The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Research CommunicatorsAnup Kumar Das
The emergence of Web 2.0 and simultaneously Library 2.0 platforms has helped the library and information professionals to outreach to new audiences beyond their physical boundaries. In a globalized society, information becomes very useful resource for socio-economic empowerment of marginalized communities, economic prosperity of common citizens, and knowledge enrichment of liberated minds. Scholarly information becomes both developmental and functional for researchers working towards advancement of knowledge. We must recognize a relay of information flow and information ecology while pursuing scholarly research. Published scholarly literatures we consult that help us in creation of new knowledge. Similarly, our published scholarly works should be outreached to future researchers for regeneration of next dimension of knowledge. Fortunately, present day research communicators have many freely available personalized digital tools to outreach to globalized research audiences having similar research interests. These tools and techniques, already adopted by many researchers in different subject areas across the world, should be enthusiastically utilized by LIS researchers in South Asia for global dissemination of their scholarly research works. This newly found enthusiasm will soon become integral part of the positive habits and cultural practices of research communicators in LIS domain.

Implementing web scale discovery services: special reference to Indian Librar...Nikesh Narayanan
Web scale Discovery services arebecoming the widely adopted Information Retrieval solution in libraries across the world to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. In lieu with the world trend, Resources Discovery Solution implementation is gathering momentum in Indian libraries also.
Considering the Indian Libraries scenario, this paper attempts to provide an overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions, its need in Indian Libraries, important parameters to be considered for evaluation of Discovery Services, essential factors to be considered prior to implementation, stages of implementation and finally some thoughts on post implementation analysis for measuring the success.
Web scale Discovery services are becoming the most sought after solution for Libraries to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. Many studies show that these services are getting wide acceptance from users as well as Library staff and making revolution in Library Information retrieval arena. Given such broad implications, selecting a new discovery service for libraries is an important undertaking. Library professionals should carefully evaluate options to meet their goal of finding the best potential match for their library. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery, how it differs from federated searching and highlights the important parameters to be considered for taking an informed and confident decision on selecting discovery service.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Guiding in Managing Research Profiles
Roles in Research Data Management
4. Can you go and search each individual databases ?
5. Disjoint Sources of Information
• Books: Library OPAC (ILS module)
• Articles from Individual e-Journals
• Various e-Book collections
• Different e-journal publisher portal
• Aggregated : Full text and Bibliographic
Databases
• Abstract and Indexes (WoS, Scopus etc.)
• Subject indexes (Psychinfo,Inspec)
• Local Digital Collections (IRs)
Where to Start?
6. Adverse
consequences
• Dissatisfied users
• Under utilized resources
• Loss of money time and efforts
• Unable to provide relevant information to
users at right time
• Inefficient mark on Library system ?
• Ultimate loss to institution & nation
7. A Simple Solution
A single point entry to all the content and services offered by
the library…..
Search e-Journals, books, catalogue, IR’s etc.
….as well as providing an enjoyable search experience
Search
9. Federated Search
• Started in late 1990s
• Simultaneous Search through
connectors- wait- compile- organize
results
• In theory federated search was a
good solution, in practice these
systems were (and still are) often
slow and the relevance ranking
limited and incomplete.
Discovery systems, layers and tools, and the role of the
electronic resources librarian
ScienceDirect -(2012)
10. Google custom search
• You can customize Google search by including your choices. For example, in the context of a
library search, you can select (Example https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=009250080112770812892:ce2egffkgay)
• ScienceDirect
• Springer
• Emerald etc.
• Drawback
• You cannot limit to your subscribed content only ( For example, it searches entire
ScienceDirect and you cannot filter your content only.
https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4513751?hl=en&ref_topic=4513742
11. Web-scale Discovery Services
• Similar to Google
Search
• Pre-harvested
• Unified index
• Can include library
local collections
12. Discovery Service Federated Search Engines
Search is very fast as retrieval is done in pre-
harvested index
Slow (longer time for search completion) –
Federated searching is performing the meta
search on the fly from different resources
Standardized unified Index Many indexes: Individual indexes and different
database structures of various publishers makes
it difficult for metadata retrieval.
Robust Relevancy Ranking as retrieval is from
Unified index
Testing has proven that relevancy ranking is a
major issue in retrieval of quality data.
Metadata Enhancement is possible Metadata enhancement is not possible
Comprehensive results Shallow results -and eventually users will miss
much relevant content.
Performance quality is very high Many times important information from
relevant resources are missed out due to
connection error.
Subject filtering of result set is based on the
segmentation ( pre-defined controlled
vocabularies)
Subject filtering is through automatic clustering
and noise of non- standardized vocabularies
may mislead the users.
Discovery Vs Federated Search Engine
13. Facilitating
modern
Search
platforms
• Web-Scale Discovery search
• All-in-one search
• Need to know which resources are
indexed in Discovery service and
which are not.
• Search strategy, advanced search,
refine your search result
• Google Scholar
• Library links on Google Scholar
14. Google Scholar
Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA)
Google Scholar CASA : It is an authentication enhancement that allows individuals access to their
institution’s licensed content off-campus through Google Scholar. The pre- requisite is that the
publisher should be a participating member of this program.
How Does CASA Work?
• If a user is connected to their institutions' on-campus network and visits Google Scholar, Google will automatically
create an affiliation between that user and their school.
• This affiliation creates a seamless authentication flow between Google Scholar and publishers’ Databases enabling
them to access publishers’ content off-campus.
• The number of days depends on the publisher settings. Normally it is 30 days
15. Google
Scholar
Library links
• Library links are article-level links to
subscription full text for patrons affiliated
with a library.
• This program works best for electronic
resources, such as journal and conference
articles.
• To sign up, library needs an OpenURL-
compatible link resolver, such as 360 Link
from Serials Solutions, Full-text finder from
from EBSCO
• Contact the vendor of your link resolver to
get included in Google Scholar.
16. • Go to Google Scholar click the three horizontal bars in the corner to
view the menu. Click on that.
• Click on settings
• Click on Library Links
• Search for Your University
• Check the box " Zayed University Library – “Full-Text@ZU”

