- date: 2012-12-12
- words: 8446
- flesch: 38
- summary: Some institutions adopt another term, standard file formats, to differentiate accepted and recommended file formats from others. Echoing the LC, Hodge and Anderson also suggest a list of selection criteria that have been grouped under the banner of “technical factors”: disclosure, adoption, transparency, self-documentation, external dependencies, impact of patents, and technical protection mechanisms.27 Researchers agree that open standard file formats are less obsolete and more reliable than proprietary formats.28 Close examination of the NISIS definition mentioned above reveals that standard file formats are in reality not free, nor do they allow unrestricted access to resources.

- summary: Our programming languages, application servers, Web application frameworks, AJAX libraries, integrated development environments, source-code repositories, build tools, testing harnesses, switches, routers, single-signon utilities, proxy servers, link resolvers, repositories, bibliographic management utilities, help-desk ticketing applications, and elaborate project-management protocols are all for naught if the final product of our labor, at the end of the day, doesn’t work. It now occurs to me, though, that this notion of “work” is precisely the point of technology, and that sometimes this gets lost for those of us employed fulltime as technologists in libraries.

The information about each session required for the simulation includes the time at which the user arrived to sign up for a computer, the number of minutes it took the user to log in once assigned a computer, how many minutes of computer time were used, whether or not this was the user’s first or a subsequent session for the day, and finally, whether the user gave up waiting and abandoned his/her place in the queue.

- summary: Hulseberg and Monson found in their investigation of student-driven taxonomy for library website design that “by developing our websites based on student-driven taxonomy for library website terminology, features, and organization, we can create sites that allow students to get down to the business of conducting research.” Search engines are preferred because of speed, ease of use, convenience, and availability.1 Similar studies such as Emde et al., and Gross and Sheridan, have shown that students are not using library websites to do their research.2 Gross and Sheridan assert in their article on undergraduate search behavior that “although students are provided with library skills sessions, many of them still struggle with the complex interfaces and myriad of choices the library website provides.”

- summary: BASIC ASSUMPTIONS The categorizing system was based on two nearly universal generaliza- ti.ons about biographical reference books: 1) They are consistently con- fined to biographies of persons who have something in common: for ex- ample, being alive or dead; or having the same nationality, sex, occupa- tion, religion, race, memberships; or possessing some combination of those attributes. RESULTS To obtain some measure of the program's accuracy, fourteen textbook questions, probably more challenging than the average patron would ask, were submitted to the computer and to a professional librarian who was especially familiar with biographical reference books.

The first half of Turkle’s book is the history of “socia- ble robots” and our interactions with them.

- summary: This is an acknowledgment of current resource limitations relative to the burgeon- ing quantities of digital content that need to be preserved. However, a short survey of some of the leading efforts clarifies for even the casual observer that implementation of the proposed standards is beyond many of those who are creating or hosting digital content, particularly because of restrictions on acceptable formats, requirements for extensive metadata in specific XML encodings, need for programmers for implementation, costs for participation, or simply a lack of a clear set of steps for the unini- tiated to follow (examples include: Planets, PREMIS, DCC, CASPAR, iRods, Sound Directions, HathiTrust).1 The deluge of digital content coupled with the lack of funding for digital preservation and exacerbated by the expanding variety of formats, makes the application of extensive standards and extraordinary techniques beyond the reach of the majority.

- summary: The fact that weighted indexing has become more prominently needed over the past decade may be related to the shift in the continuum from subject indexing as representation/ surrogate to subject indexing as access points, which is consistent with the shift from a small number of subject terms to more subject terms. Because of the difficulty of selecting words to represent visual/aural sym- bolism, subject indexing for art and cultural objects is usually guided by Panofsky’s three levels of meaning (pre-iconographical, iconographical, and post-iconographical), further refined by Layne in “ofness” and “aboutness” in each level.

The first volume of JOLA offers a fascinating glimpse into early days of library automation, when many things were different, such as the size (big) and capacity (small) of computer hardware, and many things were the same (e.g., Richard Johnson’s description of the book catalog project at Stanford, where “the major achievement of the preliminary systems design was to establish a meaningful dialogue between the librarian and systems and computer personnel.”

- summary: Library users are now accustomed to using a single search box, such as with Google; they also use nonlibrary online tools to find information about books and no longer view library cata- logs as the primary place to look for books.11 As users are no longer accustomed to using the con- trolled language and particular searching methods of library catalogs because they have moved to discover- ing materials online, libraries must adapt to new way of obtaining information and focus not on teaching users how to locate library materials, but give them the tools to discover on their own.12 VuFind is one option among many in the genre of next-generation or discovery-catalog tools. Some librarians view the interface as only part of the problem of library catalogs and point to cataloging and metadata practices as the larger underlying problem.

