This document summarizes the history and structure of CIFNAL (Collaborative Initiative for French and North American Libraries), an initiative to enhance cooperation between francophone and North American academic libraries. It discusses CIFNAL's origins from a 2004 conference, its membership structure under the Global Resources Network, and some of its current projects including consortial agreements for electronic resources, a Bibliothèque Bleue digitization project, and a microfilm identification project. It also briefly highlights findings from a study on current initiatives for French-language collections in North America by Sarah Sussman.
New Metaphors: Data Papers and Data CitationsJohn Kunze
The document discusses new metaphors for data papers and data citations. It notes that metaphors are pervasive in thought and language, and digital objects like files and folders are based on metaphors. It then provides an overview of the California Digital Library and how their environment and focus has changed from preservation to include curation and support for data producers. Forces like rising journal costs, increased research publication and declining budgets create structural problems for libraries. The document advocates a practical incremental approach to the complex problem of data curation, including initiatives like DataONE and the use of data papers and citations.

Collection Directions - Research collections in the network environmentConstance Malpas
1. The document discusses trends in research collections in the networked environment and directions for collections.
2. Key trends include collections as a service across a spectrum from owned to borrowed, workflow becoming the new content as researchers organize around different systems and services, and a shift from curation to creation as libraries take on new roles in research lifecycles.
3. Collection directions involve right-scaling stewardship through shared print collections and partnerships for coordination, and positioning libraries as experts that support the full research process.

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.

Reputation management is crucial for CXOs as reputation takes time to build but can be lost quickly. Warren Buffett emphasizes the importance of not losing a firm's reputation. While reputation increases market value and share price, a crisis can cause a 30% drop in share value. CEO reputation accounts for 65% of corporate reputation, so CXOs must actively manage their reputation through strong communication, transparency, and social media engagement. Reputation impacts customer and investor interest, employee satisfaction, and the ability to recover from crises.

CRL also coordinates several global resource partnerships to provide digital access and preservation of collections in news, law, agriculture, and science/technology areas.
Approaching the Long-Term Preservation of Print Documentation: international ...Constance Malpas
This document summarizes a presentation on approaches to preserving print research collections through increased collaboration and shared responsibility. It discusses models from North America and Europe where print collections are concentrated in a smaller number of institutions through cooperative agreements. The benefits of shared collections include reducing duplication and risks to materials held by only one institution. National bibliographic data and consortial partnerships are seen as enabling effective coordination of print collections across organizations.
The document summarizes the African Open Science Platform (AOSP), which aims to promote open data practices across Africa.

This document summarizes a presentation on international resource sharing and cooperative collection development. It discusses ongoing discussions around these topics from several reports and strategies. It then outlines factors shaping these discussions, including local constituencies, consortial agreements, and trends in publishing and preservation. The presentation examines five years of lending data from the University of Illinois, analyzing borrowing patterns by institution type, region, language and subject area. It finds area studies materials benefit institutions beyond research universities. More rare materials see similar use as widely-held materials. The data supports potential for lower-used collections to serve broader communities through resource sharing and collective collections.

This document discusses virtual research environments (VREs) in the digital humanities field. It provides examples of several existing VREs, including TextGrid (Germany), TAPoR (Canada), NINES (US/UK), DARIAH (EU-wide), and a VRE for European Holocaust research. It explains that VREs aim to provide researchers with collaborative tools and interfaces to organize, analyze, and share digital research materials online. However, developing VREs for the humanities poses challenges around establishing common standards, balancing diversity of research with coordination needs, and ensuring new technologies support rather than hinder existing humanistic methods.

Making the case for international library collaborations with the global south: A comparative case study of Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford
Paper at BOBCATSSS 2017
This document analyzes the results of a study on open access archives in developing countries, with a focus on African repositories. It identified 27 open archives across various African institutions that met certain criteria. Most archives are institutional repositories hosted by universities, have English interfaces, and contain less than 2000 items predominantly in the form of theses, articles and conference papers. The study found that while open access archives have grown, there is still a lack of coordination and national open access policies in developing countries. Repositories play more of a supplemental role to traditional libraries rather than fully enabling open scientific communication.
The document discusses evaluating learning resources for school libraries. It provides information on the types of materials that should be included in a school library collection, such as fiction, non-fiction, references, periodicals, newspapers, and audiovisual materials. It also discusses developing and managing the school library collection, including selection, acquisition, organization, access, maintenance, and preservation of resources. The document outlines the collection development process and provides criteria for evaluating resources.