A paper published via an open access (OA) route means that research literature is
free-to-view by anyone in the world via the internet, and to reuse with a attribution
under a Creative Commons licence, or equivalent.
Three types of OA,
• Pure ‘Gold’ OA Publishing - Articles are peer reviewed, selected and formally
published and then made available with no subscription pay-walls.
• Hybrid journals - This is the practice of making articles published in traditional
subscription journals freely available
• ‘Green’ Open Access Archiving - This relates to the practice of archiving a version
of the article somewhere other than the publisher’s website where the final
version of the article is hosted.
33. Open Access
Article publishing charges & Institutional agreements
• Authors may need to pay Article Publishing
Cost to (APC) to the publisher in most of the
cases.
• Some Universities have institutional
agreement with publishers to pay the APC.
• There are various models of Institutional
agreements.
• I am not sure the status in India. University
research office or University library can take
the initiatives for open access agreements.

35. Predatory
journals
A predatory publisher is an opportunistic publishing venue that exploits the
academic need to publish but offers little reward for those using their services.
Their primary goal is to make money (i.e. there will be fees).
There is no or fake peer review process
They do not care about the quality of the work published (i.e. no or little editing
or peer-review).
They make false claims or promises (i.e. claims of impact factors and indexing).
They engage in unethical business practices (i.e. not as advertised).
They fail to follow accepted standards or best practices of scholarly publishing
(various).

