The Missing Link: Metadata Conversion Workflows for EveryoneAndrea Payant
This document describes workflows developed by Utah State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to streamline metadata creation between special collections and digital initiatives departments. The workflows allow for converting finding aid information into Dublin Core for uploading item records to a digital repository, and batch linking digitized content to finding aids. The processes are designed to be taught easily and performed by various staff levels to automate metadata work and make it more flexible.
Academic libraries play an important role in supporting research in three key areas:
1. They facilitate literature searches through discovery services, subject databases, and remote access to subscribed resources. They also guide researchers on open access publishing and predatory journals.
2. They provide information literacy instruction and reference services to help researchers effectively find and evaluate information.
3. They assist researchers in managing their research profiles and outputs to increase visibility and track citations. This includes guidance on ORCID, Google Scholar, and Scopus profiles as well as publishing and citation metrics.
This presentation talks about problems related to big data clean up. It discusses various approaches at the University of Auckland Libraries and Learning services and gives two projects as examples.
Role of libraries in research and scholarly communicationNikesh Narayanan
Libraries play an important role in supporting research through facilitating literature searches, providing information literacy and reference services, and guiding researchers in publishing and managing their research profiles. Libraries can help researchers efficiently search across disjointed information sources through federated search software or web-scale discovery tools which provide a single search interface. Libraries also help connect researchers to open access resources and guide them on where and how to publish their research findings.

Crowdsourcing the Maintenance of E-Resource Metadata: How WorldCat Knowledge ...Charleston Conference
This document discusses OCLC's WorldCat knowledge base and its Cooperative Management Initiative to improve metadata quality. It notes that the knowledge base contains metadata on electronic resources from over 5,800 providers. Through the Initiative, member libraries can approve/deny provider changes and add/update their own records. While cooperative management has increased transparency and prevented bad data, challenges include inconsistent participation, a lack of change protection, and the need for clearer guidelines. The document calls for balancing provider and community contributions to better leverage crowdsourcing for metadata maintenance.
This document summarizes a training on the free and open source software Koha for libraries. It discusses what Koha is as an integrated library system, its features and benefits.

and maintaining the resource after a
discovery service is implemented
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 document summarizes a workshop on open science and open data for librarians. The workshop covered introducing open science and open data, how data can inform the library profession and support research, tools and applications for working with data, and developing a data strategy for libraries. It discussed stakeholders in research data, why librarians are important data partners, the role of librarians in advocating for open data and managing repositories. The workshop also covered data skills needed by librarians and introducing trusted data repositories.
The document discusses three options for libraries to adopt linked data: BIBFRAME 2.0, Schema.org, and Linky MARC. BIBFRAME 2.0 is a library standard that allows standardized RDF interchange but is not recognized outside libraries. Schema.org is the de facto web standard that improves discovery on the web but lacks detail for library needs. Linky MARC adds URIs to MARC without changing its format. The document evaluates the pros and cons of each and who may want to adopt each standard.
This document summarizes how libraries use publisher-provided metadata to provide access to content. It describes how metadata is used in the library catalog, link resolvers, and discovery systems. Publisher metadata must be accurate and distributed to various library systems and standards to effectively support discovery and access for users.
Making the Big Move: Moving to Cloud-Based OCLC’s WorldShare Management Servi...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.

Presented by Declan Fleming, Chief Technology Strategist, Arwen Hutt, Metadata Librarian & Matt Critchlow, Manager of Development and Web ServicesUC, San Diego Library.
What does success look like when it comes to library discoverability? Index based discovery systems have seen a dramatic rate of adoption since introduction to the research ecosystem in 2009, with more than 9,000 libraries relying on a discovery system to provide users with a comprehensive index to their offerings. Some issues bar the way to providing this comprehensive view, but many challenges have been overcome through collaboration between libraries, content providers and discovery partners. The NISO ODI initiative began to examine these issues in 2011, and released a best practice in June 2014.
Speakers will highlight examples of successful collaboration, note continued areas of challenge, and provide insight on how the Open Discovery Initiative Conformance Checklists can be used as a mechanism to evaluate content provider or discovery provider conformance with the best practice.