The document discusses crowdsourcing initiatives at the National Library of Wales. It provides examples of past and current crowdsourcing projects, including transcribing historical records, building a gazetteer of Welsh place names from old maps, and collecting data on Welsh experiences in World War 1. The library uses crowdsourcing to engage with audiences, add value to collections, and accomplish goals that would otherwise not be possible due to limited resources. However, crowdsourcing still requires resources to plan projects, build communities, moderate contributions, and integrate public inputs.

The document discusses how cloud computing enables mobile library technologies and services. It defines cloud computing and explains how software, products, and data can reside in the cloud. Examples are given of library services, products, and data that are being accessed remotely through cloud-based platforms. Challenges of cloud computing like loss of local control and data security are addressed, but benefits like increased access and lower costs are also outlined. The cloud allows the library to become a platform for sharing content and data between librarians and patrons on their mobile devices.

The document discusses a survey of technical services librarians regarding their perceptions of education and continuing education. The survey examined how adequate LIS education prepares librarians for technical services work and the need for continuing education. It reviewed literature on education in technical services and continuing education. The methodology section outlines a 28 question Qualtrics survey distributed to email lists. Key findings were that over 80% of respondents felt their LIS education with or without on-the-job training provided adequate skills for their first professional position, and the most common areas of work were cataloging, acquisitions, and digital collections.
The document discusses the relationship between online public access catalogs (OPACs) and the web. It notes that library users now have many information sources beyond the OPAC. The presenters examine how semantic web technologies like linked data could improve discovery by allowing OPACs to incorporate curated web resources. They provide examples of existing linked data projects relevant to libraries and discuss challenges in applying these approaches to library data and systems.
1. The document discusses cloud computing and its applications in libraries. It defines cloud computing and provides examples of infrastructure, platform, software and data services.
2. Advantages of cloud computing for libraries include scalability, flexibility, and cost savings, though security, privacy and loss of control are potential disadvantages.
3. When considering cloud services, libraries must understand requirements, costs, legal issues, and have a plan for exiting cloud-based systems. Comprehensive service level agreements are also important.

This document discusses how library catalogs provide subject access to works of fiction. It outlines how genre terms from the Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama, Etc (GSAFD) are used in MARC records to help patrons find fiction by genre. The GSAFD list of 153 genre terms has been developed into MARC authority records. Libraries use genre headings from GSAFD in the 655 or 690 tags to help patrons identify the kind of fiction they want more easily than subject headings alone.
The document discusses various approaches for solving the "more like this" problem beyond traditional library catalogs, including FRBR which aims to make relationships between entities explicit, user-generated tagging on sites like Delicious and LibraryThing to organize content, and recommender systems that attempt to predict what a user might want based on their history and that of similar users. It also covers library systems that are incorporating community contributions and tags into their catalogs to provide more personalized recommendations to patrons.

This document summarizes Heather Lea Moulaison's presentation at the ASIS&T Annual Meeting on October 26, 2010. The presentation compared how geographic locations in the Muslim West are classified in the Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) and the Ibn Rushd Thesaurus (IRT). Moulaison analyzed geographic terms from the IRT related to the Muslim West and compared their classification to DDC. She found that DDC was able to provide close classification for over 80% of locations in Morocco and over 90% in Spain, suggesting it can adequately classify materials for a collection focused on the Muslim West. However, the IRT grouped locations by historical areas of conquest while DDC focuses more
This document outlines a proposed framework for creating a cultural heritage digital library in Morocco to provide access to non-textual information for non-literate people. The author conducted a literature review on digital libraries in developing countries and on the culture of Morocco. An ethnographic study was also performed including informal observation, conversations, and content analysis. The findings from this research could inform the creation of a cooperative digital library between the US and Morocco called CAMEL, which would provide audio-visual cultural heritage documents in a way that is accessible to non-literate users based on the cultural context.
This document provides background information and outlines a proposed study on developing digital libraries to provide access to cultural heritage materials for non-literate people in Morocco. It begins with an overview of the author's experience in Morocco and rationale for the study. It then reviews relevant literature on concepts of literacy, culture, cultural heritage and digital libraries. The document proposes research questions about how cultural usability and library and information science theories can inform the design of such a digital library system and interface. It concludes with an outline of the proposed ethnographic methodology for the study.