- summary: How we deal with the current shifts happening in information and technology during the next five to ten years will say a great deal about how the library and information community reinvents itself for its role in the twenty-first century. This shift is different, and it will create both opportunities and challenges for everyone, including those who manage information and those who use it.

- summary: Our response to the shifting environment has been to envision how libraries can provide the best value to our patrons despite an information ecosystem that duplicates (and to some extent replaces) services that have been a core part of our profession for ages. There are many other ways libraries create value for our users, and one of the best is for us to respond to needs that are specific to our organizations and users— specialized services, focused collections, contextualized discovery, all integrated into environments in which our patrons work,

That component of the staff was entirely devoted to arcane and mysterious processes involved in selecting, acquiring, cataloging, pro- cessing, and otherwise making available to library users physical material containing information con- tent pieces (incops).

Internet users actively participat- ing in and shaping the online communities are, perhaps unintentionally, influencing how those who access infor- mation via the Internet expect to be able to receive and use digital resources.

By 2001, more than 99 percent of public school libraries provided students with Internet access.17 By 2007, 99.7 percent of public library branches were connected to the Internet, and 99.1 percent of public library branches offered pub- lic Internet access.18

- summary: Parallel records (2) CatQC identifies foreign library records that are candi- dates for parallel record treatment by indicating in the report if the 040 has a non-English subfield b. The results were so favorable that the author speculated that PromptCat would herald a future where libraries can “reassess their local practices and develop greater confidence in national standards so that catalog records can be integrated into local OPACs with minimal revision and library hold- ings can be made available in bibliographic databases as quickly as possible.”2

- summary: The successful libraries in terms of PAT services and resources visited had staff that could n understand PAT (both in terms of functionality and potential); n think creatively across the technology and library service spectrum; n integrate online content, PAT, and library services; n articulate the value of PAT as an essential commu- nity need and public library service; n articulate the role of the perception of the library by its community as a critical bridge to online con- tent; n demonstrate leadership within the community and library; n form partnerships and extend PAT services and resources into the community; and n raise funds and develop other support mecha- nisms to enhance PAT services and resources in the library and throughout the community. At that time, public libraries essentially experimented with public- access Internet and computer services, largely absorbing this service into existing service and resource provision without substantial consideration of the management, facilities, staffing, and other implications of public-access technology (PAT) services and resources.

- summary: Wood of Sun gave a presentation at the 2008 PASIG Spring Meeting in which he estimated that the cost to supply power and cooling alone to maintain a peta- byte (1,000 TB) of disk-based digital content for a mere ten years would easily exceed $1 million.1 Refining his figures downward somewhat, Wood noted a few months later at the following PASIG meeting that for a 1 TB drive, the five- year estimated power and cooling for 2008–12 could be estimated at approximately $320, or $640,000 per petabyte over ten years, still a considerable sum.2 Add to this the costs of migration—consider that a modern spinning disk is generally thought to have a use- ful lifespan of about five years, and tape may have two or three decades—and the need regular integrity-checking of digital content for “bit-rot,” and you have the stuff of a sustainability nightmare. Can we meaningfully plan for the preservation of digital content over centuries given our poor track record over just the past few decades?

- summary: In contrast, in the past year OCLC Library staff averaged 4.2 local knowledge base searches for every three questions received. The reaction of OCLC staff indicates that such personal messages, with con- tent summaries that allow recipients to quickly evaluate the contents, are more often read than OCLC Library RSS feeds—especially if items sent continue to be valuable.

- summary: While these records could be filtered out by matching against LC class numbers that are found in our catalog and discard- ing non-matches, this would add yet another level of processing to an already complex process, as would handling the LC table subdivisions that are used in the LC schedules and that are separate from the stan- dard class numbers. Secondly, the LC MARC classification files require a subscription costing several thou- sands dollars per year, as well as a substantial payment for the retro- spective file needed to begin building the database of class numbers.

Admittedly, some of them may have done so because I asked them, and their replies to me were the polite ones that one expects of the honorable members of the Library and Information Technology Association of the American Library Association.

