- 8. Question 1 Barnaby is an amateur photographer. He has uploaded his photos to the web. He is happy for people to download and use his photos with proper acknowledgement, but does not want people to modify them in any way or use them for commercial purposes. Which of the following Creative Commons licenses should he apply to his photos? Correct. This Creative Commons licence allows others to a) download your works and share them with others as long as they acknowledge you and link back to your original work, but they can’t change your work in any way or use them commercially. Barnaby should apply this Creative Commons licence to his work. Incorrect. This licence lets others remix or edit the work even for commercial purposes. If Barnaby does not want b) others to modify his work or use it for commercial purposes, he should not apply this CC licence.

Editor's Notes
- Coverage + Pacific culture and world’s longest poem.
- Academic Integritybackground: www.academicintegrity.auckland.ac.nzProject background and purpose The University has taken several initiatives over several years to promote, support and monitor academic integrity, including: • Revision of the Guidelines: Conduct of Coursework, which contains advice for students and teaching staff about ways of avoiding academic dishonesty. • Clarification of appropriate use of third party help in Use of Third Party Assistance in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework: Guidelines for Students. • Redevelopment of the Referencitewebsite to assist students with referencing practice. • Publication of the brochure Academic Honesty, Cheating and Plagiarism for students. • Making Turnitin.com available to academic staff as a screening device for electronic plagiarism. • Implementation in 2009 of the Register of Deliberate Academic Misconduct, to record coursework misconduct cases centrally and enable reporting on trends. The 2009 academic audit report ‘encourages the University to do more on the educative front, to educate students about being honest in academic endeavor’ The course is a Teaching and Learning Quality Committee initiative. TLQC consulted with Faculties in 2010 and all Faculties signalled their support. The University Library was granted a VC’s University Strategic Development Fund at the end of July 2011 to develop the Academic Integrity course. The course modules and questions were developed by the Library’s Learning Services project team in collaboration with TLQC, Faculty, CAD and the Examination Office. The University of Auckland plans to introduce the Academic Integrity Course as a requirement for all undergraduate and postgraduate students admitted, for the first time, to a programme at the University. 90 people involved in project from SMEs to usability experts, legal advisors, learning designers, film crew, graphic designers, and library project team from learning Services.

- The Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) is a New Zealandtertiary education funding process, assessing the research performance of tertiary education organisations (TEOs) and then funding them on the basis of their performance.. Performance Based Research Fund, administered by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC)TEC evaluates the research quality of TEO staff based on peer reviewThis quality evaluation comprises 60% of the funding formula 70 million per year, or 8% of the overall University budget1800+ academics creating Evidence PortfoliosUp to 34 publications and creative worksThe 4 best are called Nominated Research Outputs (NROs)Up to 30 Peer Esteem outputs (PE)Up to 30 contributions to the research environment outputs (CREs)All have to be entered in the Research Outputs module before they can be selected for an EPEach academic staff member is required to submit an Evidence Portfolio which records their research outputs, contribution to research environment, and peer esteem. Library involved 4 ways- Selection of systems- Integration of workflows- Verification of outputs- submission to TEC
- We wanted to take advantage of data sourced from reliable sources, hook into the institutional systems containing data about our people and ensure that data quality was addressed at source. The repository is no longer a primary source of data, instead it is downstream from all other systems. Data about people, employment, and groups flows in from Human Resources into the research management system. Information about publications is then added. Finally this passes to the repository, and off into national and international aggregators and search engines. This follows principles of good data management: everything flows one-way
- Research Outputs used to record and manage Publications, Creative Works and Professional Activities like Peer Esteem (PE) and Contributions to the Research Environment (CRE). Research Outputs uses the Symplectic Elements software.Research Outputs enables creation of an Academic CV and Academic Performance Review (APR). The new University Staff Directory will create researcher profile pages with Research Outputs data.the Symplectic system integrates with large bibliographic databases such as Thomson’s Web of Science, or Scopus. These systems are periodically searched, and when they identify something that is likely written by one of our users, it sends them an email asking them to confirm or decline this with nothing more than a single click. The software also allows users to import items in a wide variety of formats such as EndNote or BibTeX. At the same time, many database providers allow data to be exported in these formats. A good example is our library catalogue: we created a new export option, ‘export to Research Outputs’ allowing an author to find all their books, and export them ready for import