These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

6. Origins of CIFNAL
• The origins of CIFNAL/ICBFN go back to an
international WESS Conference in Paris in 2004,
– a paper delivered by Tom Kilton – then at the University of
Illinois –, entitled “A French-American Resources Project:
Needs and Potentials in a World of Migration.”
– Kilton’s vision was instrumental in the articulation of the
concept of a GRN-based group for French resources.
– Four large areas of potential collaboration were identified
in his paper:
1. Collection Development and Reference
2. Bibliographic Control
3. Digital Projects
4. Document Delivery.
Coulombe, D. (2007-8). Collaborative Initiative for French and North
American Libraries / Initiative de collaboration entre les
bibliothèques françaises et nord-américaines (CIFNAL/ICBFN). French
Studies Library Group Annual Review, 4, 22-25.
7. CIFNAL origins, continued
• As a result of this recommendation, an ad hoc committee was
formed and a proposal to launch this collaborative initiative was
presented to the Global Resources Network at the Center for
Research Libraries; this proposal was subsequently approved in
2005.
• Under the leadership of the ad hoc committee a development plan
and by-laws were written; the membership officially adopted them
in 2007. Based on this success, an interim Steering Committee
composed of Sarah G. Wenzel (chair), Tom Kilton (past chair), Jeffry
Larson, Sarah Sussman, and Kati Radics, working in close
partnership with James Simon, Director of International Resources,
and Judy Eckoff Alspach, GRN Project Coordinator, both at CRL,
have completed CIFNAL/ICBFN’s transition to a GRN-based project.
A newly elected Steering
8. Finding a “home” for CIFNAL
• Center for Research Libraries (CRL) http://www.crl.edu/ ‘s Global
Resources Network http://www.crl.edu/grn/index.asp (GRN) is the
primary supporter of CIFNAL (even thought the idea came from
WESS)
– The Global Resources Network, a voluntary and collaborative initiative
of higher academic research institutions, is playing a key role in the
expansion and enhancement of access to international scholarly
resources.
– Recognizing that academic and research libraries are becoming
increasingly interested in providing access to international resources
and in working on collaborative projects with partners worldwide,
CIFNAL/ICBFN is joining similar GRN-based programs such as:
• the German-North American Resources Partnership (GNARP)
• the Cooperative African Newspapers Project (AFRINUL)
• the Digital South Asia Library (DSAL), and
• the Latin Americanist Research Resources Project (LARRP).

10. CIFNAL’s initial goals
1. Improve access to French and French-
language resources for North American
partners as well as access to North American
resources for French and Francophone
partners, and
2. Encourage collaboration between North
American and Francophone establishments,
endeavoring to develop connections
between the collections.

11. Membership in CIFNAL
• Membership in CIFNAL/ICBFN is open to institutions and individuals
who are involved in higher education and scholarly research, and
are interested in participating in expanding the availability of
resources relating to French and francophone studies.
– Annual memberships for institutional members of CRL are currently
set at $250 and $350 for non-CRL members.
• There are currently 45 member institutions in North America
– Individuals who work at institutions that are not institutional members
may join CIFNAL by filling out the Individual Participant Agreement.
There is no membership fee for Individual Members of CIFNAL.
• Currently, there are 19 individual members of CIFNAL in the United States,
but also elsewhere in North America, in Europe, in Africa, etc.
• Further information on members:
http://www.crl.edu/grn/cifnal/member-list
• Membership and the participant agreement are available on the
CIFNAL web site http://www.crl.edu/grn/cifnal/about-cifnal/join

American Libraries / Initiative de collaboration entre les
bibliothèques françaises et nord-américaines (CIFNAL/ICBFN). French
Studies Library Group Annual Review, 4, 22-25.
12. Consortial agreements
• Currently, CIFNAL has entered consortial agreements
for electronic products critical to the study of the
French language and to conduct research on French
scholarship. These include Le Grand Robert, CAIRN,
and the Electronic Enlightenment.
• The work of Jeffry Larson (Yale, now retired), Sebastian
Hierl (Harvard), Sarah Sussman (Stanford) and James
Simon (CRL) has resulted in exploring and developing
consortial agreements for electronic resources. An
example of such a subscription is the Grand Robert
électronique.