- summary: Public libraries must also focus on increasing provi sion of Internet access in light of federal, state, and local governments recently adding yet another significant level of services to public libraries by “requesting” that they provide access to and training in using numerous egov ernment services. A sample was drawn to accurately represent metropolitan status (roughly equating to their designation of urban, suburban, or rural libraries), poverty levels (as derived through census data), state libraries, and the national picture, producing a sample of 6,979 public library out lets.7 The survey received a total of 4,818 responses for a response rate of 69 percent.

Fail to take note of salient differences between incom ing record and database record, and the match will be wrong, undetected, and potentially hard to detect in the future.

Only one library was forced to develop a policy for specifically addressing computeruse concerns as a result of Facebook use.

However, libraries are already the venue through which users access much online content—newspapers, journals, and other peri- odicals; reference sources; genealogical materials—even if many users do not physically come to the library or consult a librarian when using them.

Strategic planning is one of those duties assigned to library managers and leaders that often get pushed to the lowest-priority list, mainly because there are few guide- lines and handbooks available in this area.

- summary: Or—in light of the unprecedented transformational power of these tools to create new digital works, and their widespread use both within libraries and on campus—do academic libraries bear heavier responsibilities regarding copyright compli- ance, permission-seeking, and education? Similar issues arise when faculty want to place self-cre- ated digital works that incorporate copyrighted materials in electronic reserves systems or institutional repositories. In 2006, virtually every type of work imaginable is under automatic copyright protection for extended periods of time; private use of digital works is increasingly visible and of concern to copyright holders; the public domain is endangered; and ordinary citizens are being prosecuted as “pirates” under draconian statutory and criminal penalties.

Web search-engine research has shown that the number of searchers viewing only the first results page has increased from 29 percent in 1997 to 73 percent in 2002 for United States-based Web search- engines users.1 Additionally, the mean number of results viewed per query in 2001 was 2.5 documents.2 This may indicate either increasing relevance in search results or an increase in simplistic Web interactions.

- summary: However, the use of digital technology implies a degree of technical compat- ibility between different media, sometimes referred to as “media convergence,” and these developments encourage the prospect of being able to search across and between different media forms—notably text, images, sound, and numeric data sets—for different kinds of material relat- ing to the same topic. Therefore, attention was turned to a collection of different numeric data sets available through a single interface, Counting California, made available by California Digital Library at http://countingcalifornia.cdlib.org.

I hope to publish more articles on the management of information technologies.

However, both the Web site and the database had to be internationalized and localized to separate the template for metadata pres- entation from the content in different languages.

- summary: AND LIBRARIES | MARCH 2013 2 Recently there has been tremendous interest in “makerspace” and its potential in libraries: from middle school and public libraries to academic and special libraries, the topic seems very much top of mind. A number of libraries across the country have been actively expanding makerspace within the physical library and exploring its impact; as head of one such library, I can report that reactions to the associated changes have been quite polarized.

There have been a couple of technical hiccups related to the publication of back issues of ITAL previously only available in print: the publication system we’re using (Open Journal System) treats the back issues as new content and automatically sends notifications to readers who have signed up to be notified when new content is available. In this month’s issue, ITAL Editorial Board member Patrick “Tod” Colegrove reflects on the emergence of makerspace phenomenon in libraries, providing an overview of the makerspace landscape.

- summary: An information space is a digital space a user community populates with information objects for the purpose of enabling content sharing and providing integrated access to different but related collections of information objects.9 The effect of tagging information objects in an information space may be private, i.e., visible to the users who tagged the objects or to a group of users sharing the same right, or public, i.e., visible to all users.10 Many well-known websites allow end users to tag web resources. Prefixing tags with work session identifiers, cloning of tagged objects, or keeping index replicas may be valuable techniques, but all fail to deliver the real-time requirement described previously.

From the seven existing major bibliographies listed at the end of this review, and from twenty abstracting and indexing services, and nearly 300 journals, the compilers have selected items published during the years 1955-1965, in nine categories : 1 ) research resUlts, 2) new theories, 3) identifiable breakthroughs, 4) incremental gains in information sciences, services, and systems, 5) developments identified as new by the authors reporting them, 6) comprehensive reviews, 7) bibliographies, 8) evalu- ative articles, and 9) directories to current research.

It can be seen that the basis of MARC II is a very flexible file structure designed to hold any type of bibliographic record.

- summary: The data is critical, but the debates over vendors' unwillingness to share data have overshadowed other important features and functionality that are important to making discovery systems valuable, especially in the areas of getting users the actual resources that they find, delivering the most relevant results, and being more aware of the full user context not merely their search query. Another librarian commented on how valuable it would be to integrate user generated comments about books from worldcat.org in a similar way.

