Australian Memory of the World: The big search is on!
Alan Howell [ahowell@alanhowell.com.au] Thu 1/03/2007 1:20 PM amwlist@alanhowell.com.au
Dear colleagues
Australian Memory of the
World: the big search is on! New inscriptions to the UNESCO Australian Memory
of the World Register are being sought.
With apologies for the
cross-posting of this message to a number of discussion lists, members of this
list may be interested to know that owners and custodians of nationally
significant documentary heritage material are invited to submit nominations for
entry on the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Register for 2008.
Nominations will be
professionally assessed against selection criteria.
Custodians of material
deemed to be of national significance will be presented with certificates of inscription
at a ceremony early in 2008.
The UNESCO Australian Memory
of the World program, which operates under the auspices of the Australian
National Commission for UNESCO, is part of an international UNESCO program that
aims to preserve and provide access to the world's most significant documentary
heritage, and to raise awareness of its existence and significance.
International, regional and
national registers comprise important components of the program. They list
precious items of world significance in the same way as the UNESCO World
Heritage List identifies precious natural sites and buildings.
Documentary heritage
reflects the diversity of peoples, languages and cultures. It is the mirror of
the world and its memory. Communities
are dependent on their memories to survive and advance. Much of this has been recorded in an
increasing variety of documentary formats. And increasingly these original
documents are at risk. Information has never been created and lost as quickly
as it is today.
Nineteen outstanding
collections and documents, deemed by UNESCO to comprise precious and
irreplaceable parts of
The Endeavour Journal of
Captain James Cook.
The Mabo Case Manuscripts.
The Walter Burley
The archival records of the
Australian Agricultural Company, one of Australia¹s oldest surviving commercial
entities.
The Cinesound Movietone
collection of weekly cinema newsreels from 1931 to
1975: a living record of
Constitutional documents: an
assembly of key items charting the development of Australian democracy.
Convict records.
Ned Kelly papers.
Yirrkala drawings a
collection of unique historical cultural materials from
Captain Cook's Journal and
the Mabo papers are also on the UNESCO Memory of the World International
Register along with 128 other entries from 59 countries including the New
Zealand 1893 Women's Suffrage Petition; Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll House"
and the Leprosy Archives of Bergen both from Norway; the Human Rights Archive
from Chile and Fritz Lang's 1927 motion picture METROPOLIS from Germany.
To qualify for inclusion on
the register, documentary heritage - on paper, in books and recordings, on
film, photographs or in a digital format - must be authentic, unique and
irreplaceable.
Inscription confers many
benefits - it enables the use of the prestigious UNESCO logo, it brings the
material to public attention, and it strengthens advocacy for improved care and
preservation of the material.
Nominations close on 22 June
2007 and full details are available at http://www.amw.org.au

