Inclusive support for developing researcher skills

Alison McNab

The presenter will describe a relatively uncommon strategy for managing the ILS. The University of California Irvine Libraries have implemented a management approach for the ILS which decentralizes control and distributes the responsibilities for modules into their respective functional areas. The presentation will include: Prior organizational configurations and the rationale for change; benefits and improvements in service; group structure including the background and skills of its members; allocation of responsibilities and functions within the group; tools and methodologies used by the group, including a work-ticket system, documentation practices and project management techniques; a critical assessment of efforts to-date; and future refinements.

In this session we explore the birth of digital preservation, examine what it is and what it is not, and look at the challenges that preservation of multiple formats of digital scholarship brings. We look at the types of content that are currently being preserved, and consider the formats that will need to be preserved in the future. We also discuss what it is not possible to preserve – by today’s technologies at least!

A library environment for everyone: Universal design and libraries

A presentation given to RLUK Members' meeting at the University of Warwick. The library identity has been closely bound with its collection. However this is changing as research and learning behaviours evolve in a network environment. There are three interesting trends. First, atttention is shifting from a library-centric view of a locally owned collection to a user-centred view of a facilitated collection in places where the library can add value. Second, there is growing emphasis on support for creation, for the process of research, as well as for the products, the article or book. And third, we are seeing a changing perspective on the historic core, the print book collection. Increasingly, this is being seen in collective ways as institutions manage down print, or think about its management in cooperative settings, or retire collections as space is reconfigured around research and learning experiences. This presentation also provides preliminary findings for the analysis being carried out by OCLC Research of the RLUK collective collection.

Sonoma County Library is unusual among public libraries in managing extensive special collections of photographs, rare books, wine-related materials, and local historic items. These materials are housed in several locations and represent only some of the library’s many hidden collections. We began digitizing and making photographs available online from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s with minimal metadata; today we leverage outsourcing and partnerships to bring over 40,000 digitized items with extensive metadata to the Web. Encouraging statistics show worldwide viewing and great local interest, yet many challenges remain: prioritizing collections, choosing platforms, developing standards-based workflows, preserving the digital and physical objects, developing and maintaining partnerships, and many more. In addition to describing the ways we are addressing these challenges, we will also illustrate a particular case—an ongoing project of the Sonoma County Wine Library. Beginning as a clippings file decades ago, the current manifestation of the International Wine Research Database (IWRDB) resides at iwrdb.org. A recent grant awarded to the Wine Library offered the chance to upgrade the raw data and the search interface, and the project remains an exciting opportunity for potentially bringing together staff and researchers from wine libraries in the US and abroad.

Northern California Technical Processes Group

Libraries, archives and museums generally share a commitment to provide access to collections information, yet we often struggle for time and resources to fully catalog, digitize, and publish our data. By working in partnership with community experts and other institutions, we have a better shot at reaching a broader public and improving the metadata and digital assets associated with our collections. Collaborative approaches to collections care and access—such as crowdsourcing metadata, volunteer-led digitization, and participation in aggregated sites like the Digital Public Library of America—can open up opportunities, but may require us to rethink our standard modes of operation and to shift perspective—from that of an isolated and distinct facility to one experiencing membership in a global community of institutions, community experts, and end users. This talk will consider various strategies for “opening” collections processing, as well as access, using case examples from the Harold O’Neal film collection at the GLBT Historical Society, and Andrew J. Russell’s glass plate negatives documenting the construction of the transcontinental railroad, at the Oakland Museum of California.

Reflecting on both successes and failures, and her experience as a beta-test site leader and advisory board, consortia products review and license review and standards-committee member, Linda will offer strategies for being heard and solving problems. Which committees save you time? Are trouble-tickets the path to knowledge-base improvements? Is the Customer Services Representative visit an inside track to the Product Development Team? Is beta-testing worth the time commitment? Are conferences more than presentations and tchotchkes? Using examples from a variety of publishers, vendors, products, conferences and committees, Linda will offer a multi-pronged attack utilizing cross-departmental efforts to tackle knowledge-base errors, interface shortcomings, authentication failures, and feature loss. Universal accessibility and mobile availability will be explored as case studies in using license negotiation, consortia, trials and testing to pressure vendors to create products for our users. A graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, MLIS program in 1984, Linda Wobbe has worked in diverse public and academic libraries along the West Coast, and currently serves as the Head of Collection Management at Saint Albert Hall Library, Saint Mary’s College of California. As Head of Collection Management, Linda coordinates Collection Development, and manages Acquisitions, Electronic Resources, Periodicals and Processing functions. Linda is active in SCELC, the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium, serving on the Product Review and License Review Committees; and NCCPL, the Northern California Consortium of Psychology Libraries. She is on the Steering Committee for NISO's SERU alternative to electronic resource licensing, and is a member of EBSCO's Advisory Board.

