During a recent BookExpo meeting, a publishing company executive asserted, "Any company that isn't behaving like a start-up is doomed." What does this mean in the context of service organizations such as libraries, as well as businesses that serve the library industry such as publishers and vendors? How can large institutions be more nimble, act more quickly, adopt new tech more easily? What can be learned from startups and what can be avoided?
NISO Two Day Virtual Conference:
Using the Web as an E-Content Distribution Platform:
Challenges and Opportunities
Oct 21-22, 2014

President/CEO, Co-Founder
About the Webinar
The "single search box" approach of web search engines like Google and Bing have forced libraries and system developers to rethink their whole approach to end-user searching for library and publisher resources and electronic content. Discovery systems are continuing to evolve from simple keyword search systems, to more elaborate indexed discovery, to new forms of usage-based discovery and beyond. Because discovery of content is such a critical component of library services, understanding in what potential ways these systems will develop is critical for library staff, either when selecting a system, or seeking ways to improve its service. NISO launched a research study in early 2014 on the status of discovery systems, their potential future development directions, and the systems interoperability needs of these services.
This webinar will cover some of the latest developments of library discovery systems as well as discuss the findings of the NISO research study, and the implications of those results.

This presentation discusses ushering in an era of born accessible publications through the EPUB Accessibility Specification 1.0. It explains that the spec will empower publishers by setting a minimum baseline for accessibility compliance. Meeting this baseline can be certified, helping education by ensuring born accessible materials. The presentation provides examples of accessibility features publications must include, like adding text alternatives to images. It also discusses efforts to accelerate publisher adoption through certification and the development of accessibility checking software.
The document summarizes the Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) which aims to promote transparency in library discovery services. It discusses the formation of the ODI based on recognition of trends in the emergence and adoption of discovery services. The ODI developed a recommended practice and vocabulary and formed a standing committee to promote the practice, provide support for adoption, and address emerging issues. The standing committee is currently focusing on education, conformance, and technical initiatives to further the goals of the ODI.
The document summarizes key findings from a 2016 survey conducted by the DAISY Consortium on the transition to EPUB 3. The top reasons delaying the migration to EPUB 3 according to the survey were the lack of accessible reading systems and lack of production tools. The survey also found that 38% of content produced was leisure reading and 36% was educational. It provides recommendations on accessible EPUB 3 readers and tools that support MathML for displaying mathematical expressions accessibly across different formats and platforms.

A Presentation made to Liber Europe's 'The Use and Generation of Scientific Content – Roles for Libraries' in Budapest, Hungary Sept 12th, 2016 by Lars Bjørnshauge.
In this presentation, Lars calls into question the use and success of Green Open Access, reminds us of the key role of librarians in the success of open access and calls on governments to support Gold Open Access.
Provides some ideas on how you can get more involved in the open source community. Contains information on contributing to and managing open source projects.
Wikis are collaborative websites that allow all users to easily add and edit content. They provide version control so edits can be tracked and previous versions accessed. Wikis lower barriers to authoring and updating documentation, making collaboration fast and easy. They are well-suited for technical documentation in higher education IT where systems are complex, documentation is challenging, and institutional knowledge must be shared. MediaWiki is an open-source wiki platform commonly used for technical documentation projects.
Two years ago at Devoxx UK we talked about DevOps, what it was, why it was important and how to get started. Boy, was it scary. Now we’re wiser. More battle-scarred. The large scale of the challenge for application writers exploiting cloud and DevOps is clearer, but so is the path forward. Understanding the DevOps approach is important, but equally you must understand specific deployment technologies, security issues, operational reliability, and how to drive organisational transformation. Whether creating simple applications or sophisticated microservice architectures many of the challenges are the same. Join us to learn how you can apply this within your team and company.

This document summarizes a presentation about developing a solution to systematically identify open access articles published in hybrid journals. The presentation proposes adding Creative Commons license and copyright metadata to journal RSS feeds so discovery services can automatically identify open access articles. A prototype was developed with participating publishers, allowing JournalTOCs to begin systematically identifying open access articles from hybrid journals of those publishers. The presentation concludes that this helps make open access articles less hidden and improves their discoverability and usage.

The powers of consortia: scaling capacity, learning, innovation and influencelisld
Libraries and related organizations group together in a variety of ways to get their work done. They consort, for example, to lobby, to negotiate and license, and to build shared infrastructure.
However, there are other aspects of collective activity that are becoming more important. In fact, I suggest that two are increasingly central to successful library activity: these are learning and innovation.
Thinking this way about consortial activity suggests four areas where libraries come together to create scale advantages: capacity, learning, innovation, influence.
Some consortial organizations span several of these, some are more specialised.
This presentation will consider consortia under these headings. It will also briefly discuss how choices about scope, scale and sourcing are important decision points for consortia when considering their mission and investments.

The CEO of Microsoft stated that every business will become a software business. Pacific Magazines lost its technology edge by solely focusing on print with no digital strategy for over a decade. To regain its "tech mojo", Pacific Magazines focused on transforming its products, processes, people, and technology. This included establishing agile processes, onboarding new digital talent, empowering cross-functional teams, and building scalable platforms to enable rapid innovation and frequent delivery of new digital experiences. As a result, Pacific Magazines released engaging digital products, established clear roadmaps, created a high performing team, and built a quality technology foundation to ensure its long term survival in a fast changing market.
We focused on four key areas - Product, Process, People, and Technology - to find our lost mojo and transform our digital capabilities. For Product, we defined a mobile-first, video, data-driven, audio, and AI-focused strategy. For Process, we established an Agile product lifecycle and roadmapping process. For People, we attracted new talent and created high-performing delivery squads. For Technology, we introduced a flexible infrastructure to rapidly develop and deliver products. As a result, we released engaging digital products, established clear roadmaps, created a high-performing team, and built a scalable platform.

