Berkman Center
for Internet & Society. [10]Next Generation Connectivity:
A review of broadband Internet transitions and policy from
around the world [draft] Boston, MA.: Berkman Center for Internet
& Society, October 2009. (http://www.fcc.gov/stage/pdf/Berkman_Center_Broadband_Study_13Oct
09.pdf). - Commonly known as the "Broadband
Study", the purpose of this
report was to look at "broadband deployment and usage
throughout the world" for the FCC. The results are in
and unfortunately we didn't do particularly well. In fact,
the U.S. was relegated to
"middle-of-the-pack performer" status, behind
industrialized countries in Europe and Asia where the
practice of "open access" to broadband networks by
third party competitors is more prevalent. There's a [11]good
discussion of the results by Nate Anderson over at Ars
Technica for those who don't have time to wade
through the study's 200+ pages. In a [12]press release
following the closing of the FCC comment period, the
communications people over at the Berkman Center wryly comment, "it seems as
though our report created a mini stimulus act for
telecommunications lawyers and consultants". - [13]LRK
Bhatnagar, Alka.
"[14]Web Analytics for Business Intelligence:
Beyond Hits and Sessions" [15]Online
33(6)(Nov/Dec 2009): 32-35.
(http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/infotoday/access/1895898461.html?dids=1895
898461:1895898461:1895898461&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT:PAGE&type=current&date=Nov%2FDec+2009&author=Alka+Bhatnagar&pub=Online&edition=&startpage=32&
desc=Web+Analytics+for+Business+Intelligence).
- The world of web analytics is truly bustling as anyone who
has ever toyed around with products like Google Analytics can
tell you. The depth of information and what you can do with
it are breathtaking. This isn't your father's Webalizer. But how do these metrics related to libraries?
That's what the author asks and then proceeds to answer in
this engaging introduction to the subject. - [16]LRK
Jansen, Bernard J., Mimi Zhang, and Kate Sobel, et. al."[17]Twitter
Power: Tweets as Electronic Word of Mouth"
[18]Journal of the American Society for
Information Science and T Technology
60(11)(November 2009): 2169-2188. (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946195/grouphome/home.html
). - Many libraries have jumped into social networking, using a
variety of platforms to reach out to their patrons with news
and information. Some have already started using the microblogging service Twitter, while
others are still contemplating its usefulness. In this
article, the authors look at how corporations can use Twitter
as an extension of their branding activities. The authors used
a variety of methods to analyze tweets from 50 brands
over a three-month period.
They found that on a weekly basis, most tweets about
the brands were positive (60%) and about a quarter were
negative sentiments. However, looking at the data for the
entire time period, the researchers found that more than 80%
of tweets mentioning these brands did not contain a
sentiment. They were tweets that asked for or offered
information, or mentioned the brand in passing. To more
closely examine this phenomenon, the authors looked
specifically at Starbucks' Twitter activity, and found that
there was very little conversation between the Starbucks
account and those of their followers (usually fewer than four
tweets). While this demonstrates that Twitter may not be a
medium for close management of customer relationships, it is
a way for a company (or library) to find out how patrons are
feeling about the library, and to reach out to those who post
questions, complaints or compliments. - [19]AC
Lascarides, Michael. "[20]Infomaki: An Open Source,
Lightweight Usability Testing Tool" [21]http://journal.code4lib.org/ (21
September 2009)(http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/2099).
- Usability
testing is a lot like exercise -- we all know it is good for
us and yet many of us seem not to find the time to do it.
Meanwhile, our user community is also likely not happy when
faced with online surveys that can take a significant period
of time to complete. These reasons make Infomaki
a perfect solution for usability testing without pain for
either the organization or the user. Infomaki
is an infrastructure that enables organizations to create and
manage a database of survey questions and replies. Questions
can be served up as one at a time and the user decides when
they have had enough. Users can select to answer only one
question or several. They New York Public Library,
which developed the application, has
been using it to gather thousands of replies to usability
questions and has released their code as open source. - [22]RT
Lavoie, Brian, and Lorcan
Dempsey. "[23]Beyond 1923: Characteristics
of Potentially In-copyright Print Books in Library
Collections" [24]D-Lib Magazine
15(11/12)(November/December
2009)(http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november09/lavoie/11lavoie.html
). – As copyright term has lengthened and more and more works
remain protected by copyright, interest in the scope and
nature of those works has increased. For example, Michael
Cairns tried [25]calculating the number
of "orphan works" using data from Books in Print.
Lavoie and Dempsey have the Worldcat
database at their fingertips, and in this article they
categorize the nature of the books printed since 1923 found in the
database. They found lots of neat information, such as that
there are 3.7 million unique authors of books published in
the US since 1923, with children books author Carole Marsh
being second to William Shakespeare in print manifestations.
Until Google releases data on the books it has scanned,
Lavoie and Dempsey's article provides the best suggestion of
what the scope of the Google database may be. For students of
publishing and library history, it offers a fascinating
snapshot of twentieth-century practices. - [26]PH
Pace, Andrew. "[27]21st Century Library Systems" [28]Journal of Library
Administration 49(6)(August 2009): 641-650. (http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a915763651).

