The document discusses the Library of Congress's 2010 announcement that it would archive the complete Twitter corpus from the company's founding. It raises privacy concerns about archiving billions of public tweets without users' consent. Through a textual analysis of press releases and articles, it finds privacy was often dismissed in discussions of the archive's potential research and historic value. However, the archive may conflict with archiving and library ethics of protecting individuals' privacy and raising questions about how privacy is defined in the digital age. It concludes more consideration of privacy is needed when making decisions that could expose people's words to future access.

The document defines plagiarism as presenting the words, ideas, or creative works of others as one's own. It cites a study that found over half of students admit to some level of plagiarism on written assignments using the internet. The document discusses intentional versus unintentional plagiarism and provides examples of each. It notes the consequences of plagiarism can include failing grades, suspension, or expulsion. The document provides guidance on properly citing sources to avoid plagiarism.
This document discusses ethical decision making and resolving ethical dilemmas. It begins by defining ethical behavior and identifying common myths about business ethics. An ethical dilemma is described as a complex situation with no clear right or wrong answer that involves balancing different interests. The document then outlines several approaches for resolving dilemmas, including using utilitarian, rule-based, and care-based thinking. It also discusses the whistleblowing process and provides a 10-step framework for ethical decision making. Finally, the document analyzes different tests that can be applied to potential decisions, such as considering benefits and costs, and whether the action could withstand public scrutiny.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that regular exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, improve mood, and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.
The academic publishing industry generates about €28 billion annually in global revenues, exceeding that of the recorded music industry. Profit margins for academic publishers like Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis are much larger than companies like Apple, Google, and BMW. Open access publishing aims to make taxpayer-funded research publicly available, but different models like gold, green, and diamond open access have different costs and restrictions. The Open Journal of Astrophysics (OJAp) is an example of a diamond open access overlay journal that publishes on the arXiv for free with low annual costs. It has published over 100 papers with an average of 16 citations per paper and a 50% acceptance rate. OJAp plans to apply for inclusion
The document summarizes the Google Book Settlement and provides an overview of key issues surrounding it. It begins with a brief history and chronology of events, then discusses reactions to the settlement. Major issues covered include copyright and antitrust challenges, intellectual freedom concerns, privacy issues regarding user data collection, and pricing concerns around the proposed Institutional Subscription Database. The document analyzes these issues from multiple perspectives and cites comments from various organizations that supported or objected to elements of the settlement.
Dorothea Salo gave a presentation on various "open" movements and how they relate to libraries. She discussed open source software, open standards, open access, open data, and open notebook science. For each topic, she explained what is being opened, how it is opened through things like licensing and standards, and why libraries should care about supporting these movements. The overall goals were to disambiguate jargon, explain her role in promoting open access, and suggest opportunities for libraries to participate in and support open initiatives.

Dynamics of Talk pages: Serving the article, showing the community - Wikimani...jodischneider
Talk pages are supposed to provide a space for improving the article. Are they as useful as they could be? I'll briefly describe some ways Talk pages go wrong, then share some prototype systems.