Canadian Legal Deposit over-rules DRM

Centuries-Old Library
Program Enters the 21st Century Tuesday January 16, 2007 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1612/159/
Appeared in the Ottawa
Citizen on January 16, 2007 as Centuries-Old Library Program Enters the 21st
Century
In 1537, French King Francis
I launched an ambitious initiative to collect and preserve all documents
published in
Over the past 54 years, the
system has gradually expanded, adding serial publications in 1965, sound recordings
in 1969, multi-media kits in 1978, microforms in 1988, CD-ROMs and video
recordings in 1993, and electronic publications on all types of physical
formats in 1995. While enforcement of legal deposit is viewed as a last resort,
the Criminal Code includes
provisions for those
publishers that fail to comply.
With little fanfare, the
rules for legal deposit have gradually been adapted to the Internet and digital
technologies. In 2004, the government
granted the Library and Archives Canada, the successor the National Library,
the right to sample web pages in an effort to preserve noteworthy Canadian
websites. The Internet sampling
provision has been used to gather copies of political party websites as well as
a handful of notable blogs.
As of January 1st of this
year, the rules have changed yet again as Canadian Heritage Minister Bev Oda
introduced new regulations to accommodate the emergence of online publications
and to address the concerns raised by digital technologies that potentially
impede access.
The regulations broadly
define publisher as any person "who makes a publication available in
Instead, the rules focus on
online material that is considered to be in "publication" form. The LAC notes that online publications
usually have a distinct title, a specific author or authoring body, a specific
date and are intended for public consumption. Examples include books, magazines, annual reports, research papers, and
scholarly journals.
As part of the deposit
process, publishers can choose between open access, which allows the public to
view and download the publication through the Internet, or restricted access,
which limits public access to selected computer terminals at the LAC's main
building in
The latest changes will
require many online-only publishers to begin submitting their publications to
the LAC. The rules disappointingly stop
short of requiring all publishers to submit electronic versions of paper-based
documents, however. Such a requirement
should be considered in the future to facilitate the creation of a national
digital library.
The new rules also address
mounting concern about the potential impact of digital locks (known as digital
rights management or DRM) to deny future generations access to the publications
in digital form. DRM has been viewed as
a threat by many within the library community, who fear that they and their
patrons may literally be locked out of digital works as DRM systems are used to
restrict otherwise legitimate access or become obsolete.
In response,
any "meta-data"
associated with the electronic publication.
These regulations mark the
first time that the Canadian government has stepped in to protect the public
interest against the potential negative consequences of DRM. Given these new legal deposit program
provisions, thousands of libraries across
25 percent of library
budgets.
The policy goal of legal
deposit - namely preservation of a country's published heritage for present and
future generations - has remained largely unchanged over the past 470
years. The latest developments help
ensure that the program is as effective in the digital world as it was in the
day of King Francis I.

CERL and ECPA publish report that explains persistent identifier schemes

Traditionally, references to
web content have been made by using URL hyperlinks. However, as links are
'broken' when content is moved to another location, a reference system based on
URLs is inherently unstable and poses risks for continued access to web
resources. To create a more reliable system for referring to published material
on the web, from the mid-1990s a number of schemes have been developed that use
name spaces to identify resources, enabling retrieval even if the location on
the web is unknown.
A recently published report
explains the principle of persistent identifiers and helps institutions decide
which scheme would best fit their needs. It discusses Handles, Digital Object
Identifiers (DOIs), Archival Resource Keys (ARKs), Persistent Uniform Resource
Locators (PURLs), Uniform Resource Names (URNs), National Bibliography Numbers
(NBNs), and the Open URL, providing examples and extensive references for each.
The report was written by

13/01/2007 6:12 AM
Dear friends,
The eIFL Handbook on
Copyright and Related Issues for Libraries has recently been launched.
Sponsored by the UNESCO Information for All Programme, this is a practical
guide to topical legal questions affecting the information work of libraries in
the fast moving digital environment. Each topic is described briefly, the main
policy aspects for libraries are outlined, and there are links to library
policy statements for further reading. Where there are special issues for developing
or transition countries, these are covered. The topics are
- the Relationship between
Copyright and Contract Law: Electronic Resources and Library Consortia;
- Technological Protection
Measures - the "triple lock";
- Copyright, the Duration of
Protection and the Public Domain;
- Orphaned works;
- Collective Rights
Management;
- Public lending right;
- the Database Right -
- Creative Commons: an
"open content" licence;
- Open Access to Scholarly
Communications;
- Copyright and Trade
Agreements;
- International Policy
Making: a Development Agenda for WIPO;
- National Policy Making:
Advocating for Fair Copyright Laws.
Please circulate this
message to your lists. The complete Handbook, as well as the individual topics,
are available for download on the eIFL
website: http://www.eifl.net/services/handbook.htm
We encourage translations
and re-use.
I hope the Handbook is
useful and I will be glad of any feedback.