An early code for production of catalog entries, which the French Government issued in 1791 ( 11), pre- scribed transcription of the title page, and underlining of the author's name as the filing term.

Circulation cards were inserted in the book pockets and the books were returned to the stacks, which had been relabeled with Library of Congress numbers.

The money saved could then be used for utilization of MARC rec- ords rather than for housekeeping maintenance of MARC records.

W ARHEIT: Program Administrator, Information Systems Marketing, International Business Machines, San Jose, California In the development of library systems, the movement today is toward the so-called totar' or integrated system. Although there are a number of reasons why on-line, time sharing and terminal oriented equipment made it feasible to build total library systems, the fundamental ones were that now the librarians could interact with their system and records and could, essentially simultaneously, perform a great variety of tasks.

- summary: that the time on tasks, excluding task 4, diminished between task 1 and task 7, suggesting that participants had no trouble learning and remembering how to use the system. Error Rate for Each Task The error rate proved to be the most accurate indicator of usability problems with each task. Each time a participant chose a wrong path, faced an impasse, or had to be guided by the facilitator, the event was labeled as an error. Because the error rate seems to decline from task 1 to task 7 (excluding tasks 3 and 4), the team inferred that users were able to learn how to use the system quite easily.

One opens this report wondering whether circulation of reserve books to readers is included in the computer based system, and assuming that such circulation would have to be handled on-line because the short duration of reserve loans, often on the order of one hour, would not seem to fit well with batch processing.

- summary: Immersive technologies offer the promise of 3D virtual world libraries where students and their teachers can work together in virtual space with library materials and tools—search engines, online catalogs, media, text, etc. For more than five years, advances in the development of virtual meeting space and workspace have enabled librarians to provide immersive, 3D virtual world services that give a sense of presence that is lacking in conference calls, text chat, and web conferencing.1 As a result, not only is the individual’s physical distance from library materials eliminated, but also the distance is eliminated between individuals who work with each other using library materials.

- summary: The service, dubbed Info SOS, was designed to overcome two barriers to patron participation in feed services: the chore of subscribing to and curating multiple feeds and the lack of awareness of feeds and feed reader technology. Yahoo! Pipes was chosen for this service primarily because it requires limited coding knowledge,7 yet the software provides a number of advanced functions for sorting and combining large groups of feeds.

- summary: Although the original intention was to develop rules appropriate for the arrange- ment of entries by computer, those at the Library of Congress and the ALA commit- tee working on the problem soon realized that, from the point of view of catalog users, it would be very undesirable to have different sets of filing rules in opera- tion depending on the physical medium of the catalog. The impetus for this work came from recognition that computer tech- nology would soon be enlisted to perform the arrangement of entries for the produc- tion of catalogs, and that filing rules cur- rent at the time would be impossible to implement in their entirety on the com- puter.

A move from big cities to townships and other smaller communities, and the independence of distance provided by information technology, should lead to much greater local and regional self-sufficiency.

- summary: Today more than seventy publishers are equipped to receive computer tape orders and input them di- rectly to their order fulfillment systems; twenty-six publishers can produce com- puter invoices and credits for their cus- tomers; six are capable of sending monthly updating information about titles, prices, publication dates, and books declared out of print. Random House analyzed returns for wrong title or wrong edition one year after they began receiving tape orders from Dalton, Baker & Taylor, and Brodart.

- summary: Suspected usage outliers from an e-journal need to be compared to other usage values of that particular title because each e-journal tends to be used differently. In fact, this practice has been enforced for the past several years and has saved the library a considerable sum of money.24 For this reason, it is extremely important not to assume the accuracy of usage values without carefully examining the data.

- summary: My primary reasoning for this is that technology is (1) fairly opaque to people outside of technology areas and (2) technology is driving so much of the rapid change we are experiencing in libraries. In many ways, our reputation as a committed service profession will be affected by out tech staffs’ ability to interact well with end users, and ultimately, I believe the proportion of our tech staff that have a high EQ could be one the strongest predictor s of the long-term success for technology teams in libraries.

- flesch: 33
- summary: After their experience with developing a framework to license and purchase a large corpora of journal articles in XML format to be text mined, Fox and Williams came to believe that, in addition to providing copyright expertise, librarians should assist in reducing transaction costs by developing model license clauses for text mining and routinely negotiating for these rights when the library purchases journals and other types of content. For these reasons the body of text that is most often used by researchers for text mining is PubMed.”3 The resulting visualization allowed researchers to identify four genes involved in mouse craniofacial development that had not previously been connected to tongue development, with the resulting hypotheses validated by subsequent laboratory experiment.4 The knowledge-‐based analysis tool is open access.