- Background…Research Outputs - Verification Question and Answer Last updated 26/4/2012 Why do Research Outputs need verifying? Verification activities support the University’s overall objectives in relation to maintaining quality research outputs information, as well as meeting verification requirements for the 2012 PBRF Quality Evaluation round. In due course the Staff Directory researcher profiles will also use publication data from Research Outputs. Who verifies my Research Outputs items? The work is undertaken by specialist metadata librarians from the Cataloguing team at The University Library who access and update records as required. What do the verifiers do? 1. The focus is on ensuring citation details are correct, with minimal intervention to your records. This is usually in the form of corrections and addition of missing details. 2. Records sourced from external databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ArXiv and DBLP are verified automatically. 3. Your search setting may be enriched to ensure that records from external sources are included in your profile; this helps to maximize search results and minimize the need for manual data entry of records. How many publications have been verified? There are approximately150,000 creative works and publications generated by University of Auckland staff. Priority is given to those items selected for 2012 PBRF Evidence Portfolios and there is ongoing work to complete these 42,000 items.
- A new opportunity - Research repository & publications management system Feasible to start a research repository without institutional buy-in but not feasible to be successful in populating that repository without institutional buy-in. The key to success is finding the institutional driver so the Library isn’t swimming against the tide. For us it was the opportunity to integrate the work we had done with digital theses in the research repository and leverage that success into the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) project. Clear we also needed to establish and manage an associated research publications management system if the University was to gain long-term strategic value from creating the content for the PBRF, ie a system that could be used to deliver researcher web pages, grow citations through tuning of , etc.
- Means ALL selected UoA research outputs can be easilty retrieved and assessed by TEC.Alsoa well populated system of clean data, data analysis gets much easier. Using a good system will provide data that is well managed, well linked, de-duplicated, and clean. This gives us wonderful scaffolding to create new reports and institutional knowledge of our research.
- “Our Research Repository has a goal of delivering open access material to promote our research. The public can come and freely browse and download the majority of our excellent academic outputs. Or that’s the theory anyway! However many people don’t know what our repositories are, where they are, or what they can do with them. We know that our users struggled with deposit processes, misunderstood copyright, and “open access” was a minefield. We’ve changed the face of our repository by completely removing our normal repository deposit system. Got rid of it. Gone. No confusing terminology about repositories. There’s even integration with the SHERPA RoMEO data service to bring the publisher’s open access policy details right into the research management system, informing the user what they can and can’t upload. The face of the repository to our users has changed. Deposits are already up significantly, and we’ve not yet started on our marketing of this feature.”
- Rather than just counting beans - such as how many journal articles has department X published this year, we can perform much more in-depth analysis such as who is collaborating with who, who isn’t collaborating but should be, how our internal vs. external collaborations are changing over time, comparing new and emerging researchers with seasoned academics to help them see where they need to grow and improve. The data can be used to influence what we do in the future, not just report on what we’ve done in the past.
- some possibilities. From what is starting as a simple publications management system , we can enable many new things. Some of these things are pretty normal, but powered in a new way. Automatically updated rich staff profiles with links to publications in the repository. And there are others. Empowered researchers able to analyse their past publication performance history and plan their future. Enable academics to more easily locate new collaborators, and work more effectively. We already have some academic publishers who are able and willing to push publications directly into our repositories, and more are starting to look into this option. Our users are being asked to do less, get more in return, with input being reduced very often to clicking on ticks or crosses. Linked data stores where this richly linked data about publications, funding, people and places is all bought together for re-use. Open identifiers for everything. See the examples of the Open University and The University of Southampton in the UK for how this can work. We’re working from humble beginnings, the research management system. But this holds details of one of our most valuable assets - the research outputs we create.