Leveraging Exhibitions as a Needs-Based Skill Development Program in Librarie...Sara Sterkenburg
This presentation was delivered on June 24, 2015 at the 2015 Rare Book and Manuscript Pre-conference in Oakland, CA.
Summary:
In 2014, Vanderbilt’s exhibition team discussed changing its curatorial model to be less aligned with the museum model, and more oriented toward the 21st century technologies demanded widely by our users. We designed the current season around this idea, leveraging ourselves as a skill-development program. We focused on teaching XML markup, version control using Github, copyright, open access, and descriptive metadata.
Challenging budgets push many institutions to rely on webinars to teach new concepts, often with minimal results. The big learning curve of some technologies calls for hands-on learning in a project environment. This can be jump-started by exhibition programs in special collections libraries, often with few people and at minimal cost. I will discuss our process, including workflow, training, roadblocks/troubleshooting, and takeaways.

The research library: scalable efficiency and scalable learninglisld
As research libraries are being reconfigured in a network environment, two important trends are emerging. The first is to accelerate the sharing of infrastructure, either through collaborative services or with third party providers. The second is to engage more deeply with the research and learning processes of their campuses. As research and learning processes themselves change, the research library has to respond and this makes being responsive and open to learning very important.

19. R&D @ UC Santa Barbara
We really don’t know anything about
graduate students
• Libraries are for undergrads, didn‟t want be there
• 90% used Google Scholar and couldn‟t name
core databases (but knew the core journals)
• Half didn‟t view database access as a library
service, thought it was provided by
dept/campus/free
• Kindles in labs: wanted non-scholarly content
• Website that gathers all grad related support
materials together
• Classes, videos, or handouts on getting
published, giving conference talks, & applying for
grants
• Need help getting organized and time

32. Startup behavior at
Stanford‟s HighWire
Can an 18-year-old still act like a startup?
(and get away with it?)
Presenter: John Sack, Founding
Director
Date: January 9, 2013
34. Why “behave like a startup”?
• Speed
• Innovation
• 20 hour days
• Lots of pizza
• Sleep at work
• Don‟t get paid for months…
HighWire | Stanford University 34
35. University-based “Startups”
• HighWire is a department inside
the Stanford University Libraries
• University infrastructure, or bureaucracy?
– HR policy changes
– Facility policy changes

49. Some Examples from Stanford‟s HighWire
• Shift from traditional platform to
“HighWire Open Platform” to enable others
– Drupal-enabled front-end
– Mini-sites
– Mobile-web sites
– APIs
– Co-development with publishers
• Feedback from end-users
– Suggestion forms
– Detailed interviews
• Network/community effects
– „Toll-free‟ inter-journal links
– Free back issues
– Alerting
– Publishers‟ community
• Discovery
– Google, Google Scholar
– Microdata, Linked Open Data
HighWire | Stanford University 49
50. Drupal-enabled Front-End
Rethink the front-end (user interface) to
improve cost, resource availability, time to
market, flexibility
• Take advantage of layered Highwire Open
Platform
• Open source tools
• Many „modules‟ (extensions)
• Widely-adopted
• Significant third-party support
• Example: boneandjoint.org.uk
HighWire | Stanford University 50
51. Mini-sites
Enable short-cycle, low-cost
experimentation to test product ideas with
users
• Drupal-based templates
• A couple of days to build a site
• Use monitoring tools to observe usage
• Example: sustainability.pnas.org
HighWire | Stanford University 51
52. Mobile-web sites
Deliver mobile-optimized versions of every
HighWire journal site; time to market was
critical priority
• Drupal-based
• Start with a clean slate and build up, rather
than prune down the general website
• Keep it simple, templated
• 1200 sites delivered in 15 months
HighWire | Stanford University 52
53. APIs
Give other developers access to content to
build products/services, bypassing the front-
end user-interface
• APIs for metadata, content, search,
authentication/authorization
• Eventually support text/data mining using
industry standards in development
HighWire | Stanford University 53
54. Co-development with Publishers
• Divide up the work so publisher and
HighWire can do implementation work on
a project in parallel
• Drupal-based, so developers need to
know Drupal, not HighWire
• HighWire Integration Module extends
Drupal
• Agile project techniques
• Example: www.bmj.com
HighWire | Stanford University 54
55. Feedback from End-Users
Detailed interviews, ethnographic-style, to
keep us aware of user tasks, workflows
• 45 interviews with researchers in 2011/12
• Feeds back into product development
• To be published in Learned Publishing
• Interviewing clinicians/practitioners
2012/13
• Students and teachers should follow
HighWire | Stanford University 55
56. Network/community Effects
• Figure out where an electronic resource
and workflow can be different…
…and better
• Inter-journal links
• „Toll-free‟ inter-journal links
• Free back issues
HighWire | Stanford University 56
57. Discovery
Recognize the tools people actually use,
and improve content visibility (ranking),
accuracy (correctness, completeness) and
currency (up-to-date-ness) in those tools
• Google & Google Scholar
• Make it better, not perfect
HighWire | Stanford University 57