If you are embarking on the search for a new library
management system, electronic resource management system,
federated search tool or anything else in the library
technology family, be sure to wave this paper under the nose
of your non-techie library manager, and/or your non-library
IT manager. It will provide a good introduction to where
computerised library systems have come from over the last
several decades, the current state of affairs (both in
libraries and the general IT world) and some thoughts about
the future. Be prepared to follow up with some other readings
and information about some of the things Pace touches on,
like Cloud Computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS). - [29]WC
Samuelson, Pamela. "[30]New
Google Book Settlement Aims Only to Placate Governments"
[31]The Huffington Post (17 November 2009)(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pamela-samuelson/new-google-book-settlemen_b_358544.html). - The amended Google Book Search
settlement ([32]Zip file) has hardly
silenced the deal's critics. In this article, [33]Samuelson,
who is a Professor at the University of California at
Berkeley's Law School and its School of Information, outlines
and critiques the major changes in the settlement, which she
says "were overwhelmingly made to placate the
governments of France and Germany, as well as the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ)." Whether these parties are
placated or not, Samuelson still has significant objections to the
settlement. For example, she says that: "Google will
still get a de facto monopoly right to commercialize all
out-of-print books, including the orphans, through the class
action settlement process. No one else
can get a comparable license, and hence no one else can offer
a comprehensive database of books to allow competition in the
market for institutional subscriptions." For further
analysis of the amended settlement, see Jonathan Band's [34]A Guide for the Perplexed Part III: The
Amended Settlement Agreement, Larry Downes' upbeat
"[35]Two Cheers for Google Books," and Fred von Lohmann's series of posts on the DeepLinks blog ([36]1, [37]2, [38]3, and [39]4). - [40]CB
Smith, Shannon D., Gail Salaway,
and Judith B. Caruso. [41]The ECAR Study of
Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2009
Boulder, CO: EDUCAUSE,
2009.(http://www.educause.edu/Resources/TheECARStudyofUndergraduateStu/187215
). - Since 2004, the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied
Research (ECAR) has been publishing annual studies of
undergraduate students and information technology. If this
annual publication is not yet required and anticipated
reading, it really should be. This year's study represents
the participation of 30,616 students from 115 U.S. colleges
and universities. The study provides quantitative confirmation of
trends that you may have already been observing or have
encountered
through anecdotes. For example, more than half of the
responding students own an Internet-capable mobile device or
that student computer ownership has quickly
shifted from desktops to laptops. The complete report, which
is just over 100 pages, is an easy read, but if time is short,
there is a 13-page summary available as well. - [42]SG
Suber, Peter. "[43]Knowledge as a Public Good" [44]SPARC Open
Access Newsletter (139)(2009) (http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/11-02-09.htm#publicgood
). - A key argument for open access is that
knowledge is a "public good." But what is a public
good? Suber identifies two
primary features of a public good: (1) it is "non-rivalrous," and (2) it
is "non-excludable." A good is non-rivalrous when users can consume
it "without depleting it or becoming 'rivals'." A
good is "non-excludable" when "consumption is
available to all, and attempts to prevent consumption are generally
ineffective." Suber then argues
that knowledge inherently has these characteristics and that
scholarly digital texts that embody knowledge could have them:
"With the right equipment we can all have copies of the
same digital text without having to take turns, block one
another, multiply our costs, or deplete our resources. . . .
For the first time in the history of writing, we can record
our non-rivalrous knowledge without turning it into
a rivalrous material object."
However, copyright law and copyright-holder access
restrictions limit the promise of digital texts as public
goods unless there is copyright-holder consent to make them
freely available. Retention of copyright and self-archiving by
scholarly authors as well as funder and institutional open
access mandates help achieve this promise. A restructuring of scholarly
publishing to a model where publishers provide open access
based remuneration that covers their costs plus a reasonable
profit margin also helps achieve this promise: "As the PLoS [Public Library of Science] analogy of publishers
as midwives always suggested, the idea is to stop the midwife
from keeping the baby, not to avoid paying for services
rendered." - [45]CB
Wyld, David C. [46]Moving to the
Cloud: An Introduction to Cloud Computing in Government
Washington, DC: IBM Center for The Business
of Government, 2009.(http://www.businessofgovernment.org/pdfs/WyldCloudReport.pdf
). - The concept of "cloud computing" has been much
in the news lately and yet it is easily misunderstood. This
report, although aimed at a government audience, can serve as useful
introduction to this concept for anyone. The first 15 pages or
so are all that would be needed to get up to speed on what
cloud computing is and why it might be an important
development for virtually any organization. Those wishing
to go deeper can read about the ten "major
challenges" facing government implementation of cloud
computing and the author's assessment of the future of cloud
computing in government, including ten specific predictions. A
tip for those printing this -- unless you want to study
the references, only print the first 60 and skip the final
20. - [47]RT