Presentation for 2013 Research Resources Forum at Northwestern University Library. Welcoming event for incoming PhD students in humanities and social sciences.
Open access is being driven by several factors:
1) Funders and government agencies are increasingly requiring or encouraging open access to the research they fund.
2) Some publishers are embracing open access publishing models that make literature freely available online without subscription fees.
3) Advocates like librarians, faculty members, and funders are pushing for more self-archiving of articles in open access repositories and changes to copyright policies.
RDA and FRBR aim to modernize cataloging practices by moving away from MARC and AACR2 towards a more flexible model based on user tasks. RDA splits the general material designation field into separate fields for content, media, and carrier types. It also requires transcribing entire statements of responsibility and added entries for all contributors. While intended to simplify practices, RDA's development faced political challenges. Its impact remains uncertain as catalogers and systems adapt to the new model.
Claire, a librarian, provides an overview of copyright concepts for researchers. She discusses what qualifies for copyright protection, the exclusive rights granted to copyright holders, and limitations and exceptions like fair use. She also reviews author agreements and publishing options, noting that authors often transfer all rights to publishers but can use addendums to negotiate more rights. Finally, she advises researchers to document permissions, manage their data and digital works carefully, and contact her for any copyright questions.
This document discusses the importance of sustainable and reusable software and research in audio and music research. It notes that while researchers write code as part of their work, they often do not publish or share it, making the research difficult to reproduce. The author proposes the creation of SoundSoftware.ac.uk to help audio and music researchers create sustainable research software that can be reused by others. This would be done through employing software developers, training researchers, and curating shared data and software. Examples of existing sustainable software projects like Sonic Visualiser and SAWA are provided. The document concludes by calling for involvement and support of the proposed SoundSoftware.ac.uk project.
This document provides an overview of research skills for a book club, including finding and evaluating sources, understanding copyright and fair use principles, and identifying tools and resources for multimedia projects. Key aspects of copyright law and the fair use doctrine are explained, along with recommendations for research databases, open media sources, and citation and collaboration tools. Ethics of source use and attribution are emphasized throughout the discussion of conducting copyright-compliant research.
The document discusses the growth of repositories over time and some themes around their development, including repositories becoming more integrated with other systems and having policies around access. It also touches on the idea that the most successful repository model is one that is distributed like the internet and embraces web standards.
This document provides guidance on how to conduct high-quality research and write good papers. It discusses that research can involve solving existing problems using existing methods, improving existing solutions, or identifying new problems and generalizing solutions. The most innovative and impactful research involves identifying new problems. It emphasizes the importance of conducting new and useful research. It then provides tips for training innovation through extensive reading, writing, and rewriting to develop ideas. It discusses finding meaningful topics by starting from real problems and convincing others of the topic's importance. The document concludes by offering writing techniques such as overcoming language barriers, using an active voice, including visual elements, and being specific rather than vague.
These slides were presented as part of a webinar to provide RLG Partnership institutions with the opportunity to learn more about the current work taking place in OCLC Research and discover new ways to become more engaged in the RLG Partnership.
Topics covered include: Green ILL Practices & Deaccessioning Decision Tree; Cloud Library; In-copyright Print Books; Evaluating Rights & Risk for Unpublished Materials;
Special Collections Survey; The Library's Role in Research Assessment; Data Curation; and Social Metadata. A preview of upcoming events, reports and webinars was also included.
Supporting Digital Scholarship and Publishing at the GettySusan Edwards
The document discusses the Getty's support for digital scholarship and publishing. It outlines various digital resources provided by the Getty, including open access to digital images and linked open data resources. It also describes the Getty Scholars' Workspace, a digital tool being developed to facilitate collaboration and different aspects of research like annotation, bibliography building, and publishing born-digital scholarship. The final section discusses challenges and opportunities around digital publishing, including establishing standards and validating digital publications.
This document provides an overview of basic copyright law. It discusses what copyright protects, including writing, choreography, music, visual art, film, and architectural works. It explains that copyright exists from the moment of creation and lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. The document also covers fair use, author rights in publishing, and taking control of one's own copyright through negotiation of publishing agreements.
This document provides an overview of open source software for libraries. It defines open source as software where users can freely use, distribute, study, and modify the code for any purpose. Open source draws on contributions from a global community of developers to drive innovation. The document discusses common misconceptions about open source and outlines the freedoms and governance structure of open source projects. It also provides examples of open source software that can benefit libraries.
This document provides an overview of copyright including what can be copyrighted, ownership, protection, permissions, fair use, the Teach Act, and Creative Commons licensing. It explains that copyright provides economic rights to original creative works fixed in a tangible medium. Authors can copyright books, music, art, software and more. Copyright protection begins upon creation of a work and lasts for the author's lifetime plus 70 years. The document also discusses how copyright affects the public and limitations on use like fair use and the Teach Act that enable some uses in education.
A presentation by Claire Stewart, covering copyrightability, fair use, publishing copyright, written for and aimed at a graduate student audience. Delivered in November, 2011.
The document discusses Open Access and how it relates to the story of Aaron Swartz. It provides background on Open Access, including that it allows work to be published online for free access. It also discusses different models of Open Access like gold, green, and hybrid. The document suggests Swartz's actions may have been motivated by advocating for more open access to scholarly articles. However, his methods were illegal and controversial. The incident has brought more attention to debates around public access to scholarly work.
1) The document discusses balancing copyright risk when digitizing collections by identifying high-risk materials and leaving them out initially to provide broader access.
2) It describes challenges with unpublished works and "orphan works" where the copyright holder cannot be identified or located. Significant effort to determine copyright status and locate owners often yields inconclusive results.
3) The document advocates for managing risk through assessing collections, being responsive to complaints, and having clear policies, while still promoting open access to collections.
The document discusses copyright and how it relates to research. It provides information on copyright qualifications, rights, limitations, exceptions and fair use. Key points include that copyright protects creative expression, not ideas; most original works are automatically copyrighted; copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years; and limitations allow for uses like classroom teaching and library copying for users. The document also discusses determining if permission is needed to use other's works and outlines Northwestern's copyright policy.