HIBERLINK: Reference Rot and Linked Data: Threat and RemedyPRELIDA Project
This document discusses reference rot in linked data and proposes remedies. It defines reference rot as occurring when links to web resources no longer point to the original content. Empirical evidence from analyses of journal articles and e-theses shows that over one third of references experience rot. Proposed remedies include a Hiberlink plug-in to enable proactive archiving, augmenting links with temporal context using the Missing Link approach, and a HiberActive system for repositories to actively archive references. The goal is to increase the chances of accessing referenced content over time by embedding archiving solutions into existing authoring and publishing workflows.
Federated to Library Service Platforms
Nikesh Narayanan discusses the transition from individual library databases to integrated search platforms. He covers why integrated search is important, options like federated search and web-scale discovery, parameters for evaluating these systems, and recent advances like linked data and integration with knowledge graphs. Library service platforms are emerging as all-in-one solutions that manage collections, discovery, resource management and more. Major commercial providers and the open source FOLIO project are outlined.

The Selection Between An Open Source And Vended Software in Libraries:Oppor...Hong (Jenny) Jing
This document discusses the opportunities and risks of selecting open source software versus vended software for libraries. It covers topics like project management, functional requirements, and evaluating different options. Open source software provides benefits like customization and cost savings but also risks around support, documentation, and reliability. Vended products offer stability, support, and standardization at a higher cost with less flexibility. The document provides examples of open source and vended software options for different library systems and suggests steps for evaluating and selecting the ideal solution based on a library's unique needs and resources.
The Impact of Linked Data in Digital Curation and Application to the Catalogu...Hong (Jenny) Jing
(Full version of the presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS9Svbmp-YY)
Information organization and systems in libraries are in a state of significant flux. In systems there is a shift to XML and RDF-based schemas and ontologies while resource description content standards have changed from AACR2 to RDA. A move from MARC to BIBFRAME and other linked data applications is on the horizon. Linked data and the semantic web have become buzzwords, but what is linked data and why it is important for librarians? How can we use it in digital curation? What can libraries do now to “prepare” for this change in their current practice?
In light of these questions, the panel presentation will discuss two projects. First, there will be coverage of a sample project using the Fedora-based open source framework, Islandora to demonstrate the concepts of connecting related data across the Web with URIs, HTTP and RDF. The second half of the presentation will describe how a consortia has taken a holistic approach to writing an RDA workflow to help front-line cataloguers develop a wider perspective when it comes to resource description (creating more structured, future compatible metadata). Up for discussion: the current state and future possibilities of library metadata with a focus on the implications of linked data.
Strategic Developments in Digital Initiatives at Academic LibrariesHong (Jenny) Jing
The document discusses three critical strategic developments for academic libraries to focus on regarding digital initiatives:
1. Focus digital initiatives on collaborating with stakeholders to develop new user services.
2. Use multiple systems and adopt new technologies like linked data and Fedora 4 for digital assets and institutional repositories.
3. Work with partners through consortia to share costs, expertise, and enhance standards and cooperation. The document provides examples of current technologies, systems, and consortia collaborations to illustrate these strategic developments.

Implementing an Open Source IT Ticketing System at Queen's University LibraryHong (Jenny) Jing
For many years, Queen’s University Library has used an internally designed ticketing system for handling all technical requests sent by library staff. In the summer of 2014, we started moving to a more formal system for tracking, delegating, and resolving reported issues. This presenation will walk through the group’s evaluation process, the lessons we learned, as well as customizations and modifications made to our open-source choice, which will serve as an IT ticketing system, an inventory list and an internal knowledge base.
This document summarizes a presentation on using linked data with the digital asset management system Islandora. It discusses how linked data can help with issues like web traffic, data reuse, authority control and faster record editing. Examples are given of using linked data in Islandora, including adding RDF to objects and querying the data. Case studies of specific implementations at institutions like Delft University of Technology are also covered. The presentation concludes by discussing potential next steps and how linked data relates to library services more broadly.
ALA 2014--Adding copyright/license information to different library systems Hong (Jenny) Jing
Recent changes to Canada’s Copyright Act have propelled copyright and licensed use into the spotlight at Colleges and Universities in Canada. Ensuring that comprehensive information on licensing permissions is displayed to our users is an urgent task. This session will look at how Queen’s University carried out a project to add the license information to to different library systems.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