Dear Colleague,
This year marks the 15th
Anniversary of GreyNet's founding, 1992-2007.
Organizations in more than
50 countries worldwide both in the public and private sector have affiliation
with the Grey Literature Network Service.
This affiliation is either
through individuals or teams of professionals working on behalf of their
respective organizations.
Over the last years,
GreyNet’s main activity has evolved to 'corporate authorship' of electronic and
print publications as well as web resources.
Among these include:
· The Grey Journal (TGJ), An
International Journal on Grey Literature · GL-Conference Proceedings ·
GL-Conference Program and Abstract Books · GL-Conference Memoranda · GreySource
Index, A Selection of web-based resources in Grey Literature · GreyText
Archive, E-documents in the Field of Grey Literature · Whois in the Field of
Grey Literature · Project Information Documents, PIDs · Etc.
GreyNet is conscious of the
fact that these valuable resources are made possible only through the
intellectual and financial contributions of leading organizations in the field
of grey literature. These organizations fulfill a role that is beyond
sponsorship, because they are responsible for the continuity and further
development of GreyNet’s content base.
If your organization is
actively involved in the field of grey literature or is interested in becoming
more involved in this field of information, please consider Associate
Membership early on in this Anniversary Year!

ANNOUNCING: H-Memory: Memory
Studies
<http://www.h-net.org/~memory/>
Member of: H-Net: Humanities
and Social Sciences Online <http://www.h-net.org>
H-Memory is a discussion
network open to all academics and researchers concerned with Memory Studies.
This inter-disciplinary field interests itself in how humans remember and
represent that memory, be it through literature, monuments, historical works,
or in their own private lives. It is closely related to the studies of genocide
and the Holocaust, collective memory and testimony, war and colonialism,
nationalist myth-making, oral history, trauma, and it incorporates such
disciplines as: History, Art History, Psychology, Sociology, Literature, and
Anthropology.
The aim of this list is to
bring together the diverse group of people working on topics relating to Memory
Studies that might not otherwise find each other due to the wide scope and
myriad of disciplines that the field covers. Through informal but thoughtful
email-based discussions, memory academics can bounce ideas and questions off of
each other, as well as review the myriad of new works that are emerging in the
field, in order to give context and perspective to them. The network is also a
valuable resource for distributing various calls for papers and other
announcements related to Memory Studies. We hope that such a central and open
resource will be valuable to those of us working in this diverse and sometimes
scattered field, and from which new thought and literature emerges daily.
Check out the resources list
at:
<http://www.h-net.org/~memory/resources.html> Suggestions for additions are welcome.
Like all H-Net lists,
H-Memory is moderated to edit out material that, in the editors' opinion, is
not germane to the list, involves technical matters (such as subscription
management requests), is inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common,
standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's procedure for resolving disputes over
list editorial practices is Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:

IMLS Requests Proposals to
Purchase, Promote, and Distribute a Conservation Bookshelf
Deadline: April 12, 2007
The Conservation Bookshelf
will address topics such as guidance for conservation of specific types of
objects; conservation treatment; planning; disaster readiness; culturally
specific conservation issues; and conservation of living collections. The
Institute's goal is to provide basic texts and resources free of charge to a
broad spectrum of library, museum, and archive staff based on a simple
application.
"Libraries and museums
that apply for the Conservation Bookshelf, an important collection of reference
materials, demonstrate their commitment to conservation and preservation. This
will inspire others to undertake this serious work and help us continue to
fight the good fight," said IMLS Director Anne-Imelda Radice, Ph.D. The
IMLS launched its Connecting to Collections initiative in response to the
Heritage Health Index, a 2005 study on the dire state of the nation's
collections conducted by Heritage Preservation in partnership with the IMLS
(see www.heritagepreservation.org/hhi).
In addition to the Conservation Bookshelf, the initiative includes:
* A
national conservation summit to be held in
* Four conservation forums to take place in
cities across the nation beginning in the fall of 2007 and continuing through
the summer of 2009.
* Planning grants to each state and
territory for the purpose of creating conservation/preservation plans that
address the recommendations of the Heritage Health Index.
About the
The Institute's mission is
to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and
ideas. The Institute works at the national level and in coordination with state
and local organizations to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge; enhance
learning and innovation; and support professional development. To learn more

