If you?re planning to read it online or on an e-device, you may prefer the 37-page one-column 6?9? edition, available at http://citesandinsights.info/civ15i7on.pdf (Thanks to a change in software support, both versions should show boldface, have working hyperlinks, and have bookmarks.) The issue includes: The Front: The Open Access Landscape: An Interim View pp. 1-4 There?s a new ebook and book out, containing all of the Open Access Landscape subject chapters?but with more material as well. You can?t buy it as such, but a small donation to Cites & Insights will get you a link to the PDF and another link to pick up the 202-page (186+xvi) paperback for $7. You can donate at the Cites & Insights home page. (Also: Chapter 16 to show what?s included, and some notes about the PDF changes in this issue.)

Also the first ?Thinking about Libraries and Access? (from nine years ago) and some brief notes. Perspective: A Few Words, Part 1 pp. 11-20 Twenty years ago (as of ALA Annual, that is), I was pleasantly surprised with an unexpected award. This ?essay? consists of anywhere from a sentence to a paragraph of (nearly all) my books and articles leading up to that award?from 1976 through 1994 in pretty much chronological order.

Since 2014, this priority has gaining momentum with the Global Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN). Typical small and medium-size institutions have to deal with constrained resources, which often hamper their possibilities for making their data publicly available. Keizer and Caracciolo will provide an overview of bottlenecks that institutions typically face when entering the world of open and linked data, and will provide recommendations on how to proceed. They will also discuss the use of standard and linked vocabularies to produce linked data, especially in the area of agriculture. They will describe AGRISAs, a web-based resource linking agricultural datasets as an example of linked data application resulting from the collaboration of small institutions. They will also mention AgriDrupal, a Drupal distribution that supports the production and consumption of linked datasets. This webinar will be of interest to any institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data World. *Redux: This is an update of a webinar first presented in 2013*. *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* *Johannes Keizer *has worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN since 1998, primarily as head of the FAO documentation group. The bibliographic database AGRIS and the multilingual concept scheme AGROVOC were completely remodeled under his leadership.

Message-ID: My company's (special) library, which serves both Academy staff and external patrons, keeps track of research requests in a variety of different ways, but would like to consolidate on a single way. Research requests come in through one of these methods: an e-reference form (for external patrons); a staff-only form; by phone; by email; or in-person (walk up to the reference desk). For the requests that are non-form-originated, staff receiving the requests manage them either in email or in another method of their own devising. I am considering using Google forms to capture the requests, and I would create one interface for patron requests, a second one for staff requests, and possibly a third one for staff who are handling the requests; all request and resolution data would go to the same place. Before I do that, I would like to hear what methods or systems are in use at other special libraries, or any libraries with similar requirements. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and apologies for cross-posting. [?] Zoe Friedlander Head of Library Systems Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Information Technology 333 S.

In-Reply-To: <5DBDFB0FE68E5C4F8CBBB6680AFB73BA01C96750DE@Server36.oscars.local> Message-ID: We've been using Gimlet for the past two years, and it's working very well for us. We have it set up to track the type of request (reference, circulation, directions etc), the patron type (student, faculty, staff, guest), submission method (live, email, phone) and time required, as well as request date and time. I believe all these options can easily be configured to fit whatever suits a particular library. I'm the librarian at a small branch campus, located about 50 miles from our main campus. This Gimlet account is shared by my whole workgroup, which includes staff at 4 branches (usually a librarian and an assistant at each) plus our supervisor and her assistant at the main campus. The account belongs to our supervisor and the online input form includes information about which location is answering the question and who worked on it. The main campus library has a separate but similar Gimlet account that they use, with slightly different categories for their questions. My supervisor like this a lot, because it allows her to easily compile and track statistics for each campus or the entire workgroup, and to compare them with the statistics from the main library.

