Pritchard and symon reviewing sites and revisiting sights bam nov 2011Katrina Pritchard
This document summarizes a workshop on sharing methodological challenges in research. It discusses the challenges faced in a year-long ethnographic study of HR professionals at an investment bank, including issues around the researcher's presence, places of access, and managing expectations during preliminary fieldwork. It also describes the use of tracer studies and mental mapping techniques to better understand organizational processes. The workshop aimed to discuss challenges in supervision and reflection on research practices in context.
Virtual embedding of library resources and services has evolved from physical embedding within institutions to virtual embedding within online environments used by patrons. A review found libraries have embedded resources like reading lists and link resolvers within course management systems and department websites. Services like reference and interlibrary loan have been provided via email, phone and chat. Moving forward, the review suggests embedding more library services directly within electronic medical records, mobile apps, internal networks and databases through tools like buttons and search filters to reach patrons virtually. The future may include librarians embedded using communication tools like Twitter, Facebook and instant messaging to help patrons within their own online spaces.
(1) Nottingham Trent University implemented the Talis Aspire document digitization system called TADC to improve its digitization workflow and access to digitized materials. (2) The previous digitization process had become fragmented and caused delays, so TADC was piloted to provide a single, seamless workflow. (3) Initial results found that TADC allowed for easier requests, validation of materials, and access directly through the university's resource list system.
Building video infrastructure for eCampusIngrid Melve
This document discusses building video infrastructure to support education at a university campus. It identifies needs such as collaboration tools that allow for audio and video communication, automated lecture capture, and 24/7 video availability. It also outlines various video types, functionality requirements, existing technologies, dependencies, and missing elements to consider in developing a video solution. The goal is to empower education through video while balancing simplicity and complexity from an individual, institutional, and international perspective.
The document discusses trends driving bring your own computing (BYOC) in organizations, including the rise of multi-device usage, different work habits across generations, and increased mobile working. It proposes embracing BYOC through a formal program that provides employees stipends to purchase their own devices while maintaining security, manageability, and compliance through the delivery of all applications and data from the corporate datacenter using Citrix technologies. The program aims to simplify IT management, increase productivity and flexibility, while reducing costs.
Teleworking has become more common as organizations aim to reduce costs and support remote work. However, teleworking presents challenges including distance from colleagues, disconnect from in-person discussions, and fatigue from relying solely on audio connections. Recent advances in video technology have helped solve issues by allowing teleworkers to have face-to-face interactions over HD video and improved audio, creating a more engaging experience.

Managing relationships with vendors on development projects requires careful planning and ongoing management. Key aspects include selecting the right vendor fit, establishing clear expectations through contracts, and defining roles, responsibilities and processes up front. Cultural differences between libraries and vendors regarding priorities, tools and work practices can lead to challenges and need to be addressed. Regular communication through meetings and status updates helps facilitate collaboration and resolve issues that arise. Learning from each other can strengthen outcomes, but misaligned expectations or lack of coordination can still cause problems.

Data Management for Librarians: An IntroductionGarethKnight
The document provides an introduction to data management for librarians, outlining key concepts such as the research data lifecycle, challenges in managing digital data over time, best practices for organizing, documenting, and storing data, and resources for data management support. Common problems include difficulty locating, accessing, and understanding data in the long run without proper planning and preservation strategies. The role of librarians is to educate researchers on best practices and provide support and training resources.
Oakton Technology Consulting implemented SharePoint 2010 to create a social intranet called Ozone to improve knowledge sharing, collaboration, and communication across its distributed workforce. Usage metrics showed improved employee satisfaction and retention as well as higher quality proposals through easier access to institutional knowledge. The system integrated with other systems and provided various collaboration and communication features to connect employees in different teams.
This document summarizes the key points in a discussion about web-scale discovery tools. It notes that integrated library systems are no longer fully integrated and libraries manage digital materials separately from print in inefficient workflows. It also notes that 0% of users start on a library website so discovery needs to be available elsewhere. Fulfillment of requests is as important as discovery. While some argue broad searches are unnecessary or that aggregated indexes are opaque, the document counters that discovery is only as good as its coverage and users generally do not care about the details of the search mechanisms as long as they are easy to use.
1. The document discusses the challenges of widespread adoption of e-research technologies by everyday researchers. While early adopters found success, most researchers are not using the infrastructure services that have been created.
2. It argues that repositories and other e-research tools need to focus on the needs and perspectives of researchers. Researchers work with data, so tools should emphasize data sharing and metadata. They should also support collaboration and open participation in the scientific process.