IMLS Launches New
Conservation Initiative
Collections: The IMLS
Conservation Initiative. In her keynote address to the annual meeting of
Heritage Preservation, Dr. Radice described key components of the initiative,
which will be the centerpiece of the Institute's tenth anniversary year.
"Our nation's
collections are an essential part of the American story, and I feel a profound
responsibility to make care of collections as much a part of the nation's
consciousness as the care of our natural environment," said Dr. Radice.
"With this new initiative, we will raise public awareness about the value
of these collections and provide momentum that can be leveraged in leadership
activities by other federal agencies, state and local officials, and private
funders. If we work together, the next time we take the temperature of our
heritage's health we will find the patient much improved."
The launch of Connecting to
Collections follows the release earlier this year of "A Public Trust at
Risk: A Report of the Heritage Health Index,"
a study conducted by
Heritage Preservation in partnership with IMLS that identified severe
inadequacies in current collections care practices and outlined steps to help
remedy the problem.
Dr. Radice outlined three
components of the new IMLS initiative:
* A national conservation summit to be held
in
2007 followed by regional
summits which will begin in the fall of 2007 and continue through the fall of
2008.
* A "conservation bookshelf" that
will comprise core texts in collections care and be made available to all
summit participants and, through a streamlined competitive process, be
distributed annually.
* $500,000 in grants to create statewide
plans to address the issues raised in the Heritage Health Index.

Radice's keynote address at www.imls.gov/news/speeches/111506.shtm.

"The goal of a library
is to assist users by satisfying their needs and requirements for management,
access, storage, and manipulation of the variety of information stored in the
collection of material that represents the holdings of the library. The key to
effective library collections management is to implement simple structural
organizations and be able to present those organizations in a way that library
users find useful and can understand easily.
The present book provides a
comprehensive description of collection management principles and practices
followed in modern library situations.
It attempts to forecast the
increasingly complex and dynamic interplay between the evolving system of
scholarly communication and the collection management function of
libraries."

"Gone are the days when
libraries were storehouses of books. Information Technology has changed the
today's environment of libraries in a big way with the current thrust on
digital information. With the development of digital information and a
knowledge society, libraries are changing their role from document provider to
information provider. The need of the hour is to provide authentic information
in split second. Internet explosion paves the way for the same. The impact of
information technology has led to a paperless society, digital libraries and virtual
libraries.
Digital Technology has been
making such an impact on different sectors of human activity which leads the
present period as paperless society. Its impact on libraries and their services
is no less."

"The advanced field of
Library and Information Science deals with the
overall management of
libraries and information centres of various kinds of
various disciplines. The
library and information science personnel are now
more competitive with the
western world with their upgraded qualifications.
The growth of literature in
the field of library and information science
research is growing at a
faster rate. The research contribution of Indian
Library and Information
Science personnel for the last few decades is
enormous. This Research
Literature is multidisciplinary in nature.
This book explores bibliometric
investigations to identify the patterns of
publication, authorship,
citations and/or secondary journal coverage in the
hope that such regularities
can give an insight into the dynamics of the
area under consideration.
This consequently leads to a better organisation
of literature. Bibliometric
investigation includes statistics, operations
research, bibliometric
distribution and laws, citation analysis,
circulation theory,
information theory and theoretical aspects of
information retrieval,
explicitly presented in this book. It has practical
applications in library
management or in measuring the quality of journals.
Bibliometric research has
developed a body of theoretical knowledge and a
group of techniques and
applications based on the distribution of
bibliographic data elements.
The wider application of bibliometric
techniques is leading to the
development of new and more precise techniques
for greater economical and
efficient management of the material and the
bibliometric studies are
carried out on well established subject areas.
The book presents
bibliometric investigation to analyse the Indian
contributions in the field
of library and information science in the form
of periodical literature.
The implied objective is to develop a brief
profile of the
multidisciplinary subjects, as emerging from the country."