Alongside the new membership model, OPF has also established a software supporter model to ensure the sustainability and future development of open source software tools in its stewardship. ?Over the last year the OPF has established a solid foundation for ensuring the sustainability of digital preservation technology and knowledge?? explains Dr. Ross King, Chair of the OPF Board. ?Our new strategic plan was introduced in November 2014 along with community surveys to establish the current state of the art. We developed our annual plan in consultation with our members and added JHOVE to our growing software portfolio. The new membership and software supporter models are the next steps towards realising our vision and mission.? ?We are an international not-for-profit organisation? adds Ed Fay, Executive Director of OPF. ?We carry out a range of activities to meet our members? priorities but we also support a number of digital preservation services and tools which are open to the whole community. These all require time and resources to sustain. It is only through commitment and contributions from our members and supporters that we are able to continue our work to sustain digital preservation technology and knowledge. We look forward to welcoming new collaborators who share this commitment to advancing digital preservation.? The new membership model opens participation to organisations of all sizes. The membership tiers are based on the annual operating budget of your organisation. Membership is available in two categories: Charter and Affiliate. Charter members steer our strategy and annual planning. They also benefit from exclusive or priority access to our interest groups, training and events, and support in adopting and maintaining our open source software products. Affiliate members have access to the outputs of our activities and may choose to contribute effort in lieu of subscription fees to further digital preservation for the benefit of the community. The software supporter model allows organisations to support individual digital preservation software products and ensure their ongoing sustainability and maintenance. We are launching support for JHOVE based on its broad adoption and need for active stewardship. It is also a component in several leading commercial digital preservation solutions. While it remains fully open source, supporters can steer our stewardship and maintenance activities and receive varying levels of technical support and training.

In this 4-week course you will build a Drupal site from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience with Drupal core tools and concepts. We will pay special attention to Drupal features as they relate to the specific organizational needs of libraries and library web services. This is an introductory level course, and though familiarity with HTML and CSS will be helpful, they are not required. Each student will get a free development account with a cloud-based Drupal service and will have continued access to their course website after the course finishes. Learning outcomes: - Ability to build a website in Drupal 7. - Hands-on experience using Drupal core features: fields, nodes, modules, blocks, menus, users, and themes. - Knowledge of Drupal in the context of designing and managing library websites. Caleb Tucker-Raymond is a freelance web developer in Portland, Oregon specializing in connecting library systems to the Drupal content management system. Before that he worked as a public and academic librarian for 14 years in systems, reference, and the intersection of the two. He earned his MSLIS with Simmons College. This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register in this course through the first week of instruction.

