing a role in supporting learning across physical and digital spaces and helping students develop these key 21st century skills.
Bonnie Tijerina (@bonlth) presented a workshop at the INFO 2012 Conference in Tel Aviv, Israel. The workshop entitled, "E-Resource Management, Workflow, and Discovery in the Digital Age" presented a summary of eresources management work drawing from work presented at the 2012 Electronic Resources and Libraries Conference (@ERandL). More information about the conference can be found at www.electroniclibrarian.org
The Stanford Workshop focused on creating plans to expedite a shift in how knowledge and information resources are managed and discovered through linked data. The goal was to identify capabilities and design new tools, processes, and systems that move beyond current metadata practices to link related resources and provide improved navigation and discovery through open feedback. A number of organizations from around the world participated in the workshop to discuss these issues.
The document discusses value-added services and Library 2.0 in academic libraries. It argues that libraries must embrace new technologies like wikis, blogs, social media, tagging and mashups to remain relevant to users. Libraries need to shift to a more user-centered model, inviting participation and collaboration. This will allow libraries to better serve users and reach new audiences.
The document discusses the nature of creativity and how creative ideas emerge. It explores both small-scale "p-creativity" involving new ideas for an individual, as well as large-scale "h-creativity" that produces historically novel inventions. The text examines how people are influenced by existing concepts and categories when generating novel ideas. It also looks at social and environmental factors that can influence creativity, such as valuing it within a community, and how brainstorming groups do not necessarily lead to more creative outcomes than individuals working alone.
Robert Stadler created an art installation about creativity. The installation includes boxes representing how people feel confined by fear but can think outside the box through creativity, innovation, and questioning assumptions. Creativity is a process of discovery rather than invention that involves behaviors, habits, association, observation, experimentation and networking. Famous quotes emphasize that creativity is an unlimited resource and that being curious, open-minded, and willing to learn from failures are keys to creativity.

Famous quotes emphasize that creativity is an unlimited resource and that being curious, open-minded, and willing to learn from failures are keys to creativity.
The document provides an overview of idea generation and creative thinking. It discusses that 95% of creativity comes from perspiration rather than inspiration, and that while only 5% of adults consider themselves creative, 95% of children aged 5-10 exhibit strong creativity. It also lists several famous entrepreneurs and their ages when founding influential companies, generally in their early 20s or 30s. The document then provides strategies for idea generation, such as brainstorming, researching trends and influences, and maintaining an ideas notebook.
The document describes a model of creativity with six phases: inspiration, clarification, ideation, distillation, incubation, and implementation. It explains that creativity involves generating many ideas (inspiration), determining goals and objectives (clarification), focusing ideas (distillation), taking breaks to let the subconscious work (incubation), and determined, persistent work (implementation). Each phase is important for creative work, and people tend to have strengths and weaknesses in different phases.
Distillation is a process that separates mixtures into individual components based on differences in their boiling points. It works by heating the mixture to vaporize components with lower boiling points, which are then cooled and condensed.
The key principles are that vapor pressure increases with temperature, allowing the lower boiling components to vaporize first. According to Raoult's law, the vapor produced will be enriched in the more volatile components compared to the liquid mixture.
There are several types of distillation including simple, fractional, vacuum, and azeotropic distillation. Simple distillation is used when components have very different boiling points while fractional distillation with multiple stages is needed for similar boiling points. Vacuum distillation lowers the
This document summarizes various distillation techniques including differential distillation, flash vaporization, continuous rectification, and determining the ideal number of plates. It discusses mass balances, operating lines, reflux ratios, and how changing the number of plates and reflux ratio influences distillation column design and performance. Key aspects covered include equilibrium relationships, material flowing between plates, determining flow rates, and using diagrams to analyze fractionation.
Web 2.0 allows users to not only access information but also contribute and interact with others on the web. This has changed user behaviors and expectations, as they now want faster and more personalized access to both library and web resources through simple search interfaces. Libraries have adopted Web 2.0 technologies like social media, blogs, wikis, podcasts, and mashups to become more interactive and user-centric. This allows users to both consume and produce content, transforming libraries into places for two-way engagement and collaboration beyond physical walls.
Participatory Web Design Presentation Ala Virtualhammills
The document discusses a participatory design process used to redesign the library website at Florida International University. Library staff gathered feedback from users through surveys, focus groups, and usability studies to understand user needs and frustrations with the existing site. A redesigned site was developed based on user input and tested through additional usability studies. The new site was well received by users who commented that it improved navigation and access to library resources.
