Undue Diligence: Seeking Low-risk Strategies for Making Collections of Unpubl...OCLC Research
Slides from the 11 March 2010 OCLC Research meeting, Undue Diligence: Seeking Low-risk Strategies for Making Collections of Unpublished Materials More Accessible.
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.

Libraries are now supporting research and learning behaviors in data rich network environments. This presentation looks at some examples focusing on how an emphasis on individual systems needs to give way to a broader view of process, workflow and behaviors.
It also discusses how this environment creates a demand for collaboration at scale among libraries.
The identity of the library is closely bound with its collections. In a print world, this made sense, as the central role of the library was to place materials close to the user and arrange them for effective use.
However, in a network environment this is no longer the case. Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, Membership and Research, and Chief Strategist at the Online Computer Library Center, will discuss the following three trends that are changing the character of library collections:
The facilitated collection, where the library connects users to resources of interest to their research and learning needs, whether or not they are assembled locally.
The collective collection, where libraries begin to think about moving to shared environments to manage their collections and assuming collective responsibility for stewardship of the scholarly record.
The inside-out collection, where libraries work with other campus partners to support the creation, management and disclosure of institutional materials—research data, special collections, and so on. Here the library supports the creative enterprise of scholarship directly. Together, these trends are changing how we think about collections, libraries, and services to their users.

Collections unbound: collection directions and the RLUK collective collectionlisld
A presentation given to RLUK Members' meeting at the University of Warwick.
The library identity has been closely bound with its collection. However this is changing as research and learning behaviours evolve in a network environment. There are three interesting trends. First, atttention is shifting from a library-centric view of a locally owned collection to a user-centred view of a facilitated collection in places where the library can add value. Second, there is growing emphasis on support for creation, for the process of research, as well as for the products, the article or book. And third, we are seeing a changing perspective on the historic core, the print book collection. Increasingly, this is being seen in collective ways as institutions manage down print, or think about its management in cooperative settings, or retire collections as space is reconfigured around research and learning experiences. This presentation also provides preliminary findings for the analysis being carried out by OCLC Research of the RLUK collective collection.
This document discusses what business libraries are in and how they should reposition themselves. It argues that libraries should move away from being centered around physical collections and toward prioritizing user engagement, expertise, services and digital infrastructure. Specifically, it suggests that libraries focus on space that encourages social interaction and knowledge sharing, make their expertise more visible, provide more user-centered services, leverage cloud-based systems, and use data to better support research and learning.
The Library in the Life of the User: Two Collection Directionslisld
Our understanding of library collections is changing in a digital, network environment. This presentation focuses on two trends in this context. First, the inside-out library is a trend which sees libraries support the creation, management and discoverability of institutional materials: research data, expertise, preprints, and so on. Second, the facilitated collection is a trend which sees libraries increasingly organize resources around user interests, whether these resources are external, collaborative or locally acquired.

This presentation was given at Bobcatsss2013 in Ankara.
Once the library assembled a collection and people came to the library to use it. Now, people build communication, workflows and behaviors around a variety of network resources. The library needs to think about how it is visible and relevant in those workflows and behaviors.

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user's behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.
Users are not only heavily using new tools, but are also creating and shaping their own preferred tools.
Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments.
Tomorrow's research staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment.
Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating library services and resources into their environments.

1. The document discusses collaborative activities in libraries, identifying three main areas: shared service infrastructure, cooperative negotiation and licensing, and professional development and networking.
2. It analyzes libraries through the lenses of an organizational perspective focused on infrastructure, engagement, and innovation, and a service configuration perspective oriented around collections, space, services, and support for student success and research.
3. The key is finding the right scale for collaborative activities to increase engagement, leverage infrastructure, and scale learning and innovation to support the evolving role of libraries.

Open Context and Publishing to the Web of Data: Eric Kansa's LAWDI Presentationekansa
This presentation discusses how a model of “data sharing as publishing” can contribute to developing Linked Open Data resources in archaeology and the study of the ancient world. The paper gives examples from Open Context’s developing approach to data editing, documentation and quality improvement processes. The goal of these efforts is to better align the professional interests of individual researchers with the needs of the larger community to access and use high-quality data in Linked Data scenarios.

