The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment

Event: Practical Applications of Digital Curation Education panel at the Fall 2008 Meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, Silver Spring, MD, November 7, 2008. With Helen R. Tibbo, Sayeed Choudhury, and Kenneth Thibodeau
1) The document discusses the challenges facing libraries in developing digital strategies and managing digital assets in a changing environment.
2) It notes the difficulty stems from technological convergence and lack of recognized patterns or models, and the impact of digital library research is unclear regarding changing user behaviors.
3) The world is changing rapidly due to factors like limited application platforms, a vendor environment unprepared to support new forms of content, and a history within libraries of consumption rather than contribution. Libraries need to think holistically about their role rather than focusing solely on digital aspects.
Content Cell-Store at College 1.0.0 (Don Bosco College, Yelagiri Hills)James Maria
As educational throng institutions, colleges are providing number of programs and increase of student and staff strengths, the need for learning increases (with more and more stale contents pushed to students that least support knowledge quest and relying on paper industries and logistics), excessive reliance on classroom talks/notes for latest knowledge update, that makes learning very high school-like in higher educational institutions. The gap between the ICT impact on culture and educational institutions is overt for the mainstream Higher Educational Institutions.
Students often find the education as job preparation, rather than identity, values and knowledge formation for research, innovation and social responsibilities. Establishing a local content cell and store in the college is a right direction to grow knowledgebase, learning content locally with support of external sources.
This would provide students decide on the content they choose to plan and learn. Serving learning activities using ICT and students availing it for responsible usage will make them accountable for what they consume, providing analytics for modeling knowledge content, learning behaviors and new fields of research in education for life with new job roles in campus. This proposal furnishes the need for content cell (production unit) and online content store in the college with features and recommends roadmap for actions, financial sustainability (low-scale infrastructural support and college/institution community sponsorship) and rationale for this initiative.
It could be less than Rs. 100,000 and 100 days project. Project result is: converting numerous centers at campus into single-cloud window: Content Cell-Store. i.e. Content Cell (office) Content Store (Online).

Institutional repositories are digital collections that capture and preserve the intellectual output of academic institutions. They contain scholarly works and research in various formats and stages of academic work. The goal is typically open access to research. Major systems for developing institutional repositories include DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, and Digital Commons. Key considerations for starting an institutional repository include getting faculty buy-in, submission policies, intellectual property issues, and interoperability through standards like OAI-PMH. Ensuring ongoing contributions and use remains a challenge.
Enterprise Content Management and the LibrarianRichard Higgs
This document discusses enterprise content management (ECM) and the role of research librarians. It defines ECM as managing all organizational information across units and stakeholders through a centralized system. There are two approaches to ECM - taking a functionality/software-driven approach or an information/governance-driven one. The document argues that research librarians are well-positioned to play a key role in ECM initiatives due to their skills in areas like metadata, content curation and research support. It highlights how research portals can consolidate resources to better support researchers if driven by research needs rather than just technology.
The QUT Library views its website as a sixth branch in addition to its physical locations. [1] The website provides virtual access to eResources, reference services, guides, tutorials, and the online public access catalog. [2] Usage statistics from 2004 show the website receiving far more usage than the physical branches in areas like searches, page views, and downloads. [3] Managing the website requires coordination across various areas including content, user interface, technical development, and database access. [4] Ongoing issues with content management on the website include defining responsibilities, prioritizing maintenance, and ensuring library staff accept maintenance as part of their duties.
Reflections of a Digital Steward: Recommendations for Scholarship and Preserv...Millie Gonzalez
The librarian underwent a pivot in their role and responsibilities to managing digital services and an institutional repository. During a sabbatical, the librarian benchmarked Framingham State University's repository against other established repositories, identified best practices, and conducted research. The librarian recommends the library formalize the institutional repository team as a department to expand digital services like data management and digital preservation. The librarian proposes morphing the repository into a Digital Scholarship Center to offer additional expertise and services to students and faculty.
Institutional repositories are digital collections that preserve and provide access to a university's research output. They allow for long-term preservation of works and open access to scholarly articles, data, and other materials. Content is ingested through a submission process, preserved in a bitstream format, and disseminated through search and browsing. Institutional repositories differ from traditional databases in their use of bitstream storage and workflows. Common repository software includes DSpace and EPrints, which provide features like metadata collection, document archiving, and usage statistics. However, challenges exist in gaining contributor support and addressing intellectual property issues.