Ebooks: desafios, perturbações e inovaçõesREA Brasil
The document discusses challenges, disruptions and innovations related to ebooks. It covers several topics including price, digital inclusion, technological standards and interoperability, content, new opportunities for authorship and collaboration, and user behavior. Ebooks present opportunities for lowering costs and increasing access but also challenges related to establishing common standards and business models. Innovation in authorship, publishing and accessing content will be needed to fully realize the potential of ebooks.
This is the slide deck for the presentation that was given with Kate Lawrence (VP User Experience EBSCO), Courtney McDonald (Indiana University), and Esther Onega (University of Virginia) at the 2014 Charleston Conference on Thursday Nov 6, 2014.
The document summarizes an audit of the accessibility of ebooks on various platforms. A group of librarians and disability advocates crowdsourced data on the accessibility features of 44 ebook platforms from 65 publishers. They developed a standardized form to assess features like text display, navigation, text-to-speech and image descriptions. Over 280 ebooks were tested. The results provide a benchmark for accessibility and guidance to libraries and publishers on how to improve. The audit aims to help academics find the most accessible resources and encourage suppliers to strengthen weaknesses. It also raises awareness of ebook accessibility benefits among library and student support staff.
This document discusses effective strategies for marketing electronic resources (e-resources) in libraries. It recommends that libraries provide training to users on how to search and access e-resources as training is one of the most valuable promotional tools. Other suggested marketing tools include brochures, sharing links and passwords, branding materials like pens and t-shirts, and using social media. The document also covers selecting and evaluating e-resources, technical requirements, and challenges associated with marketing e-resources.
Meeting User Needs & Expectations: A Library’s Quest for DiscoveryCharleston Conference
The document summarizes findings from surveys conducted by Taylor & Francis to understand how libraries are adapting to changing user needs and expectations. Key findings include that 68% of libraries have or plan to change their user interfaces based on user research. Libraries are also increasing their use of social media, especially Facebook and Twitter, to promote resources. Publishers can help with discovery by making paid content more discoverable on library websites and enhancing search capabilities.
This document discusses strategies for marketing electronic resources in libraries. It begins by noting the shift from print to electronic formats and the need for new marketing techniques. It then covers the marketing mix of product, place, pricing and promotion for libraries. Specific marketing tools described include training, open days, guides, newsletters, social media and alerts. Selection criteria for electronic resources include contribution to the library mission, demand, authenticity, cost and technical requirements. Challenges in marketing electronic resources and recommendations are also provided. The document emphasizes that marketing should be an essential, ongoing component of library services rather than an optional add-on.

Making Open the Default in Scholarly Communication, and the Implications for ...SPARC Europe
This document summarizes a presentation about making open access the default in scholarly communication and implications for libraries. The key points are:
1) Open access promises to remove barriers to access, reduce costs, and increase research impact, but is not yet the norm due to obstacles like assessment systems rewarding prestige publications and a culture that does not incentivize open practices.
2) Libraries can help by advocating for policy changes, educating researchers, and reallocating resources from licensing to supporting open infrastructure and services.
3) Significant changes are needed as the system transitions to open access as the default, including collaboration between libraries and reallocation of resources, in order to ensure libraries remain relevant in the future scholarly ecosystem
VIVO is an open-source semantic web application and information model that enables discovery of research across disciplines at institutions. It harvests data from verified sources to create detailed profiles of faculty and researchers. The structured linked data in VIVO allows for relationships and connections between researchers, publications, grants, and more to be visualized. Libraries can play important roles in implementing and supporting VIVO through activities like outreach, training, ontology development, and technical support.

The document discusses open business models and trends disrupting traditional content industries like music, video, books, and textbooks. It describes how physical distribution of digitizable content is under threat. Initiatives for open textbooks and learning materials from projects like CK-12, Curriki, and Bloomsbury Academic are summarized. The Flatworld Knowledge business model for open textbooks that generates revenue from optional access to print/digital copies and study aids is presented as a case study. The document concludes new business models must absorb disruptive trends but are still untested, and experimenting with open content aggregation could benefit existing models.
What does success look like when it comes to library discoverability? Index based discovery systems have seen a dramatic rate of adoption since introduction to the research ecosystem in 2009, with more than 9,000 libraries relying on a discovery system to provide users with a comprehensive index to their offerings. Some issues bar the way to providing this comprehensive view, but many challenges have been overcome through collaboration between libraries, content providers and discovery partners. The NISO ODI initiative began to examine these issues in 2011, and released a best practice in June 2014.
Speakers will highlight examples of successful collaboration, note continued areas of challenge, and provide insight on how the Open Discovery Initiative Conformance Checklists can be used as a mechanism to evaluate content provider or discovery provider conformance with the best practice.