1) The document discusses how libraries need to shift from being collection-centric to engagement-based by building new relationships on institutional and network levels.
2) It provides examples of how libraries can improve discovery and access through collaborative initiatives like shared print repositories and developing discovery layers.
3) Libraries are encouraged to explore distinctive engagement services that enhance student experience and research, like curating data assets and measuring researcher impact. This requires reallocating resources away from redundant infrastructure towards new partnerships.
The network reshapes the research library collectionlisld
The library collection has been central to library identity and service, however we are now seeing major changes in how libraries help discover, curate and create collections. This is a response to evolving research and learning behaviors in a network environment. This presentation considers trends which are influencing how we think about library curatorial activities and are reshaping their collections. The first direction is the ‘inside-out library’ which is a response to the reorganization of research work by the digital environment. The second is the facilitated collections, which is a response to the reorganization of the information space by the network. The presentation discusses three ways in which we are thinking differently about collections: the inside out collection, the facilitated collection, and the collective collection.
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.
Challenges and opportunities for academic librarieslisld
Research and learning behaviors are changing in a network environment. What challenges do Academic libraries face? What opportunities do they have? A presentation given at a symposium on the future of academic libraries at the Open University.
The document discusses personal information management (PIM) tools and strategies. It describes how PIM has been an issue since information became available and outlines some common PIM tools like email, calendars, computer desktop organization, and websites. It also discusses the implications of increased digital information storage, such as challenges around saving, organizing, and retrieving personal information across multiple tools and locations.
Linked Data in a University Context: Publication, Applications and Beyond
The Open University (OU) is exposing its data as linked open data to make it more transparent, reusable and discoverable both internally and externally. This includes data about courses, research outputs, library resources and more. By linking its data to other university and external datasets, the OU aims to create new applications and make existing processes more efficient. Other universities in the UK and worldwide are now following the OU's example in publishing institutional data as linked open data.
The identity of the library is closely bound with its collections. In a print world, this made sense, as the central role of the library was to place materials close to the user and arrange them for effective use.

A discussion of the role of taxonomies in developing tools to organize and discover information about people. Presented by Bert Carelli as part of the Special Libraries Association’s “Leveraging Your Taxonomy” series.
Fuller Disclosure: Getting More Collections into the Network Flowkramsey
The document discusses how libraries can make more of their collections discoverable by being where users search for information online. It recommends focusing on collection-level descriptions rather than exhaustive item-level metadata. Libraries should digitize materials, share metadata across systems, and engage users to add descriptive information over time. The goal is to expose hidden collections and get them integrated into the online information landscape where discovery happens.
Faceted Navigation (LACASIS Fall Workshop 2005)Bradley Allen
Faceted navigation is a new software approach that provides an overview of available information using metadata properties or "facets". It goes beyond search by providing context and repeatability. While challenges remain around scale, algorithms, and usability, faceted navigation has the potential to significantly improve finding and discovering information when combined with Semantic Web standards like RDF.
Asis&t webinar people directories access innovationsBert Carelli
This document discusses using taxonomies to create people directories and author networks. It outlines Access Innovations' background in building taxonomies and their data harmony software. Taxonomies can play a role in developing better resources about people by linking entities like authors, publications, and institutions. This allows for knowledge discovery and collaboration through detailed author profiles, visualizing co-author networks, and integrating identity into publisher systems. Standards like VIAF, ORCID, and Project VIVO aim to connect names and publications across repositories through semantic linking of author data.
In other words...: Using multiple taxonimieskramsey
The document discusses the perspectives and contexts in which information objects are created, collected, described, discovered, and used over time. It also summarizes the services provided by the Knowledge and Library Services at Harvard Business School, including collections, reference services, web services, and knowledge and information assets management. Finally, it discusses the changing models in taxonomy management, controlled vocabularies, and perspectives in accessing information over time.
This document discusses disruptive changes in libraries due to new technologies and user behaviors. It notes the shift to electronic resources like e-journals, e-books, and born-digital content, which require new library processes. Open science and open educational resources are also discussed. Surveys found that younger users value quick search results over assistance from librarians. The future of libraries is uncertain as their roles evolve in research and learning. Options for shared library services are presented to help libraries adapt to these changes in a sustainable way.
Scholarly Information Practices In The Online EnvironmentOCLC Research
The document discusses opportunities for libraries to develop shared service frameworks based on scholars' core activities in the online environment. It analyzes literature on scholarly information practices to identify common themes across disciplines. Key findings show convergence in practices like searching, collecting, and collaborating. This implies a need for generic models of core library services to support current research workflows. Frameworks based on scholars' information needs could help libraries invest strategically and avoid duplicating efforts.
Networking Repositories, Optimizing Impact: Georgia Knowledge Repository MeetingKaren S Calhoun
Prepared as the keynote for the Georgia Knowledge Repository's annual meeting, this presentation discusses why repositories are important, the challenges they face, and solutions or opportunities for networking repositories and optimizing their impact for local, regional and global communities.
The document discusses the changing nature of metadata and libraries' role in discovery. It argues that metadata must be integrated across systems to provide users with easy, comprehensive discovery and access to materials. Libraries should share metadata openly and partner with other institutions and technologies. The goal is a global network where users can easily find and access information from any starting point.
Virtual Communities: Catalysts for Advancing ScholarshipJohn Butler
The document discusses virtual communities and their role in advancing scholarship. It provides examples of real-life virtual communities like HarvestChoice and EthicShare that were developed to support specific scholarly communities. It describes the development process for EthicShare, a virtual research environment for practical ethics scholars, including assessing community needs, developing content and tools, and engaging the community through iterative design.