OCLC Research @ U of Calgary: New directions for metadata workflows across li...OCLC Research
Presentation used as scene setting for 2 days worth of discussion around library, archive & museum convergence, metadata workflows and single search at the University of Calgary.
The document discusses how shared print repositories are transforming library services by allowing libraries to externalize collection management activities. It finds that approximately 20% of NYU's holdings are duplicated in HathiTrust and 10% are duplicated in HathiTrust and a single print repository. This suggests opportunities for NYU to further externalize print management by relying more on these shared collections. For shared repositories to realize their full potential, the document argues they will need to increase horizontal integration, develop governance models, and clearly communicate their value in order to accelerate libraries' transition away from solely managing their own print collections.
A presentation focusing on the data analysis OCLC Research performed on 900K museum records, plus next steps for the nine project museums who now have the capacity to share standards-based records.
The document discusses collaboration between libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs). It provides examples of successful collaborations including the New York Art Consortium of several major art libraries in New York City. It identifies key factors that enable collaboration, such as having an inspiring vision, incentives for staff, and resources to support collaborative projects. The document advocates for LAMs to move beyond just cooperation to more deeply collaborative partnerships.

The document discusses OCLC's strategy to develop web-scale library management services by moving functionality like circulation, acquisitions, cataloging and other services to an online platform. This would allow libraries to access applications without maintaining their own software and infrastructure, freeing them to focus on user services. The new services would provide efficiencies through shared workflows, data and applications between libraries on a global scale. OCLC is testing components and plans to roll services out in phases starting in 2009.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

3. A reminder of the salient facts
• Published materials
• In the public domain if published in the US before 1923
• 1923-1963: was it renewed?
• To 1977: was it published without notice?
• Unpublished materials
• Longer term: life of the author plus 70 years
• In 2009, we have access to works from authors who died before
1939
• If the date of death is unknown, still may be copyrighted after
120 years
• TONS of “orphan works” in manuscript collections
• Limited statutory damages for unpublished materials

4. A reminder of the salient facts
• Orphan work: a copyrighted work where it is difficult or
impossible to find or contact the rightsholder
• Anonymous
• “Aunt Sally”
• Rights belong to heirs
• Rights belong to a new company
• The concept of “reasonable effort”
• The concept of a rights holders’ registry (in proposed
legislation and in Google Settlement)
• Perpetually pending legislation: failed, considered bad
(by all sides), could come back anew?

6. Interviews from RLG Partnership (books)
• 8 institutions, not all working on “mass digitization”
• Identify “high risk materials” and eliminate them from
pool in order to give quick access to the largest number
of materials
• Books, published in the US, before 1923
• Not a lot of effort devoted to this work at this time
• Some well-established numbers from University of
Michigan on costs for “low hanging fruit” and for
identifying low risk materials to 1963.
• Left aside are riskier materials to 1963, materials
published outside of US, materials after 1963
• Information stored in paper and electronic form, some
storing information in MARC records

7. Interviews from RLG Partnership (unpublished)
• Mostly “permissions based”
• Work not transferable
• Information stored offline, not shared
• High effort, low return
• If efforts are non-conclusive, requests denied --
“We say no a lot”
• A profession paralyzed, collections shackled

• Drafted in 2008, awaiting approval from SAA Council
before publication
• Advises a step-wise approach for determining if
unpublished materials may be considered as orphans
• Suggests sources, sets up a process
• Even though items may be in collections, focus is on
item level assessment

• Highlights
• Most important for US in-copyright, not commercially-available
books
• Choices for contributing libraries
• Research Corpus
• For the rest of us
• But what does it all really mean?
• Google and only Google has this arrangement
• Appearance that Google has solved Orphan Works problem
• Who’s looking out for the people?

