"From Reading Rooms to Research Commons" Sheila Corrall, DARTS4ARLGSW
The research environment is challenging libraries to raise their game by providing higher-end services in response to technological change and policy developments. Librarians are being urged to move from service-as-support to a partnership model involving “deep collaboration” across the whole knowledge lifecycle. But libraries are no longer the “go-to” place for researchers. Perceived as dispensers of goods, more geared to students and education, they struggle to gain take-up for research offerings. Innovative practitioners are using various strategies to reposition themselves as key players in the research arena, notably space-as-service strategies, which can bring researchers back to the physical library and improve visibility of virtual services.

Creation, Transformation, Dissemination and Preservation: Advocating for Scho...NASIG
As the fight for research grants intensifies and the pot of money decreases, librarians need to ensure that the topic of scholarly communication remains on the forefront, regardless of funding. Affording researchers avenues to widely share and publish their work to make it widely available should be a mission both in the library and at the highest levels of the institution. How can libraries make an impact? In this presentation two librarians, a consortia officer and vendor, will discuss how consortia have and continue to play a primary role in advocating for dissemination of information and scholarly communication. Additionally, they will discuss other tools that libraries/researchers can use as a method of collaboration, whether regional or international, and why it is essential for libraries to become part of the solution before they are left out in the cold. Please come prepared to discuss how your library is making an impact on this topic.

Organizational Implications of Data Science Environments in Education, Resear...Victoria Steeves
Data science (DS) poses key organizational challenges for academic institutions. DS is a multidisciplinary field that includes a range of research methodologies and fields of inquiry. DS as a domain is interested in many of the same issues as libraries: data access and curation, reproducibility, the value of ontologies, and open scholarship. At the same time, identifying opportunities to collaborate and deploy unified services can be challenging. The Data Science Environment (DSE) program, co-funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore and Alfred P. Sloan foundations, provides resources to help universities develop collaborations between researchers, develop tools in DS, and create new career paths for data scientists. Working groups within the DSE focus on reproducibility, career paths, education/training, research methods, space issues, and software/tools. This program has introduced new opportunities for libraries to explore how to engage with this community and consider how to bring the expertise in the DS community to bear on library missions and goals. In this panel, program members from each of the three partner universities, the University of Washington, New York University and the University of California, Berkeley, consider the research questions of the DSE and the organizational impact of these groups in the University as a whole and for the libraries specifically. The panel will employ a case-study presentation model framed through three lenses: the role of data sciences in information science, the
potential career paths for data scientists in libraries, and the potential
amplification of information services (e.g. data curation, institutional repositories, scholarly publishing).

Research into Practice case study 2: Library linked data implementations an...Hazel Hall
The research underlying this presentation explored the role that libraries play in the linked data context. Focusing on European national libraries and Scottish libraries, multiple data gathering methods and constant comparative analysis were applied in the study. Amongst the findings, a general lack of awareness within the library community of the Semantic Web and the implications of linked data was identified. At the same time, there is recognition that linked data augments the discoverability and enhances the interoperability of library data. The presentation will include recommendations for the application of the findings of this research in practice.
The proliferation of communication technologies is profoundly changing the nature of academic practice. In this presentation I describe the impact of blogging and social networking tools on the practice and dissemination of academic research across disciplinary boundaries. I suggest that the traditional notion of the university is giving way to communities of scholars who are not tied to particular institutions, and less dependent on traditional forms of dissemination and publication. The resulting ‘democratisation’ of academia is portrayed in terms of a tension between democracy and expert knowledge mediated by technology.
One prominent contemporary challenge for technologists is to understand the ongoing impact of technological change on academic communities. At The Open University, the Digital Scholarship research team is mapping the use of Twitter in order to better understand user engagement with these technologies. I will present headline findings from this research and discuss the implications for scholarly practice at the OU.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Phrase Net - x’s Topic Modeling By Time – Most Common
The call for visualizing “Big Data” has generated a groundswell of interest among historians and humanities scholars, as
demonstrated by the international response to the National Endowment for the Humanities’ 2010 and 2011 Digging into
Data challenges. Exemplary efforts from the first two rounds of projects suggest the great potential for visualizing large
repositories of primary sources for historical insight.
Our project treats a peer-reviewed scholarly journal – Florida Historical Quarterly, housed at the University of Central
Florida – as a dataset to be analyzed and visualized. In applying macro-level reading and text-mining tools to the
secondary literature of a scholarly field, we are making visible patterns of topical coverage.
In this poster, we present the results of our case study. We machine-read over 1500 research articles across the entire
85 year run of the journal (1924-2009) and identified the top 100 key terms. (The top key term “Indian” is located at the
center of the visualization; the rest of the key term list expands out from the middle.) We then arrayed each of these key
terms according to the number of times the key term appears per year in order to develop a “macro-reading” of the
journal. Key terms were identified using the Data For Research application developed by JSTOR. The key terms were
determined using term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), a statistical measure of how important a word is
in a given document. We have generated two such visualizations from this data: a 2-D chart and the same data as a 3-D
interactive “topology” (the latter soon to be “translated” into a physical sculpture.)