Between Amazon putting the holiday hard sell on their Kindle
family of e-book readers and Barnes and Noble attempting to
launch their entry into this space (the "Nook"),
you're probably just about as fed up with e-book reader hype
as I am. But just when you thought you had had enough, here
comes an article that runs through most, if not all, of the
current and near-term future technologies for e-book
screen displays. Most are jaw-droppingly
bizarre, from tiny balls full of charged black and white
particles to tiny groups of three mirrors. "One way or
another," asserts The Economist, "inexpensive colour
e-readers with video are on their way." So which of these
strange technologies will power tomorrow's
displays? It's anyone's guess, and those who guess
right will make a bundle. - [10]RT

- The [13]One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)
project undoubtedly changed the landscape of low-end laptops,
and now their vision for the third iteration of the device,
planned for 2012, seems similarly poised to redefine the
field. Envisioned as a very thin, roughly letter-sized plastic
tablet, it is designed to be hung from the belt and steadied
with a plastic thumb loop at one corner. It seems apparent
that if they are able to achieve anything close to this at anywhere
close to the target pricepoint ($75!)
it will be stunning. Check out the photos of the device at
this blog post to see what they have in mind. - [14]RT
Erway, Ricky. "[15]A View on Europeana from the US
Perspective" [16]Liber
Quarterly 19(2)(2009)(http://liber.library.uu.nl/publish/articles/000472/).
- Ricky Erway was presented with an
impossible task at a conference in October, 2009: critique the
rapidly evolving Europeana digital
library before its sponsors and creators. She gracefully
accepted the challenge, and the result is an article that will
be of value to anyone engaged in a collaborative digitization
project. Erway describes the major
issues that confront digitization projects,
identifies state-of-the-art projects from around the world that
are addressing these issues, and asks how Europeana
measures up in each area. Measuring oneself against Erways's categories is an exercise that
all digitization projects would do well to undertake. And if
nothing else, the article includes links to interesting
digitization projects that may not be widely known in the U.S.
(And kudos to Liber Quarterly
for getting the text, which could age quickly, into print so
quickly after the conference.) - [17]PH

Tips on Designing and Developing Mobile Web Sites"
[19]The Code4Lib Journal (8)(21 September
2009)(http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/2055).
- The opening section of this paper gives more than enough
evidence as to why libraries of all types need to develop
mobile phone applications and interfaces to library services.
Some libraries are already taking great steps in
this direction, and these initiatives are highlighted. It goes
on to outline three important considerations when developing
mobile applications, and makes the distinction that mobile
developers need to move beyond shrinking content to fit small
screens, and instead use the mobile experience as a new way to
connect with patrons. The bulk of the article outlines the
efforts of the Oregon State University Library to develop
mobile applications. It covers some coding which helps
to detect whether a person is using a mobile device to connect
to an application, and if so, point their device to the
appropriate mobile application. The list of ten design
recommendations for designing for small screens is very
useful, as is the explanation of their testing and validating
processes. - [20]WC
Hadro, Josh. "[21]White House Signals Interest in Open Access
with Public Call for Comments" [22]Library Journal
(17 December 2009)(http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6712223.html).
- It's big
news when the White House shows interest in open access, so
the Office of Science and Technology Policy's [23]call in the Federal Register
for "input from the community regarding enhancing public
access to archived publications resulting from research funded
by Federal science and technology agencies" raised the
hopes of U.S. open access advocates. Subsequently, OSTP began
to post discussion items on its blog for comment. The first
post was "[24]Policy Forum on Public Access
to Federally Funded Research: Implementation," the
current post is "[25]Policy Forum on Public Access to
Federally Funded Research: Features and Technology," and
the third, which will be about management, will be posted on
January 1. The "[26]Archive for
the 'Public Access Policy' Category" page provides access
to all the posts and comments. You must [27]register
and [28]login to post comments. (Comments can also be e-mailed
to publicaccess@ostp.gov.)
Initially, OSTP said that all comments must be received by
January 7, 2010; however, that deadline has been extended to
January 21, 2010, with a more detailed discussion of the three
topics occurring between January 7, 2010 and that date. - [29]CB

[30]Lessons Learned: How College Students Seek Information in
the Digital Age Seattle,
WA: School of Information, University of Washington, 1
December 2009.(http://projectinfolit.org/pdfs/PIL_Fall2009_Year1Report_12_2009.pdf).
- This progress report from [31]Project Information
Literacy is a report of the "findings from 2,318
respondents to a survey carried out among college students on
six campuses distributed across the U.S. in the spring of
2009". The abstract summarizes the findings, but there are
many juicy tidbits in the full report.
"Respondents, while curious in the beginning stages of
research, employed a consistent and predictable research
strategy for finding information, whether they were conducting
course-related or everyday life research. Almost all of the
respondents turned to the same set of tried and true
information resources in the initial stages of research,
regardless of their information goals. Almost all students
used course readings and Google first for course-related
research and Google and Wikipedia for everyday life research.
Most students used library resources, especially scholarly
databases for course-related research and far fewer,
in comparison, used library services that required interacting
with librarians. The findings suggest that students
conceptualize research, especially tasks associated with
seeking information, as a competency learned by rote, rather
than as an opportunity to learn, develop, or expand upon an
information-gathering strategy which leverages the wide range
of resources available to them in the digital age." - [32]RT