Slide from Denise Covey Troll, CNI, April 2006
14. 1923-1963: How much? What’s the impact on research
and teaching?
• Based on a January 2007 snapshot of WorldCat, we can
estimate that ~15% of US imprints were published
between 1923-1963; ~2M titles
• Independent studies at Stanford and Michigan suggest
that ~30% of US imprints are in copyright; up to 70%
may be in the public domain
• An optimistic scenario: ~2M * .70 = ~1.4M titles
• Add to this the pre-1923 books already in the public
domain, est. ~15% of US imprints; optimistically, a
total of ~3.4M titles, or the volume equivalent of a
mid-level ARL collection
Suppose we go as far as we can with this?
What’s the likely impact?

20. What diligence is “due”? What is reasonable
effort?
University of North Carolina, Thomas E. Watson collection
• Privately funded two-year grant to digitize and publish
• 19.5 linear feet / 8500 letters, postcards, telegrams
and notes
• Created by Thomas E. Watson, family, friends, and
political and business colleagues: 3304 individuals!
• 1873-1986, bulk dates 1880s-1920s
• Sources included Wikipedia, Social Security Death
Index, Ancestry.com, print reference works
• 14 weeks of FTE (or, 40 minutes per item)
• Results stunningly inconclusive

22. What diligence is “due”? What is reasonable
effort?
• Results questionable (sources, the “Aunt Sally”
problem)
• No way to contact thousands of authors or their
descendants
• My conclusion? A laudable experiment reveals a crazy
amount of effort. No one should do this again.

23. Archival Code of Ethics
• IX “Archivists must uphold all federal, state, and local
laws.”
• VII “Archivists protect the privacy rights of donors and
individuals or groups who are the subject of records….”
• VI “Archivists strive to promote open and equitable
access to their services and the records in their care
without discrimination or preferential treatment...”
• III “Archivists should exercise professional judgment in
acquiring, appraising, and processing historical
materials….”

24. What is a balanced approach?
• Balance rights of copyright holders
• Minimize damage to reputation (and budget)
• Maximize access to collections
• Minimize damage to researchers of all types

26. Managing and accepting reasonable risk
• You are less likely get in hot water if you manage risk
• Assessment of collections along a variety of matrixes
• Copyright
• Violation of third party privacy and publicity rights
• Work with donors
• Understanding of the creators of materials and copyright status
of collection
• Understanding of the content of the collection
• Some collections may require a “cooling period”
• Some collections may not be eligible for digitization
• Materials created for commercial purposes high(er) risk
• Record your decisions, share what you find
Annual RLG Partnership Meeting, June 2009
26 Beyond Copyright
27. Managing and accepting reasonable risk (cont)
• Have good, clear take down policies
• Be responsive to complaints
• Web 2.0 may provide space for “the other side” to tell
their story
• Establish a contingency fund for possible litigation
• Take one for the team! (We need case law.)
I am indebted to Maggie Dickenson, Laura Clark Brown, Peter Jaszi, Bill Landis,
Aprille MacKay, Peter Hirtle, Denise Troll Covey, Dan Santamaria, and a cast of
thousands for sharing their work and ideas with me.

29. Stray thoughts to spark discussion
• Working title: “Balancing act – responsible rights
management with regard to unpublished collections”
• Focus on digitization of unpublished collections
• Invitational panel in San Mateo or LA – live-cast to all
• Encourage all speakers to have one or more provocative
suggestions (and avoid rat-holes)
• Leave with a sense of what we can do now and what we
should do next.