The document discusses the Future of Research Communications and E-Scholarship (FORCE11), a grassroots organization aimed at accelerating scholarly communications through technology, education, and community. FORCE11 was founded in 2011 in Germany and aims to modernize scholarly publishing using new forms of publication, markup, and reward systems. It acts as a platform bringing together diverse stakeholders to discuss issues and work on shared goals like data citation principles. The organization sees a future where knowledge is openly networked and scholarly objects are more diverse and linked.

The document discusses diversity and inclusion in mentorship at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It describes the ASCE Diversity & Inclusion Council established in 2014 with a mission to foster understanding and cultivate an inclusive workforce. The council has 13 members from different departments, designations, races, ethnicities, and genders. It also works with a separate committee for ASCE's over 150,000 members from 177 countries. Activities to promote diversity include highlighting heritage months, lunch-and-learn sessions on topics like disability etiquette and working styles, and inviting outside speakers on bias. Mentorship can be formal or informal and aims to bridge gaps in skills, self-awareness, and confidence through
The Mentorship Program at T&F was created in 2010 based on employee feedback requesting guidance and support from experienced employees. The program is informal with 1:1 mentoring relationships lasting 6-12 months between employees in different divisions. Over 70 matches have been made in 5 years with only 2 not working out. Benefits include 20% of participants being promoted, 10% transferring, and under 5% turnover. The program increased employee engagement and led to improved productivity and cost savings.
This document discusses mentoring at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It provides details about the pilot mentoring program launched in 2014 and the full program launched in 2015. Key points include pairing mentees and mentors, providing training and guidelines, and collecting feedback. The program aimed to facilitate a culture shift at ASCE to emphasize core values like trust, teamwork and excellence. Lessons learned include ensuring mentors and mentees are a good match and maintaining expectations. The author provides their own experience being paired as a mentor and mentee.
The document discusses advice and mentorship. It presents a series of fictional scenarios where a person seeks advice at different career stages and receives both helpful and unhelpful advice. It then provides recommendations for finding mentors and making the most of advice received, such as looking across different fields, mentoring others, and remembering that not all advice should be followed. The overall message is that while advice can be good or bad, it is still useful to consider different perspectives to help advance one's career.
October Ivins has worked in various library and information science roles since 1985, including positions at UNC Chapel Hill Library, LSU Baton Rouge Library, and UT Austin. She has been involved with professional organizations like ALA, NASIG, and SSP since 1981. As an independent consultant since 2001, Ivins mentors others on career development topics such as getting the most out of conferences, choosing positions, supervisor and coworker issues, and professional associations. Her document provides advice on training opportunities, managing staff, getting referrals, and preparing for phone interviews.
Early in one's career, a formal mentor is not necessary as support can be found from observing mid-to-late career colleagues. Peer mentoring through collaboration with other managers, especially other women managers, can also be effective. As careers advance, having a women mentor becomes important as women face unique challenges in the workplace and mentors help other women navigate their careers. Without any mentor, one risks lacking career advice, feeling stagnant in their career progression, and experiencing periods of career confusion with no expert to provide guidance.
Adrian Stanley discussed his experience mentoring fellows through the SSP program. He explained that mentoring involves softer guidance to help mentees develop over the long term through balanced listening, directing, and connecting. Fellows benefit from the experience and connections of mentors, who can help open doors, share new perspectives, and make introductions to expand networks and opportunities in the industry. Feedback from fellows showed mentoring helped them learn from experience, feel more included and secure asking questions, and broaden their industry perspectives.
The document discusses two kinds of mentorship at the nonprofit organization BioOne. It provides an overview of BioOne's mission to make scientific research more accessible and its founding by both library and publisher interests. It then defines a "culture of mentorship" as a work environment where employees feel comfortable getting advice from supervisors and colleagues, who see them as whole people rather than just skills. The second kind of mentorship is described as a more traditional unofficial mentor who provides professional guidance. It concludes by listing the executive staff of BioOne and contact information for the speaker.
This document provides a summary of October Ivins' career experience and areas of expertise. It lists her educational background, including degrees from UNC Chapel Hill Library in 1974-1985, UNC Chapel Hill SILS in 1985-1987, and LSU Baton Rouge Library in 1987-1995. It also outlines her work experience at UT Austin SILS from 1995-1998, Publist.com from 1998-2000, Booktech.com from 2000-2001, and as an independent consultant from 2001-present. The document then discusses how her definition of an information professional has loosened over time to include various managerial roles. It concludes by listing topics she provides career coaching and mentoring on, such as choosing jobs
Mohammad H Asadi Lari presented on creating an office culture of mentorship from the perspective of an early career student and mentee. He discussed his experiences being mentored through the SSP Fellowship program and beyond. Emerging trends in early career mentorship include more organizations introducing formal mentorship opportunities and an increase in both professional and peer mentoring models. Mentorship provides visible benefits like networking and career development, as well as hidden benefits beyond initial programs.
