The Web is changing. Search engines are placing more emphasis on identified entities and the relationships between them - so called Semantic Search. Google, Bing, Yahoo! and others are at different stages in the implementation of Knowledge Graph functionality. Wikidata is applying structured data techniques to organizing the world's information.
Against that background, the library community can capitalize on these developments to ensure that our resources are visible in the emerging Web of Data, significantly enhancing their discoverability. To achieve this there needs to be fundamental changes in the way libraries, and their systems, share information about what they hold and what they license. No longer can we expect library data to be treated as a special case. No longer can we expect our users to find our library discovery interface as a prerequisite to discovering our library's resources. If we want our resources to appear in the daily search workflow of our users, we need to be represented in the tools they use for everything else.
Using linked data principles to share information from individual libraries, using general-purpose vocabularies such as Schema.org, will mean that the search engines will be aware of what we have to offer and where to guide users to access it. By giving the Web what it wants in the way that it wants it, libraries will be able to use the Web to inform their users, relieving them of the need to use a library specific interface to discover library resources.
Richard will explore early examples of these techniques and what libraries and system suppliers will need to consider to take advantage of these trends in the future.
He will then lead an open discussion on the many concerns, issues, challenges, opportunities and benefits that naturally emerge from proposing fundamental changes such as these.

Libraries: technology as artifact and technology in practicelisld
Research and learning workflows are increasingly enacted in data-rich network environments. New behaviors are emerging which are shaped by and in turn shape workflow and data tools and services. This means that library attention is shifting from not only providing support systems and services but to supporting those behaviors more directly as they emerge. This support may take the form of particular system or services, but will also involve consulting and advising about such things as publication venues, reputation management, profiles, research networking.

Improving Understanding of Web Archive Collections Through Storytelling - PhD...Shawn Jones
With web archives, journalists find evidence and information to back up their stories, historians store information for later users, and social scientists can study the actions of humans during specific time periods. These different groups gain value not only from creating their own collections but from using the collections of others. Web archive collections store the content that would otherwise be lost. As users, we currently have no efficient way of understanding what is in each collection without manually reviewing all of its items. Web archives intentionally consist of different versions of the same document. With these multiple versions, we can watch the evolution of a single resource over time, following the changes to an organization or how the public learns the details of an unfolding news story. As aggregations of archived web pages, or mementos, these collections become resources unto themselves. While past work has used mementos for studying how web resources change over time or evaluated the changes to various industries, there is still theoretical work to be done in improving the usability of web archive collections. Our goal is to help collection creators and the public at large to make better use of these collections through improvements to collection understanding. We build upon the work of AlNoamany by using visualizations from social media storytelling. Our goal is to produce a story for each web archive collection. Each story consists of representative mementos selected from the web archive collection that are then individually visualized as surrogates (e.g., screenshots, cards containing a summary of the page). This solution has the benefit of using visualization paradigms familiar to users. In this work, we provide background on the problem, analyze previous work in this area, and highlight our preliminary work before providing a plan for future research.

Library as Place, Place as Library: Duality and the Power of CooperationKaren S Calhoun
This talk, delivered at the February 2010 OCLC Regional Council Seminar in Auckland NZ, explores the turbulent conditions in which libraries are evolving as both places and virtual spaces on the Web. How are these conditions driving change in library collections, catalogues, and cooperative systems? What are OCLC's strategies for helping today's libraries gain visibility and impact through cooperation and data sharing? If we were building a system for library cooperation today, what would it look like?
Brief overview of linked data and RDF followed by use in libraries and archives. Originally delivered at OLITA Digital Odyssey 2014. Revised for the OLA Superconference 2015
Presented at Industry Symposium, IFLA, 14 August 2008. Describes a new environment of global information services using metadata, taxonomies, and knowledge organization. Makes the case that these changes will permanently affect what it means "to catalog" materials for the purpose of connecting citizens, students and scholars to the information they need, when and where they need it.

Ctrl + Alt + Repeat: Strategies for Regaining Authority Control after a Migra...NASIG
Speaker: Jamie Carlstone
This presentation is on how to regain authority control in a large research library catalog: first, dealing with a backlog of problems from years without authority control and second, creating a process for ongoing workflows to realistically maintain authority control when new records are added to the collection.
The Serial Cohort: A Confederacy of CatalogersNASIG
Speaker: Mandy Hurt
In 2018, at a time when our department was shrinking through attrition, the decision was made to further leverage the particular skill sets of a select group of monographic catalogers by training them to also undertake the complex copy cataloging of serials.
This presentation concerns the assumptions underlying how this decision was originally made, the initial plan for how this would be accomplished by CONSER Bridge Training, the eventual formation of the Serials Cohort with a view to creating an iterative process I would design and manage, and the problems, obstacles and time constraints faced and addressed along the way.
Calculating how much your University spends on Open Access and what to do abo...NASIG
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including:
FlourishOA
Microsoft Academic Graph
PLOS API
Unpaywall Journals
We will also talk about Open Access on the subscription side, including how much of what you subscribe to is available as open access and how you can use that in your subscription decisions and negotiations.
The presenters are the cofounders of Our Research, the nonprofit company behind Unpaywall, the primary source of Open Access data worldwide.