3. For technologies to truly enable new forms of research, their use needs to become integrated into the everyday work of all researchers, not just a specialized few. Systems must be easy to use, empower researchers' autonomy, and intersect seamlessly with digital and physical
1. The document discusses the challenges of adopting e-research technologies by everyday researchers and moving from specialized scientists doing specialized science to widespread adoption.
2. It proposes a more data-centric and collaborative approach focused on the social process of science and empowering researchers.
3. Key lessons for repositories include understanding user needs, being open-minded about problems and solutions, embracing the web instead of creating barriers, and thinking of repositories as a cloud service instead of an institutional system.
The document discusses using mobile learning technologies for communication, assessment, and content delivery in a blended learning environment. It outlines using Moodle and Mahara as hubs for resources, project work, and reflections. The agenda covers creating interactive PowerPoints, adding audio/video, animations, and exporting them as mobile-friendly resources, with time allocated for defining projects in small groups.
This document introduces SharePoint 2010 for document compliance, management and automation. It provides an overview of Netwoven, a company that provides SharePoint services and custom development. It describes the key solution areas Netwoven addresses including SharePoint upgrades, portal development, and business intelligence. It also covers business needs for document management and the components required for compliance, management and automation like storage, security and search. Finally, it outlines scenarios for using SharePoint and its key document management features.
This document discusses project management tools and resources on the web. It summarizes five useful websites: PMI.org which contains career resources, standards, white papers, and information on virtual communities; Gantthead.com which provides project templates; RMC Project Management which offers templates and FAQs; Project Connection which is an intuitive site for templates; and IIBA.org which is relevant for business analysis professionals. It emphasizes that information on the web can be difficult to find and stresses the importance of keywords, scanable resumes, and communicating effectively online.
This document discusses research objects as a framework for facilitating the exchange and reuse of digital knowledge. Research objects are defined as semantically rich aggregations of resources that support a research objective. They allow for workflows, data, documents and other resources to be bundled together and shared. The document outlines several motivating projects, challenges in developing research object models and vocabularies, and a vision for how research objects could allow research to be more efficient, effective and ethical through increased reuse of digital knowledge.
The digital universe is booming, especially metadata and user-generated data. This raises strong challenges in order to identify the relevant portions of data which are relevant for a particular problem and to deal with the lifecycle of data. Finer grain problems include data evolution and the potential impact of change in the applications relying on the data, causing decay. The management of scientific data is especially sensitive to this. We present the Research Objects concept as the means to indentify and structure relevant data in scientific domains, addressing data as first-class citizens. We also identify and formally represent the main reasons for decay in this domain and propose methods and tools for their diagnosis and repair, based on provenance information. Finally, we discuss on the application of these concepts to the broader domain of the Web of Data: Data with a Purpose.
This document discusses using technology and blended learning approaches to conduct assessments. It provides examples of how online tools like quizzes, e-portfolios, simulations, and mobile devices can be used to gather assessment evidence. It also discusses using learning management systems to record outcomes and monitor learner progress. The document provides examples of online activities that can be used for assessment purposes, such as logs, wikis, blogs, and web conferencing. It emphasizes using a blended approach that combines both online and face-to-face delivery.
Exploring perspectives in digital library evaluationGiannis Tsakonas
Digital library evaluation involves assessing the value of a digital library system or its operations. It is important to clearly define the scope and goals of the evaluation. Key questions to address include why is the evaluation being conducted, what aspects are being evaluated, who are the agents involved in the evaluation, and how will the evaluation be carried out. Common methods include both qualitative approaches like interviews and surveys, as well as quantitative methods like usage analysis and comparison studies. Careful planning is required to identify resources, personnel, tools, and timeline. The outcomes of an evaluation can include meaningful findings to improve the digital library as well as inconsistent or inapplicable results.
Making Your Classes, Sing, Dance, Talk, and Talk Back!Russ Meade
This document discusses ways to make online classes more engaging through the use of multimedia tools. It provides examples of synchronous and asynchronous teaching modes as well as blended approaches. Specific tools are presented for incorporating interaction and collaboration, such as blogs, wikis, podcasting, video blogging, and virtual worlds. The document encourages using meaningful technology that students can easily comprehend and the best available multimedia. The goal is to make online classes more dynamic, personalized, and replicate the face-to-face experience as much as possible.

7. How do we
If you can't describe what
communicate? you are doing as a process,
you don't know what
• Surprisingly difficult to you're doing.
