The topics we cover at ER&L include managing e-resources & licensing, collection development and assessment, organizational strategies, external relationship management, user experience, scholarly communication, library as publisher as well as emerging technologies and trends. A complete list of tracks is available here: http://www.electroniclibrarian.com/presenters/tracks As a part of our complete 2014 tracks, you will notice each topic includes introductory questions and statements. " Managing electronic resources is a challenge, whether you?re new to it or have been engaged in it for years. Which systems and tools can be used to manage electronic resources more effectively? What kinds of challenges are new formats posing? How are libraries rearranging workflows to find solutions to e-resource management problems? What can we achieve through more thoughtful licensing? How can standards and best practices assist our efforts?? These questions--just a few from our 2014 conference tracks, are significant questions requiring the best and brightest from libraries of all sizes and types, from those on the leading edge to those starting out, from those professionals who oversaw the period of great emergence of the digital environment in large research libraries and from those who are new e-resources managers at government or public libraries. If you have not heard of ER&L, we encourage you to check out our website and consider participating. Fresh eyes, different perspectives, well documented case studies, productive partnerships with industry professionals and workshops have all made an impact in advancing our field collectively and professional development individually. And, we hope you?ll consider joining the conversation at ER&L in 2014.

The USB capability is not a 'billed' service on our lease. The way the supplier explained it - only those functions that result in a use of consumables are billed. We do not have sufficient patrons using ledger paper to justify the investment to a new coin op. It is on my back-burner for budgeting... but not soon. So, scanning to USB is not billable on our monthly count. Although, printing from a USB drive, is billable. (We do not allow this - most patrons are unaware of the function). ...

It is a rather versatile machine - at the moment, we are limiting ourselves (no FAX modem, no Internet drop). We went from a 13 year old Xerox to the new machine... Due to patron demand, my initial RFP included requirements for scanning capability and a duplex platen (auto feeder). We also requested triple tray capacity (letter, legal, ledger). Do ask about your coin op device - as ledger is physically the size of two sheets of letter... older coin ops will only bill at 1-sheet. Newer coin ops will allow multiple pricing. Just something to ask when the office shop asks "do you hope to reuse your existing coin acceptor?" Also, inquire about charging for print from USB. (Due to inability to charge [age of coin op] we do not allow this). ~Jim James Gilbert, BS, MLIS Systems Librarian Whitehall Township Public Library 3700 Mechanicsville Road Whitehall, PA 18052 610-432-4339 ext: 203 From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of HAZEL Margaret E Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 1:45 PM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [WEB4LIB] Scanning for $ What kind of copier, and model, are you using, Jim?

Certainly cost effective (especially if you have a well maintained link resolver). At the time the major con was Google's lack of openness about what exactly was being indexed and when - librarians always want to know what titles are being indexed (or should I say, what 'databases' are covered). On that theme not having a support team you can easily contact about problems would also frustrate librarians. Now I think the major con is Google's predilection for pulling services that don't meet whatever criteria they use to determine whether they maintain them. (Vale Reader) http://www.maxkemman.nl/2013/09/what-if-google-killed-scholar/ The other thing that isn't quite a con but is a function I don't think is quite obvious to users is the 'All n versions' link on the bottom of each record. Often I've found the default displaying record's link to our link resolver doesn't work but if I view all versions and try the link resolver for each I will often get a link that does work (a sure sign the original metadata wasn't parsed correctly so an ill-formed openurl has been created). Our discovery layer seems to handle deduplication better - but I like Scholar's lack of distinction between open access and subscription full text. We do promote Scholar as an option and our link resolver referral stats indicate that Scholar does about a third of referrals to the link resolver that Summon does (remembering Summon 'direct links' to a significant chunk of fulltext, bypassing the resolver). Combined, Scholar and Summon account for 60% of all link resolver referrals. Cheers, Alan.