Measure Twice and Cut Once: How a Budget Cut Impacted Subscription Renewals f...NASIG
Speakers: Ilda Cardenas, Keri Prelitz, Greg Yorba
The process of looking at subscriptions with the goal of proactively downsizing revealed that the library’s existing renewal workflows were outdated and in need of regular analysis to identify underused resources. Additionally, this project uncovered shortcomings of analysis that is reliant on usage data, the unexpected ramifications of large-scale subscription cancellations, as well as the need for improved communication within and between the many library departments affected by subscription cancellations.
Analyzing workflows and improving communication across departments NASIG
Presented by Jharina Pascual and Sarah Wallbank.
The presentation provides people with simple techniques for analyzing their local workflow and information-sharing practices, some ideas for interrogating and improving intra-technical services communication, and ideas for simple changes that can improve communication and build a sense of community/joint purpose within or across departments.
Supporting Students: OER and Textbook Affordability Initiatives at a Mid-Size...NASIG
Presented by Jennifer L. Pate.
With support from the president and provost of the university, Collier Library adopted strategic purchasing initiatives, including database purchases to support specific courses as well as purchasing reserve copies of textbooks for high-enrollment, required classes. In addition, the scholarly communications librarian became a founding member of the OER workgroup on campus. This group’s mission is to direct efforts for increasing faculty awareness and adoption of OER. This presentation discusses the structure of the each of these programs from initial idea to implementation. Included will be discussions of assessment of faculty and student awareness, development of an OER grant program, starting a textbook purchasing program, promotion of efforts, funding, and future goals.
Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

Presented by Jenny Hoops and Margaret McLaughlin.
As web accessibility initiatives increase across institutions, it is important not only to reframe and rethink policies, but also to develop sustainable and tenable methods for enforcing accessibility efforts. For institutional repositories, it is imperative to determine the extent to which both the repository manager and the user are responsible for depositing accessible content. This presentation allows us to share our accessibility framework and help repository and content managers craft sustainable, long-term goals for accessible content in institutional repositories, while also providing openly available resources for short-term benefit.
Linked Data is exploding in the library world, but the biggest problems libraries have are coming up with the time or money involved in converting their records, looking into Linked Data programs, finding community support, and all the various other issues that arise as part of developing new methods. Likewise, one of the biggest hurdles for libraries and linked data is that they do not know what to do to get involved. As we have fewer people available and smaller budgets each year, we would like to explore ways in which libraries can get involved in the process without expending an undue amount of their already dwindling resources. To see how linked data can be applied, we will look at the example of the Smithsonian Libraries (SIL). Over the past 18 months, SIL has been preparing for the transition from MARC to linked open data. This session will talk about various SIL projects and initiatives (such as the FAST headings project and the introduction of Wikidata and WikiBase); how to incorporate linked data elements into MARC records; and how to develop staff and give them proficiency with new tools and workflows.

Walk this way: Online content platform migration experiences and collaboration NASIG
In this session, a librarian and a publisher share their perspectives on content platform migrations, and the Working Group Co-chairs will describe the group’s efforts to-date and expected outcomes. Our publisher-side speaker will describe issues they must consider when their content migrates, such as providing continuous access, persistent linking, communicating with stakeholders, and working with vendors. Our librarian speaker will describe their experience and steps they take during migrations, such as receiving notifications about migrations, identifying affected e-resources, updating local systems to ensure continuous access, and communicating with their front-line staff and patrons.

“Read & Publish” agreements continue to gain global attention. What’s rarely discussed when these new access and article processing models are introduced is the paperwork, back-end technology and overall management required to implement the new program that works for all involved. This panel, comprised of a librarian, publisher, and researcher, will focus on the complexities of developing, implementing and using the infrastructures of different Read & Publish models and the challenges of developing a seamless experience for everyone.
From article submission to publication to final reporting, the panel will discuss the “hidden” impact that new workflows will have on stakeholders in scholarly communications. Time will be allotted for Q&A and attendee participation is encouraged.

Knowledge Bases: The Heart of Resource ManagementNASIG
This session will discuss the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the effect that knowledge bases have on discovery and e-resource management. The presenters will look at ways knowledge bases can be leveraged to create downstream tools for resource management and discovery. The session will also provide different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians and product managers, as well as a discussion of the NISO's KBART Automation recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session will also include a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows. Through this presentation, we also aim to improve communication between the library community and metadata providers and creators.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
