Connecting Dataverse with the Research Life CycleMerce Crosas
This document outlines how data repositories can connect with the research lifecycle. It discusses Dataverse, an open source data repository platform developed by IQSS at Harvard University. It describes several application programming interfaces (APIs) that can be used for interoperating with Dataverse, including OAI-PMH, SWORD, search, and data access APIs. It also lists several integrations that are implemented or in progress to connect Dataverse with other systems like the Open Science Framework (OSF) and support functions like depositing data management plans, data curation, assigning DOIs, and more.
Library databases are collections of published information from reliable sources that are only accessible through the school library homepage. They contain fact-checked references, newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and primary sources across many subject areas. Databases are valuable research tools as they go beyond regular web searches by providing focused, curated resources to help narrow topics, and recommend related information from experts in various fields.

1. Dr Steve McEachern (Director, Aust Data Archive) Data Documentation Initiative (DDI: http://www.ddialliance.org/): A free, international standard for describing data produced by surveys and other observational methods in the social, behavioral, economic, and health sciences. It can document and manage different stages in the research data lifecycle, eg conceptualization, collection, processing, distribution, discovery, and archiving. Documenting data with DDI facilitates understanding, interpretation, and use -- by people, software systems, and computer networks.
This presentation was provided by Andrew K. Pace of OCLC, during the 13th Annual NISO-BISG forum "Interoperability: From Silos to An Ecosystem," held on June 24, 2020.
The document discusses possibilities for improving how libraries manage and disseminate information using semantic web technologies. It outlines tools like VIVO and Karma that can integrate relational data into RDF format. Examples show how Karma can be used to model person, position, and organization data from files into RDF triples. The conclusion states that while semantic technologies still have barriers, tools now exist to help libraries apply linked data principles.
Semantic Metadata Interoperability in Digital LibrariesGetaneh Alemu
This document describes a constructivist grounded theory approach to addressing semantic metadata interoperability issues in digital libraries. It discusses challenges like differing naming conventions, identification practices, and terminology used across systems. Bottom-up, qualitative methods are proposed over top-down standards to account for diverse cultural interpretations. Interviews with librarians, researchers and students revealed that controlled vocabularies often fail to represent local perspectives and that semantic interoperability requires a social constructivist approach.

from point zero to point one - Libraries and RDM in EuropeEUDAT
Libraries in Europe are taking steps to support research data management (RDM) but technical services are not fully established. Libraries provide some storage and identification services for research data based on a recent study, but only store approximately 1/10 of research data and have data repositories. Moving forward, libraries want to take on more curation roles but determining what data to preserve or discard requires significant resources and collaboration between institutions to address technical and metadata issues.
Current library tools have several challenges: they do not adequately support both citation metadata and full texts; lack social collaboration features; and provide limited usage data and resources. Flow addresses these issues by integrating reference and full text management, enabling collaboration, and providing insight into usage patterns while respecting copyright. Flow aims to create a complete research environment centered on the researcher workflow.

This document discusses special collections and equipment in libraries. It provides information on purchasing, displaying, and using equipment for academic research and lessons. It also defines and describes realia, which are three-dimensional objects from real life used in libraries and education. Realia can include coins, textiles, artifacts, tools, and more. The document outlines cataloging rules and fields for describing realia and other three-dimensional artifacts.
The document discusses implementing a better object model for digital serials in a discovery environment. It describes how serial titles were previously described by MARC records with individual issues linked as electronic resources, which did not allow for identifying or sorting issues. The new model places serials and individual issues in a hierarchical collection/item structure, with MODS records containing label and sort fields to identify each issue. It required planning metadata requirements and bulk updating of MARC records to link to the new digital object identifiers and include the additional issue description fields.
The document summarizes efforts to increase access to the collections at the Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library through cataloging leftist monograph collections. It discusses the library's mission and history. Tools used include an open-source integrated library system (Koha), WordPress, and CiviCRM. Fundraising efforts like letter mailings and email campaigns are mentioned. Projects include cataloging training, assigning subject headings, and recruiting volunteers and interns. The overall goal is to make the library's leftist materials more accessible to researchers.
