This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.

Digital Infrastructures that Embody Library Principles: The IMLS national dig...Trevor Owens
Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.

Islandora Webinar: Highlighting CUHK Chinese Digital CollectionsErin Tripp
The webinar will feature a presentation and Q&A session with Jeff Liu, Digital Services Librarian and Louisa Lam, Head, Research Support and Digital Initiatives at the CUHK Library.
The CUHK Library has curated a collection of over five million digital objects in the past 20 years. It features Chinese literature, culture, arts, politics, society and religion. Until recently, the collection was stored in a broad range of different systems, complicating the discovery of these precious digital assets.
In 2015, librarians at CUHK embarked on a project to find a permanent, single platform for digital content. Objectives of the project included enhanced discoverability, multi-language support (Chinese, Japanese & Korean) and custom development capability to modify display and viewing features that would showcase Chinese literature in its true form.
Islandora met all the functional requirements and more, including support for digital humanities projects and access to a user-driven open source software community.
The CUHK library was also attracted to the vendor services and support available through discoverygarden. We provided advice, support and custom development assistance; contributing to the launch of the digital repository every step of the way.
The repository (http://repository.lib.cuhk.edu.hk) officially launched in February 2016, making the CUHK Library digital initiatives pioneers in Hong Kong.

Many Hands Makes Light Work: Collaborating on Moodle Services and DevelopmentJohn Whitmer, Ed.D.
Presentation by Kathy Fernandes, Andrew Roderick, and John Whitmer at the US West Coast MoodleMoot 2012 on August 2, 2012.
Learning Management Systems have evolved from faculty sandboxes to complex enterprise learning environments. Meanwhile, budgets have plummeted and the LMS market has been undergoing rapid change. Many campuses have moved to Moodle to help stabilize their business and application environments. An important criteria behind this transition for many campuses has been the ability to ‘control their own destiny’ and collaborate with colleagues.
In this presentation, we will discuss the experience of campuses in the California State University system collaborating on Moodle technical development, user services, and support. Among the 10 campuse currently using or in transition to Moodle, we have developed a shared governance model with separate groups to administer policy-related issues and technical / UI issues. We will discuss the creation of a Moodle Shared Code base that is being used by several campuses, and the current migration of SCB features into Moodle v2.0. Moodle techincal expertise is shared between campuses, and training resources have been leveraged across the CSU system. We will discuss the process and features that have led to successful (and not so successful) colllaborative activities, as well as the services that have been created.
A solid business case provides the foundation for implementing a successful shared services organization. This is the first session in an HR Shared Services learning series that ScottMadden presented in conjunction with SSON. In this session, we covered the elements of a good business case including examining current costs, projecting costs and savings based on your future design, and conducting sensitivity analysis to understand possible outcomes. This presentation provides detailed guidelines and lessons learned for developing a sound business case.

e-Governance is the ICT-enabled route to achieving good governance.
An e-library is a library in which collections are stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers. The digital content may be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer networks.
As a part of my regular academic activities under the course “Globalization and Governance (PA-322)”, I was assigned to plan for making department’s seminar an e-library .
This document contains an e-Library Manifesto which introduces the relevant ‘systems’. It describes the main concepts characterising these systems, i.e., content, user, functionality, quality, policy and architecture. It also describes the reference frameworks needed to clarify the e-Library Reference Architecture.
This e-library will meet the needs and passions of teachers and students and the learning styles of the latter of the department .

Web-scale Discovery Services are becoming an integral part of libraries' information gathering arsenal. These services are able to use a single interface to seamlessly integrate results from a wide range of online sources, emulating the experience patrons have come to expect from Internet search engines. But despite their ability to streamline searching, discovery services provide a wide set of challenges for libraries who implement them. This virtual conference will touch on both the potential of discovery services as well as some of the issues involved.

This project report deliberates the new activities, methods and technology used in digitization and formation of digital libraries. It set out some key points involved and the detailed plans required in the process, offers pieces of advice and guidance for the practicing Librarians and Information scientists. Digital Libraries are being created today for diverse communities and in different fields e.g. education, science, culture, development, health, governance and so on. With the availability of several free digital Library software packages at the recent time, the creation and sharing of information through the digital library collections has become an attractive and feasible proposition for library and information professionals around the world. The paper ends with a call to integrate digitization into the plans and policies of any institution to maximize its effectiveness.

Cloud web scale discovery services landscape an overviewNikesh Narayanan
Abstract
The impact of Internet and Google like search engines radically influenced the information behavior of Net Generation users. They expect same environment in library services such that all their required information make available in a single set of results through unified search across all the available resources. Libraries have been striving to respond to this challenge for years. Until recently, federated search technology of the past decade was the better attempt in this area to meet these user expectations. But federated search solution is marked by the drawbacks of its slowness as it searches each database on the fly. New Generation cloud based Library Web scale discovery technology is a promising entrant in this landscape. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery solutions such as its importance to Library field, their possible role as the starting point for research, content coverage, and finally analyses the competition at the discovery front by comparing the services of major players. The comparative analysis shows that all the major service providers are extending competitive features and services, but varies in some areas and the adoption choice depends on the concerned library’s preferences and the cost involved.

sers of Institutional Repositories and Digital Libraries are known by their needs for very specific information about one or more subjects. To characterize users profiles and offer them new documents and resources is one of the main challenges of today's libraries. In this paper, a Selective Dissemination of Information service is described, which proposes an Ontology-based Context Aware system for identifying user's context (research subjects, work team, areas of interest). This system enables librarians to broaden users profiles beyond the information that users have introduced by hand (such as institution, age and language). The system requires a context retrieval layer to capture user information and behavior, and an inference engine to support context inference from many information sources (selected documents and users' queries).