- The tag line of this piece serves as the thumbnail summary
of it: "Coming soon... It's the end of the book as we
know it, and you'll be just fine. But it won't be replaced by
the e-book, which is, at best, a stopgap measure." In
other words, the post is mostly a rehash of what has long been
the visionary replacement of the book -- a digital mashup of virtually any type of digital
resource (e.g., video) or service (e.g., annotation)
-- thereby characterizing today's "e-book in name but not
substance" as a stopgap measure similar to the early days
of film, where cameras were simply pointed at stage plays. But
the author uses some useful metaphors to make his case and the
comments the post has begun to accumulate are thoughtful and
worth your time. - [35]RT

and Sharon D. Eaves, et. al."[36]The Distracting Effects of a Ringing Cell
Phone: An Investigation of the Laboratory and the Classroom
Setting" [37]Journal of
Environmental Psychology 29(4)(December 2009):
513-521. (http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0272494409000231).
- Every instructional librarian has had a session interrupted
by a
student's ringing cell phone. But have you ever wondered
exactly how distracting this phenomenon is? In this study the
authors set out to answer this question. They conducted a
series of four experiments -- two in the laboratory and two in
real classrooms -- that measured the impact of a ringing cell
phone on students' attention. The laboratory experiments used
three different sounds, and measured how much and for how long
those sounds diverted the participants' attention. While
the findings of the laboratory experiments were interesting,
the classroom experiments were particularly informative. In
both of them, a student was planted in the
classroom with the ability to set off a cell phone in her bag
at a specific point in the lecture. For the first trial,
she spent 30 seconds pretending to try and find the phone in
her bag; for the second she just let it ring. In both cases
the students were then tested on the facts that were delivered
during the point in the lecture when the phone rang. In both
classes, the students performed poorly on the quiz questions
relating to the lecture material that was delivered during the
distraction. However, in the class where the student
also searched for the phone, performance was even worse,
indicating that the distracting effects of the ring are
compounded by the visual distraction of the phone's owner
trying to locate it. The findings of these four experiments
indicate that continuing to conduct class while a phone is
going off is a poor choice. Rather than ignoring the phone, instructors
would do better to wait for the phone to be silenced, or at
least make a point of reviewing the information presented at
that point later in the class. - [38]AC

[8]2010 Horizon Report Austin, TX: The New Media
Consortium, January 2010.(http://www.educause.edu/ELI/2010HorizonReport/195400).
- "The annual Horizon Report is a collaborative effort
between the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) and the New
Media Consortium (NMC). Each year, the report identifies and
describes six areas of emerging technology likely to have a
significant impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression
in higher education within three adoption horizons: a year or
less, two to three years, and four to five years. The areas of
emerging technology cited for 2010 are: Time to adoption: One
Year or Less: Mobile Computing and Open Content; Time to
adoption: Two to Three Years: Electronic Books and Simple
Augmented Reality; Time to adoption: Four to Five Years:
Gesture-based Computing and Visual Data Analysis." Sorry,
but I really couldn't improve on that. Now go get the report
and see what they say about these technologies and
their potential impacts on teaching and learning. - [9]RT

Fresno, CA: Institute of Public Anthropology,
California State University, Fresno, 2009.(http://www.csufresno.edu/anthropology/ipa/TheLibraryStudy(DelcoreMulloolyScroggins).pdf).
- This 58-page report is the result of a 7-month study of
students and the library at California State University,
Fresno. Two anthropologists, a field project director, and a
cadre of student enrolled in two ethnographic methods classes used
a wide array of anthropological and ethnographic methods to
study the students at Fresno State to discover ways to improve
and increase library usage. The results are very insightful
glimpses of the "taskscapes"
for students at Fresno State and how the library facilities
and serves fit or not. The report includes student
drawings, photographs and even links to videos of student
skits about the library, paper writing, and the stress of
being a student. The excellent work of Delcore
and his colleagues adds additional techniques to the growing
toolkit of methodologies that library staff can use to better
understand and serve their users. Moreover, it highlights
some of the unique challenges faced by first generation
college students and those from relatively low income
families. The authors' practical recommendations for the
Fresno library include facility, web design, outreach and
service suggestions; some of which merit consideration by any
academic library. - [11]SG