W. Edwards Deming
explain what a process
involves
• Much of the detail is
assumed to be understood
and not explicitly discussed Growing need for the
global (virtual)
• This is where the mis-
equivalent of the
understandings usually “Tea Room”
arise.
14. Open Notebooks
• Troves can be open Read/Comment/Write
– Can control this access so it is your choice
• All contributions attributable (login needed)
– Anonymous contributions not usually enabled
• Open contribution does worry the IT services
– Provides potential pathway for abuse of systems
– Not just our systems
15. Global open scientific notebook
infrastructure
• Global collaboration:
– International
– Interdisciplinary
• Open science
• To ascend the knowledge pyramid, we need
open collaboration and sharing of results
16. We must speed up the knowledge discovery process
All I am saying is that now is the time to
develop the technology to deflect an asteroid
Editor's Notes
Talk will discuss applications of work originated in Southampton on development of electronic laboratory notebooks to support collaborative investigations and illustrated by work undertaken at Southampton, the ISIS neutron facility (Neylon) and University of Sydney (Todd). Work comes out of the e-Science funding (CombeChem Project) from the UK RCUK (Research Councils UK) [e-Science maps to Cyber-Infrastructure in the USA] further developed by funding from the Universities Modernization Fund, collaborative R&D between chemistry, computer science and library.
Open Access debate has been high profile, but primarily and economic argument, from our perspective the question would be open access to what and we are interested in the access to the data! Thus the role of data management plans. The Royal Society report is key as it stresses that access to the data is essential for the whole basis of science to enable other researchers to build on the published work which is must harder and can be impossible if the data is not available (and easier if freely available) but only if the data is comprehensible so intelligent access is highlighted as necessary (i.e. importance of metadata).
Infrastructure needs to support the collection and curation of data for high quality dissemination with context and provenance. Infrastructure parallels the DIKW Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom hierarchy.
Having the ELN leads to changes in behaviour.
Development of the ELNs trade off in effort devoted to Semantics, Usability and IP building these up over time, showing our Smart Tea and LabTrove projects
The LabTrove system – designed to be quite easy to use for open and closed projects, allow & encourage use of metadata but not require or enforce – approach needed for adoption. Open Source software, with hosting and advice services.
Skip this slide – LabTrove was further developed under the SRF project
Process is important! As important as the Data. Need to describe as we can’t all “visit” – global tea room [Chemists are big on tea rooms]
Images important, able to sketch comment as well as text comment, highly linked notes. For example a record (post) about a substrate, can then trace what processes used this substrate and what results were then produced, so if it transpires there was an issue with the material then the consequences can be readily traced.
Computational processes can “blog” as well. A Matlab script can be run from a publish script so that all aspects data, code, figures output are all added to a Trove to give full provenance of a figure/result so a clear reord is kept of what material generated what outputs. Very useful once students have left and figures need modifying for a paper
Comments on computational models – in this case GODIVA is a way to show ocean models over the web (University of Reading) and with LabTrove added people can comment on geo-coded regions of the models results and have the video in the post – metadata taken from the models and put in the Trove.
Just shows the use in the x-ray project… computationally intensive image reconstruction in a complex, multi-disciplinary project, use of timelines, I have this to show that my work is grounded in physical science as well as computer science. You may want to stress your background in usability which is as we know so important to actually making this all work
Examples from USyd of the Open Notebook science use in malaria drugs. Enables global collaboration, link back to notebook from the publications, has industrial participation, links with other platforms (wiki etc). Pictures of the research are really useful.
Social media to disseminate open research, links to Twitter, and perhaps Facebook etc, make sure metadata is good enough for search engines to find, perhaps need some specialist metadata for research findings, researcher and funder ids are certainly useful!
Attribution requires similar infrastructure to security, so switching between Open Notebook Science, Open on Publication, Closed (i.e. industrially funded private research) is not hard:- in industry the work my not be public but often does need to be shared within the company, so similar issues to Open Science apply.
Well more rapidly and more efficiently, but is viewed by many as a problem when it comes to establishing reputation and advancement in career or potential financial gain, but open does not mean free, perhaps free at the point of use, but someone has paid for the work and is paying to maintain the access. Could comment on the collective action of the long tail of laboratory science needs the global collaboration that semantics + the web (not necessarily the formal semantic web) provides.
Attitudes to undertaking research need to change so that when data is collected the assumption is that it will be shared (at some point) and that collaboration is essential for rapid progress – don ’ t wait until it is right before you share at least with your collaborators, something students seem to resist not understanding that share and discuss is the best way to find out what is right.