Dear friends and colleagues,
May I draw your attention to
the following excellent idea proposed by my colleague Jin Bihui. The AR-index
generalizes in a clever way the well-known h-index (Hirsch index) by taking the
number of citations as well as the age of the publications into account. Her
note concerning the AR-index can be found in the attachment of this message.
May I encourage you to study this interesting measure further and publish about
it?
Some more articles about the
h-index can be found on the first page of my website.
Friendly greetings,
Ronald Rousseau

News Release

Information Officer

info@nclis.gov
For Immediate Release
NCLIS Urges
Congress to take all necessary action to ensure Net Neutrality
"The current discussion
centers on whether content transmission on the Internet should be subject to a
system of prioritization known as 'tiered service'," said Commission
Chairman Beth Fitzsimmons. "So far, the underlying transmission of
information treats all packets of information equally but this could change
unless Congress acts to prevent a move to a tiered service."
A tiered system of
transmission would permit a substantial shift in Internet operations, allowing
Internet service providers to charge the content creators. Thus higher fees
would make content more available, since that content would be more accessible,
but those paying lower fees would have access to their content downgraded, as
Dr. Fitzsimmons put it, "to the slow lane of the Internet highway."
"Content created by
organizations with deep pockets would rise to the top of a search, with the
higher fees essentially enabling a content provider to 'buy' a higher position
in a search," Dr. Fitzsimmons continued. "Content created by
organizations with limited funding for such costs; community groups, schools
and other educational institutions, non-profits, and the scholarly publishing
field, for example, would be greatly restricted in having their materials available
in the early stages of a search."
With today's announcement,
the Commission takes the position that - with respect to Internet neutrality -
Congress should take action to assure the tiered access is prevented. In fact,
according to a study done under contract for the Commission, the government has
already taken a stand. In 1992, when Congress permitted commercial traffic on
the Internet, the Committee report on the legislation noted that the change did
not alter the "goals or characteristics" of the network. Congressman
Rick Boucher, the Chairman of the House subcommittee that developed the
legislation, explained during a hearing on the legislation: "It is
essential as the network is structured that all commercial providers of network
services receive equal treatment and that Government policy in managing the
network not favor any provider or set of providers over others."
It has also been suggested
that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) handle net neutrality in a
regulatory manner, but a position has been taken by the FCC as well. In August,
2005, the FCC adopted and published four principles "to encourage
broadband deployment and preserve and promote the open and interconnected
nature of [the] public Internet." While the principles have no legal force
and have not been codified, the FCC Chairman stated at the time that these
principles will be incorporated into the policymaking activities of the FCC.
The four principles are:
1. Consumers are entitled to
access the lawful Internet content of their choice.
2. Consumers are entitled to
run applications and services of their choice (subject to the needs of law
enforcement).
3. Consumers are entitled to
connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.
4. Consumes are entitled to
competition among network providers, application and service providers, and
content providers.
"The Commission is in
full support of the FCC's principles," Dr. Fitzsimmons said, "and we
as a Commission - with a statutory responsibility to advise the President and
Congress in matters having to do with libraries and information science -
respectfully encourage Congress to reiterate strongly the position it took when
legislation permitting commercial traffic on the Internet was developed. Equal
treatment of content is important to all information seekers. "
ABOUT NCLIS
The U.S. National Commission
on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) is a permanent, independent agency
of the Federal government charged by Public Law 91-345 to advise the President
and Congress on national and international library and information policies, to
appraise and assess the adequacies and deficiencies of library and information
resources and services, and to develop overall plans for meeting national
library and information needs.