16(1/2)(January/February 2010)(http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january10/eschenfelder/01eschenfelder.html - Kristin Eschenfelder
and Grace Agnew contribute to the ongoing debate about the
effort of cultural institutions to control digitized resources
by conducting a survey of how institutions are
controlling access to and use of digital collections. They
found that the most commonly used tools are also among the
oldest: resolution limits and authentication and authorization
systems. They don't discuss the efficacy of the deployed
systems to regulate user behavior, nor do
they discuss the broader problem of whether institutions
legally can or should be controlling access to and use of
their collections. Kenneth D. Crews and Melissa A. Brown of
Columbia University's [14]Copyright Advisory Office have just
released an introduction to this later issue in [15]Control of

- Holley reports on the experience of the Australian Newspaper

includes the ability to correct OCR'd
text, but this article focuses on the tagging aspect.
The article includes a great deal of data on user tagging over
a 15-month period, as well as interesting insights into how
users tag full text collections. Of particular interest to me
was when the National Library of Australia did not impose any
tagging rules or guidelines "they clearly developed their
own unwritten rules." In summary, Holley writes,
"The experience of the National Library of Australia shows
that tagging is a good thing, users want it, and it adds more
information to data. It costs little to nothing and is
relatively easy to implement; therefore, more libraries and
archives should just implement it across their entire
collections." Highly recommended for anyone interested
in tagging, or indeed any type of user-contributed content.

Collaborative Imperative: Special Collections in the Digital
Age" [21]Research Library Issues

- In this piece Kenney proposes nine "Principles to Guide
Large-Scale Digitization of Special Collections,":
"1) Distinct collections demand extra vigilance in
digitization; 2) Libraries must respect any donor-imposed
restrictions on the digitization and use of materials; 3)
Libraries should seek the broadest possible user access to digitized
content. This includes patrons of other libraries and
unaffiliated researchers;
4) Libraries should receive copies of all digital files
generated from their collections, with the option for complete
local access to the files (to the extent that copyright law
allows); 5) Any enhancements or improvements to the digitized
content should be shared on a regular basis with the supplying
library; 6) Restrictions on external access to copies of works
digitized from a library's holding should be of
limited duration; 7) Libraries should refrain from signing
nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) as part of digitization
negotiations; 8) Libraries should ensure that the
confidentiality of users is protected in the vendor's
products; 9) Libraries should refrain from charging fees
or royalties for access to or non-commercial use of public
domain materials held in their collections." It should be
noted that Peter
Hirtle of Cornell, and a Current
Cites contributor, assisted in drafting these principles. -

- The goal was to make a significant impact on the learning
experience of undergraduates at UMINN through new or revamped
library initiatives. How they went about this, how
they identified needs and prioritized solutions, makes up the
heart of this article. They started with focus groups. They analyzed data. They brainstormed
solutions. What they finally came up with, 12 top initiatives,
was reduced to five through a final survey of students. While
the process was admittedly elaborate, the authors conclude
that is was also transparent, well publicized and ultimately
almost 100% fully funded. - [25]LRK

highly controversial [29]Google Book Settlement. In this
preprint, Samuelson takes an in-depth look at the Google Book
Settlement (GBS), including the [30]Amended
Settlement Agreement reached in November 2009. After an
overview, Samuelson discusses the possible future impacts of
the GBS if approved. A section on
optimistic predictions is followed by a six-part section on
pessimistic predictions, whose titles often include the
word "nightmares." Of particular interest are the
"Library and Academic Researcher Nightmares" and
"Nightmares for Readers" subsections. A summary is
followed by a new section on "Other Possible Futures
for Books in Cyberspace," which includes subsections on
what could happen if the GBS is rejected and on a proposed
alternative publicly funded book mass digitization project.

"[10]A Survey of the
Scholarly Journals Using Open Journal Systems"
[11]Public Knowledge Project (2010)(http://pkp.sfu.ca/files/OJS%20Journal%20Survey.pdf).
- In this eprint, the authors
present the results of a survey of 998 scholarly journals that
use the Open Journal Systems software, an open source system
that is freely available from the Public Knowledge Project. This is
a particularly interesting study because it provides insight
into the operations of open access journals that are not
published by corporations, such as BioMed
Central. There has been a long history of conflicting data
about journal production costs, with conventional publishers
and open access advocates often presenting
significantly different figures. More often than not, this has
been a "compare apples and oranges" problem, since
the operations of journals that are similar to the majority of
ones in this study are very different from those of commercial
publishers. For example, here are the number of journals
in the study that spent nothing on selected journal publishing
functions: editorship, 522; management, 474; article layout,
454; proofreading, 504; website, 457; customization, 545;
technical, 494; and promotion, 536. Regarding costs, the
authors note: "The challenge posed by this set of
journals becomes starkly apparent, whether the one compares
the first copy costs from this journal sample of $188.39 per
article, at roughly a tenth of the industry standard over the
last decade. . ., or the annual budget for the majority of
these journals, which stands at less than what are held to be
the "fixed" costs ($3,800) of a single article . .

