It describes OAI-PMH as a standard that allows repositories of content to share metadata and enables aggregators to harvest metadata from data providers to build services. It outlines how OAI-PMH works, examples of repositories that use it, common metadata formats, and challenges and best practices for improving interoperability.
Dan Ariely - World Innovation Forum
The document summarizes research on behavioral economics and decision making. It discusses several concepts:
1) Decision illusions and how subtle contextual factors can influence choices in major ways, such as organ donation rates varying greatly between opt-in and opt-out policies.
2) Experiments showing how the number of options presented and social norms impact decisions, like people buying jam or donating to charity.
3) The role of expectations in perception, as seen in wine taste tests where price and labeling influenced ratings.
4) How temporal discounting and hyperbolic discounting affect choices involving delayed gratification, and commitment devices that can help overcome this.

Summon: The Path of Least Resistance
The document discusses how students often find Google easier to use than library resources and will choose the path of least resistance when searching for information. It notes that libraries need to make their resources simpler to access so students do not have to become "mini-librarians". Data from studies show that students are unlikely to look beyond the first page of search results and prefer accessibility over information quality. The document argues that libraries should make it easier for students to find relevant information in order to save them time and encourage continued use of library resources.

This document summarizes Joseph Janes' presentation at the 2009 UKSG conference. Some key points from the presentation include:
- Janes ranted about how outdated and difficult to use online public access catalogs (OPACs) were.
- Common themes in responses to his questions on Twitter included frustration with library websites and discovery tools hindering access to e-resources.
- An example showed how finding information on Google and Wikipedia was sometimes easier than using a library's actual website.
- Janes discussed the need for library discovery tools and websites to better support students' instinct to take the easiest route to find information.
JISC LIDP ILI2011
The Library Impact Data Project analyzed the relationship between student library usage and academic performance across multiple UK universities. It found a statistically significant correlation between higher library resource usage (book loans, e-resource logins, visits) and better degree attainment. The project aims to help libraries better understand this impact and target resources to support student success.

Summon Launch
The document discusses the evolution of search tools at the University of Huddersfield library over the past 10 years, from Microsoft Word and OneLog in the early 2000s to MetaLib in 2006 and the launch of Summon in late 2004. It provides details on the content included in Summon as of the time the slide was created, such as nearly 50 million items including over 35 million journal articles, 33,000 journals, and materials from the library's collections, university repository, and more. Key dates for Summon's implementation and replacement of MetaLib are also outlined.
Glasgow: OPAC 2.0 and Beyond
OPAC 2.0 and beyond aims to improve online library catalogs by incorporating more modern web features. Second generation OPACs include relevance ranking, faceted browsing, spell checking, and social features. However, OPACs still lack serendipity and recommendations seen in commercial sites. Future library systems may provide unified search across different content silos and local indexing of web resources. The role of the traditional OPAC interface is uncertain as staff and user systems continue to decouple.
Cosi Opac Tweaks
This document summarizes several features that have been implemented in a library catalog called HIP. It discusses implementing a spellchecker using GNU Aspell or Yahoo services to catch spelling errors. It also describes using OCLC and LibraryThing APIs to find other editions and related works. Other mentioned features include email alerts, RSS feeds, getting XML output from the catalog, integrating with Google Book Search, a virtual shelf browsing feature called ticTOCs, and tracking item usage.
Cosi V Mware
The document summarizes the process taken by a university library to virtualize their Horizon library system when upgrading hardware. They initially tried moving Horizon to new physical and virtual servers running Solaris but failed due to platform incompatibilities. They then successfully migrated Horizon to a new virtual Windows server, but it initially crashed daily due to storage snapshots interfering with the Sybase database. Once snapshots were excluded for the database, the virtualized Horizon system ran smoothly.
Cosi Opac Tweaks
This document summarizes several new features being added to a university library catalog called HIP. It describes adding a spell checker to catch typos in searches and suggest corrections to avoid "dead end" pages. It also outlines integrating book ratings and comments, locating other editions using OCLC and LibraryThing APIs, and additional features like email alerts, RSS feeds, a virtual shelf browser, and tracking item usage. The presentation is available online for reuse under a Creative Commons license.
Sheffield
The document discusses how libraries collect and use data from users. The University of Huddersfield library collects data from turnstiles on who enters the library, books borrowed, computers used, and websites visited. This anonymous data is used to improve services like finding popular search terms and books. The library has shared some usage data with no restrictions to encourage others to analyze and build applications with the data. The author proposes that sharing usage data between libraries could help improve the student experience.
OPAC 2.0 and Beyond
The document discusses the evolution of online public access catalogs (OPACs) from the 1980s to present. It describes OPAC 1.0 as basic online card catalogs with poor search functionality. OPAC 2.0 introduced some Web 2.0 features like spellcheck and faceted browsing but lacked social features. The document advocates for open source OPACs and using web services to power discovery beyond the traditional library catalog and into new formats and resources. It envisions a more personalized discovery experience that mines usage data to provide customized recommendations.

The document discusses opportunities to improve online public access catalogs (OPACs) and move them towards an "OPAC 2.0" model. It summarizes surveys that found users give low ratings to existing OPACs and describes efforts at the University of Huddersfield to enhance their system with features like spell checking, keyword suggestions, and integration of library resources. The presentation advocates for an experimental and user-centered approach to OPAC development, and highlights open-source systems and web services that can power new features to create a more modern online experience for library users.
Web 2.0 - Continuing impact on Library Catalogues
The document discusses ways that library catalogues (OPACs) can adopt more modern, user-centered features inspired by Web 2.0 technologies. It describes the University of Huddersfield's experiences enhancing its OPAC with spell checking, keyword suggestions, ratings and comments, and integrating data from outside sources. It advocates an experimental approach to prototyping new features, and highlights examples of OPACs adopting open source platforms or using third party APIs. The document argues that while cosmetic changes may not be enough, libraries should explore new ways of engaging users and exposing collections through their OPACs.
Social Networking
The document discusses the rise of social networking sites and their use among teenagers and young adults. It notes that over half of online American youth aged 12-17 use social networking sites, with 48% visiting daily. Studies also found that teens primarily use these sites to stay connected to both close friends and more distant friends. The document also discusses social networking in the UK and how sites like Facebook and MySpace have grown rapidly in popularity among British teenagers and young adults.

It describes adding features to the University of Huddersfield OPAC like spell check, borrowing suggestions, and user reviews.

The document advocates an "OPAC 2.0" with improved search, user participation, and exposing connections between resources.
Online
The document discusses ways to improve online public access catalogs (OPACs) to better meet user needs and expectations. It describes the results of OPAC user surveys that showed dissatisfaction with the ease of use and features of existing catalogs. The author then shares experiences from the University of Huddersfield where they enhanced their OPAC with spell checking, keyword suggestions, borrowing recommendations, user ratings and comments, and links to related items. They emphasize the importance of usability testing new features and embracing an ongoing "OPAC 2.0" approach of user-centered innovation.