For many libraries, an institutional repository is an online archive to collect, preserve, and make accessible the intellectual output of an institution. For a growing bloc, the goal is to go further, beyond knowledge preservation to knowledge creation. These libraries are using their repositories to provide faculty with a proven publishing option by facilitating the production and distribution of original content often too niche for traditional publishers. How do metadata librarians sift the incoming metadata with these different goals in mind? How do they optimize content for discovery in a wide range of resources such as online catalogs, external research databases, and major search engines? For a library that is also providing publishing services, what additional steps are necessary? As the provider of Digital Commons, a repository and publishing platform for over 350 institutions, bepress has first-hand experience with these topics, and our consultants advise regularly on best practices for collecting, publishing, distributing, and archiving content. This presentation is intended for library professionals, whether their goal is to collect previously published works or to go further into library-led publishing. After an overview of common sources and destinations for metadata, attendees will come away with a set of considerations for streamlining workflows and optimizing content for discovery and distribution in major venues. Eli Windchy is the VP, Consulting Services at bepress which provides software and services to the scholarly community. She received a Master's in Archaeology from University of Virginia, taught organic gardening, and for the last ten years has also been getting dirty with the metadata of Digital Commons repositories. She co-directs courses in institutional repository management and publishing, and she enjoys addressing the challenges of interoperability and scholarly communication.

Most archivists work, and for the foreseeable future will continue to work, in hybrid environments where analog and digital coexist and where the perception and treatment of one is informed and sometimes limited by the existence of the other. Analog collections are rendered in digital surrogates surrounded and supported by standardized digital metadata. Born-digital materials can be sorted and placed into desktop “folders” in an act that models familiar behavior with analog material and provides a comforting illusion of physicality. This presentation will look at how the mingling of analog and digital systems in the 21st-century archival institution affects, for better or worse, the perceptions and decisions of archivists working on the 20th-century paper backlog. Is the rapidly growing presence of digital systems in analog archival processing causing us to lose our (paper) minds? If so, does it matter? Lara Michels is an archivist currently working on the “quick kills” project to increase access to the paper manuscripts backlog of the Bancroft Library. She is also an historian with a PhD from Brandeis University.

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is an ambitious project conceived around the idea of a shared, national, digital repository. The resource would bring together the aggregated metadata of millions of publically accessible digital objects to the public. Working with eight pilot aggregators, the DPLA is ambitiously working towards a public launch in Spring 2013. The creation of the DPLA will result in the development of one of the largest repositories of free and CC0-licensed bibliographic metadata for digital content. This bibliographic data will provide researchers and library developers the opportunity to explore data mining, relationship building and experiment with linked data concepts. The DPLA represents a next step for libraries looking to move beyond their own walls and venture into the world of truly collaborative collections building. Terry Reese is the Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library Services at Oregon State University (OSU). He is the author of a number of metadata related software packages and libraries like MarcEdit, a MARC/XML metadata software suite and the C# OAI Harvesting package. He has published a number of works on digital libraries and library metadata issues, including co-authoring a book with Kyle Banerjee entitled, Building Digital Libraries: a how-to-do-it manual.

At the University of California, Davis, special collections cataloging is mainstreamed within a comprehensive cataloging department. In recent years, bibliographic access has been provided for materials that had been uncataloged and "hidden" for decades. Through cataloging efforts at the local level, original bibliographic records have been added to OCLC WorldCat, the University of California's Melvyl, and the ESTC (English Short Title Catalog). As a result of catalogers' virtual travel beyond the library's walls, hidden collections can be made accessible beyond the library's physical boundaries. Specific examples of calculated online searches, as well as serendipitous discoveries, will be presented within a broader context of providing access to collections "hidden" within the physical walls of a physical library, with the intent of suggesting best practices that could be adapted by other catalogers for other libraries. Elaine Franco is Principal Cataloger for monographs in the Cataloging & Metadata Services Department, UC Davis Library. She currently serves on the Advisory Board of the California Library Association Technical Services Interest Group, is Chair of the ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee, and is a member of the ALCTS Board of Directors.

Sharing "Hidden Collections" Beyond Our Libraries' Walls / Elaine Franco

Northern California Technical Processes Group

The concept of a "library without walls" has evolved over the last 100 years. Are there any walls left for 21st century libraries to consider? One answer to this question is that the remaining walls are virtual, political, and economic rather than physical. These invisible walls segregate library content from other content available on the Internet and create various barriers that restrict access to library resources. The new discovery catalog at the joint academic/public library in San Jose is an attempt to break through some of these walls in a complex political and economic environment. John Wenzler is the Associate Dean of Digital Futures, Technical Services, and Information Technology at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library of San Jose State University. John oversees the development of a growing suite of digital resources and services available from the SJSU Library. Because the King Library is a joint academic/public library, he also works collaboratively with the management of the San Jose Public Library to establish strategic goals and priorities. Before moving to SJSU, John was the Electronic Resources Coordinator at San Francisco State University and has worked as a Systems Librarian at Innovative Interfaces.