American Libraries / Initiative de collaboration entre les
bibliothèques françaises et nord-américaines (CIFNAL/ICBFN). French
Studies Library Group Annual Review, 4, 22-25.
13. CAIRN
• Another example of a consortial agreement negotiation is CAIRN.
– “Cairn.info is a leading French language e-journal database which is
highly regarded for its scholarly content. It was first developed by four
leading publishing houses: Belin, De Boeck, La Découverte and Erès
with the aim of improving the internet presence and distribution of
scholarly journal publications for the human and social sciences. With
the additional association of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France
from February 2006, and later the support of such organisations as
Gesval, a publishing arm of the University of Liège) and Le Centre
National du Livre, it is now widely considered as a key database for
francophone content in these subject areas.
– “Over the years the content of Cairn has expanded from journals to
magazines and e-books. The full service currently includes over 300
full text e-journals. These are sub-divided into a number of thematic
collections which include law; economics; geography; history;
philosophy; psychology and linguistics.
• Institutions can opt to subscribe to the whole database or a range of sub-sets.
Dawson, H. (2011-12). Review of Cairn.info French Studies Library
Group Annual Review, 8, 7-10.
14. CIFNAL: Bibliothèque bleue project
• CIFNAL/ICBFN and ARTFL are collaborating with the Médiathèque de
l‟agglomération troyenne (MAT http://www.mediatheque-agglo-troyes.fr )
to create a publicly accessible and searchable version of the digitized
Bibliothèque bleue de Troyes. ARTFL has generously provided the initial
funding for this project as well as staff resources and technical expertise.
• The goals of this project will be:
– A publicly accessible and searchable version of the digitized Bibliothèque bleue
de Troyes.
– ARTFL will build a publicly accessible version of the Bibliothèque bleue de
Troyes under PhiloLogic software in Chicago. The TEI-encoded text will be also
added to the ARTFL databases restricted to subscribers, allowing for
comparative use and analysis.
– ARTFL will share with the Médiathèque de l‟agglomération troyenne the TEI-
encoded text of the Bibliothèque bleue and a copy of PhiloLogic
(http://philologic.uchicago.edu/)

American Libraries / Initiative de collaboration entre les
bibliothèques françaises et nord-américaines (CIFNAL/ICBFN). French
Studies Library Group Annual Review, 4, 22-25.
15. CIFNAL: Microfilm Project
• The goals of this project are to identify, locate, and
publicize the existence of major sets of microfilm
pertaining to the history, culture, language and
literature of France and francophone countries.
• The selected microfilm resources have significant
research value and reflect holdings in European and
North American libraries and archives.
• This list can be found on the French Microform Sets
page of the WESSWeb (Western European Studies
Section).
• Ceres Birkhead (retired, University of Utah) was the
coordinator of this project.

