(Jeroen)) Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 11:10:21 +0000 Subject: International survey on scholarly communication - what tools are researchers using? Message-ID: Dear all, Libraries use the web to offer services, but researchers also increasingly use web tools in their research. Do researchers use Google Drive instead of Word? Papers instead of Endnote? Google Scholar instead of Scopus? Megajournals instead of topical journals? ResearchGate instead of repositories? We are engaged in an ongoing effort to chart the evolving landscape of scholarly communication (http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1286826). New tools are constantly being developed, as reflected in our list of 400+ scholarly communication tools (http://bit.ly/innoscholcomm-list). Researchers vote with their feet on these changes by adopting or rejecting new modes of working. With an international survey we intend to investigate how tool usage varies by field, country and position. The survey will run until February 2016. A SURVEY. WHERE? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? If you have not yet done so, please take this graphical survey: https://innoscholcomm.typeform.com/to/Csvr7b?source=ML People tell us it is easy and fun to fill it out by just clicking the tools you use. It takes 8-12 minutes to complete and you can opt to receive a visual characterization of your workflow compared to that of your peer group. FOR WHOM? Anyone carrying out research (from Master's students to professors), or supporting research (such as librarians, publishers and funders) can participate. HOW CAN I HELP? Kind of you to ask! If you want to help make this a success please consider passing it along to people not on this list (researchers, librarians etc.). And yes, feel free to share the link on your website, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc.. More specifically, do you represent an institution/society that wishes to promote this survey among its members? Then please contact us. We can arrange a special URL that will enable us to provide you with resulting data for just your organization. That way you can see what tools your members are using, compared to overall usage patterns. We do the work, you get the (anonymized) data. PRELIMINARY RESULTS We will post preliminary results here: https://101innovations.wordpress.com/ On this site, you can also find background information on the survey. Eventually we will share our (thoroughly anonymized) data. Would you like to work with those data? We are interested to hear what kind of analyses you would like to carry out! Let's discuss.

I have looked at the ACRL standards for academic libraries, and think that I might just apply those, but not all of the performance indicators relate to my work: http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/standardslibraries I don't think this exists, but I'm wondering if maybe you all use standards from some other area. Other standards that relate that I'm considering as benchmarks: accessibility like WCAG, the user experience checklist in this book: http://boisestate.worldcat.org/oclc/878812623 My goal in securing a set of standards is so that I can indicate what percentages of questions are coming up every semester or every year in an annual report to show how needs and interests fluctuate. Thanks in advance for considering this request, and apologies for cross posting, Amy Amy Vecchione, Digital Access Librarian/Associate Professor http://works.bepress.com/amy_vecchione/ Albertsons Library, Boise State University, L212 http://library.boisestate.edu (208) 426-1625 ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2015-05-19 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Developed by an international team of experts, PREMIS is implemented in digital preservation projects around the world, and support for PREMIS is incorporated into a number of commercial and open-source digital preservation tools and systems. The PREMIS Editorial Committee coordinates revisions and implementation of the standard, which consists of the Data Dictionary, an XML schema, and supporting documentation. The PREMIS Data Dictionary is currently in version 2.2. A new major release 3.0 is due out this summer. This webinar gives a brief overview of why digital preservation metadata is needed, shows examples of digital preservation metadata, shows how PREMIS can be used to capture this metadata, and illustrates some of the changes that will be available in version 3.0. *SPEAKER:* Dr. Angela Dappert is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Portsmouth. She has widely researched and published on digital preservation. She has consulted for archives and libraries on digital life cycle management and policies, led and conducted research in the EU-co-funded Planets, Scape, TIMBUS, and E-ARK projects, and applied digital preservation practice at the British Library through work on digital repository implementation, digital metadata standards, digital asset registration, digital asset ingest, preservation risk assessment, planning and characterization, and data carrier stabilization. Angela holds a Ph.D. in Digital Preservation, an M.Sc. in Medical Informatics and an M.Sc. in Computer Sciences. She serves on the PREMIS Editorial Committee and the Digital Preservation Programme Board of National Records Scotland.

As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content. One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted. Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to ?pair? devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise. In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with server side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users. Topics and speakers are: ? *RESS*: *Responsive Web Design + Server Side Components - **Marty Picco*, Vice President of Product Management, Atypon ? *Providing Information across Multiple Devices to the Public Health Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities - Hathy Simpson*, MPH, Public Health Information Specialist, Project Coordinator, Public Health Partners Website Project, National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region (NN/LM NER), University of Massachusetts Medical School and *Lisa Sedlar*, Librarian, National Information Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR), National Library of Medicine ? *User Experience (UX) and User Centered Design -* *Bobby Foster*, Director of User Experience & Design, Health Learning, Research & Practice, Wolters Kluwer *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on May 13.

I am looking for standards that apply to the parts of library work that cover emerging tech, web sites, maker stuff, and/or user experience. I have looked at the ACRL standards for academic libraries, and think that I might just apply those, but not all of the performance indicators relate to my work: http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/standardslibraries I don't think this exists, but I'm wondering if maybe you all use standards from some other area. Other standards that relate that I'm considering as benchmarks: accessibility like WCAG, the user experience checklist in this book: http://boisestate.worldcat.org/oclc/878812623 My goal in securing a set of standards is so that I can indicate what percentages of questions are coming up every semester or every year in an annual report to show how needs and interests fluctuate.

I avoid Foxit after it started changing my default browser search engine and requiring that I install the Ask toolbar without allowing opt-out. This was several years ago. Others have complained about this behavior: http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/forum/portable-document-format-pdf-tools/foxit-reader/18349-does-foxit-reader-free-6-1-4-0217-have-malware I switched to PDF Xchange Viewer ( http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer). Also, Google Chrome includes a PDF reader. 2. Several operating systems have built-in PDF viewers (Windows 8.1 has the Reader app; Mac OS X has Preview). 3. Once in a blue moon I find a PDF that does not open in an alternative PDF reader. For those cases I install Adobe Reader on one system, then remove it.

Workshop on Digital Scientific Communication (WDSC2015) @TPDL2015 Message-ID: [*** Apologies for cross-posting ***] ****************************************************************** Third Int. Workshop on Digital Scientific Communication (WDSC 2015) Reuse, Sharing, and Assessment of All Research Products Pozna?, Poland, September 18th, 2015 Web site: http://wdsc2015.research-infrastructures.eu/ E-mail: wdsc2015 at isti.cnr.it Twitter: @WDSC2015 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 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.

The world of technical services is more complex than ever before, presenting challenges to the veteran and new librarian alike. The ALCTS Technical Services Managers in Academic Libraries Interest Group invites you to join us Saturday, June 27th in the Moscone Convention Center room 2012 (W) from 8:30-10:00 am to discuss these challenges and brainstorm solutions. Join your colleagues at roundtables featuring topics such as: - Technical Services Managers as project managers - Institutional Repositories: Who, What, When, Where, ?Why? - The Sudden Acquisitions Librarian: What do I do now? - What qualities and skills does a leader in Technical Services need today vs ten years ago? - Are there resources for which it is appropriate to rely on your discovery layer rather than cataloging them? - What new services/products are challenging the tools and/or talent of Technical Services today? We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
