MTSR 2013 Special Track on Metadata and Semantics for Open Repositories, Research Information Systems and Data Infrastructures

Paolo Manghi — 2013-05-23T19:19:46

[apologies for cross-posting]

-------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special track on Metadata & Semantics for Open Repositories, Research Information Systems and Data Infrastructures at MTSR 2013
http://mtsr2013.teithe.gr/index.php/tracks/special-track2

Part of the Seventh International Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR'13)
Alexander Technological Educational Institute, November 19-22, 2013, Thessaloniki (Greece)
http://mtsr2013.teithe.gr/

SCOPE

The sharing and re-use of research information is becoming an increasingly important aspect of scientific activity. Text publications are ñ and will be at least for the near future ñ the predominant way of publishing research output and challenges still exist for their optimal recording and dissemination. Meanwhile, scientific communities recognise the immense significance of storing, discovering, processing, preserving and re-using data sets as well as other types of research objects like workflows and software. Furthermore, Public Sector Information, potentially valuable for research purposes, is provided openly by governments although not always in forms that enable re-use.

Metadata is a critical factor in this area, actually providing the means to promote black-box digital files to discoverable and re-usable objects. A key requirement is capturing and disseminating rich descriptions of research output in standard, semantically clear forms, including contextual and provenance information, such as relationships of publications and data sets with people, organisations, funding information, facilities and equipment. This metadata needs to be some extent independent of a particular research domain, to foster collaboration and re-use of data sets across disciplines and vertical communities, while still allowing the recording and utilisation of domain-specific information. A range of open issues have to be addressed towards these goals.

The aim of this Special Track is to serve as a forum for experts to present recent results and experiences, establish liaisons with other groups and reflect on the state-of-the-art of metadata and semantic aspectsof open repositories, research information systems and data infrastructures.

Re: Right click onpaste search

Michael Schofield — 2013-05-22T20:54:36

Hey Nancy,

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's possible with js to add to the native context menu. You can imagine all sorts bad uses [i.e., if I were feeling evil I would replace the "Copy Link Address" function with one that downloads a trojan]. If this kind of functionality is super important, what you could do is


1.       Disable the default context menu

2.       Create a div (styled however you want) to replace it.

I would probably do something else with highlighting text.  Maybe when the user highlights text, append that text as a hidden value to a "Search!" button. You can get the highlighted text simply with window.getSelection()

var text = window.getSelection().toString();

I would definitely write in some checks to make sure you're not grabbing gibberish from an image that's been highlighted, but that's pretty much it. It's vanilla js so should work with no problem in any jquery function.

=====================================================================

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

It is estimated that more than 50 percent of academic libraries offer
streaming video services, and many faculty are incorporating streaming video
content into their classes. Libraries are making excellent strides in
supporting this information need. Collection and acquisition options and
strategies, as well as legal issues associated with streaming video, will be
highlighted during the webinar.

AGENDA

.         Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily: Wading into Streaming Video -
deg farrelly, Media Librarian, Arizona State University Libraries
The 2012 chair of the National Media Market (http://www.nmm.net/
<http://www.nmm.net> ), media librarian deg farrelly, will examine how video
collection development differs from the print models librarians already know
and the current state of streaming video from leading educational video
distributors. The discussion will cover collection and pricing models,
hosting options, and options for content identification and selection, as
well as issues in library workflow related to streaming video.

.         Streaming and Digital Collections: legal responsibilities and
pitfalls - Terrence McCormack, Associate Director and Head, M. Robert Koren
Center for Clinical Education, Charles B. Sears Law Library, University at
Buffalo
Law librarian Terry McCormack will review the legal issues related to the
streaming distribution of licensed and unlicensed media content via
institutional networks and the Web. The discussion will include the types of
streaming media license agreements and the related implications concerning
fair use, use in perpetuity, and the rules associated with distant
education. The speaker will also address how agreements may define and
stipulate the life of streaming content, types of digital storage, and
methods of access. In addition, the obligations of the institution or
library in obtaining copyright releases and permissions for streaming
distribution of scholarly proceedings and related content will also be
discussed.

REGISTRATION

Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm
Eastern on June 12, 2013 (the day of the webinar). Discounts are available
for NISO and NASIG members and students. NISO Library Standards Alliance
(LSA) members receive one free connection as part of membership and do not
need to register. (The LSA member webinar contact will automatically receive
the login information. Members are listed here:
http://www.niso.org/about/roster/#library_standards_alliance

Call for Proposals: SWIB13 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference ("Semantic Web in Bibliotheken"), 25.11. - 27.11.2013, Hamburg

Linked Open Data (LOD) has become a widespread method for the publication and management of data on the web. Many libraries and related institutions have already run projects or launched products that comply with the LOD paradigm. New projects, services and tools are emerging continuously.

