Useful websites for sociology researchers are also listed, including databases, repositories, journals, and video resources.

Embedding open in the research training process

Danny Kingsley

Abstract: Some institutions offer graduate training that sits alongside the master/apprentice system. But many rely on models such as the Vitae Researcher Development Framework that do not encompass many (or any) open concepts. This means the training of researchers in many of these spaces falls to library staff. From the academic side, grassroots organisations such as AIMOS or ANZORN offer a community for the interested. There are multiple sets of competencies developed for scholarly communication librarians, but these are not represented in any university library course in Australia. So those teaching the research community are relying on gathered skills and working without a standardised set of agreed learnings for their target community. The result is haphazard and highly reliant on the skills of individuals at specific institutions. We are in need of some robust frameworks and standards. What are the minimum skills and knowledge we would expect of a graduate researcher in Australia when it comes to open? We are not starting from scratch, there are many organisations in Australia that have done work on some aspects of open training or skills. It is time for this to be brought into a cohesive and agreed standard we can all work towards. This was a lightning talk given online to AIMOS2020 (https://aimos.community/2020-program-schedule)

Impacts, consequences and outcomes of open policies in Europe

Danny Kingsley

The document discusses open policies in Europe and their impacts. It summarizes key points from a webinar on the topic, including cascading cancellations of publisher subscriptions, threats to the credibility of science from selective use of evidence, issues with overreliance on metrics, and policy confusion from many new initiatives. It notes fightbacks through reproducibility efforts but also risks like incentivizing risk-averse research. Overall it analyzes challenges to open science from various pressures and proposes moving beyond only counting publications in high-impact journals.

Adaption—The Changing Nature of Libraries (Part 1 of 1), Roger Schonfeld

Allen Press

Video of this presentation is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV58tFYgA2g&index=4&list=PLybpVL27qHff3BVHuNXqYsqTs2e98_MpT Sometimes survival means being faster, stronger, or smarter. Sometimes it requires flexibility, alertness, and the ability to adapt. Academic libraries are in the midst of a digital transformation, but in this transitional period some real tensions demand strategic nuance. An expert in the changing roles of the library, scholarly publisher, and learned society, keynote speaker Roger Schonfeld will lead us through the three tensions underlying the changing library environment. Each of these tensions is a budgetary tension, and each of them is a systems tension, and for each of them the library would benefit from a more sophisticated engagement by publishers and vendors.

Collections unbound: collection directions and the RLUK collective collection

lisld

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.

Embedded Librarians: Diverse Initiatives, Common Challenges.

davidshumaker

The document discusses embedded librarianship through an analogy of six blind men describing different parts of an elephant. It then shares perspectives on embedded librarianship from six librarians in different settings - medical, academic community college, academic research university, school, corporate, and public. Embedded librarianship means becoming an integral part of the community or setting by developing relationships, mutual understanding, and providing customized and high-value contributions as part of the team.

Open access resources in LIS education

Sarika Sawant

This document provides information on various open access resources that are useful for library and information science (LIS) education. It describes open access repositories, journals, books, course materials, search engines, conference alerts, and posters related to LIS. It also includes information on reference management software, open source software, and directories of open access repositories.

Promoting information literacy in the academic library

S Vong

This document discusses promoting information literacy in academic libraries. It defines information literacy as the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. Information literacy is important for students in their academic studies and personal lives due to the rapid increase in available information. Some issues students face include inefficient searching and difficulty evaluating online content. The document proposes three solutions libraries can use to promote information literacy: approachability, appeal, and advocacy. Approachability involves engaging activities to encourage positive interactions with libraries. Appeal means using new technologies like mobile and web 2.0 to reach students. Advocacy promotes library services through social media like YouTube and blogs.

The Clarke Studios Collection in TCD Library: A study in collaboration - Mar...

CONUL Conference

Presented at the CONUL Conference, July 2015, Athlone, Ireland by Marta Bustillo, Tim Keefe, Trinity College Dublin. Abstract "This paper will discuss the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Collection, a collaborative project between the Library at Trinity College Dublin and the Digital Repository of Ireland. The project is digitising, cataloguing and making accessible to researchers and the wider public the business archives and the designs for stained glass windows of the Clarke Stained Glass Studios, held in the Manuscripts & Archives Research Library at Trinity College Dublin. The collection will be available both through the Digital Collections site at Trinity College Dublin, and through the Digital Repository of Ireland. The paper will explore the relevance of a research-collection based approach to digitisation of library materials; the value of a digitisation project of this kind for teachers, researchers and the general public; the challenges facing such projects; and how these can be resolved through effective collaborations with internal and external partners. The challenges include issues such as the management of the copyright and orphan works workflow; deciding on an appropriate level of description for the digitised materials; metadata mapping; and promoting the collection to the right audience. The strategies to face those challenges include collaboration with library cataloguers, subject librarians and academics; tapping on the expertise of associated projects such as the DRI; and organising research symposia to promote the digital collection internally and externally. The literature on digital collections projects in university libraries will be reviewed in order to provide an international context to our case study. " Biography Dr. Marta Bustillo is Assistant Librarian in the Digital Resources and Imaging Services Department in Trinity College Library, working as Metadata Cataloguer for the Clarke Studios Digitisation Project. Marta has a Ph.D. in Art History from Trinity College Dublin, and an M.A. in Information and Library Management from Northumbria University. She has managed digitisation projects at the library of the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and the Fleet Library at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. Tim Keefe is a recent transplant to Ireland from the United States and is the head of the Digital Resources and Imaging Services (DRIS) Department at Trinity College Dublin.