Editor's Notes
According the 2014 New Media Consortium Horizons Report Library Edition, an annual project that examines and identifies significant trends in emerging technologies and their implications, there are six trends we should pay close attention to. These are broken down into fast, mid-range, and long-range trends, depending on how quickly the trends will likely be implemented. They are determined by a group of international experts from library management, education, technology, and various additional fields who convene over the course of three months in the spring to come to a consensus about both the trends, the most pressing challenges, and the most important individual technologies, as well as their implications at three levels: policy, leadership, and practice. Today, I am going to focus almost exclusively on practice for the sake of time.
Fast Trends (1): Archive the observations and data that led to the published ideas and open them up to others for further exploration. “Enhanced formats and workflows, within the realm of electronic publishing have enabled experiments, tests, and simulation data to be represented by audio, video, and other media and visualizations. The emergence of these formats has led to libraries rethinking their processes for managing data and linking them between various publications” (6). Furthermore, the development of the semantic web (LOD and structured data) has created a structure that reveals the connections between ideas and publications so scholars and students can more easily determine how ideas, theories, perspectives, and representations have evolved over time. To take advantage of these advances, we, as digital scholars and librarians must become even more familiar with the latest copyright and intellectual property laws as they continue to evolve and attempt to keep pace with the changing technological landscape. We also need to begin organizing our repositories and databases using LOD and rethink the interface to make the rich connections between sources apparent to users.
(2) Mobile Content Delivery & Mobile Apps: Claremont already has a beautiful responsive web design. Here are some resources we can take advantage of to continue to improve our mobile content delivery: ** The American Library Association’s Tech Source offers information and training on how to improve a library’s mobile website.
** 23 Mobile Things is a self-paced online course that explores the potential for mobile tools for the delivery of library services ** Duke University Libraries are using the “BrowZine” app for tablets to make library resources more mobile-friendly, enabling library patrons to browse, read, and monitor current academic journals. ** Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki: go.nmc.org/m-li
(3) OTHER: Better marketing for services like the trial access to databases – get students and faculty excited about this opportunity! What amazing resources!
Here are just a couple of examples built to visualize trends in the secondary literature or historiography. Many other examples exist and point to new opportunities for big data and quantitative studies, even in fields that have traditionally embraced primarily qualitative study. Even in the field of art history, data visualization is allowing scholars, such as Lev Manovich to ask entirely new questions about the field, such as the use of various colors among all of the impressionists – which colors predominated the collective artwork produced in this movement? Which colors were used more by some painters than others. What about visual similarities among all of these paintings – a task far too time-consuming without the aid of computational analysis. What is the role of the library to provide researchers access to visualization tools and the products of such research? The argument is increasingly becoming that this now falls precisely in the library’s domain.
This graphic from the article “Publishing Frontiers: The Library Reboot” reveals the vast majority of scientists who wish they had access to others’ research datasets to conduct their own investigations and the gap between this desire and actual access in practice. We will need to begin collaborating with researchers to archive their datasets, help them navigate copyright issues, and publicize this work as scholarship in its own right, as well as a resource for further examination. At the policy level, the NSF has recently (2013) released a report that discusses its data management requirements and examines repository responses. Resources are already available to help librarians navigate this new territory, including from Jisc (formerly known as Joint Information Systems Committee based in the UK), and the Council on Library and Information Resources, among others.
“No longer limited to text-based final products, scholarly work can include research datasets, interactive programs, complex visualizations, lab articles, and other non-final outputs, as well as web-based exchanges such as blogging. There are profound implications for academic and research libraries, especially those that are seeking alternative routes to standard publishing venues, which are often expensive for disseminating scientific knowledge. As different types and methods of scholarly communication are becoming more prevalent on the web, librarians will be expected to stay up-to-date on the legitimacy of these innovative approaches and their impact in the greater research community” (10).