the Future Landscape of Scholarly Communication:
An Exploration of Faculty Values and Needs in Seven
Disciplines Berkeley,
CA: UC Berkeley: Center for Studies
in Higher Education, January 2010.(http://escholarship.org/uc/cshe_fsc).
- Under the auspices of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the
[14]Center for Studies in
Higher Education at Berkeley has undertaken an exhaustive
review of how faculty in seven selected academic fields
(archaeology, astrophysics, biology, economics, history,
music, and political science) view traditional and emerging
forms of scholarly communication. Their findings highlight the
importance of traditional models of scholarly communications
in most fields, and suggest that the opportunities provided by
new technologies are not soon going to replace the published
scholarly article or peer-reviewed monograph. They did identify
5 areas, however, that require further attention in
academia: more nuanced tenure and promotion practices; a reexamination of peer review; more high
quality and affordable journals and monograph publishing
platforms; new models of publishing that accommodate different
types of material; and support for managing and preserving new
research methods and products. All academic librarians should
read the executive summary and first chapter in order to
better understand the environment in which we work.
Specialists in each of the subject areas will want to read the
detailed discussion of their fields as well. - [15]PH

- Google Scholar
has many uses but "bibliometric"
searches, say, by name of author or journal is not one of
them. In fact, in this strongly argued piece, authors are
routinely "robbed" of credit because chapter headings,
journal names and even menu settings are misidentified as
content creators. The parsers doing this are
"under-educated" and most problems originate from
"a mix of incompetence, carelessness and
reckless negligence in essential quality control tests".
Reading this litany, it's hard to understand why the company
that gave us Wave and Buzz can't do a better job with
structured data. That said, it's also
hard to see why anyone would use it for "bibliometric" searches in the
first place. - [18]LRK

library community, the issues in this article are applicable
to libraries as they consider how they will implement their
systems in the future. For those not familiar with the ins-and-outs
of cloud computing and software as a service, this is
definitely recommended reading before your next meeting with

Washington, D.C.: Library Copyright
Alliance, February 2010.(http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/ibstreamingfilms_021810.pdf).
- Ever since Inside Higher Educations broke the
story, a lot of attention has been paid to the threat of a
lawsuit against UCLA for streaming videos for educational use.
The coverage by [23]Kevin Smith,
[24]Peggy Hoon, and [25]Steve Worona has been
particularly helpful. Now a group of lawyers (Jonathan Band,
Brandon Butler, Kenneth Crews, and Peter Jaszi)
have prepared for the Library Copyright Alliance a ringing
endorsement of educational use of streamed videos as an
educational fair use. They also consider whether the
educational performance exceptions might apply as well. We
don't know how a court would rule, but the document is a good
reminder that we should not accept at face value the
interpretations of copyright law offered by those with a
vested interest in licensing work. As the authors conclude,
"Educational institutions should know and exercise
their rights to use copyrighted works to extend and enrich the
classroom experience." - [26]PH

Where's the `candy'? Users are unlikely to contribute content

`Free' user-generated content often carries its own costs...3)
Once content is in, what is required to make it useful?"

theme of the Jan/Feb issue of EDUCAUSE Review is "rethinking
the future of higher education." Among the many
interesting articles is a piece by Don Tapscott
(author of Growing Up Digital) and Anthony D.
Williams (co-author of Wikinomics).
The authors join a growing chorus of warnings that higher education
is overdue for a radical paradigm shift. Collaborative
learning and collaborative knowledge production are
at the heart of what Tapscott and
Williams believe will be the 21st-century model of higher
education. Open access content, open courseware and social
networking ("a Facebook for faculty") are
some of the necessary elements of a more flexible and
pedagogically-sound education system. While we have been
hearing elements of this University 2.0 concept for several
years now, the disruption, dislocation, confusion and
uncertainty of the paradigm shift needs another push or two
because the stakeholders are far too entrenched to willingly
consider change; a situation, which the authors and others,
liken to health care reform (augh!).

- This article provides an overview of guidelines for creating
a website accessible to patrons with disabilities. The author
breaks down the major requirements of Section 508 (added to
the 1973 Rehabilitation Act in 1998), which requires local and
state government agencies to provide accessible versions of
all materials on their website. The guidelines include
instruction on ensuring that there are alternative means
of accessing all of the non-text portions of a page --
descriptions of images, transcripts of videos, and the like --
as well as other concerns for patrons with a variety of disabilities.
After discussing these regulations, the author makes
suggestions of how library webmasters can begin to implement
them. These include starting out by trying to access the
existing site using a variety of assistive technologies, in
order to gain a better understanding of what works and what
doesn't. The author also points out the benefits
of fully-accessible sites -- they are easier to use for all
patrons, and easier for the webmaster to maintain. The author
notes that it is
generally easier to build an accessible website from scratch
rather than retrofit an existing site. This article is a great
introduction to the topic for a new library webmaster, or
anyone who needs a quick
refresher on the main requirements of Section 508. - [40]AC

