This session will focus on the benefits and challenges of implementing CORAL (Centralized Online Resource Acquisitions and Licensing), an open source ERM developed at the University of Notre Dame. CORAL offers libraries the option to reorganize their electronic resource management workflow and to collect information about their electronic resources into one central place without having to commit funding for a new library software from the ever shrinking library budget. CORAL currently includes four modules: licensing, resources, organization, and usage statistics. In addition to the challenges that are faced in any ERM implementation such as data collection, data preparation, staff buy in, etc., this session will address issues specific to using an open source software in an academic library.

The Once & Future Repository; HKU Scholars Hubdtpalmer
The HKU Scholars Hub (the Hub) began service as a traditional institutional repository of The University of Hong Kong (HKU). However this format was not compelling to HKU researchers. Fortunately a subsequent reformation of the HKU statement on university mission and vision infused new life and purpose into the project. Over the next five years, in partnership with the Italian University Consortium, Cineca, the HKU Libraries transformed the Hub from an IR to a Current Research Information System. We expect that future development will see the Hub further transformed into a research information management system supporting both internal decision support and external public discovery. We will present new work developed recently to further these goals.
IRs collect, manage and display publications, and their metadata. However, an institution’s research, expertise and capacity is described by more than publications. The Hub, hosted in DSpace, began as the IR of HKU in 2005. Asking for voluntary deposit of publications from HKU academics, it received little notice, and more importantly, little support from University senior management. In 2009 a new HKU initiative, Knowledge Exchange (KE), adopted the Hub as a key vehicle to share knowledge and skill with the community outside HKU. Upon winning grant support from the office of KE, the HKU Libraries chose Cineca as a development partner. Together we designed specifications to extend the data model of DSpace. We architected solutions to support non-publication objects, including people, grants, and patents. These entities are managed in new database tables with a flexible structure that is able to hold indexed and interlinked attributes, such as co-investigators, co-inventors, co-prize winners, research interests, languages spoken, supervision of postgraduate theses, etc. The structure has been designed to provide native support (through a backend UI) to the data model extensions. This will allow local operators to easily add new entities and new attributes, interlinkable to any internal or external corresponding record, without the need to write new code.
Beginning with local data in several HKU silos, scripts will search for corresponding or augmented records in external sources, harvest and merge with Hub data. These sources are publication databases (Scopus, WoS, PubMed, etc.), funders (Hong Kong Research Grants Council, NIH, etc), patents (USPTO, Espacenet, Japan Patent Office, etc), and bibliometrics (Scopus, Google Scholar Citations, SSRN, etc).
The DSpace user interface now delivers an integrated search and display on all objects and attributes, as well as on ones newly derived, such as a) authority work on name disambiguation and synonymy in Roman and Hanzi (漢字), b) visualizations on networks of co-authors, co-investigators, etc, c) metrics extracted from external sources, and d) internal alt-metrics of view and download counts, and more.

Presented on Tuesday the 1st of October 2013.
Discovering and accessing relevant data is a problem often faced by urban researchers, policy and decision-makers
across Australia. Several public, private and academic entities are establishing Data Hubs; online catalogues for data discovery, access and interrogation. Data Hubs are
typically web services accessible via a portal, often with narrow geographic or application focus, with varied levels of analytical and visualisation capability. The Australian Urban
Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) is focused on providing better access to comprehensive datasets through a dedicated e-Infrastructure platform. The AURIN portal
will facilitate programmatic access to data held in many emerging Data Hubs across Australia. AURIN is implementing a federated data model, providing a single access point and common interface for interrogating datasets. This paper outlines the Data Hub concept, describing the process and benefits of Data Hub integration within the AURIN e-infrastructure context
Machine Learning encompasses data acquisition, transmission, retention, analysis, and reduction. The expected outgrowth of 24x7 data systems and operations centers is Knowledge Engineering and Data Intensive Analytics AKA Machine Learning. This presentation will develop and apply Machine Learning concepts to the Upstream O&G industry. Specific focus will be given to the fundamental concepts and definitions of Machine Learning along with the application of Machine Learning.
Ifla Satelliet Florence09 Disrupting Libraries Potential For New ServicesKen Chad Consulting Ltd
Since the publication of ‘The Innovator’s Dilemma’ in the late 19901s the work of Clayton Christensen has been very influential in the business world. What is the result when we look at his analytical ‘tool-set’ in the context of libraries and especially libraries in Higher Education? This presentation uses the Christensens analysis to look at library technology and libraries themselves. It also describes some concepts and steps necessary to think about and undertake 'disruptive' innovation. But can libraries really do this?