- summary: CONCLUSIONS A close examination of the 570 titles apparently in need of duplication reveals that, with very few exceptions, students are apparently checking out only books that are curriculum oriented in the most narrow sense, i,e., books which they need to use in writing term papers. An article by William L. Leffler ( 1) suggested a system of adapting industrial inventory techniques to the problem of identifying books to be duplicated that would be compatible with the Library's computer based circulation system and also could be expected to be simpler and more thorough than the above method of buying multiple copies.

- summary: Initial articles were deleted in Yale titles, but only English articles in MARC titles because the language of foreign language titles is not identified in MARC. Possible influences that might have led to different results were the existence of errors in the Yale file, a significant proportion of foreign titles in the Yale file as compared to the nearly all-English MARC file, and the inability to mechanically delete the initial articles in the few foreign language MARC titles.

- flesch: 46
- summary: While most tasks were accomplished successfully, the study confirmed previous warnings that users do not understand the complexities of search and identified several interface issues: (1) users desire single search, but willingly use multiple options for search, (2) lack of visibility for the option to sort search results, and (3) the difficulty in finding journal articles.[3] Yang and Wagner offer one case where the aim was to evaluate discovery layers against a check-‐ list of 12 features that would define a true ‘next generation catalogue’: (1) Single point of entry to all library information, (2) State-‐of-‐the-‐art web interface (e.g. Google and Amazon), (3) Enriched content (e.g. book cover images, ratings and comments), (4) Faceted navigation for search results, (5) Simple keyword search on every page, (6) More precise relevancy (with circulation statistics a contributing factor), (7) Automatic spell check, (8) Recommendations to related materials (common in commercial sites, e.g. Amazon), (9) Allowing users to add data to records (e.g. reviews), INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | MARCH 2015 81 (10) RSS feeds to allow users to follow top circulating books or topic related updates in the library catalogue, (11) Links to social networking sites to allow users to share their resources, (12) Stable URL’s that can be easily copied, pasted and shared.

- summary: The INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | JUNE 2015 80 challenge that libraries face is the need to make sure that users are aware of their presence on a search interface rather than relying exclusively on keywords alone and solely on the algorithmically based result.24 The value of the faceted/filtered search is the ability to lead the searcher quickly and efficiently to the desired result, a result that will too often elude the user even with a powerful Google search, unless that user gets most of the terms exactly right. At this point, it is difficult, if not impossible, to know whether facets have been used for searches and, if so, which facets have been used.

- summary: The use of faceted browsing allowed users to parse the bibliographic record in new ways (and more ways) than had preceding catalogs. We have similarly enhanced services related to the discovery and delivery of items listed in the bibliographic database, including not only common features like the ability to export citations in a variety of formats but also more extensive services such as document delivery, an auto-‐suggest feature that maximizes use of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and the ability to submit cataloged items to be processed for reserve reading. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | JUNE 2015 7 Both students and faculty have embraced e-‐books, and in adding more than a million such titles to the UNC-‐Chapel Hill catalog we continue to blend discovery and delivery, but now on a very large scale.

Item systems are in operation at Bell Laboratories library ( 18,19 ), Eastern Illinois University library ( 20), Ohio State University libraries ( 21,22 ), and the Technical Library of the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston ( 23).

- summary: The assumptions on which the conference was based were the traditional ones of librarians and information scientists-that access to information should be the right of anyone without regard to geographical or economic position, and that pooling of resources (here by networking operations) is one of the best ways to reach that goal. Since it is deemed desirable to give the widest chance for all individuals to use these networks, it was recommended that fee-for- service prices should be kept low through subventions of the telecommuni- cations costs by libraries and information centers.

Stoffan INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | JUNE 2015 103 ABSTRACT The clash of principles between protecting privacy and protecting security can create an impasse between libraries, campus IT departments, and academic administration over authentication issues with the public area PCs in the library. He confirmed that other librarians also have ambivalent feelings about authentication issues but that there was also growing understanding in libraries about the potential vulnerability of networks or misuse of their resources.2 It seemed that the speed at which authenticating computers in the public areas of libraries was happening across the country had not really allowed the literature on the subject to quite catch up. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES | JUNE 2015 105 Those studies that existed such as SPEC Kits seem to address the issue from the perspective of larger research libraries or else did not systematically assess other specific groups of libraries.3,4 There were questions in our minds about whether the current research that was found would describe the trends and unique situations of libraries located in rural areas or in other types of academic libraries.