Subject: Special Issue: Digital Ethnographies - Cosmopolitan Civil
Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal
The rise of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) has radically transformed contemporary civil society. The advent of cyberspace has radically transformed the personal, professional and creative practices of people around the globe. It has led to the birth of new ‘born digital’ communities and caused many existing communities to re-invent themselves. It has given rise to notions of an ‘Information Society’.
It has also brought new challenges and opportunities for researchers across the information and social sciences. This special issue of Cosmopolitan Civil Societies devoted to ‘Digital Ethnographies’ provides an opportunity for researchers in the burgeoning field of digital ethnographies to share their findings and approaches with a diverse international via an open-access e-journal. We particularly invite submissions from less experienced authors. The issue will be edited by Professor Heather Goodall, Social and Political Change Group, and Dr Michael Olsson, Journalism Information & Media Studies Group, of the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences at the University of Technology, Sydney.
Cosmopolitan Civil Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is concerned with developing a better understanding of social change and cultural cohesion in Australia and other cosmopolitan societies. Researchers engaged in interdisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary work are encouraged to contribute. Guidelines for Authors can be found here. The closing date for submission to the special issue is 30 June 2010. Any enquiries should be directed via email to Dr Michael Olsson at Michael.Olsson@uts.edu.au .

Subject: A new outlet for publishing in Digital Preservation Management
and Technology
Digital Preservation Management and Technology
New section in The Electronic Library
Section Co-editors: Dr Gillian Oliver and Professor G E Gorman Victoria
University of Wellington, New Zealand
Digital preservation management and technology are two inter-related issues
confronting all memory institutions: libraries, archives, galleries and
museums. Such institutions are addressing very similar questions regarding the
management of preservation activities and of preserved artefacts, as well as
the technologies required to preserve, disseminate and access these artefacts.
For many, this has been the unexpected consequence of rushing to reformat
existing collections to enable digital accessibility. Resourcing issues
(shortage of expertise, limited availability of funding) are forcing
collaborative activity to an unprecedented degree between the distinctly
different collecting paradigms represented by these institution types. As the
functionality of web technologies and social media software increasingly
influence the ways in which these institutions operate, the focus on DPMT, on collaboration
between technologists and managers, and on inter-institutional collaboration
will increase. It is therefore timely to consider devoting a significant
section of an existing journal (The Electronic Library) to capture interest and
research in this sector.
In time, Digital Preservation Management and Technology may become a full
journal, the focus of which will be research in the broad field of digital
preservation management and related technologies in this cross-sectoral domain,
which includes academic, corporate, government, scientific and commercial
contexts. It will address issues relating to the continuity of digital
information, including digital objects, metadata and the context of their
creation, management and use. It will encompass all purposes for which
information is managed by the different occupational groups: as evidence, for
accountability, for knowledge and awareness and for pleasure and entertainment.
Coverage is intentionally international. The emphasis will be on research and
conceptual papers in these fields.
Articles should be either conceptual papers or research papers in the region of
3000-6000 words.
All submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed. by
members of the Editorial Advisory Board.
There will be an international Editorial Advisory Board whose specific task
will be to double blind peer review submissions. The 20-30 Board members will
be from North America, the UK, Australasia, Asia and elsewhere.
Submissions please, to Digital Preservation Management and Technology at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tel

EBLIP call for Classic submissions
Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP), a peer-reviewed, open access journal published since 2006, seeks nominations and contributors for its "Classic Research Studies" section.
Contributions to the EBLIP "Classics"
section follow a structured format designed to highlight, summarize and
critically appraise research studies that have stood the test of time and that
have had (and continue to have) an impact on library and information practice.
Previous "Classics" have included the work of William Postell, Constance Mellon, Carol Kuhlthau,
Joanne Marshall, and Robert Taylor. For an example of a "Classic"
summary, see
<http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP/article/view/1760/3331>.
If you can identify such a study, articulate its value to LIS practice, and are willing to write a summary and appraisal of that study in order to make EBLIP readers aware of this "Classic," we would like to hear from you.
Information about Evidence Based Library and Information Practice is available at: <http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP/index>.

University, USA
Abiodun O. Bada, The George Washington University, USA
In
developing countries, information technology education is associated with high
cost and is not typically available outside urban areas. Seeking IT education
might not be on the priority list of countries battling numerous problems
related to healthcare, housing, nutrition, and other basic needs of life;
however, IT education is an increasingly important aspect of human resource
development, as well as economic development. This article presents a case
where the provision of IT education differs from the conventional emphasis on
urban dwellers. The authors discuss the case of Summit Computers in a rural
community in Nigeria. The authors discuss the important factors to benefit and
enhance the sustainability of IT education in rural communities.

Strategic
Metamorphoses of ICT Sector for Human Development in India
Meeta Mathur,
University of Rajasthan, India
Sangeeta Sharma, University of Rajasthan, India
As
Indian economy gets integrated to the global economy and strives to improve in
terms of human development indicators, a special role exists for information
and communication technologies (ICTs) in this process. The strategic
metamorphoses and the resultant expansion of ICTs linked telecommunication
services in India have favorably influenced the
effort to accelerate the pace of human development by enabling equality in
access to information, creation of employment, improving the quality of life,
better livelihood opportunities in rural areas, growth of agriculture, impetus
to business development, environmental management, and many more. After the
initiation of economic planning in India, telecom services are assumed to be a
natural monopoly and are provided by one entity without competition. The
government launched ambitious ICT infrastructure initiatives, radically
changing its communication policy framework.