I'm not worried about 99% of patrons even knowing how to do it... as I can't figure out how after about 3 minutes of nosing in the menus :) ~Jim James Gilbert, BS, MLIS Systems Librarian Whitehall Township Public Library 3700 Mechanicsville Road Whitehall, PA 18052 610-432-4339 ext: 203 From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of HAZEL Margaret E Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 2:21 PM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [WEB4LIB] Scanning for $ Thanks Jim, that's great information.

It is a rather versatile machine - at the moment, we are limiting ourselves (no FAX modem, no Internet drop). We went from a 13 year old Xerox to the new machine... Due to patron demand, my initial RFP included requirements for scanning capability and a duplex platen (auto feeder). We also requested triple tray capacity (letter, legal, ledger). Do ask about your coin op device - as ledger is physically the size of two sheets of letter... older coin ops will only bill at 1-sheet. Newer coin ops will allow multiple pricing. Just something to ask when the office shop asks "do you hope to reuse your existing coin acceptor?" Also, inquire about charging for print from USB. (Due to inability to charge [age of coin op] we do not allow this). ~Jim James Gilbert, BS, MLIS Systems Librarian Whitehall Township Public Library 3700 Mechanicsville Road Whitehall, PA 18052 610-432-4339 ext: 203 From: Web technologies in libraries [mailto:WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of HAZEL Margaret E Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 1:45 PM To: WEB4LIB at LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [WEB4LIB] Scanning for $ What kind of copier, and model, are you using, Jim?

I reviewing the results of a recent survey of distant learning students with regard to their awareness of library resources and services, and I was quite dismayed that a significant percentage were not. Note: Respondents learned about services and features from the survey. Based on survey results, awareness of several key library features was significantly low: For such features as course reserve, ?Ask Us?, interlibrary loan, databases, electronic journals, and library research guides, the percentage of students who were not aware at all of any any these services was more than 40%, with the latter over 50% . BTW: I'm not interested in creating resources and general services for the distant learner per se, but in strategies for _promoting_ them. BTW: While I will be conducting a systematic literature and web review I am also interested in any / all publications / resources on the topic. I have posted few strategies and will post others as I learn of them, as well as significant literature / web resources http://ref-notes.blogspot.com/2013/11/effective-strategies-for-promoting_7.html Thanks for assistance ! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Associate Professor and Science and Technology Librarian Iowa State University 152 Parks Library Ames IA 50011 "It's Not The Journey; It's The Detours." http://ref-notes.blogspot.com/2013/09/its-not-journey-its-detours.html ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-11-07 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Maryville, MO: Northwest Missouri State University. [Introduction] [snip] In May 2011, KSUL?s Instructional Design Librarian established a Distance Learning Team (hereafter referred to as we) comprised of representatives from KSUL?s two largest public services departments: Faculty and Graduate Services (FGS) and Undergraduate and Community Services (UCS). Although we were anxious to begin improving services and marketing efforts, we decided to minimize the likelihood of solving non-existent problems by heeding the Standards? call for a user survey. This paper describes the survey?s goals and items, presents key results (including the development of the survey instrument as an educational tool), outlines some of the changes we subsequently initiated to bolster services and marketing, and discusses our plans for future service improvements and assessments.

And yes, it needs to be in Canada. I can do most of my own dev-type work, so really it just needs to be setup to run WordPress, and most of all, reliable, hopefully with good customer service for when we need to contact the company.

They were all getting into Wordpress as replacements for static HTML library sites about 2 years ago and chose it because it supports WP and was inexpensive. They each have their own site but decided to all use the same provider. The name's kind of obvious but we compared them to a couple of other Canadian-only services and the libraries have been happy with their support and up-time. Best, David.