- summary: More specifi- cally, the study will: • Characterize typical data base pub- lishing activities in terms of markets, products, sales strategies, methods of data base collection, distribution, etc.; • Identify the current and expected roles of private industry sectors, gov- ernment, and professional associa- tions; • Analyze existing and latent markets for data base publishing ventures and estimate market growth over the next five years; • Describe criteria for analyzing the economics of data base publishing services and pricing them; • Review hardware, software, and de- velopments likely to affect the indus- try in the next five years, including emergence of lower-cost switched data networks; • Describe the probable impacts of Technical Communications 267 public policy and regulatory devel- opments, including copyright legis- lation, patentability of software, and concern over protection of confiden- tiality of personal information, and • Characterize the reasons for past failures of certain data base publish- ing ventures and propose strategies for successful involvement. A file conversion is a messy, difficult and essentially unproductive task, no matter how well done, because it merely transforms existing data into an- other form and in so doing exposes, for all to see, the many ancient errors which we do not want to see.

- summary: The library literature on online library tutorials might be divided into subcategories: early development of online instructional tutorials, library website usability testing, evaluation of online information-literacy instruction tutorials, best practices for the creation of library tutorials, and the best mediums for the creation of library tutorials. Most useful here is the “Best Practices for Creating and Managing Animated Tutorials” found in the article’s appendix.25 Best Mediums for the Creation of Library Tutorials Other authors have explored the need to accommodate different learning styles in library tutorials rather than relying too heavily on text to convey information.26 At the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, an information literacy tutorial was planned and created to support online distance learners in the geography post- graduate program.

- summary: Even though there are promising experimental studies that exploit various methods and sources for semi-‐automatic metadata generation,3 a lack of studies assessing and evaluating the range of tools have been developed, implemented, or improved. To address such needs, this study aims to examine the current landscape of semi-‐ automatic metadata generation tools while providing an evaluative analysis of their techniques, features, and functions. Because of the quantity of information resources and the costly and time-‐consuming nature of manual metadata generation,2 it is increasingly apparent that there simply are not enough information professionals available for satisfying the metadata-‐generation needs of the library community. Semi-‐automatic metadata generation, on the other hand, offers the promise of using high levels of computing power to manage large amounts of information resources.

- summary: Meanwhile, Bell and Sarr recommend integrating value-‐added features into IR websites as a way to attract faculty.12 Their successful strategy for reengineering a struggling IR at the University of Rochester included adding tools to allow users to edit metadata and add and remove files, and providing portfolio pages where faculty could list their works in the IR, link to works available elsewhere, detail their research interests, and upload a copy of their CV. We can assume that users would be goal-‐based in their approach to the IR; faculty would be visiting the site with the specific purpose of uploading content and would be actively looking for a trigger to begin an interaction that would allow them to do so.

This would guide users back to the native A&I resource which both libraries and A&I providers want, and it would do that in a more intuitive and meaningful way for the end user.

- summary: The ability to prioritize tasks and identify mission-critical features of mobile MAMW are some of the most common activities undertaken by libraries to manage this scope.32 For instance, it is not practical to make entire library websites mobile because libraries would end up serving only those patrons who access their sites over mobile alone. Open Source Design mobile websites that allow users to leverage the same open source technology as the main websites77 Design mobile websites linking to other existing services like library h3lp and library catalogs with mobile interfaces such as MobileCat78 4 Networking Design a mobile website capable of exploiting advancements in technology such as faster mobile data networks79 Identify and address technology issues (e.g., connectivity, security, speed, signal strength, etc.) faced by patrons when using MAMW80 5 Input/Output Devices Use a mobile robot to determine the location of fixed RFID tags in space81 Design MAMW capable of processing data communicated using radio frequency identification devices, near-field communication technology, and Bluetooth- based technology like iBeacons82 Offer innovative services using augmented- reality tools83 IDENTIFYING KEY STEPS FOR DEVELOPING MOBILE APPLICATIONS & MOBILE WEBSITES FOR LIBRARIES | POTNIS, REGENSTREIF-HARMS, AND CORTEZ |doi:10.6017/ital.v35i2.8652 52 6 Databases Integrate a back-end database of metadata with front-end mobile technologies84 Integrate front-end of mobile MAMW with back-end of standard databases and services85 7 Social Media and Analytics Integrate social media sites (e.g., Foursquare, Facebook Place, Gowalla, etc.) with existing checkout services for accurate and information rich entries86 Implement Google Voice or a free text- messaging service87 Use Google Analytics for mobile optimized website by copying the free JavaScript code generated from Google Analytics and paste it into library webpages to gain insight into what resources are used and who used them88 Integrate a geo-location feature with mobile services89 Table 1.