Trust
and Technology in Inter-Organizational Business Relations
Muneesh Kumar, University of Delhi South Campus, India
and ESC-PAU, France
Mamta Sareen,
University of Delhi, India
The
emergence of inter-organizational systems has facilitated easy and fast flow of
information among the trading partners. This has affected the business
relations among the trading parties involved. Though the inter-organizational
systems have helped a lot in improving the business relations, the
vulnerability and the virtual environment of such systems raise the issues of
trust that may affect the long-term business relations. In this article, the
authors empirically examine the relationship between the levels of assurance
with regard to deployment and implementation of relevant technology tools in
addressing the identified technology-related trust issues. This article
presented the empirical evidence, based on a survey of 106 Indian companies
using inter-organizational systems for managing their business relations.

Large
organizations use multiple data sources and centralize
processing in these organizations require analysis of huge database originating
from various locations. Data mining association rules help perform exploration
and analysis of large amounts of data to discover meaningful patterns which can
facilitate effective decision-making. This article is to enhance service
quality in a hospital using data mining. The improvement in service quality
helps create hygienic environment and enhance technical competence among staff
members. The authors propose a weighting model to identify valid rules among
large number of forwarded rules from various data sources. This model is
applied to rank the rules based on patient perceived service parameters in a
hospital.

Introduction
Enormous
quantities of data are constantly being produced and stored electronically: the
volume of born-digital data far outstrips print, mass digitization efforts are
being launched by institutions of all kinds, and personal devices that can
capture images and video are commonplace. In this new environment, it is
becoming increasingly clear that libraries, archives, and museums – indeed,
cultural heritage institutions of all types – face shared challenges. In
response, these disciplines – library and information science, archival
studies, and museum studies – increasingly share overlapping educational goals.
Only in the past five years or so, however, have significant efforts been
launched in these programs to develop curricula to identify and meet these educational
goals. We encourage researchers and educators in any of these or related
disciplines to discuss the development, implementation, or evaluation of entire
curricula, individual courses, or professional development programs to meet
these educational goals, in the Winter 2011 issue of
JELIS (Volume 52, no. 1).
Submission Procedure
Authors
are invited to submit an abstract for the paper on or before April 30,
2010. Both research and
conceptual papers are welcome. Abstracts should not exceed
150 words, and should succinctly state the scope, objectives, and conclusions
of the paper, as well as methodology and results, as appropriate. The guest editor
will review the abstracts and provide suggestions and feedback by May
15, 2010. The deadline for submission
of full manuscripts will be June 30, 2010. The JELIS submission
guidelines are available at http://jelis.org/for-authors/.
Full manuscripts will be reviewed using the double-blind review process. Authors
will be notified of the referees’ decisions by September 1, 2010, and final revisions will be due October 1, 2010. Selected papers
will be published in the Volume 52, no. 1 in Winter 2011.

[Excuses for cross-posting] CALL FOR PAPERS: JOURNAL OF LIBRARY METADATA
The Journal of Library Metadata, a peer-reviewed journal, marks the
growing importance of metadata in libraries and other institutions. As
libraries collect, produce, distribute and publish more information than ever
before, the metadata that describes these resources becomes more critical for
digital resource management and discovery. The Journal of Library
Metadata is the exclusive forum for the latest research, innovations,
news, and expert views about all aspects of metadata applications and about the
role of metadata in information retrieval. The journal is published quarterly
by Routledge/Taylor & Francis.
The journal covers all aspects of metadata applications including (but not limited to): · Application profiles
· Best practices
· Controlled vocabularies
· Crosswalking of metadata and interoperability
· Digital libraries and metadata
· Federated repositories
· Federated searching
· Folksonomies
· Individual metadata schemes
· Institutional repository metadata
· Metadata content standards
· Metadata harvesting
· Ontologies
· Preservation metadata
· Resource Description Framework
· Resource discovery and metadata
· Search engines and metadata
· SKOS
· Tagging and tag clouds
· Topic maps
· Visual image and moving image metadata
The journal publishes three categories of articles: standard, peer-reviewed articles; shorter, non-peer reviewed articles and short viewpoint articles. * Peer-reviewed articles (original research): 10-50 double-spaced pages.* Short, non-peer-reviewed articles, often practical in nature: 500-2,000 words with limited citations. * Upbeat viewpoint articles giving the author's opinion on a timely topic related to metadata applications: 500-2,000 words with or without citations. Focus should be on improvements or solutions instead of negative aspects of an existing system, standard or service. For more information please visit the submission instructions: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=t792306902~tab=submit~mode=paper_submission_instructions Please direct all inquiries and articles to the journal editor below: Dr. Jung-ran Park