The Past's Present Future: Emerging Trends in Online Cultural Heritage

Richard Urban

This document provides an overview of emerging trends in online cultural heritage. It discusses the evolution of the web from simple documents to user-generated content on Web 2.0. It explores how libraries, archives and museums are shifting roles from authorities to community organizers online. The document also examines citizen science, makerspaces, and serious leisure pursuits that engage users outside traditional institutions. It advocates for open linked data and greater transparency to better integrate cultural heritage online.

Open educational resources & open access

Sara Rutter

OER and open access aim to increase access to educational materials through openly licensed content that allows users to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. OER is defined as educational resources that are freely available online for anyone to use, and open access refers to copyrightable works licensed to allow free use. Studies show that many students do not purchase required textbooks due to high costs, and financial concerns negatively impact academic performance. Implementing OER in higher education can help give students access to materials from day one of class at low or no cost, and allow instructors to customize resources for their needs. The University of Hawaii promotes OER through its repository and recommends applying open licensing to works and adding materials.

Texas Tides

awclarke

The Texas Tides project began in 2002 with funding from a Texas grant to create an online resource for educators and students using various digital tools and resources. It utilizes international partnerships to provide cultural and language components. The Digital Projects department at Stephen F. Austin State University was created in 2006 to develop and enhance library, university, and partner resources using a team of digital librarians and student assistants. Cultural resources and Spanish translations are major components, and surveys are used to evaluate the site and direct future development.

Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...

lisld

The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on. At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues. This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.

Cultural Heritage Information Dashboards

Richard Urban

Large-scale aggregations of digital collections from libraries, archives and museums offer users unprecedented access to cultural heritage materials. But they also have failed to incorporate important contextual information that allows users to develop an understanding of the significant features of purpose-built collections. This paper explores the development of information dashboard prototypes that provide users a high-level overview of cultural heritage collections. Two case studies using rapid-prototyping methodologies are presented.

The Emergent Library: New Lands, New Eyes

Karen S Calhoun

Over the last two decades libraries joined thousands of other organizations in a massive rush to claim "new lands" on the Web . Yet at the end of the first decade of the new century, libraries may have network space but insufficient network attention (“eyes”). This talk introduces the notion of the “emergent library”--attracting more attention for library analog, licensed, and digital collections ; moving to cloud-based services; effectively deploying physical and virtual space; and playing a stronger role in the support of scholarly communications, especially through repositories.

Organizing a DPLA Service Hub in Missouri

Chris Freeland

Chris Freeland outlines his efforts to organize a Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) service hub in Missouri. An administrative working group including the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Missouri History Museum, and Washington University in St. Louis has been formed, along with a technical group led by the Missouri History Museum. The goal is to have digital collections from contributing institutions available through the Missouri hub on DPLA by October 2014. Next steps include constructing the technical infrastructure using REPOX and OAI protocols with guidance from DPLA developers.

Historically Speaking, Digital Humanities, EWallis July 2012

Elycia Wallis

Digital humanities combines traditional humanistic study with digital tools and methods. It values collaboration and sharing through open data. Museums and other cultural institutions are digitizing their collections, making vast amounts of data and resources available online. This allows new types of research, projects, and tools to develop. Digital humanities practitioners encourage opening data with permissive licenses to maximize reuse and partnerships.

Libraries: technology as artifact and technology in practice

lisld

Research and learning workflows are increasingly enacted in data-rich network environments. New behaviors are emerging which are shaped by and in turn shape workflow and data tools and services. This means that library attention is shifting from not only providing support systems and services but to supporting those behaviors more directly as they emerge. This support may take the form of particular system or services, but will also involve consulting and advising about such things as publication venues, reputation management, profiles, research networking.

Library 2.0

Kim Holmberg

Crowdsourcing as Public Engagement

Alastair Dunning

Crowdsourcing can be an effective way for cultural heritage institutions to engage the public by having them help with labor-intensive tasks like transcription. Examples where this has worked well include contributions to the Oxford English Dictionary, Wikipedia, transcription of over 47 million lines from Australian newspapers by local and family historians, and collection of over 1.5 million bird observations in one month by the eBird project. For crowdsourcing to be sustainable, interfaces need to be engaging; contributors need recognition; and crowdsourcing should be seen as part of a broader public engagement mission rather than just a single project.

Innovative Librarianship - Lib 3.0: The need, opportunity and trends

Anil67

This document discusses the changing role of libraries and opportunities for libraries in India. It notes that libraries need to go beyond just formal education and provide non-formal learning opportunities through open educational resources, MOOCs, digital collections, and makerspaces. Technologies are transforming libraries to provide anytime, anywhere access and discovery of resources. Libraries are becoming more user-focused and emphasizing access over ownership through resources like institutional repositories and discovery services. Staffing is a key issue and libraries require professional managers and staff skilled in research assistance, information literacy, and managing digital collections and technologies.