Digitisation Doctor discusses the costs and sustainability of digitization projects. It notes that costs depend on factors like the original materials, purpose, and user needs. Main costs include management, content creation, access provision, and preservation. Projects must determine who will fund short-term versus long-term costs. In-house digitization may be preferable for skills retention and small projects, while outsourcing can provide expertise for varied formats and volumes. Sustainability requires understanding user needs, demonstrating value, and integrating digital practices organization-wide. The document provides examples of different organizations' funding and skills models and strategies to reduce digitization costs through automation, workflow efficiency, and continuous improvement.
PhoneBooth:‘mobilising’ library-owned maps and manuscripts for use in teachingEd Fay
This document summarizes the PhoneBooth project which aims to mobilize maps and manuscripts from the London School of Economics library for educational use. It details Charles Booth's historic survey of London poverty conditions, how the library is digitizing these materials, and how an app called PhoneBooth would allow students to access and interact with the archives while walking around London. Technical challenges of the project including georeferencing historic maps and supporting multiple devices are also covered.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

10. Mission | Strategy
“Build and preserve distinctive collections to support
research and learning, and represent a record of
thought in the social sciences”
“Develop our digital library so that we are able to acquire,
preserve and provide access to digital collections which
match the strength of our print collections”
“…information repository services to support new forms of
scholarly communication and enable the School to manage,
disseminate and preserve these intellectual assets”
11. Making the case
• Collections audit
• Format diversity, volume/growth
• Risk assessment (threats to our strategic objectives)
• User and functional requirements (ingest, preservation, access)
• Options appraisal (‘market survey’)
• Community best practice
• Repository architectures
• Proposal
• Articulating value
• Solution: working practices, skills, infrastructure
• Development roadmap
13. Collections audit
• Known knowns
o Existing collections (legacy digitisation, research pubs)
o Known capacity requirements
• Known unknowns
o Future collections (archive deposits, official publications)
o Projected capacity requirements
• Unknown unknowns
o Possible collections (new digitisation projects, institutional
digital assets, research data)
o Unpredictable capacity planning
14. Risk assessment
Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk
Assessment (DRAMBORA)
http://repositoryaudit.eu/
Risk categories:
• Collection degradation or loss
• Reduced availability of content to users
• Loss of trust or reputation
Risk causes, lack of:
• Unified collection management/preservation activity
• Staff time and skills
• Technical infrastructure, investment in development

17. Options appraisal
• Comparator analysis / best practice
o Site visits (4)
o Cambridge, Hull, Oxford, Wellcome
o Desk research/interviews (7)
o Exeter, SOAS, UCL, York, Kultur, MIDESS, Paradigm
• Functional requirements …
… tested open-source repository software
o 24 requirements in 7 categories, approximating to OAIS
http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue64/fay
18. Proposal
• Approach
o Local implementation of skills, infrastructure for digital preservation
o Open-source technologies (repository and preservation tools)
• Resourcing
o Existing team: digital library manager, metadata technician, systems
administrator, collection representatives (academic services, archives)
o New posts: digital library developer, digital archivist, library assistant
• Implementation
o Phased development of staff skills, technical infrastructure
o Preservation first, then management, then access
o (this isn’t quite what happened…)
35. Roles and responsibilities
• Innovation vs service development
o Core skills and focus
o Embedding operational capacity
• Communication
o Cross-library (collections vs techies)
o Confident in requirements…
o …interesting IT challenges
o Long process of engagement