62. What is Research Data Management
It covers the planning, collecting, organizing,
managing, storage, security, backing up,
preserving, and sharing your data and ensures
that research data are managed according to
legal, statutory, ethical and funding body
requirements. (Whyte, A. & Tedds, J., 2011).
63. Why manage
research data
• Ensuring research integrity and reproducibility
• Increasing your research efficiency
• Ensuring research data and records are accurate,
complete, authentic and reliable
• Saving time and resources in the long run
• Enhancing data security and minimizing the risk of data
loss
• Preventing duplication of effort by enabling others to use
your data
• Meeting funding body grant requirements (if applicable)
64. What is
involved in
RDM
Data Management Planning
Creating data
Documenting data
Accessing / using data
Storage and backup
Sharing data
68. Data
Management
Plan (DMP)
• A data management plan (DMP) contains all the
information related to managing the data for
your project: what data, stored where by whom,
how it is looked after and when it is made public.
• A researcher needs to make the plan in
compliance with funders and Institutional
requirements
• There are various tools and best practices guides
to help in this process
70. DMP-
Common
questions
Description of data to be collected / created (i.e. content,
type, format, volume...)
Standards / methodologies for data collection &
management
Ethics and Intellectual Property (highlight any restrictions
on data sharing e.g. embargoes, confidentiality)
Plans for data sharing and access (i.e. how, when, to whom)
Strategy for long-term preservation
71. DMP tools
• DMP Tool (https://dmptool.org/) is a free,
open-source, online application service of
the University of California Curation Center of
the California Digital Library.It helps
researchers to create data management
plans.
• DMP oline https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/ by The
University of Edinburgh
• RDM Plan Template - University of
Melbourne, Australia
73. Best practices in
Research Data
Management
• File organization & Formats
• Metadata
• Deal with sensitive data
• Data sharing
• Data citation
74. Guidelines for choosing formats
• When selecting file formats for archiving, the formats should ideally be:
• Non-proprietary
• Unencrypted
• Uncompressed
• In common usage by the research community
• Interoperable among diverse platforms and applications
• Fully published and available royalty-free
• Fully and independently implementable by multiple software providers on multiple
platforms without any intellectual property restrictions for necessary technology
• Developed and maintained by an open standards organization with a well-defined
inclusive process for evolution of the standard.

77. Metadata
• What is Metadata
Metadata is defined as "structured
information that describes, explains,
locates, or otherwise makes it easier
to retrieve, use, or manage an
information resource. Metadata is
often called data about data or
information about information.
Metadata Type Example
Properties
Descriptive metadata
Common fields which help users to discover
online sources through searching and
browsing
Title
Author
Subject
Genre
Publication
date
Technical metadata
Fields which describe the information
required to access the data
File type
File size
Creation
date/time
Compression
scheme
Metadata standards/schemas may vary from discipline to
discipline. Dublin Core is one of the most commonly-used
generic metadata standards.
78. Discipline specific metadata- Examples
• Agricultural Metadata Element Set (AgMES)
• Astronomy Visualization Metadata Standard (AVMS)
• Access to Biological Collection Data (ABCD)
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Learning Object
Metadata (LOM) standard:
• More examples are available in Texas Tech University

79. Sensitive data
Sensitive data can be information that is protected
against unwarranted disclosure. It can include but
not limited to personal data, proprietary data and
other restricted or confidential Data that should be
protected from unauthorised access.
Sharing Sensitive Information- Important points
• Including provision for data sharing when gaining
informed consent
• Protecting people's identities by anonymising
data where needed
• Considering controlling access to data
• Applying an appropriate licence
80. Data Sharing
• Avoid duplication
• Scientific integrity
• More collaboration
• Better research
• Increased citation
BENEFITS
• Public expectations
• Government agenda
• Institutional agenda
DRIVERS
81. Data sharing
Important points
• Institutional Policies:
• Funder Policies: Researchers should be aware of any funder
policies that may stipulate the ways and restrictions on data
dissemination and sharing.
• Research Collaboration Agreement: Researchers should come
to an agreement on how, when, and by whom the data will be
accessed, used and disseminated in the future if appropriate.
• Usage of Extant Proprietary Data: Researchers should seek
permission from the data owner or producer prior to the
sharing the original or derived data if appropriate.
• Re-use of Others’ Data: If the research data was not previously
collected by you, instead of sharing the research data,
researchers should give credit to the data producers with a
proper data citation.