The document discusses trends in using Web 2.0 technologies in the workplace and beyond. It provides an overview of Web 2.0 and 3.0 concepts and definitions. It also shares the results of a survey on the purpose, usage, and interactivity of Web 2.0 technologies. Examples are given of how various organizations like National Geographic, federal government agencies, and professional associations are using technologies like wikis, blogs, social networking sites, and more to collaborate internally and engage external communities. Challenges and opportunities of adopting these new technologies are also addressed.
Webscale Discovery with the Enduser in Mind Debra Kolah
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2012 SLA Annual Conference in Chicago. It discusses the history of discovery tools in libraries, from cataloging to federated search to web-scale discovery. It provides biographies of three speakers: Harry Kaplanian of EBSCO Publishing, Debra Kolah of Rice University, and Rafal Kasprowski of Rice University. The presentation covered topics like the development of discovery services, lessons learned from a discovery tool selection process at Rice University, and best practices for customizing and implementing discovery systems.
The document discusses possibilities for improving how libraries manage and disseminate information using semantic web technologies. It outlines tools like VIVO and Karma that can integrate relational data into RDF format. Examples show how Karma can be used to model person, position, and organization data from files into RDF triples. The conclusion states that while semantic technologies still have barriers, tools now exist to help libraries apply linked data principles.
Web-scale Discovery Implementation with the End User in Mind (SLA 2012)Rafal Kasprowski

core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

I'm really interested in how we reposition the traditional library into that more general area.” LAM: Campus Context

So it's a rather complicated place, and you can imagine the challenge we face in trying to bring all of this disparate information together.

This presentation is our round-about way of introducing ourselves, as well as the focus on integration for this visit. We hope that sharing some of the things we work on which might be pertinent to your quest will appropriately set the scene for the discussion sessions to follow.
The University of Calgary’s Library & Cultural Resources is in the midst of attempting something bold and daring: integrating its diverse units which collect, manage and share cultural knowledge into a coherent whole. This inspired vision has its physical manifestation in the Taylor Family Digital Library building emerging in the heart of campus, and its intellectual expression in the teams which issued reports charting a path into the future.
The University of Calgary is in the vanguard of convergence, and I predict that other institutions will look to you for guidance and leadership. That’s the good news. The bad news: Since you are in the vanguard, there are no blueprints for how to achieve your aspirations of integration. However, there is comfort in knowing that there are some fellow travelers who have taken stock of their situation and come to similar conclusions about the necessity for convergence, and a renewed emphasis on rare and unique materials. Here is one of those fellow travelers, Sheila Cannell from the University of Edinburgh.

Here is another voice from the forefront of convergence, just to make you feel a little bit better about your challenges. This is Anne Van Camp explaining the challenge faced by the Smithsonian Institution.