16. CIFNAL: French Pamphlets
• French Pamphlets: www.frenchpamphlets.org.
– For more information, visit the French Pamphlet Project’s Facebook page or contact Matthew
Loving, Romance Languages Librarian at the University of Florida.
• The Collaborative Initiative for French Language Collections (CIFNAL) is working on
a new catalog of online French Pamphlets. The catalog will be a database
resource able to link users to full-text, digital facsimiles of French pamphlets made
accessible by CIFNAL member institutions, international partner collections, and
other freely accessible digital library collections, such as the Bibliothèque
Nationale de France’s Gallica collection.
• A core group of interested CIFNAL members are helping to organize the project.
Due the collaborative nature of the project, interested partners will be able to
easily add their digitized content to the project database.
• The resulting online finding aid will have the ability to link users directly into our
institutional collections, improving access for scholars and researchers around the
world.
• Coordinator: Matthew Loving, University of Florida
http://www.crl.edu/grn/cifnal/current-
projects/french-pamphlets
17. CIFNAL: Digital Library of the
Caribbean (dLOC)
• In accordance with a memorandum of understanding between CIFNAL and the
Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC), the goal of this project is to work together
to improve and increase electronic access to francophone documents. These may
represent collections located in the French Caribbean or outside of the French
Caribbean with a focus on this region.
• Currently collaborating with the Haitian National Archives and other cultural
collections in Haiti, dLOC and its francophone partners have concluded historic
agreements to preserve and expand access to vital documents and materials. The
success of the dLOC model is based on mutual international cooperation. CIFNAL
members will bring additional linguistic and cultural assets to help dLOC reach out
to new French-speaking partners.
• Specifically, the two groups will work together to address needs related to:
– communication, partner relations, and translation
– meetings, training, fundraising, and grant writing
– collection development decisions and directions
– cultivation of relations with libraries and research institutes, specifically in France and the
French Caribbean.
• Coordinator: Matthew Loving, University of Florida

projects/dloc
18. Current research in French resources
• Sarah Sussman (Stanford) has been
researching and analyzing information about
current initiatives, digital libraries, and
collaborations in North American academic
and research libraries.
• Her forthcoming article on this topic will
appear in the BBF.
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
19. Highlights from the Sussman study
• Collections in Canada that focus on
French/francopohone works in Canada
• Collections in the United States that focus on
French/francophone works in the United
States
• [Collections in research institutions that focus
on the importance of French-language work]
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
20. Canada: BAnQ
• Pronounced B-A-N-Q (not “banque”)
• « Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du
Québec (BAnQ), à Montréal, a ouvert ses
portes en 2005, regroupant en une seule
institution (La Grande Bibliothèque) l’ancienne
Bibliothèque nationale du Québec et les
Archives nationales du Québec, et devenant
un des centres névralgiques de la ville. »
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
21. USA: Library of Congress
• « Aux États-Unis, la Bibliothèque du Congrès dispose
de remarquables collections portant sur ces
populations, leur histoire, leur culture, comme le
souligne son partenariat numérique avec la BnF, « La
France en Amérique, France in America », lancé en
2006.
• Cette bibliothèque numérique totalement bilingue
comporte des documents des deux bibliothèques
nationales relatifs à la présence française dans toute
l’Amérique depuis les premiers explorateurs jusqu’à la
fin du XIXe siècle. »
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
22. USA: La francophonie -- Africa
• La plupart des bibliothèques abritant des
collections africaines de niveau recherche sont
également membres du CAMP (Cooperative
Africana Materials project), le projet coopératif
concernant les documents africains, fondé en
1963 sous l’égide du CRL (Center for Research
Libraries). Il a mission de préserver les
publications rares et les archives portant sur
l’Afrique subsaharienne, et d’en favoriser l’accès
6. Il acquiert des microfilms et procède au
microfilmage de documents précieux ; la
numérisation de ces microfilms est en cours.
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
23. USA: La francophonie -- Asia
« D’autres bibliothèques possèdent également d’importantes
collections.
• L’université du Michigan s’est donnée pour mission de rassembler
les documents en français provenant du Vietnam, du Cambodge, du
Laos et de la Thaïlande.
• L’université de Californie, à Berkeley, dispose d’une bibliothèque
consacrée à l’Asie du Sud et l’Asie du Sud-Est (South and Southeast
Asia Library) dotée de fonds remarquables ; par le biais d’une
étroite collaboration en interne, on peut aussi trouver dans d’autres
bibliothèques de cette institution des documents se rapportant à
l’Asie du Sud-Est. Ces dernières s’intéressent tout particulièrement
aux études indochinoises renvoyant à la période coloniale française,
mais aussi à tout ouvrage scientifique en langue française consacré
à l’Asie du Sud-Est. »
Sussman, S. (2012). Les collections francophones
en Amérique du Nord, BBF, 57(6): 26-30.
24. Non-location specific collections
supporting social sciences research
• Collections both in and out of France in French
support research in North America.
– To provide the best service to their patrons, North
American librarians are quick to take advantage of
access to digital libraries and online research
supporting the missions of their libraries
25. The importance of “free”: Persée
• “A closely related service is Persée
http://www.persee.fr/web/revues/home
• This also focuses upon electronic publication in the social sciences
and humanities and was initiated by Le Ministère de
l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche -- Direction générale
de l’enseignement supérieur (MESR-DGES) in 2003 and is currently
managed at l’Université Lumière Lyon 2.
• It focuses on free access to historic sets of titles from academic
publishers including Collections Numériques de la Sorbonne and
L’Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (EHESS).
• The total number of titles digitised is currently smaller [than
CAIRN], but includes some extremely prestigious titles.
– There are more extensive back runs of other titles (including some
dating back to the 19th century) and a broader coverage of regional
areas outside of Europe.
Dawson, H. (2011-12). Review of Cairn.info French Studies Library
Group Annual Review, 8, 7-10.
26. The importance of “free”: OpenEdition
• “Another useful service is the OpenEdition site which offers the academic
community free access to a number of French language services.
• http://www.openedition.org/
• OpenEdition is run by the Centre for Open Electronic Publishing (Cleo), a unit that
brings together the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS),
L’Université d'Aix-Marseille, L’EHESS and L’Université d’Avignon et des Pays de
Vaucluse. It includes three platforms :
– Revues.org, which mainly focuses upon back files of academic journals. These usually operate
on a rolling wall of coverage with new content being added periodically. Abstracts are
provided for more recent content, with the facility for subscribers to access the full text. It
currently includes 337 journal titles and 22 book series. These originate from major French
university publishers, covering a broad range of social science and humanities subject areas.
– Calenda is a handy calendar of forthcoming events such as conferences, courses and
workshops. Users can subscribe via RSS feeds to receive continuous alerts.
– Hypotheses, which links to academic blogs. Blogs are becoming increasingly important to
academic publication so this resource is an excellent complement to the established academic
journal articles.
Dawson, H. (2011-12). Review of Cairn.info French Studies Library
Group Annual Review, 8, 7-10.
27. Nos amis les Canadiens
• Synergies