The Office of Research created an Expertise Search and purchased Plum Analytics, two services that integrate with Selected Works profiles.
Pushing the Institutional Repository to a New Level: Potential Benefits of Me...CULS
Librarians at Kansas State University Libraries recognized a need to document and showcase a more complete view of the digital scholarship of an institution’s faculty, staff, and students; giving us the ability to elevate the academic research and creative output being produced by our community. This need has been recognized, but not yet addressed by many universities. The mission of an institutional repository (IR) is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the publications and other scholarly work of departments, programs, faculty, staff, and students. Expanding on our existing IR workflow to include metadata only records we can better meet this recognized need while still meeting the mission of the IR. Presenters for this session will compare the two workflows, present survey findings from the campus community, and discuss the next steps.

Librarian building blocks; or, how to make the ideal librarianDom Bortruex
"Librarian building blocks" will explore recent changes and needs in librarianship, introduce strategies for learning new skills, and inspire participants to implement these skills. This presentation is for a general audience and will cover skills for all libraries. To build the ideal librarian, we determined what skills and knowledge a contemporary librarian needs to succeed. Since job postings and MLIS curriculum reflect current, popular trends in librarianship, we developed a data harvesting Python script that gathered the data for more than 600 librarian job postings and MLIS curriculum content. Based on this data, we will present which skills are being taught and which skills need to be taught. The presentation will explore what these changes in technology and librarianship mean for current librarians and how they can stay up to date in the continuously evolving field of librarianship.

Transforming liaison roles for academic librarians is critical, as universities are moving to position themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive national research environment. At La Trobe University, librarians are repackaging current research support services to streamline and incorporate these more efficiently into the researcher’s life cycle, in order to support the University’s research initiatives
Transforming the Quality of Metadata in Institutional RepositoriesNASIG
Established in 2005, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries manages one of the largest and most-used institutional repositories in the country. It has approximately 95,000 unique items. There have been nearly 45 million full-text downloads of the works. It is powered by bepress. The staff consists of three faculty and one managerial-professional staff member. The repository hosts original journals, including: Library Philosophy and Practice, Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences, Journal of Women in Educational Leadership, Manter: Journal of Parasite Biodiversity, RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences, SANE journal: Sequential Art Narrative in Education, and Contemporary Issues in Educational Leadership. The IR also hosts backlists or online sites for: Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, Honors in Practice, Insecta Mundi, Great Plains Quarterly, Great Plains Research, Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings, Nebraska Law Review, Nebraska Bird Review, Nebraska Anthropologist, Cornhusker Economics, and Business in Nebraska. The Zea Books, the repositories imprint, has published monographs in areas of reference, bibliography, ornithology, modern European history, zoology, botany, art history, music history, Native American studies, and early childhood and language education. More than fifty Zea Books titles have appeared since 2006.
This presentation will cover the workflows that have been established for managing the identities (authority control) of journal authors, adding ORCIDs for authors and working on the quality of metadata in the institutional repository. It will explore the limitations of attempting to manage the identities of authors in an IR (i.e., the metadata template is limited, e.g., no cross references, no dates or qualifiers for names) . It will look at how users access the materials in the repository and why some may question if working on metadata quality is really necessary or sustainable in an IR. Finally, it will discuss the plan to create Nebraska Scholarly Commons, a repository for all four University of Nebraska campuses, and the possible impact on metadata.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