The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: Towards Repository Ecosystems Repository systems are but one part of the ecosystem in 21st century research, and it is increasingly clear that no single repository will serve as the sole resource for its community. How can repositories best be positioned to offer complementary services in a network that includes research data management systems, institutional and discipline repositories, publishers, and the open Web? When should service providers build to fill identified niches, and where should they connect with related services? How might these networks offer services to support organizations that lack the resources to build their own, or researchers seeking to optimize their domain workflows? Examining how repositories best integrate into the holistic research flow; exploring ties between domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories; and understanding durable content strategies outside of traditional repository environments are the central themes of the Open Repositories 2014 conference. We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We're particularly interested in hearing about: * Unconventional approaches to repository-like services * Interconnection between publishers and repositories * Researcher-centered design for scholarly workflows * Adaptations to support curation lifecycle management, e.g., for research data * Real-world scalability and performance stories: working at web-scale, with big data for global usage * Requirements for holding restricted or classified data in repositories * Infrastructure to accommodate national and international mandates for data management and open access * Positioning repositories closer to (local, consortial, or cloud-based) cyberinfrastructure for data processing * Leveraging connections to external services including: * Remote identifier services (e.g., DOI, ORCID) * (Re-)using repository data/metadata in new and unexpected ways, including integrated discovery * Scholarly social media services, such as for annotation, review, comment, reputation, citation, and altmetrics * CRIS and research management systems * Digital preservation tools, services & infrastructure * Community and sustainability in an open world KEY DATES ? 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions ? 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference ? 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups ? 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS Conference Papers and Panels We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference?s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. Interest Group Presentations One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. 24x7 Presentation Proposals We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. "Repository Rants" 24x7 Block. One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief expos?s that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's" We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn?t appropriate for a paper; you?ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. Developer Challenge Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. Workshops and Tutorials One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: ? The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey ? Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) ? How many attendees you plan to accommodate ? Technology and facility requirements ? Any other supplies or support required ? A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session ? Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors? names and affiliations in the submission.

As library authority files have become available online, the authority data has become accessible -- and many have been published as Linked Open Data (LOD) -- but names in one library authority file typically had no link to corresponding records for persons and organizations in other library authority files. After a successful experiment in matching the Library of Congress/NACO authority file with the German National Library's authority file, an online system called the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) [1] was developed to facilitate sharing by ingesting, matching, and displaying the relations between records in multiple authority files. VIAF has grown from three source files in 2007 to more than two dozen files today. The system harvests authority records, enhances them with bibliographic information and brings them together into clusters when it is confident the records describe the same identity. Although the most visible part of VIAF is a HTML interface, the API beneath it supports a linked data view of VIAF with URIs representing the identities themselves, not just URIs for the clusters. It supports names for person, corporations, geographic entities, works, and expressions. With English, French, German, Spanish interfaces (and a Japanese in process), the system is used around the world, with over a million queries per day. The service harvests some 30 million authority records, enhances them with information from 100 million bibliographic records to produce a file of 20+ million clusters, each representing a person, organization, jurisdiction, work, or expression. In addition to supporting a Web browser HTML interface, the API to VIAF supports content negotiation for other views, such as RDF-XML and MARC-21. Bulk dumps of the VIAF clusters are available under the ODC-By attribution license. The Webinar will cover some of the challenges VIAF meets in dealing with many different formats and approaches to describing identities, the relationship of VIAF to the source authority files, to other identity systems such as ORCID and ISNI, VIAF's approach to sustainability, governance and persistence, and how ambiguity is recognized and managed. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Thomas Hickey [2] is Chief Scientist at OCLC where he helped found OCLC Research. Current interests include metadata creation and editing systems, authority control, parallel systems for bibliographic processing, and information retrieval and display. In addition to implementing VIAF, his group looks into exploring Web access to metadata, identification of FRBR works and expressions in WorldCat, the algorithmic creation of authorities, and the characterization of collections. He has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science. REGISTRATION: Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern (17:00 UTC) on December 4, 2013. Discounts are available for NISO and DCMI members and students.