29. The place of Western European
languages in US universities today
• “…Western European languages and literatures
are less significant on many of our campuses now
than 20-30 years ago, as we make room--
physically, budgetarily, in the curriculum--for
programs involving increasingly important
languages elsewhere in the world.”

30. Re-engaging interest in French
resources: the Digital Humanities
• Digital Humanities:
– Examples: Kolb-Proust Archives, University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
• Conferences: The Humanities and Technology
THATcamp Paris (25-26 September, 2012)
(Free!)
– Manifeste des Digital Humanities (2010)
31. Potentials for involvement
• From France
– Organize a conference
– Volunteer online
• From the United States
– Do a practicum with a CIFNAL participant library
– Find another library in the US or Canada with
French collections and do an internship there
32. From France: Organizing
• Organize your own
THATcamp for people in
Lyon:
http://thatcamp.org/help/plan/
33. From France:
Volunteering for the dLOC
• “There are many ways your expertise can
help. Whether working on collection development
projects or helping assure the quality of the dLOC web
site and its French language content and OCR data,
there are a myriad of ways to get involved today. One
of the easiest is simply to sign up for a MYdLOC
account which will allow you to submit new materials
online to the digital library and also add and edit
metadata directly.
• Please sign up today at the following
address: http://www.dloc.com/ufdc/?a=dloc1&m=hmp “
http://www.crl.edu/grn/cifnal/current-
projects/dloc
34. From North America:
Going as a Student
• Visas, housing, and networks are more simple for students
– Going now is the BEST time
– You may never have another if you don’t go now
• Your English will not get better in Lyon, at least not as dramatically
• Sample ideas:
– University of California – work with the Romance Languages
Librarian on a CIFNAL project
– Partner library schools with French collections
– Look through the Sussman report in BBF and find and get help
making contact with the library directly
• Librarians love to talk about what they do and are flattered and
overjoyed to try to find a way for foreign students to participate in
their work.