This document summarizes a lightning talk on automating the troubleshooting of access issues for online library resources. It describes a common problem where off-campus users are denied access because their web browser caches an unauthorized IP address from their first visit without using a VPN. The talk proposes capturing users' IP addresses in ticket requests, checking if they are on or off campus, and providing automated responses that guide off-campus users to clear their cache and use a VPN to gain authorized access. This could help educate users and provide support outside of business hours by personalizing responses based on IP address location.
The document proposes a new workflow for cataloging and acquisitions at the Robert Crown Law Library to increase access and effectiveness. The workflow aims to improve operations through enhancing metadata of records and triaging acquisitions responsibilities. It also seeks to improve services by providing access to diverse legal collections, and expediting faculty requests and course reserves through increased efficiency. The proposal will require documentation, training, and setting priorities to implement the new workflow.
Sonoma County Library is unusual among public libraries in managing extensive special collections of photographs, rare books, wine-related materials, and local historic items. These materials are housed in several locations and represent only some of the library’s many hidden collections. We began digitizing and making photographs available online from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s with minimal metadata; today we leverage outsourcing and partnerships to bring over 40,000 digitized items with extensive metadata to the Web. Encouraging statistics show worldwide viewing and great local interest, yet many challenges remain: prioritizing collections, choosing platforms, developing standards-based workflows, preserving the digital and physical objects, developing and maintaining partnerships, and many more.
In addition to describing the ways we are addressing these challenges, we will also illustrate a particular case—an ongoing project of the Sonoma County Wine Library. Beginning as a clippings file decades ago, the current manifestation of the International Wine Research Database (IWRDB) resides at iwrdb.org. A recent grant awarded to the Wine Library offered the chance to upgrade the raw data and the search interface, and the project remains an exciting opportunity for potentially bringing together staff and researchers from wine libraries in the US and abroad.
Libraries, archives and museums generally share a commitment to provide access to collections information, yet we often struggle for time and resources to fully catalog, digitize, and publish our data. By working in partnership with community experts and other institutions, we have a better shot at reaching a broader public and improving the metadata and digital assets associated with our collections. Collaborative approaches to collections care and access—such as crowdsourcing metadata, volunteer-led digitization, and participation in aggregated sites like the Digital Public Library of America—can open up opportunities, but may require us to rethink our standard modes of operation and to shift perspective—from that of an isolated and distinct facility to one experiencing membership in a global community of institutions, community experts, and end users.
This talk will consider various strategies for “opening” collections processing, as well as access, using case examples from the Harold O’Neal film collection at the GLBT Historical Society, and Andrew J. Russell’s glass plate negatives documenting the construction of the transcontinental railroad, at the Oakland Museum of California.
Reflecting on both successes and failures, and her experience as a beta-test site leader and advisory board, consortia products review and license review and standards-committee member, Linda will offer strategies for being heard and solving problems. Which committees save you time? Are trouble-tickets the path to knowledge-base improvements? Is the Customer Services Representative visit an inside track to the Product Development Team? Is beta-testing worth the time commitment? Are conferences more than presentations and tchotchkes? Using examples from a variety of publishers, vendors, products, conferences and committees, Linda will offer a multi-pronged attack utilizing cross-departmental efforts to tackle knowledge-base errors, interface shortcomings, authentication failures, and feature loss. Universal accessibility and mobile availability will be explored as case studies in using license negotiation, consortia, trials and testing to pressure vendors to create products for our users.
A graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, MLIS program in 1984, Linda Wobbe has worked in diverse public and academic libraries along the West Coast, and currently serves as the Head of Collection Management at Saint Albert Hall Library, Saint Mary’s College of California. As Head of Collection Management, Linda coordinates Collection Development, and manages Acquisitions, Electronic Resources, Periodicals and Processing functions. Linda is active in SCELC, the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium, serving on the Product Review and License Review Committees; and NCCPL, the Northern California Consortium of Psychology Libraries. She is on the Steering Committee for NISO's SERU alternative to electronic resource licensing, and is a member of EBSCO's Advisory Board.
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.
Most archivists work, and for the foreseeable future will continue to work, in hybrid environments where analog and digital coexist and where the perception and treatment of one is informed and sometimes limited by the existence of the other. Analog collections are rendered in digital surrogates surrounded and supported by standardized digital metadata. Born-digital materials can be sorted and placed into desktop “folders” in an act that models familiar behavior with analog material and provides a comforting illusion of physicality. This presentation will look at how the mingling of analog and digital systems in the 21st-century archival institution affects, for better or worse, the perceptions and decisions of archivists working on the 20th-century paper backlog. Is the rapidly growing presence of digital systems in analog archival processing causing us to lose our (paper) minds? If so, does it matter?
Lara Michels is an archivist currently working on the “quick kills” project to increase access to the paper manuscripts backlog of the Bancroft Library. She is also an historian with a PhD from Brandeis University.
The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is an ambitious project conceived around the idea of a shared, national, digital repository. The resource would bring together the aggregated metadata of millions of publically accessible digital objects to the public. Working with eight pilot aggregators, the DPLA is ambitiously working towards a public launch in Spring 2013. The creation of the DPLA will result in the development of one of the largest repositories of free and CC0-licensed bibliographic metadata for digital content. This bibliographic data will provide researchers and library developers the opportunity to explore data mining, relationship building and experiment with linked data concepts. The DPLA represents a next step for libraries looking to move beyond their own walls and venture into the world of truly collaborative collections building. Terry Reese is the Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services at Oregon State University (OSU). He is the author of a number of metadata related software packages and libraries like MarcEdit, a MARC/XML metadata software suite and the C# OAI Harvesting package. He has published a number of works on digital libraries and library metadata issues, including co-authoring a book with Kyle Banerjee entitled, Building Digital Libraries: a how-to-do-it manual.
At the University of California, Davis, special collections cataloging is mainstreamed within a comprehensive cataloging department. In recent years, bibliographic access has been provided for materials that had been uncataloged and "hidden" for decades. Through cataloging efforts at the local level, original bibliographic records have been added to OCLC WorldCat, the University of California's Melvyl, and the ESTC (English Short Title Catalog). As a result of catalogers' virtual travel beyond the library's walls, hidden collections can be made accessible beyond the library's physical boundaries. Specific examples of calculated online searches, as well as serendipitous discoveries, will be presented within a broader context of providing access to collections "hidden" within the physical walls of a physical library, with the intent of suggesting best practices that could be adapted by other catalogers for other libraries. Elaine Franco is Principal Cataloger for monographs in the Cataloging & Metadata Services Department, UC Davis Library. She currently serves on the Advisory Board of the California Library Association Technical Services Interest Group, is Chair of the ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee, and is a member of the ALCTS Board of Directors.
The concept of a "library without walls" has evolved over the last 100 years. Are there any walls left for 21st century libraries to consider? One answer to this question is that the remaining walls are virtual, political, and economic rather than physical. These invisible walls segregate library content from other content available on the Internet and create various barriers that restrict access to library resources. The new discovery catalog at the joint academic/public library in San Jose is an attempt to break through some of these walls in a complex political and economic environment. John Wenzler is the Associate Dean of Digital Futures, Technical Services, and Information Technology at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library of San Jose State University. John oversees the development of a growing suite of digital resources and services available from the SJSU Library. Because the King Library is a joint academic/public library, he also works collaboratively with the management of the San Jose Public Library to establish strategic goals and priorities. Before moving to SJSU, John was the Electronic Resources Coordinator at San Francisco State University and has worked as a Systems Librarian at Innovative Interfaces.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy
From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.
m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