Check out the LITA User Experience IG Meeting. We will have the following three 10-min. presentations and Q&A (5 min). We will also have discussion time for any UX topics on-site. If you have any UX-related topics you would like to discuss, please bring them with you! Rocket Surgery for the Recent MLS: Use the skills you already know to become a lean, mean UX machine - Jennie Rose Halperin - Safari When first tasked with defining a qualitative research roadmap for Safari Books Online this year, I was shocked to discover how much I used the skills I learned in my MLS and experience as a reference librarian, from usability testing to proper survey protocol to distinguishing what users want versus what they're asking for. User experience and research is an obvious career choice for the recent MLIS graduate, and learning the basics (and jargon) of UX is often a book, podcast, or blog post away. In my talk, I will discuss the resources I found most useful as I entered the field of user and design research as well as highlight common popular tools, patterns, and methods I use at an Agile company that can translate to libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. I'll also emphasize how the common sense skills that librarians possess are an asset and a weapon in the field of usability and user research. Slaying usability dragons often takes little more than a love of documentation, excellent organizational skills, and a lot of confidence. Librarians are uniquely positioned to be UX leaders, and I hope that this talk can help those who want to transition their skills in the library world and beyond. How do you talk to a building? How does it respond? Understanding in-building user needs and communications channels at NCSU's D.H. Hill Library - Andreas Kyriacos Orphanides - NCSU Libraries At D.H. Hill Library, staff oversee a diverse set of spaces and services, as well as technology channels to communicate information to users. Many of these channels are exclusive to in-building interaction, such as e-boards, touchscreens, physical signage, and computer kiosks. Staff also manage "universal" channels (e.g., our website) that are used both in the building and remotely. Despite this communication infrastructure, we have never systematically evaluated how user needs manifest within the building, how the information we provide addresses these needs, and whether and how this information is received and understood. In short, how users "talk" to the building -- and how it responds. In 2014, we initiated a series of user studies to better understand in-building user needs and evaluate our communication channels and content. Our goal is to ensure that our user-facing communications provide an "epistemological roadmap" for successfully navigating the building's spaces and services. To date, we have completed 3 studies and have implemented changes based on their findings; we will launch several more studies in upcoming months. This presentation will share our strategies, methodologies, and outcomes for understanding in-building user needs and responding to them effectively. Card Sorting, One small step forward - Allison Deluca, Systems Librarian at Florida Atlantic University Card sorting may be the gateway user testing your library needs to begin a website redesign. Step-by-step, I will go over the process I used to begin my user testing experience at my own library, Florida Atlantic University. User testing opened our eyes to a new way of looking at our own website and our patrons. While we suspected our patrons didn't understand our jargon, or how to navigate the website efficiently, we were floored with the results of each and every user test we conducted. Deciding to conduct this user testing has been one small step forward for our library and I'm more than happy to share my experience so that others can benefit. -- Bohyun Kim, MA, MSLIS Associate Director for Library Applications and Knowledge Systems University of Maryland, Baltimore Health Sciences and Human Services Library ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-06-10 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since 2014, this priority has gaining momentum with the Global Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition initiative (GODAN). Typical small and medium-size institutions have to deal with constrained resources, which often hamper their possibilities for making their data publicly available. Keizer and Caracciolo will provide an overview of bottlenecks that institutions typically face when entering the world of open and linked data, and will provide recommendations on how to proceed. They will also discuss the use of standard and linked vocabularies to produce linked data, especially in the area of agriculture. They will describe AGRISAs, a web-based resource linking agricultural datasets as an example of linked data application resulting from the collaboration of small institutions. They will also mention AgriDrupal, a Drupal distribution that supports the production and consumption of linked datasets. This webinar will be of interest to any institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data World. *Redux:* This is an update of a webinar first presented in 2013. *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* Johannes Keizer has worked for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN since 1998, primarily as head of the FAO documentation group. The bibliographic database AGRIS and the multilingual concept scheme AGROVOC were completely remodeled under his leadership. In the Office of Knowledge Exchange, Research and Extensions, he heads a staff of 20?the AIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards and Services) team?which provides standards, tools, and advice for FAO stakeholders. The AIMS Team provides the technical backbone for the global Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) Initiative. Through EC framework projects such as NeON, D2Science, and agINFRA, the AIMS Team has channeled the results of innovative European research into the international work of FAO to combat hunger and poverty in the world. Caterina Caracciolo, PhD, has served as an Information Specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) since 2006. Currently, she is responsible for the AGROVOC Concept Scheme, and participates in the GACS Working Group and the Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group (RDA). Her main interest lay in the area of semantics for data integration and sharing, with a special focus on data specific to the domains of agriculture, biodiversity, natural science and environment in the broad sense. She regularly serves on program committees for international conferences and publishes in conference proceedings and journals in the area of semantic web and information sharing in agriculture and biodiversity. She has worked in various EC-funded projects and served as also served as Work Package leader in the NeOn and SemaGrow projects. *For more information and to register, visit* http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/DCMI_Handbook/webinars#keizer. *Register now for FREE at* https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4753836746115031554. *If you have already registered for the original date/time of this webinar, you do not need to re-register. * ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-06-15 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you have Summon, call it what it is to the user: article search or better yet, don't use a name at all if you can. Someone will see the search box and type in it. I see groups get all caught up in naming something and putting big logos on it, and it doesn't improve the user experience (unless it truly clarifies what it does, e.g. "article search" if it only does article searches). So, my recommendation would be nothing, or if it is to replace most of your search interface and needs a label that isn't just "search" or "find" as a submit button label, then perhaps "search our collections"? (Not sure I like that one). Keep it simple. :-) In peace, Amy M.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 30th issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the 30th issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid October, 2015, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal at code4lib.org (mailto:journal at code4lib.org) by Monday, August 17, 2015. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message. The Code4Lib Journal encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical) * Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and challenges faced * Case studies * Best practices * Reviews * Comparisons of third party software or libraries * Analyses of library metadata for use with technology * Project management and communication within the library environment * Assessment and user studies C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 29 issues published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org (http://journal.code4lib.org/). Remember, for consideration for the 30th issue, please send proposals, abstracts, or draft articles to journal at code4lib.org (mailto:journal at code4lib.org) no later than Monday, August 17, 2015.