- Prior to the implementation of the new system, the library had no input in the way in research outputs were recorded and managed within the university. The skillset within the library is an ideal match but was not getting used. Getting involved with this new system has allowed the library to re-establish itself as a central component in the research management activities of the university. This move has also enabled our subject librarians to start offering new specialist or enhanced research support services to the academics. The subject librarians have been a key component of the rollout and training strategy, being the subject-specific experts for different disciplines. The library has also formed a new Research Support Services team to help coordinate this work.Focus on reassigning staff ahead of being asked to do so and apply those funds to new services – for us the focus is now on bibliometrics.
- Digital RepatriationThe Archive of Maori and Pacific Music - houses the world’s largest ethnographic sound collection relating to the Pacific. Established in 1970 to promote research into the music of the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori, and those of the people of the Pacific Islands, its holdings today include material from most tribal groups of New Zealand and most Pacific Islands areas, commercial and field recordings of vocal and instrumental music, oral histories, stories and language resources.- training audio archivists from Pacific countries- storing for indigineous peoples with access agreements- provide copies to individuals and groups from those cultures, and Maori iwi, or hapu- keep safe as guardiansAotearoa - New ZealandProvided digital recordings for inclusion in the re-publication of four volumes of NgāMoteatea, the primary authoritative collection of Māori song texts. Provided digital recordings for distribution by NgātiRaukawa tribal authority.Provided digital recordings for distribution by NgātiTūwharetoa Trust tribal authority.Provided digital recordings for distribution by Te Rarawa tribal authority.SamoaTrained a Radio 2AP Samoa technician in digitising at risk open-reel recordings.Provided digital replacements, where possible, of recordings destroyed by cyclones in Samoa.Provided facilities for the transfer of obsolete analogue media by a Televise Samoa technician.TongaTrained a Radio A3Z Tonga technician in digitising at risk open-reel recordings.Provided replacements, where possible, of recordings which were lost.TokelauProvided digitised copies of the Huntsman collection of songs and stories for distribution by the Tokelau Department of Education.NiueProvided digital replacements, where possible, of recordings destroyed by cyclone.Papua New GuineaTrained a technician from the archive of the Institute of Papua New Guinea Studies in the digitisation of at risk recordings.Provided open-reel and disc playback equipment, computer equipment and software for digitisation.Solomon IslandsProvided safe storage and digital copies of analogue recordings threatened by social unrest.PolynesiaIn 1994, a series of six one-hour TV programmes was screened entitled TagataTangata, and devoted to contemporary views of Pacific history and social issues. The film crew visited Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Tahiti, Niue, Hawaii and Easter Island, as well as several locations within Aotearoa itself. The Archive reconstituted all of the rushes and has authority to make DVD copies available for non-commercial use.NoteThe majority of this work was funded by the Pacific Development and Conservation Trust, Department of Internal Affairs, NZ and the Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs, NZ.
- Pacific Development and Conservation Fund to assist Tuvalu media in the digitalisation of the reel-to-reel tapes. The procedure we outlined in the application was the following: (1) We would pay to bring a Tuvalu Media technician to the University to Auckland to work with Nigel. (2) The technician would bring as many of the tapes as possible to Auckland, we would buy the equipment necessary to complete the task, train the technician and send the equipment back to Tuvalu, at which time it would become your property and the remainder of the tapes could be digitalised in Funafuti.laboration with NICAI to the Pacific Development & Conservation Trust to fund a project to digitise historic recordings held by Tuvalu Media Department
- The process and the staff
- Nzepc since 2001 a collaboration of Library, English Dept, AUP etcMichele – former poet laureateWebsite redesign
- Demo the Apple Voice Over with nzepc site.Accessibility – always for website, but challenge for Library now is now in building local digital collections with a blind collaborator. Focus shift from text to media. Not sure much because of delivery but editing, proofing etc
- As example look at Trans tasman Symposium on long poems (also title for this presentation)
- From text to audio and video. Recording events, symposia, readings, lectures with audio and video Streaming servers etc
- A group of 20 poets and scholarsfrom NZ, Australia, Hawaii, Hong Kong inclvisiting American poet Rachel Blau DuPlessis created an “event” collaborative poetry writ large on Oneroa (trans. Long Beach). Captured as audio, slides…