Caring for Digital Collections in the AnthropoceneTrevor Owens
The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.
Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation Lightning TalkTrevor Owens
I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.
Testing Our Assumptions: The Centrality of Design Thinking and Scholarship fo...Trevor Owens
Research libraries are vital infrastructure enabling the development and dissemination of knowledge. They are simultaneously essential to the function of institutions of learning and themselves institutions that must grow and learn. In this context, librarianship must involve dynamic and empirically driven applied research and testing to improve our knowledge ecosystem. This talk explores how developments in human centered design, systems thinking for social change, frameworks for collaborative applied research, and service design can inform a general approach to the role of librarians in research institutions. Collectively, these areas of work support a vision of librarians at research institutions as both enablers of knowledge production and producers of essential new knowledge and scholarship.

We Have Interesting Problems: Some Applied Grand Challenges from Digital Libr...Trevor Owens
Libraries, Archives and Museums now have massive digital
holdings. There is tremendous potential for library and
information science, computer science and computer engineering
researchers to partner with cultural heritage institutions and
make our digital cultural record more useful and usable. In
particular, there is a significant need to bridge basic research in
areas such as computer vision, crowdsourcing, natural language
processing, multilingual OCR, and machine learning to make this
work directly usable in the practices of cultural heritage
institutions. In this talk, I discuss a series of exemplar projects,
largely funded through the Institute of Museum and Library
Services National Digital Platform initiative, that illustrate some
key principles for building applied research partnerships with
cultural heritage institutions. Building on Ben Schniderman’s
The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough
Collaborations, I focus specifically on why the public purpose
and missions of cultural heritage institutions are particularly
valuable in establishing new kinds of collaborations that can
simultaneously advance basic research and the ability for people
of the world to engage with their cultural record.
Start Today: Digital Stewardship Communities & CollaborationsTrevor Owens
The increasingly digital records of our communities and our organizations require all of us to become digital stewardship and digital preservation practitioners. The challenge seems daunting but the good news is we don’t have to do it alone. A distributed network of practitioners and learners across the country are increasingly finding ways to learn together and share and pool their resources to tackle these challenges and provide enduring access to our digital heritage. Owens’ talk will provide examples of how archivists are rising to the challenge and practical guidance for both digital preservation beginners and experts.
Scientists’ Hard Drives, Databases, and Blogs: Preservation Intent and Source...Trevor Owens
Carl Sagan’s WordPerfect files, simulations emailed to Edward Lorenz, a database application from the National Library of Medicine, a collection of science blogs, a database of interstellar distances; each of these digital artifacts have been acquired by archives and special collections. Born digital primary sources are no longer a future concern for archivists, librarians, curators and historians. As historians of science turn their attention to the late 20th and early 21st century, they will need to work from these born-digital primary sources. We have already accumulated a significant born digital past and it’s time for work with born digital primary sources to become mainstream. This presentation will give a quick tour of individual born digital artifacts toward two goals. First, I argue for the need for archivists, curators and librarians to reflexively develop approaches to establishing preservation intent for digital content grounded in a dialog with the nature of a given set of digital objects and it’s future research use. Second, for historians, I suggest how trends in computational analysis of information in the digital humanities should be combined with approaches from digital forensics and new media studies to establish historiographic practices for born-digital source criticism. I conclude by suggesting the kinds of technical skills archivists, librarians, curators and historians working with these materials are going to need to develop. Just as historians working with premodern documents require language and paleography skills, historians working with digital artefacts will increasingly need to understand the inscription processes of hard drives, the provenance created by web crawlers, and how to read relational databases of varying vintages.
Platform Thinking: Frameworks for a National Digital Platform State of MindTrevor Owens
Talk presented as a closing keynote to the Biodiversity Heritage Library's National Digital Stewardship Residency program meeting at the National Museum of Natural History. This talk reviews the National Digital Platform framework developed by US IMLS in collaboration with various library, archives and museum stakeholders and presents a series of additional conceptual frameworks on the role of software in society and psychology.
People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the WebTrevor Owens
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Digital Preservation's Role in the Future of the Digital HumanitiesTrevor Owens
Slides from an invited presentation I gave to the University of Pittsburgh's iSchool.
"Ensuring long term access to digital information sounds like a technical problem. It seems like digital preservation should be a computer science problem. Far from it. In this lecture Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress argues that digital preservation is in fact a core problem and issue at the heart of the future of the digital humanities. Bringing together perspectives from the history of technology, new media studies, public history, and archival theory, he suggests the critical role that humanities scholars and practitioners should play in framing and shaping the collection, organization, description, and modes of access to the historically contingent digital material records of contemporary society."