User experience and research is an obvious career choice for the recent MLIS graduate, and learning the basics (and jargon) of UX is often a book, podcast, or blog post away. In my talk, I will discuss the resources I found most useful as I entered the field of user and design research as well as highlight common popular tools, patterns, and methods I use at an Agile company that can translate to libraries and other cultural heritage institutions. I'll also emphasize how the common sense skills that librarians possess are an asset and a weapon in the field of usability and user research. Slaying usability dragons often takes little more than a love of documentation, excellent organizational skills, and a lot of confidence. Librarians are uniquely positioned to be UX leaders, and I hope that this talk can help those who want to transition their skills in the library world and beyond. Card Sorting, One small step forward Allison Deluca, Systems Librarian at Florida Atlantic University, adeluca at fau.edu Description: Card sorting may be the gateway user testing your library needs to begin a website redesign. Step-by-step, I will go over the process I used to begin my user testing experience at my own library, Florida Atlantic University. User testing opened our eyes to a new way of looking at our own website and our patrons. While we suspected our patrons didn't understand our jargon, or how to navigate the website efficiently, we were floored with the results of each and every user test we conducted. Deciding to conduct this user testing has been one small step forward for our library and I'm more than happy to share my experience so that others can benefit. #litaUX Monthly Chat by the UX IG and Weave Bohyun Kim - LITA UX chair/ AD at University of Maryland, Baltimore HS/HSL, bkim at hshsl.umaryland.edu Did you know that the LITA UX IG holds a monthly Twitter chat #litaUX with the editors of Weave, a library UX journal?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I do agree with the point that having a custom name doesn?t help usability. But one thought we had was that perhaps giving it a specific type of name (like OneSearch, MegaSearch, etc.) indicates they?re searching many databases at once. Perhaps going with something like ?Library Search? as your library is doing Erin, makes more sense. Good stuff for our team to think about.

In total agreement with Amy. At VCU we decided that naming things doesn't really help usability and seems kind of old-school. We call ours search, or VCU Libraries Search if we are feeling fancy.

The ODI Standing Committee has released templates for these checklists (available from http://www.niso.org/workrooms/odi/conformance) in an effort to encourage the release of ODI conformance statements by content providers and discovery service providers. Such statements outline the degree to which a provider?s services conform to the June 2014 Recommended Practice RP-19-2014 . This is an important first step in providing data in a consistent, standardized way so that libraries can better assess content providers? participation in discovery services. If you are a publisher, content provider, or discovery provider, we urge you to work with the ODI Conformance Checklist and publically disclose your level of conformance. We look forward to announcements of the first published ODI conformance statements soon. For convenience and to promote the visibility of these conformance statements, ODI will maintain a directory of published statements at http://www.niso.org/workrooms/odi/conformance.

Message-ID: We currently use Summon but it is branded Eagle Search. The mascot at Tennessee Tech University is Awesome Eagle, hence the "brand." We will most likely be switching our discovery service in the next year or two but I imagine we will maintain the local branding of Eagle Search. Also, as Summon does not index a variety of EBSCO databases and some of the more non-traditional databases that contain primarily images or drug trials (Artstor, Lexicomp, etc.), we maintain a list of databases on our website to show the student what is searched within Eagle Search. If a database is indexed in Summon, we place an eagle head icon next to it. Stephanie J.

Depending on the number and variety of proposals, there will be 5 to 7 sections of 5 to 10 recipes each which describe achievable library assessment projects. Working Book Title: The Library Assessment Cookbook: 50+ recipes for effective assessment. (Chicago: ACRL, Spring 2016) (proposal process at end of email) The goal of this cookbook is to offer practical projects with suggestions for measurable, useable, useful assessment projects. Many libraries have no idea what to assess or what can be assessed. This cookbook will offer hopefully useful ideas and options for library assessment projects. The ultimate goal is a cookbook which any librarian or library administrator can flip open, select a recipe, and adapt a project for their local situation. The usefulness of this cookbook depends on Assessment Chefs (you) proposing and providing tested, workable project plans which can make assessment easier for librarians and more useful for stakeholders. Recipes focusing less on input measures, more on output measures, and especially on outcome measures will receive extra weight. Recipes proposed will guide the development of the sections, with a loose initial organization as follows: ? Introduction to Library Assessment o What it comprises o Why it is so important o What areas can be assessed o Including broad Literature Review covering the topics above ? Five to Ten Sections of five to ten recipes (three to five pages per recpie) ? (introductions for each section including re-summarizing introduction for each section with additional lit review and strategies for incorporating these assessments into planning and reporting processes) o Collection Assessment o Instruction Assessment o Outreach Assessment o Personnel Assessment o Space Assessment o Strategic Planning Assessment o Etc. (additional areas dependent on recipes proposed) ? Summary of Library Assessment o How to frame assessment measures for planning o How to frame assessment measures for reporting o Working with stakeholders to identify appropriate measures If you are interested in proposing a recipe (or several recipes), the recipe proposal format will be something like the following: ? Name & Contact Information ? Quick Summary of Assessment Experience Related to Recipe ? Proposed Recipe Title, Outline, & a couple paragraphs describing the project and its uses If you would like to introduce or summarize a particular section where you have had good experience, please email Aaron (aaron at thelibrarian.org) with your background in that assessment area and outline what you would like to convey in your introduction or summary. To recap the recipe proposal process: ? Recipe Proposals Deadline : due by 8/6/15 o Name & Contact Information o Quick Summary of Assessment Experience Related to Recipe o Proposed Recipe Title, Outline, & a couple paragraphs describing the project and its uses ? Recipe Acceptance Notification : 8/20/15 ? Completed Recipes : due from Authors by 10/15/2015 (earlier is fine) ? Send Proposals to : aaron at thelibrarian.org Email your proposals (in an attachment, preferably) to Aaron Dobbs (aaron at thelibrarian.org) by August 6, 2015. If your proposal is accepted, the final recipe will need to be submitted to by October 15, 2015. My challenge is to have the Library Instruction Cookbook available by ALA Midwinter 2016. My more realistic goal is to have the cookbook available by ALA Annual 2016. Please email me with any questions! -Aaron W.