ICIS: (1) role & impact of social media on scholarly publishing. (2) Alternative metrics for assessing scholarly impact. (3) How openness of communication influences impact.
Openness: (Ex – math & physics deposit pre-published articles in ArXiv before submission)
More may be done in this arena, but further investigations into current practices, willingness, and faculty buy-in, as well as workshops to educate and advise administrators, faculty members, and graduate students will be necessary before determining the next best steps to take in this particular arena. **See Diane Dawson, “Making your publications open access: Resources to assist researchers and librarians,” College & Research Libraries News 74, no. 9 (October 2013): 473-476.
Orbis: An Interactive, Digital Scholarly Publication on the Roman World
It is a “digital archive of sites and routes, a tool for exploring Roman transportation, and an argument about the dynamic shape of the Roman world and the nature of transport within it.” (Elijah Meeks and Karl Grossner, “ORBIS: An Interactive Scholarly Work on the Roman World,” JDH 1, no. 3 (Summer 2012). http://journalofdigitalhumanities.org/1-3/orbis-an-interactive-scholarly-work-on-the-roman-world-by-elijah-meeks-and-karl-grossner/)

Publishing interactive data sets alongside and embedded within the scholarly argument – something that is only possible in a digital environment.
Shift from focus on building print collections to “providing remotely accessed online resources and guiding students and researchers through new discovery services.” (14)
Facility renovation and reconstruction
Enhance digital infrastructures through digital preservation & curation, resource discovery, and managing the life cycle of digital content from acquisition through usage.
“Digital humanities and computational social science research approaches are opening up pioneering areas of multidisciplinary research at libraries and innovative forms of scholarship and publication. Researchers, along with academic technologists and developers, are breaking new ground in data structures, visualization, geospatial applications, and innovative uses of open-source tools.” (15)
H-Net began as a listserv in 1995 to connect scholars and students and facilitate an open exchange of information and ideas. It was groundbreaking for its time but quickly became outdated.
Since 1995, H-Net has expanded to encompass nearly 200 scholarly networks and more than 200,000 subscribers from more than 90 countries. In the transition to the new Commons platform, built on Drupal, I have trained more than 200 network editors and have helped facilitate a number of collaborative scholarly projects. In addition to editor training, I also worked on the site’s new theme, depicted here.
Here are just some of the types of academic projects around the new Commons…
I also edit our occasional newsletter. In our most recent edition – published just a couple of weeks ago, we featured H-Material-Culture’s “American Childhood in 25 Artifacts” and a new “Crossroads” collaborative network focusing on World War I scholarship. Our next major endeavor is an interactive mapping project for H-South that will include embedded multimedia files that highlights the intellectual and cultural life of nineteenth-century African –Americans in the Southern United States.
“There is now an onus on library leaders to accurately understand how people prefer to learn and to incorporate those methods” (27).
Authentic user experience in research – from discovery through notes and experiments to publication
Training in skill acquisition (Georgetown University Library offers workshops on social media marketing, data visualization, video editing, and other emerging technologies)
**Altmetrics: “takes into account a scholar’s online social media imprint as well as their ability to publish their own research in repositories and disseminate it through blogging or other avenues.”
**Internet of Things: Network of connected objects that link the physical world with information world through the web
**”Semantic-aware applications infer the meaning, or semantics, of information on the Internet using metadata to make connections and provide answers that would otherwise be elusive or altogether invisible.” (44)
