It identifies numerous sources for professional development, such as journals, conferences, training courses and listservs. It also provides 8 strategies for maintaining professional development, such as setting up email filters, sharing resources with colleagues, and using databases to set up automatic alerts for new publications. Feedback from seminar participants was positive, with many finding the shared resources and strategies to be helpful for keeping their skills up to date.

Born Again: The Digitisation of the Anthropology Photographic Archive. 2004

Rose Holley

The document summarizes a project to digitize the neglected anthropology photographic archive at the University of Auckland. Over 50,000 deteriorating negatives from 1950s-present were selected for scanning. A database was designed to preserve the images and improve access. Through a partnership with the library and anthropology department, 5,000 images were scanned over 2 years for $80,000. The digitization was successful in preserving parts of the unique collection and making it publicly searchable online.

Rose Holley

The document discusses moving from digital projects to developing a sustainable digital program. Key points include: - A digital program is long-term, mission-driven, funded, administratively supported, systematic, planned and documented compared to individual projects. - Multiple projects centered around a common mission or theme can form the basis of a digital program with broader institutional goals. - Developing a program requires administrative buy-in, long-term funding commitments, integration with library services, strategic planning, documentation and dedicated staffing. - Collaboration can help provide more resources and experience to develop a program where an organization lacks capacity individually.

Using Archivemedia to preserve research data

ARDC

The document discusses a project to investigate using Archivematica, an open-source digital preservation system, to provide digital preservation functionality for research data at the Universities of Hull and York. The project involved three phases: exploring Archivematica and research data needs, developing Archivematica features, and implementing proof-of-concept systems at both universities. Key findings included that Archivematica could meet many preservation needs but had limitations identifying research file formats, and that collaboration was important for addressing challenges in preserving research data long-term.

NISO Webinar: Library Linked Data: From Vision to Reality

National Information Standards Organization (NISO)

About the Webinar The library and cultural institution communities have generally accepted the vision of moving to a Linked Data environment that will align and integrate their resources with those of the greater Semantic Web. But moving from vision to implementation is not easy or well-understood. A number of institutions have begun the needed infrastructure and tools development with pilot projects to provide structured data in support of discovery and navigation services for their collections and resources. Join NISO for this webinar where speakers will highlight actual Linked Data projects within their institutions—from envisioning the model to implementation and lessons learned—and present their thoughts on how linked data benefits research, scholarly communications, and publishing. Speakers: Jon Voss - Strategic Partnerships Director, We Are What We Do LODLAM + Historypin: A Collaborative Global Community Matt Miller - Front End Developer, NYPL Labs at the New York Public Library The Linked Jazz Project: Revealing the Relationships of the Jazz Community Cory Lampert - Head, Digital Collections , UNLV University Libraries Silvia Southwick - Digital Collections Metadata Librarian, UNLV University Libraries Linked Data Demystified: The UNLV Linked Data Project

Charleston Conference

The library migrated from their previous integrated library system to OCLC's WorldShare Management Services over a 6 month period. They moved their search, circulation, and catalog infrastructure to the new cloud-based system. The migration process involved preparing data for transfer and working through various technical issues. The library has made changes to workflows for acquisitions, technical services, and electronic resources management as a result of the new system. They have also provided feedback to OCLC on ways the system and services could be improved.

Music streams

Stefano Galarraga

Crowdmix is a social network focused on music that runs on an event-driven architecture. It allows users to share music content from various streaming services across crowds. The system is designed for scalability to support millions of users. Key components include Kafka for event streaming, Spark/EMR for batch processing, Elasticsearch for search, and Cassandra/Redshift for materialized views and analytics. Music matching is required to identify tracks across different services. Performance testing showed the architecture could support the targeted user scale.

The document discusses UNLV Libraries' project to transform their digital collection metadata into linked open data. It describes how the project started as a study group and literature review in 2012. The goals were to preserve metadata richness when converting to a standard like Dublin Core and improve discoverability by publishing in the Linked Data Cloud. Technologies used included ContentDM, OpenRefine, Karma, Mulgara/Virtuoso triplestores, and SPARQL. The process involved cleaning, exporting, reconciling, generating RDF triples, importing to a triplestore, publishing, and querying the data. Visualizations were created using PivotViewer and RelFinder to showcase relationships. Next steps include transforming all collections and increasing linkages to other datasets.

The British Library created a linked open data version of the British National Bibliography containing 2.5 million records and 80 million RDF triples. This involved converting the MARC21 catalog records to RDF and linking the data to external vocabularies. The project aimed to advance the use of linked data in libraries and provide a foundational dataset others could build upon. Key lessons learned included the challenges of converting legacy data and ensuring sustainability, as well as the benefits of gaining expertise from the linked data community and releasing imperfect data for feedback.

Jane Stevenson

The document provides an overview of how the LOCAH project is applying Linked Data concepts to expose archival and bibliographic data from the Archives Hub and Copac as Linked Open Data. It describes the process of (1) modeling the data as RDF triples, (2) transforming existing XML data to RDF, (3) enhancing the data by linking to external vocabularies and datasets, (4) loading the RDF into a triplestore, and (5) creating Linked Data views to expose the data on the web. The goal is to publish structured data that can be interconnected across domains to enable new uses by both humans and machines.

Crowdsourcing based curation and user engagement in digital library design

Rose Holley

Rose Holley, Special Collections Curator at UNSW Canberra discusses the findings of her research into crowdsourcing based curation. Using the digitised historic Australian Newspapers as an example, she looks at how the functionality and interface was developed in close relationship with the users, and how this led on to text correction of newspaper articles. It is nearly ten years since this pioneering project began and the motivations and achievements of the 50,000 volunteers are examined over this time. She questions how successfully the goal of improving text quality and therefore search has been achieved. She proposes that if a similar project was begun now then artificial intelligence software would be used such as OverProof post OCR correction tool to improve the quality of the text. OverProof has been trained on the manual corrections of the Australian newspaper corpus and trials demonstrate it is able to dramatically improve the quality of the corpus. Volunteer text correction could still continue afterwards for difficult text but the software would do the main donkey work, allowing users to have a better quality search.

Rose Holley

The document discusses improving access to content ("getting") through the Trove digital library catalogue. It outlines users' expectations of being able to access what they discover online and identifies areas where the current system falls short, such as broken links, lack of options to access physical or digital items, or confusion over how to access items. Suggestions are made to better identify options for accessing digital content, provide enrichment data like reviews and ratings, and implement remote access and document delivery services to fulfill users' expectations of a seamless "get it" experience through Trove.

Rose Holley

The document summarizes the digitization process of issues of The Australian Women's Weekly from 1933 to 1982 that were available in the Trove database. Over 400 issues were identified as missing from library collections, with most from 1933 to 1952. Issues also needed replacing due to damage. Efforts were made to locate missing copies, request public help, digitize images, perform OCR and article zoning in India, conduct quality assurance checks, and make the issues freely available online in Trove by topic including content, covers, literature, advertisements, fashion, and knitting patterns.