The *Guidelines* have adopted established standards for different classes of content providers: (1) Dublin Core for textual publications in institutional and thematic repositories; (2) DataCite Metadata Kernel for research data repositories; and (3) CERIF-XML for Current Research Information Systems. The principle of these *Guidelines* is to improve interoperability of bibliographic information exchange between repositories, e-journals, CRIS and research infrastructures. They are a means to help content providers to comply with funders Open Access policies, e.g. the European Commission Open Access mandate in Horizon2020, and to standardize the syntax and semantics of funder/project information, open access status, links between publications and datasets. The presenters will provide an overview of the *Guidelines*, implementation support in major platforms and tools for validation. *ABOUT THE PRESENTERS:* *Pedro Pr?ncipe* is an information specialist at University of Minho Documentation Services (Portugal) on the Open Access Projects Office. He has worked since 2010 in the OpenAIRE projects and infrastructure, in support, helpdesk and dissemination activities. He is member of the OpenAIRE guidelines team and co-author of the OpenAIRE guidelines for data source managers. *Jochen Schirrwagen* is research fellow at Bielefeld University Library, Germany. He has worked since 2008 in the knowledge infrastructure projects DRIVER and OpenAIRE in the fields of metadata management, aggregation and contextualization.

Carpenter, the Executive Director of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO). The Critical Component: Standards in the Information Exchange Environment explores the process of developing information standards, the value of standards for libraries, publishing and the intermediaries that serve both communities. The book is published by ALCTS Publishing and is available in both print and electronic-book format. Carpenter, Nettie Lagace, NISO's Associate Director for Programs, and Cynthia Hodgson, recently retired NISO Editor, all contributed chapters to this publication. "Although we rely on standards every day to access, retrieve, and display digital content, few understand how these critical components in that process are developed or deployed," said Carpenter describing the book's aims. "Many people have commented to me that the development of standards is a procedural 'black box' -something that is difficult to comprehend or navigate. By creating this work, we hope to illuminate that process as well as describe the necessary role that standards play in our digital content ecosystem." "As the first ALCTS Monograph, this publication sets a high bar of content and form for the series, including a newly accessible epub format for our publication program," said Jeanne Drewes, ALCTS Monographs Editor. The idea for this book came from the NISO emails that I had received over the years from Cindy Hepfer, then the ALCTS representative to NISO. Her "standards" outreach to the library community was the seed for the need and she was instrumental in connecting ALCTS to the NISO team that brought this idea into reality." The book includes chapters on: the overall need for standards in content distribution; the formality of standards; the process and players involved in standards development; the description of information objects, digital preservation, identifiers, marketing standards, getting involved in the process as well as the future needs for information standards. Following each chapter is a case study describing real-world implications of these themes. In addition to Carpenter, Lagace, and Hodgson, many esteemed industry thought-leaders contributed to the book including: - Norman Paskin, International DOI Foundation - Regina Romano Reynolds, Library of Congress - Diane I. Hillmann, Metadata Management Associates - Lisa Gregory, North Carolina Digital Heritage Center - Bill Kasdorf, Apex Content Solutions - Janifer Gatenby, OCLC - Adam Chandler, Cornell University Library - George Kerscher, DAISY Consortium - Laura Dawson, ProQuest - Marshall Breeding, Library Technology Guides Founder & Editor - Ted Koppel, Auto-Graphics - Kate Witteberg, Portico and many others. "In fact, everyone who inhabits any sector of the global information ecosystem should be interested in and at least minimally knowledgeable about standards. Twenty-first century libraries, information services and publications of all kinds simply wouldn't be usable without the support of standards," wrote Cindy Hepfer, recently retired librarian at State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, in her Introduction. The Critical Component: Standards in the Information Exchange Environment is now available in print (ISBN13: 978-0-8389-8744-5) from the ALA Annual Conference Store in San Francisco and from the ALA Store online: http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=11483.