This document discusses opportunities for Western academic publishers in China. It notes that China is a rapidly growing market with increasing research output and funding. However, it is also highly competitive. The document outlines several strategies publishers can consider to engage with the Chinese market, including developing local language materials, using social media platforms allowed in China, attending Chinese conferences, exploring co-publishing opportunities with Chinese partners, and developing a long-term strategic plan focused on impact and relationships within China. It also discusses China's increasing open access policies and investments in research universities that could affect publishing opportunities.
This document discusses JSTOR's growing participation in Turkey from 1999-2014. It shows that participation grew slowly at first but increased significantly after the Turkish government began funding access to JSTOR collections through the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium in 2005. Participation and number of collections licensed continued to grow steadily through partnerships with the consortium and engaging a licensing agent in 2013. While agents can help with local representation, awareness, and relationships, they also present challenges of managing expectations, competing demands, and individuals not reporting to JSTOR.

5. Use of Electronic Resources
• Two-year study of use of print journals versus
electronic
• Mellon Foundation/University of California study
• Reported in The Charleston Report, March/April
2003
6. Study Findings ….
• For the 8% of titles in Arts • For the 37% of titles in
and Humanities use of the Physical Sciences and
digital version was 10X Engineering use of the
greater than print digital version was 24X
greater than print
• For the 9% of titles in • For the 46% of titles in
Social Sciences use of the Life and Health Sciences
digital version was 10X use of digital version was
greater than print 9.4X greater than print
7. Value-added Features Users Want*
• E-Communities, portals, and institutional
repositories
• Open access
• Making content compatible with PDAs, wireless
devices, eBooks, print-on-demand, etc.
• “Just be on the Web”
*as reported in The Charleston Report (March/April 2003)
8. Publishers can add value to their online
content = more revenue for them
• Move to value-based pricing
• Charging only for consumption, not entire bundles
• Pushing information to users
• Teaming up to syndicate content
• Selling searches of their archives through third-
parties
*above points from the 2003 ASIDIC Meeting as reported in Information Today, May 2003
9. Who’s looking for value-added and what
matters to who?
• Users: think the content is “free” and want easy
access and say – “just give it to me!”
• Libraries: concerned about cost and ease of access
and say– “you’ve got to be kidding!”
• Publishers: care about bottom line (yes, even the
non-profits!) and say - “how am I going to recoup
my investment?”
10. “Bells and Whistles” or
what’s really needed once you’ve got:
• Searching
• Reference linking
• E-alerts
• Related articles
…perhaps users are satisfied with these basics?
11. Then again, not all users are the same….
• Society members do want “value-added” features from
their professional organization, i.e., membership
directories, e-communities, conferences, and CPD courses
• Researchers with their “free” institutional access want the
content everywhere so they can be sure they can get to it,
i.e., journal aggregations, content databases, subscription
agent gateways, and A & I gateways
12. And what about publishers….what’s really
value-added for them?
• Slice and dice content to create new products –
and revenue streams
• Integrate print and online production streams
• Integrate online peer review and production work-
flow systems with the hosting of their content
13. And what about publishers – continued….
• Offer “customizable” online products and services for
discrete user groups worldwide
• Digitize backfiles and sell them as a specially priced
package; as a premium to new subs; or, with a price rise,
include in renewals
• Offer new delivery formats, i.e., SVG or Scaleable Vector
Graphic, an open-standard XML application that may
allow for more diverse repurposing and sophisticated user
interfaces
14. The ultimate question for publishers –
whether for profit or not!
Will the value you add to your content –
editorially and online – be worth the price you
charge in the eyes of your customers?
15. The Challenge of Open Access and Public
Domain Initiatives
• Should publicly funded research results be
disseminated free of charge?
• Who should pay for information dissemination:
the research funding body, the scientist/author,
libraries, or the reader?
• Who needs publishers anyway, since anyone can
publish on the Web?
16. The Challenge - continued….
• How can developing nations gain affordable
access to the literature of the rich “North”
(developed countries) and get recognition for their
own research programs?
• How can anyone trust published material without
peer review?*
*above points from Jim Ashling, “Open Access and the Public Domain”, Information Today,
May 2003
17. So, if the move accelerates to “more for
free”online scholarly content and a lesser
role for traditional scholarly publishers,
then what is regarded as value-added and by
who will become even more critical
so
“Get It Right!”