Both the Smithsonian and the University of Edinburgh were among the institutions where OCLC Research held library, archive and museum convergence workshops in 2007/2008. (You can see the rest of the institutions we worked with on the slide.) The stated goal for these workshops was to learn about existing collaborations, and catalyze even deeper working relationships among the LAMs at these campus (or campus-like) institutions. As I could tell from the citations in your documents, many of you have read the report which summarized the findings from these workshops. The way we have structured some of our discussions today has been informed by what we’ve learned in these five all-day events.
One of the clearest message we took away from the workshops: every single one of the institutions we visited grappled with what we wound up calling “one search”: the idea that a user should be able to determine with a single search which materials on a given individual or topic were held in campus collections. This is how Beth McKillop from the V&A frames the question. [See also Ricky’s blog posting at http://hangingtogether.org/?p=410]
[play audio 0:14]
The Victoria & Albert has invested a good amount of work into single search – on the slide, you’ll see a systems diagram showing how the information from their archives, museum and library collection flows together. The initial objective for this system was to use it as support for Visitor Service staff to answer inquiries such as the William Morris question.
Yale University, another graduate from our workshop series, has also made ambitious plans to turn the “Information Silos of the 20 th century” into an integrated “21 st Century Scholarly Ecosystem”. These activities is facilitated by the Office of Digital Assets and Infrastructure (ODAI), and include…
… cross collections discovery for the three major museums on Yale campus and the University Library. Their strategy for integration creates a central database of university assets by harvesting collections using Open Archives Initiative (OAI) Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (PMH). The museums in particular like this strategy since outfitting them as OAI data content providers empowers them not only to share data for Yale campus-wide integration, but also with other aggregators such as ARTstor.
In November, the Smithsonian launched a new website called “Collections Search Center”, a search service bringing together 2 million records and 265K multimedia files from 45 Smithsonian units. The Smithsonian Office of the Chief Information Officer played a key role in coordinating the units and putting the technology for this single search across Smithsonian collections in place. To support the Collection Search Center, the created a centralized metadata index plus a set of web services that can search, access and display metadata and derivatives of digital assets held within the Smithsonian’s major collections.
And, of course, the University of Calgary is also investigating single search across all campus collections. We’re eager to learn more from you what role Summon can play in bringing resources together, and what your plans are for a converged future. We hope that the agenda for our two days together will instigate a broad discussion about how to best leverage library, archive and museum resource for teaching and learning on campus.
Responses received from libraries, archives, museums, special collections, institutional repositories, digital library programs. Responses included four of the RLG Partners that participated in the LAM workshops .

Manuscripts, archives, ephemera, photographs, postcards, scrapbooks, clippings files, maps, architectural records -- So many of our special collections are hidden in boxes in warehouses. No one knows what’s there.
In 2007 we conducted a survey of 18 large RLG partner institutions that had multiple centers of “metadata creation” that were already reported to be working together in some degree – libraries, archives, museums, digital libraries, etc - . within one campus. Of the 73 responses, almost half said that over 31% of their collections were inadequately described, and unlikely to be without further funding. The breakdown by unit type is more striking – most museums said that half or more of their collections were inadequately described, and a third of the archival collections. (Library technical services responses had the best described collections – only 18% responded half or more.) OCLC just launched a comprehensive survey of special collections and archives in academic and research libraries - following up on the ARL survey back in 1998. The director of every library that belongs to the RLG Partnership in the U.S. or Canada, ARL, CARL (Canada), IRLA, and the Oberlin Group received a copy. Will the percentages of inadequately described collections differ much from what we see here? (Results will be published in mid-2010.)
Owners and creators of terminologies such at the Library of Congress (Library of Congress Subject Headings, Thesaurus for graphic materials, etc.), the J. Paul Getty Trust (Art & Architecture Thesaurus, etc), the National Library of Medicine (Medical Subject Headings), and the American Library Association (Guidelines On Subject Access To Individual Works Of Fiction, Drama, Etc), had invested decades of staff time and expertise in creating and maintaining vocabularies that aid in describing and defining materials held in cultural heritage institutions. In turn, libraries, archives, and museums have applied terms from these vocabularies to descriptions of items and collections in their care. So far, there has been no large-scale effort to leverage the power inherent in the structured vocabularies themselves, or to the terms that have been applied in the descriptive process. Demonstrator project that will hopefully show the possibilities for leveraging terminologies and inspire further work in this area. Harness the inherent power in these structured vocabularies: preferred terms, alternative terms, deprecated terms, related terms, broader terms, narrower terms, translations (in multilingual vocabularies). Relationships for a concept/heading can expresss equivalence, hierarchy, or association.
Libraries archives museums represented Small and large, publically and privately funded Range of functional roles: books catalogers, visual materials catalogers, art librarians, archivists, those that deal with digital materials. Strawman: Metadata creation Search optimization Support terminologies management (including maintaining local terms) Support “social” terminologies: collaborative editing and creation; contribution of data by non library experts. Value added intelligence (creating relationships between terminologies) Each asked to present strawman to 3-4 “like” colleagues at different institutions to sift and sort what would be most useful.
In each environment, the web service will be used to expand users’ search terms, by exploiting terminologies. The institution will provide the users’ search term to the web service, and the web service will return a list of results (in XML) that will include terms that “relate” to the users search term; results may include deprecated, narrower, broader, or related terms that are usually not embedded in a resource description. The XML results can be used at the discretion of the institution (to expand a user’s search terms automatically; to offer additional, related term for the user to use, etc.).