- summary: For example, there are seven behavioral objectives in the unit on Computer Technology, of which the first four are: 1) the student will be able to discuss the two-fold requirement to repre- sent data by codes and data structures for purposes of machine manipulation, 2) the student will be able to identify the basic components of computer systems and de- scribe their purposes, 3) the student will be able to differentiate hardware and soft- ware and describe briefly the part that programming plays in the overall com- puter processing operation, 4) the student will be able to define the various modes of computer operation and indicate the utility of each in library operations. Elsewhere the author indicates that his emphasis is on software technology of information systems and that the book is intended to bridge the communications gap among information users, librarians and data processors.

- summary: The LC/MARC Record As a National Standard 159 The desire to promote exchange of bibliographic data has given rise to a rather cacophonous debate concerning MARC as a standard, and the definition of a MARC compatible record. It might safely be said that in the most common use of a MARC record-card production-scarcely more than the paragraph distinctions on an LC card are really necessary.

- summary: The twenty-nine papers published here are presented under six headings, each representing an area of librarianship in which Dr. Shera has been a major in- fluence: philosophy of librarianship, li- brary history, reference work in the li- brary, documentation, the academic li- brary, and library education. An appendix devoted to an in-depth study of education for library manage- ment concludes that: in Britain and, to a lesser extent, the United States this aspect of library education needs considerable strengthening; games such as that de- scribed are most suited to specialized courses for experienced librarians but there is a place for similar ones in first- level courses; and a larger proportion of the profession needs to comprehend the concepts put forward in this and other studies before better management tech- niques will be applied to libraries.

- summary: There are several reliable paths: ( 1) be aware of and alert to the possibilities of misleading claims and misrepresentation; ( 2) follow up a sales pitch with a few phone calls to those institutions that are described to be using the product or about to sign the contract; ( 3) maintain a reasonable amount of resistance to the sales talk; ( 4) use the library profession's invisible col- lege to determine the validity of the claims and the experiences that oth- ers have had with the firm; and ( 5) support the attempts of our profes- sional societies, such as ALA and ASIS, to require organizations to main- tain certain advertising standards. Most approaches fall into one of the following categories: ( 1) misleading advertising, with unclear statements and imprecise use of vocabulary; ( 2) claims that one, or several, or many other libraries are using the product with satisfac- tion (when this indeed is not the case); ( 3) specific statements that a large and prestigious library is about to sign a contract for servic~s or products (although investigation will reveal no such intention); ( 4) lists of experts in the field who are presumed to be associated with the company in an ad- visory or consultant role (but who are unaware of this use of their names); and ( 5) approaches to federal, state, or local agencies to appeal 248 Journal of Library Automation Vol.

- summary: The expectation for print reference collections is that they are comprised of high-use materials—the very reason for their designation as noncirculating items is ostensibly so that materials are available for on-demand access by both patrons and staff, who use them frequently. Certain objections to removing print reference collections to closed stacks and using the newly freed public space to build a cooperative learning commons, for instance, tend to devolve into hysterics about the potentiality of libraries becoming “no better than a Starbucks.”

- summary: These features, many of which have become deeply embedded into user search processes elsewhere on the web, could prevent or alleviate a substantial number of issues related to problematic user queries (misspellings, typographical errors, imprecise queries, etc.), enable more efficient recovery from errors by guiding users to improved results, and facilitate discovery of foreign-language materials. They rely on relevance ranking and are often reluctant to examine search results in any depth: if the desired item does not appear within the first few hits, users tend to rework their initial search statement (often with only a minimal change to the search terms) rather than scrolling down to the bottom of the results screen or looking beyond the first page of results.

- summary: The authors argue that such data evaluation is important because it can better inform decisions taken to build collections that will attract users and serve their needs. As Herold, who traced the second largest group of users of the Orang Asli digital image archive to Malaysia notes, the geographic base of a collection’s users can be indicative of the popularity of a subject area.22 Likewise, Matusiak asserts that users’ comments can be indicative of the relevance of collections to users’ needs and provide direction for the future development of digital collections.23 As neither the Craft Revival, Cherokee Traditions, nor Horace Kephart collection includes items that relate specifically to the university’s history—unlike other institution-specific collections mentioned earlier—it is possible collection users may be more representative of the larger public than the university.