The licenses will allow students and educators to ?access, reproduce, publicly perform, publicly display, adapt, distribute, and otherwise use the work and adaptations of the work for any purpose, conditioned only on the requirement that attribution be given to authors as designated.? The full text of the bill is here. Creative Commons U.S.A. Director Michael Carroll issued the following statement: Senators Durbin and Franken should be congratulated for their leadership. This bill seizes the opportunity to make high quality textbooks affordable and reusable by paying once for their production and permitting free copying, updating, and adaptation with the requirement of an open license.

Our editorial board consists of recognized experts in the field of library UX, and our editorial philosophy is to strive for a balance between theoretical and practical topics. As the importance of digital services begins to rival that of collections, library user experience is taking a more central role than ever. While new jobs are being created for User Experience librarians and some departments are being renamed "User Experience" teams, there is still no comprehensive, rigorous publication for library UX professionals to share with and learn from their colleagues. Weave is intended to fill that gap. Weave helps practitioners and theorists come together to make libraries better. We are looking for two kinds of work: 1. Full length, scholarly articles of relevance to UX in libraries. We are interested in publishing innovative and cutting edge research, practical applications and their implications, and ideas and speculation about future directions for UX. Interested writers should review our instructions for authors ( http://ojs.scholarlypublishing.org/index.php/weave/about/submissions#authorGuidelines) before submitting articles online. 2. The Dialog Box, a new kind of review section. Weave's Dialog Box aims to extend beyond the traditional book review section and feature critical dialog not only with books but with other media that set the boundaries of library user experience. Because we aim to encourage creativity, our submission requirements are flexible. But all Dialog Box features will start from and engage an existing "artifact" relevant to library UX. Interested writers should review our Dialog Box submission requirements ( http://ojs.scholarlypublishing.org/index.php/weave/about/submissions#dialogbox) before sending pitches to dialogs at weaveux.org. Submissions can be uploaded at: http://weaveux.org Unless otherwise noted, all content in Weave UX is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) in order to allow for the greatest possible dissemination of our authors' work.

This hackathon will focus on using Hadoop in two digital preservation scenarios: Web-Archiving: File Format Identification/Characterisation A web archive usually contains a wide range of different file types. From a curatorial perspective the question is: Do I need to be worried? Is there a risk that means I should take adequate measures right now? The first step is to reliably identify and characterise the content of a web archive. Linguistic analysis can help categorise the ?text/plain? content into more precise content types. A detailed analysis of ?application/pdf? content can help cluster properties of the files and identify characteristics that are of special interest. Using the Hadoop framework and prepared sample projects for processing web archive content, we will be able to perform any kind of processing or analysis that we come up with on a large scale using a Hadoop Cluster. Together we will discuss what are the requirements to enable this and we will find out what still needs to optimised. Digital Books: Quality Assurance, text mining (OCR Quality) The digital objects of the Austrian National Library's digital book collection consists of the aggregated book object with technical and descriptive meta data, and the images, layout and text content for the book pages. Due to the massive scale of digitisation in a relatively short time period and the fact that the digitised books are from the 18th century and older, there are different types of quality issues. Using the Hadoop framework, we provide the means to perform any kind of large scale book processing on a book or page level. Linguistic analysis and language detection, for example, can help us determining the quality of the OCR (Optical Character Recognition), or image analysis can help in detecting any technical or content related issues with the book page images. Take a look at the full agenda here: http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/Agenda+-+Hadoop+Driven+Digital+Preservation. Highlights of this hackathon include: * Talks from our guest speaker, Jimmy Lin, University of Maryland * Taking part in our competition for the best idea and visualisation * A chance to gain hands-on experience carrying out identification and characterisation experiments * Practitioners and developers working together to address digital preservation challenges * The opportunity to share experiences and knowledge about implementing Hadoop Who should attend? Practitioners (digital librarians and archivists, digital curators, repository managers, or anyone responsible for managing digital collections) You will learn how Hadoop might fit your organisation, how to write requirements to guide development and gain some hands on experience using tools yourself and finding out how they work. To get the most out of this training course you will ideally have some knowledge or experience of digital preservation. Developers of all experience can participate, from writing your first Hadoop jobs, to working on scalable solutions for issues identified in the scenarios. We hope to see you in Vienna!