Workshop on Digital Scientific Communication Message-ID: [*** Apologies for cross-posting ***] PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: 12th of July 2015 ****************************************************************** Third Int. Workshop on Digital Scientific Communication (WDSC 2015) Reuse, Sharing, and Assessment of All Research Products **** Co-sponsored by OpenAIRE and Research Data Alliance Europe **** Pozna?, Poland, September 18th, 2015 Web site: http://wdsc2015.research-infrastructures.eu/ E-mail: wdsc2015 at isti.cnr.it In conjunction with the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2015) Proceedings published as special issue of the D-Lib Magazine Journal (http://www.dlib.org) ******************************************************************* ###### Workshop Objectives ###### The Workshop in Digital Scientific Communication (WDSC) aims at addressing all issues arising in the attempt of revising current scientific communication practices and surrounding or related ICT or RI technologies in order to deliver to scientists a complete picture of existing research results. The main motivations and challenges are the identification of solutions for partly or fully sharing scope and/or results of the scientific process in order to maximize reusability, accessibility, and assessment of research activities. WDSC takes over the LCPD workshop series (held in Malta 2013 and London 2014, in conjunction with TPDL conferences) from a broader perspective and as such it becomes its natural continuation. ###### Workshop topics ###### The topics of this workshop are of interest to, but not limited to, the following research avenues: * Classification (models and ontologies), description (e.g. metadata), identity management, of products of science different from the traditional article * Representing, exchanging, sharing, assessing (peer-reviewing), depositing, preserving products different from the traditional article * Interlinking and contextualization: mining techniques, LOD, data models, relationships (citation, versioning), etc. * Findability of products of science: indexing, searching, browsing challenges * Controlled access (e.g. anonymization, role-driven views) * New publishing workflows for products different from the traditional article ###### Special theme ###### Although not mandatory, this year?s edition will also include a special focus on the ?publishing of scientific experiments?, i.e. any scientific products intended to convey and describe the scientific process (i.e. experiment) in such a way it can be ?repeated? by others. Special themes include, but are not limited to: * Identification, representation, description (metadata), deposition, preservation, evaluation, and interoperability for experiments * Enabling repetition (?same experiment, same laboratory?), replication (?same experiment, different laboratory?), reproduction (?same experiment, different input parameters?), or re-use of experiments (?use as parts of other experiments?) * Interlinking (and contextualizing) with other products of science, e.g. datasets, articles. * Research datasets, articles, and other product of research conceived to support experiment ?publishing?, e.g. executable papers, electronic notebooks, software journals, Elsevier?s ?article of the future?, software publishing, datasets embedding services. ###### Paper Submission ###### Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers. Submitted manuscripts will have to be in the range of 4000-5000 words and edited with OpenOffice Writer or Microsoft Word, following the "Matters of style" section in the author guidelines for D-Lib Magazine. Papers submitted to the workshop will undergo a single-blind peer-review process by Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be published as a special issue of the D-Lib Magazine journal, in the first Quarter of 2016. To be published on the proceedings, accepted contributions should be revised according to the reviews and consider the feedbacks from the workshops. Moreover, at least one author is required to register and present the paper at the workshop. ###### Submission System ###### Research papers must be submitted via the workshop submission system, available at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wdsc2015 ###### Important dates ###### Research paper submission: July 5th, 2015 - 23:59 CET Extended paper submission deadline: July 12th, 2015 - 23:59 CET Notification of acceptance: July 24th, 2015 Revised paper re-submission: after workshop date, to be agreed with D-Lib Magazine Workshop day: September 18th, 2015 ###### Workshop Organisers ###### - Lukasz Bolikowski, ICM, University of Warsaw, Poland - Paolo Manghi, Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (ISTI), National Research Council - (CNR), Pisa, Italy - Jochen Schirrwagen, Bielefeld University Library, Germany ---- Paolo Manghi Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione "A.