Managing Mappings Dilemma
• How do we manage mappings?
– Excel file/database to map databases->licenses
– Manually/programmatically enter license URLs in various
ERMs, Catalogs, OpenURL Menus, etc.
– Not easy to share
– Still very tedious
56. 57
Potential Solution
• UofT created mapping tool
• SP imported it into OUR
• For Serial Solutions, Catalogs, etc.
• Import Active DBs into OUR regularly and create mappings to licenses
• Use APIs to query OUR for license information directly from platform
• For SFX
– Active targets appear in real-time in OUR
– Create Mappings
– Automated process pushes out info into SFX note field
At OCUL we started to Investigate options to store and display our license information
CURRENT SYSTEMS:
VERDE –
ERM tool with a licensing component, not everyone was using it, Cumbersome, Difficult to use, Costs Money, Steep learning curve
HOMEGROWN
Needed development time, Not easy to share, Only feasible for larger universities
None of these options met the needs of the consortia WHICH WERE
Can Mondo be repurposed and further developed to fit the needs of OCUL?
We decided to give it a shot and develop requested features in house
Librarians Provided initial feedback on wish list of features
But the number one requested feature was for consortial licenses. So we re-wrote the application to support consortial instances that pushed out data to it’s members.
MAKE IT OURS, literally and acronymically. We called Online Usage Rights (OUR).
Here’s the model we used for license sharing:
CRKN staff enter CRKN negotiated licenses into OUR.
We enter licensing information once and that information would get propagated to appropriate Child instances?
In this example any licenses that CRKN staff create will automatically propagate to any schools with an instance in SP OUR.
Each consortia also has their own instance
These licenses appear as “READ ONLY” Licenses, schools cannot edit them. They can choose to activate/deactivate them.
A hot enhancement request was SFX integration. So we created an “SFX” view and called it from within an iframe that we embedded in an SFX targets’ note field
But the whole idea of creating these licenses was to be able to display them at the time of consumption. At SP, we started displaying OUR usage rights on our E-journals Platform (using the OUR API).
“one of these things is not like the others” How did I wind up in a presentation with a bunch of Systems people?
December 31st, 2013 marked the end of UofT and Western’s agreement with Access Copyright, and the launch of copyright@Western.
As Western stepped away from the Access copright deal, the university outlined three goals to help the Western community make informed decisions when using the published work of others in research and teaching:
Education
Information resources
Services
Harriet Rykse and I were responsible for leading the project and we received special funding to hire two Library Assistants on contract, May Dew-ong and Amberley Zavitz - they have been very valuable in the process - May has a legal assistant background and Amberley, an archival description background so together they’ve made an excellent team.
We also relied on support from our ITS department, the library’s customer service committee and the university’s copyright advisor, Tom Adam.
This is part of one of the first decision maps we developed for the whole project. As you can see, the process is quite complicated and labour intensive.
OUR Database was ready and waiting for us to implement, people were talking about this issue on listservs
Right before our two contract library asistants were set to start, we attended the OUCL workshop – “Thinking OCUL-y: Licensing and Collections Symposium” held at the university of toronto - by the end of the day, walking to catch our train home, Harriet and I had totally changed our plan for how the work would get done! Many thanks to Jen Robertson At UofT for sharing some of her processes loading licenses! :)

In recent years, library collections shift from print version to e-resources, which means library ACQ changed from purchasing materials to license materials. It’s important for us to add the license information to library systems.
In the summer of 2013, we migrated our OpenURL Link Resolver from SFX to 360 Link. We managed to add the license lnfo. to our 360 Link result page August 2013.
In this session I will show you the following things:
First, let me explain how we made the license database.
- Scholars Portal is a service of the Ontario Council of University Libraries. It provides a shared technology infrastructure and shared collections for all 21 university libraries in the province.
One of SP’s service is to provide each member an instance of the OCUL Usage Rights (OUR) Database. Which we created with SP and they maintain for us.
I will show you what it looks like on the users’ end of the OUR DB in the next slide.
Then I will go over each library system which we added the license link and the issues/lessons we’ve learned.
This is the users’ interface of the Queen’s Library’s OUR DB. There are about 600 license pages for our e-resources.
The users can search and find the terms of use for each resource. And here is an example what the license page looks like.
The db names are called differently between SP and 360Link, first we need to match them in an internal db.
We also need to normalize the names and match them to make an internal database, which contains the names from the two resources and with the URLs of the license pages.
Here is what it looks like.
We have the SP’s OUR DB, and we have the 360 Link databases from our vendor ProQuest. The database names in these two resources are different.
In order to assign the license page links to the resources in 360Link, we need to match the titles in these two places and add the url of the license links to 360 Link dbs
We learned from University of British Columbia that we can add the license url manually in SS’s Client web site. Thanks to UBC. But we have about 2000 records so that we tried another approach.
The time frame for adding the license info to 360link (May to July)
After we talked to Western University about this project, we learned that they added the license links to their OPAC. So we tried to add it to our Voyager. Here is the Voyager Skin’s file structure and some of the config files we need to learn and modify in order to edit the Voyager skin.

End goal is to deliver this info to users at time of consumption
We have to Manually/programmatically enter license URLs in various ERMs, Catalogs, OpenURL Menus, etc.
Because we host SFX, we have access to the database and so we can do a lot of cool things.
Use APIs to access this data…