The SWIB conference aims to provide substantial information on LOD developments relevant to the library world and to forster the exchange of ideas and experiences among practicioners. SWIB encourages thinking outside the box by involving participants and speakers from other domains, such as scholarly communications, museums and archives, or the publishing and news industry.

As in the years before, SWIB13 will be organized by the North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz) and the ZBW - German National Library of Economics /  Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. The conference language is English.

Is there an interesting service, research topic or project that you would like to present at the conference? Or, can you offer giving a tutorial or a workshop on the afternoon of 25 November? We appreciate  proposals on the following or related topics:

Projects & Applications

* publication & consumption of linked data
* integration of LOD into productive library applications
* authorities and knowledge organization systems (thesauri, classifications, ontologies)
* mash-ups (using data from different sources)
* crowdsourcing approaches

Technology (focus on Open Source software)

* semantically enhanced data publication
* data integration/enhancement/mapping
* searching/information retrieval
* linked data in library systems

Standards & Best Practices

* Bibframe, DAIA & other library specific open standards
* provenance information
* providing updates & syncing data sources
* open data licensing

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals by *26 May 2013*. 
Please include an abstract of 1000-1500 characters and submit your abstract using our website at http://swib.org.

Introduction to Drupal for Libraries (online course)

Rory Litwin — 2013-05-22T13:41:29

Introduction to Drupal for Libraries

Instructor: Cody Hennesy
Dates: June 1-28, 2013
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175

http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/023-drupal-1.php    

There is a robust and growing community of libraries using Drupal, the open source content management platform, to create and manage library websites and services. In this asynchronous, 4-week online course you will build a Drupal site from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience with Drupal core tools and concepts. We will pay special attention to Drupal features as they relate to the specific organizational needs of libraries and library web services.

This is an introductory level course, and though familiarity with HTML and CSS will be helpful, they are not required. Each student will get a free development account with a cloud-based Drupal service and will have continued access to their course website after the course finishes.

Learning outcomes:

- Ability to build a website in Drupal 7.
- Hands-on experience using Drupal core features: fields, nodes, modules, blocks, menus, users, and themes.
- Knowledge of Drupal in the context of designing and managing library websites. 

Cody Hennesy is the E-Learning Librarian at the University of California, Berkeley, where he focuses on the intersection of the library, technology and learning. He has coded a variety of academic library sites and tools and recently developed the front-end for the online resource, Alternatives in Print: A Directory of Alternative Publishers and Critical Periodicals.

Re: question about Pedro Almodovar

Mullin, Amy — 2013-05-21T16:17:24

Dear Luna,

I am not sure what you mean by 'scientific production". The free online resource, IMDB, has a good page on him: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000264/?ref_=sr_1

If you have access to an online database such as Marquis Who's Who or Biography in Context, you could probably find additional biographical information.

The UC Berkeley Library has a great page on other film databases: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/filmstudies/searchabledbs.html

Epson Expression 10000XL discontinued as of Friday March 1, 2013

Kent Gerber — 2013-05-21T16:08:04

I thought it might be helpful for those of you who are involved in
digitization activities to know that the Epson Expression 10000XL has been
discontinued as of Friday, March 1, 2013.

Here is one site with the information,
https://m.cdwg.com/shop/products/Epson-Expression-10000XL-Color-Flatbed-Scanner-Graphic-Arts-Model/661175,
and you will also see "discontinued" on the Epson website.

This has large implications because it is the standard piece of hardware
for the library, archive, and museum community who depend on its
dependability and flexibility.

Does anyone know of a more recent model of scanner that is comparable?

I still think it is a good purchase even now but wonder for how long that
will be true.

What thoughts do you all have about this?

Kent

If you're an academic librarian, you're probably already awash, at least peripherally, in news about MOOCs-massive open online courses have been touted as the next big thing in higher ed since they burst on the scene about a year ago. If you're a public librarian, on the other hand, you may not even have heard of them. Yet MOOCs are bringing unprecedented challenges and opportunities to both kinds of libraries already, and they're only going to grow.

2> Librarians: Your Most Valuable MOOC Supporters



What about libraries? That's the question on our minds as the world declares its love for massive open online courses, or MOOCs. Libraries are a major part of universities, but they're almost entirely missing from the MOOC conversation. That's a big mistake.

Libraries offer resources, from research to licensing support, that are essential to the future of MOOCs as they grow both in numbers and in seriousness. As MOOCs become an increasingly valid and valuable resource, it's clear that they can benefit from another great educational resource: librarians.

The MOOC Challenge

What MOOC Librarians Can Do

Take a MOOC
Become a Part of MOOC Development
Offer licensing and access support.Develop course research guides.
Create library MOOCs.

[snip]

"We're at the beginning, not the end," Proffitt says. MOOCs have a lot to offer students and the future of online higher education, and librarians are in a great position to help this fledgling resource grow in depth and quality. There's so much librarians can do, and there are many opportunities for development.