Librarianship

Librarianship as a Bridge to
an Information and Knowledge Society in
Knowledge Management was the
theme of the Standing Conference of Eastern, Central and Southern African
Library and Information Associations (SCECSAL XVII) in 2006.
This selection of conference
papers provides a cross-disciplinary approach to knowledge, information and
development and how the three together can mould a new and more informed
society. The challenge is to make our libraries more people-centered and
Afro-centric, not simply serving the interests of the elite and paying little
attention to the plight of the less well off. This needs to change, with
libraries becoming more inclusive and serving the needs of all.
These papers raise
provocative questions, and provide an insight into the struggle of information
services in this part of

Project Greylink
Proposal for a Project
within the Greynet Community by Keith G. Jeffery
Introduction
At the GL8 Conference the
idea came up that current metadata standards for describing, managing,
discovering, restricting access to grey literature are inadequate.
What’s the problem?
Put simply, the current use
of DC (Dublin Core) or even MARC means that the metadata is machine readable
but not machine-understandable. The
end-result is that the input, update and retrieval processes are human-intensive.
With increasing availability of repositories of grey literature this will not
scale.
The proposed Solution
At GL8 (and indeed at
previous GL Conferences) the CERIF (Common European Research Information
Format) model was presented. It can be
used both as data and metadata. It is a
European Union Recommendation to member states (i.e. an international
standard). It is developed and
maintained by EuroCRIS (www.eurocris.org)
The proposed Project
The purpose of the proposed
project is to demonstrate that repositories of grey (and by analogy other)
literature utilising CERIF as their metadata standard out-perform those using
DC in the following ways:
A. For local (institutional
repositories):
(a) quality of input/update
(b) ease of input/update
(c) quality of query/retrieval
(d) ease of query/retrieval
B. For across-repository
interoperability
(e) quality of query/retrieval
(f) ease of query/retrieval
Requirements of Project
Partners:
1. become familiar with CERIF
and DC
2. assuming a DC repository
exists already, set up a (test) repository
with CERIF as metadata
3. test the two repositories
locally as in (A) above 4. test across both kinds of partner repositories as in
(B) above

Using Technology to Teach Information
Literacy – book: call for chapters
asis-l-bounces@asis.org; on
behalf of; Thomas P Mackey [TMackey@uamail.albany.edu] Tue 6/03/2007 7:48 AM asis-l@asis.org
CALL FOR CHAPTERS
We are soliciting chapter
proposals for a book entitled Using Technology to Teach Information Literacy,
to be published in early 2008 by Neal-Schuman. This is a follow-up to our
recently published book Information Literacy Collaborations That Work
(2007). For the next book we would like
to include chapters co-authored by librarian and faculty teams that applied
technology to teach information literacy. We are especially interested in novel approaches to information literacy
and technology instruction that may include: video, multimedia, course management
systems, Web-based tools, and emerging social computing formats such as blogs,
wikis, RSS, YouTube, etc. The book will
include innovative case studies from different academic institutions and
disciplinary perspectives. The
pedagogical dimension is especially important and may involve problem-based
learning, constructivism, and social and community informatics.
The relationship between
information literacy and information technology has been a relevant concern for
some time. The American Library
Association’s (
This book will raise one
central question: how did the
faculty-librarian partners overcome specific collaborative and/or technological
obstacles to effectively teach information literacy in a creative and
innovative manner? The authors will
provide a valuable context for instructors at other institutions interested in
initiating or expanding information literacy efforts through technology
instruction. The techniques covered in
the book will be inventive yet manageable for others to follow and will be
portable to a variety of institutional contexts.
Chapters need to be
co-authored by a librarian and a faculty member. In addition, each chapter must
follow this outline:
Introduction
Related Literature
Institutional Context
Disciplinary Perspective
Discussion of Case Study
Model and Faculty/Librarian Collaboration Contribution of technological
innovation and pedagogical approach to student learning Assessment of the
Instruction Conclusion
This book will be co-edited
by Thomas P. Mackey, Assistant Professor, Department of Information Studies,
Please send proposals of 1-2
pages to Tom Mackey at mackey@albany.edu no later than April 16, 2007. First
drafts of the completed chapters (25-30 pages) will be due on July 1, 2007.
Final drafts will be due by September 1, 2007.
If you have any questions
about proposal ideas or about the book please contact Tom.