Please be sure to RSVP (as noted for each) if you plan to participate so that you will be sent the login and access information. All three events will be recorded, with the recording posted on the NISO website, but we encourage your live participation. _____ Event: ResourceSync Standard Training Webinar Date: December 3, 2013 Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (ET) Webpage: http://www.niso.org/workrooms/resourcesync/ RSVP: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/resourcesync-webinar About the Event The ResourceSync Framework Specification (NISO Z39.99-201x) is in the final stages of editing and approval to become an American National standard. It describes a synchronization framework for the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third party systems to remain synchronized with a server's evolving resources. The capabilities can be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements. This specification also describes how a server can advertise the synchronization capabilities it supports and how third party systems can discover this information. The specification repurposes the document formats defined by the Sitemap protocol and introduces extensions for them. In this webinar, ResourceSync core team members Bernhard Haslhofer and Simeon Warner will review the standard and provide practical examples and scenarios for its application. There will be time allotted for a Q&A discussion. ResourceSync is a joint NISO and Open Archives Initiative (OAI) project that is partially funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. _____ Event: NISO Bibliographic Development Roadmap Project Discussion Webinar Date: December 5, 2013 Time: 1:00 - 2:00PM (ET) Webpage: http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/BibliographicRoadmap/ RSVP: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FH2V23B About the Event NISO is developing a community roadmap that will help support movement toward a future bibliographic information exchange ecosystem. A two-day in-person meeting was held on April 15-16 to kick off the project with input from experts around the world about needed areas of focus, research, and standards development to effectively transform how bibliographic data is created, exchanged, and managed in the linked web world. The input from this meeting-some 40 project ideas in 15 categories--has been compiled at NISO 's IdeaScale Input Forum. (Community members are encouraged to visit the forum and "vote" on the ideas.) Obviously, in an environment of limited resources, not every one of these projects can be acted upon or pursued. This next phase of the project will be to collectively prioritize these potential activity streams. The December webinar will focus on this prioritization and provide participants with an opportunity to discuss and give feedback on the ideas. This feedback will be used to shape the recommendations in the final Bibliographic Roadmap report. The NISO Bibliographic Roadmap project is funded with a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. _____ Event: NISO Alternative Assessment Metrics (Altmetrics) Project Second In-person Meeting and Livestream Date: December 11, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (ET) Webpage: http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/altmetrics_initiative/ RSVP: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HCX8BGY About the Event NISO is undertaking a two-phase initiative to explore, identify, and advance standards and/or best practices related to a new suite of potential metrics in the community. This initiative was a direct outgrowth of a breakout discussion group during the altmetrics 12 meeting in Chicago, IL. This project is an important step in the development and adoption of new assessment metrics, which include usage-based metrics, social media references, and network behavioral analysis. In addition, this project will explore potential assessment criteria for non-traditional research outputs, such as data sets, visualizations, software, and other applications. The first phase of the project involves several in-person meetings (which are also livestreamed) to identify and prioritize potential standardization projects. In the second phase, the prioritized and approved standards/best practices will be developed by appointed working groups of volunteers. This event is the second in-person meeting, which will be held in Washington, DC. (There are still a few slots for in-person attendees, available on a first come-first serve basis.) The event will be livestreamed to interested virtual attendees who will also have opportunities to participate directly. The agenda of this one-day meeting will include a short opening keynote on the topic of assessment, lightning talks on related projects, brainstorming for identification of topics for discussion, and prioritizing of proposed work items. This project is funded through a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. _____ Cynthia Hodgson Technical Editor / Consultant National Information Standards Organization chodgson at niso.org 301-654-2512 ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-11-20 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you thinking about ways that libraries can improve services to users? The American Library Association (ALA) gives an annual grant for those conducting research that will lead to the improvement of services to users. The Carroll Preston Baber Research Grant is given to one or more librarians or library educators who will conduct innovative research that could lead to an improvement in services to any specified group of people. The grant, up to $3,000, will be given to a proposed project that aims to answer a question of vital importance to the library community that is national in scope. Among the review panel criteria are: * The research problem is clearly defined, with a specific question or questions that can be answered by collecting data. The applicant(s) clearly describe a strategy for data collection whose methods are appropriate to the research question(s). A review of the literature, methodologies, etc. is not considered research (e.g., methodology review rather than application of a methodology) for purposes of the award, except where the literature review is the primary method of collecting data. * The research question focuses on benefits to library users and should be applied and have practical value as opposed to theoretical. * The applicant(s) demonstrate ability to undertake and successfully complete the project. The application provides evidence that sufficient time and resources have been allocated to the effort. Appropriate institutional commitment to the project has been secured. Any ALA member may apply, and the Jury would welcome projects that involve both a practicing librarian and a researcher. Deadline is January 8, 2014.

