Site Study
The Visual Resource Collection at UC Santa Cruz houses 350,000 35mm slides and 8,000 glass lantern slides for teaching and research use across disciplines like art history, studio art, science, and anthropology. In the late 1960s, the collection was established and a slide classification system was developed using punch cards to catalog the interdisciplinary collection. In the 1990s, the collection migrated online using a relational database, adapting the existing system over less than a year with a team of three experienced catalogers. The online catalog provides faceted searching across controlled vocabularies and hierarchical subject listings. As teaching needs change and resources are shared more widely, the collection focuses on preparing records for major digital image databases.

Visibility and visualisation of scholarly publications online: Erdős and beyond
Developing and monitoring communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the "collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and improving the presentation of such links online in computer science and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of publications by academics across different disciplines. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online will be given.
Note: The talk will be accessible for academics across different disciplines.
Research Sources & Techniques
1. Choose a topic and narrow it down using background research from encyclopedias, books, and magazines.
2. Develop research questions to focus your search.
3. Use the library catalog to find books and databases like ProQuest, EBSCO, and Gale Reference Library to find scholarly journal articles.
4. Evaluate websites and sources for relevance, authority, objectivity, and publication date before using them in your research.
Online Academic Tools for Engagement
Developing communities has become increasingly easy on the web as the number of interactive facilities and amount of data available about communities increases. It is possible to view connections on social and professional networks in the form of mathematical graphs. It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and historically Microsoft Academic Search, now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. Identification of academic authors online is increasingly important too, using facilities such as ORCID. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online will be given.

Publishing with impact
This document provides 6+1 practical lessons for publishing with impact. It discusses how impact is important for career advancement and obtaining grants and opportunities. Key metrics for impact are journal impact factors and h-index. The lessons recommend knowing top journals in your field, balancing activities across different venues, making work openly accessible, maintaining profiles on platforms like Google Scholar and Scopus, experimenting with alternative platforms, and maintaining enthusiasm for your work. Bibliometric databases, open access, and self-archiving can increase citations and impact. Manual checks are needed because automatic systems can include errors.

It is also possible to visualise connections between authors of academic papers. For example, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and Academia.edu, etc., now have large corpuses of freely available information on publications, together with author and citation details, that can be accessed and presented in a number of ways. In mathematical circles, the concept of the Erdős number has been introduced in honour of the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, measuring the "collaborative distance" of a person away from Erdős through links by co-author. Similar metrics have been proposed in other fields. The possibility of exploring and improving the presentation of such links online in computer science and other fields will be presented as a means of improving the outreach and impact of academic publications. Some practical guidance on what is worthwhile in presenting publication information online will be given.
The facilitated collection: collections and collecting in a network environment
We often think of collections as local – whether owned or licensed. Increasingly this picture is changing in several ways. Libraries are sharing responsibility for collections. Libraries are providing access to materials they do not own, but which are available to their users (freely available digital book collections for example). Demand driven acquisitions changes the view of local collections. Institutions are also thinking about how to manage locally produced materials (research data for example) and support access across institutions. This trend is supported by changes as discovery is peeled away from local collections. This presentation discusses these trends, and collections and discovery change in a network environment.

For many libraries, an institutional repository is an online archive to collect, preserve, and make accessible the intellectual output of an institution. For a growing bloc, the goal is to go further, beyond knowledge preservation to knowledge creation. These libraries are using their repositories to provide faculty with a proven publishing option by facilitating the production and distribution of original content often too niche for traditional publishers.
How do metadata librarians sift the incoming metadata with these different goals in mind? How do they optimize content for discovery in a wide range of resources such as online catalogs, external research databases, and major search engines? For a library that is also providing publishing services, what additional steps are necessary?
As the provider of Digital Commons, a repository and publishing platform for over 350 institutions, bepress has first-hand experience with these topics, and our consultants advise regularly on best practices for collecting, publishing, distributing, and archiving content. This presentation is intended for library professionals, whether their goal is to collect previously published works or to go further into library-led publishing. After an overview of common sources and destinations for metadata, attendees will come away with a set of considerations for streamlining workflows and optimizing content for discovery and distribution in major venues.
Eli Windchy is the VP, Consulting Services at bepress which provides software and services to the scholarly community. She received a Master's in Archaeology from University of Virginia, taught organic gardening, and for the last ten years has also been getting dirty with the metadata of Digital Commons repositories. She co-directs courses in institutional repository management and publishing, and she enjoys addressing the challenges of interoperability and scholarly communication.Stockton assignment1 7130
The document discusses the information needs and research habits of humanities scholars. It notes that while humanities scholars prefer print materials like books and monographs, they are beginning to use more electronic resources. However, electronic materials are still not as highly respected. The document also outlines how humanities research is more individualized than other fields. It argues that librarians need to better understand scholar needs and promote both humanities research and available information resources.
Searching the Literature
This document provides an overview of techniques for searching the scholarly literature. It discusses planning a search by conceptualizing the research question and identifying keywords. It then covers using bibliographic databases to search in a structured way, using search features like truncation and filters. The document also discusses obtaining full texts, citation searching to find related work, and managing references with citation management software. The overall purpose is to introduce strategies for effectively locating and evaluating academic sources.
BEAM - Conard CTW2 - Spring 2017
The document introduces Bizup's BEAM framework for categorizing sources to use in academic writing. BEAM stands for Background, Exhibit/Evidence, Argument, and Method. Each category serves a different purpose, such as using Background sources to provide context, Exhibit sources to analyze evidence, Argument sources to understand perspectives on the topic, and Method sources to provide validity. The framework is intended to help students plan effective research strategies and select relevant sources for their assignments.