- summary: From the point of view of a university librarian, focused on keeping journal subscription costs in line (unsuccessfully I might add), I think there is real danger in not considering what a flip to a gold model might look like. Underpinning the proposal was a 2015 paper from the Max Planck Digital Library that suggested that the amount of money currently being spent (largely by libraries) on journal subscriptions should be sufficient to fund research publication costs if applied to a “flipped” journal publishing business model, from subscription-based to gold open access.1 In the Netherlands, the university sector has adopted a national approach in negotiating deals with several major publishers (Springer, SAGE, Elsevier, and Wiley) that allow Dutch authors to publish their papers as gold OA, without additional charges (but, depending on the publisher, with limits on total numbers and/or which journals are available within the deals).2 The so-called “Dutch Deal” by the VSNU (Association of universities in the Netherlands) and UKB (Dutch Consortium of University Libraries and Royal Library) takes a national approach to flipping the model, attempting to bundle access rights for Dutch readers with APC credits for Dutch authors.

- summary: Innovative's Media Management module is still unique among ILS/LMS software in that most vendors either provide a separate digital repository for special collections digital surrogates or they incorporate images into the catalog using third party software like Syndetic SolutionsTM. ”15 As Moeller describes, Innovative’s Media Management module links images and many other file types directly to bibliographic records without requiring users to click an additional link unless they want to view a larger image of a thumbnail.16 Similar to Butler and Kvenild’s project, all of our photos were 900 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall, which is slightly smaller than their default width of 1000 pixels.17 One advantage of using the Media Management module is its ability to automatically create thumbnails 185 pixels wide by 85 pixels tall.

Next, a basic description of TVWS and its features is provided, focusing on key aspects of the technology relevant to libraries as community anchor institutions.

- summary: The body of literature on library makerspaces is brief, descriptive, and often didactic. Born of a global community movement, makerspaces bring the do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to communities of tinkerers using technologies including 3D printers, robotics, metal- and woodworking, and arts and crafts.1 Building on this philosophy of shared discovery, public libraries have been creating free programs and open makerspaces since 2011.2 Given their potential for community engagement, college and research libraries (CRLs) have also been joining the movement in growing numbers.3 In recent years, makerspaces in CRLs have generated positive press in popular and academic journals.

- flesch: 42
- summary: Background: EEBO, Related Resources and Bibliographic Records Much has been written on EEBO’s inception and continuing development as a collection of digital reproductions of microfilm reproductions of pre-1700 print resources, and on its scholarly value (Kitchuk, 2007; Martin, 2007; Gadd, 2009; Mak, 2013; Folger Shakespeare Library, 2015).12 Alfred Pollard and Gilbert Redgrave’s A short-title catalogue of books printed in England, Scotland, & Ireland and of English books printed abroad, 1475-1640 (“STC”), and the “companion” volume, Donald Wing's Short-title catalogue of books printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America, and of English books printed in other countries, 1641-1700 (“Wing”), respectively, were used in selecting the print resources for filming.13 Gadd (2009, 683) pinpointed the STC as “a catalogue of editions (or more accurately, editions and issues) not copies although, of course, the A CASE STUDY ON THE PATH TO RESOURCE DISCOVERY | GUAY | doi:10.6017/ital.v36i3.9966 25 information about any edition is derived primarily from the surviving copies … Each entry gives the location of known copies …” 14 The “successor” to STC and Wing, the English Short Title Catalog (ESTC), “includes records for every item listed in STC, every item in Wing, every item in the Eighteenth Century Short Title Catalogue … and newspapers and other serials which began publication before 1801” and is freely available online from the British Library.15 16 Gadd (2009, 685-686) offered this critique concerning EEBO’s bibliographic data and relationship to the ESTC: EEBO’s relationship with the original STC and Wing is straightforward and clear; EEBO’s relationship with electronic ESTC, on the other hand, is less well-known. This resulted in a project to identify OCLC record numbers (OCN) for addition to OCLC’s Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) KBART file.1 Initially, the project was an attempt to adapt cataloging workflows to a new environment in which the copy cataloging of e-resources takes place within discovery system tools rather than traditional cataloging utilities and MARC record set or individual record downloads into online catalogs.