This survey, now in its seventh annual iteration, provides an opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, redacted to conceal text that might identify the individual or organization responding. Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: http://www.librarytechnology.org/blog.pl?ThreadID=263&BlogID=1 I hope that all list subscribers will respond. Feel free to forward this request to any other library-related list. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey.

OERs are released under an open license that permits their free use and repurposing. OERs include open textbooks as well as other materials that support access to knowledge such as lesson plans, full courses, and tests. OERs usually are funded by government agencies or foundations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation. In 2009, for instance, Congress included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act $2 billion for grants for community colleges to develop educational and career training materials that would be released under a Creative Commons CC-BY license. The impetus for the development of open textbooks is the belief that they are less expensive for students (in higher education) and school districts (in K-12) than textbooks developed by commercial publishers. Moreover, open textbooks can easily be customized and updated by instructors, enabling them to provide a better learning experience for their students.

Because these patrons do not visit the library often, if at all, it is crucial to actively promote the library resources and services available to them. Marketing strategies for distance learning library services need to take a multifaceted approach to reach distance learners in as many ways as possible, and collaboration with various groups and departments on campus is an important part of the process. Promotion of distance library services can take advantage of high-tech options, but it should also work in the realm of ?traditional? publicity as well.

But with journal articles increasingly disseminated via online news and social media channels, new measures are coming to the fore. Alternative metrics ? or altmetrics ? represent one of the innovative ways the reach of articles is now being assessed, and Elsevier has just launched two pilots featuring the highly-recognizable altmetric "donut." Almetric pilot for Journal of Experimental Social PsychologyAlmetric pilot for Journal of Experimental Social Psychology The first pilot will feature donuts for a journal's top three rated articles displayed on the Elsevier.com homepages of 33 Elsevier titles. This rating is based on a social media traffic score given by Altmetric.com; an article must have received at least one social media mention within the last six months to qualify. By clicking on the "view all" option beneath this list, visitors can review altmetric donuts for the top 10 articles.

I'm looking for some input, as I will be training our librarians (public library) to use a variety of mobile devices: ipads, androids, surface, kindle, nook. Our focus has always been ensuring that librarians can help patrons download ebooks. With the holidays coming up and the pool of devices continuing to grow, we hope to be able to get staff ready to help people who walk into the library with their brand new devices - setting up the device, connecting to a wireless network, email. Many of our patrons are complete edevice newbies, and while each of our librarians is comfortable with a particular device, we need an across-the-board comfort level. Does anyone have experience with this? Any resources you'd be willing to share, such as checklists of "must know" features? I plan to spend some of the holiday weekend on youtube, bookmarking helpful videos. Any other suggestions are gratefully appreciated. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Join us for a free webinar to learn how EThOS works. Find out how to search for and download theses, and what to do if a thesis isn?t available. If you?re a PhD student, find out what will happen to your thesis once it?s completed. We?ll also explain how EThOS works with UK universities to support the whole research cycle, making the theses more visible and available for new researchers to use and build on.
