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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to the following: - Metadata, knowledge representation and relevant standards in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Semantic interoperability and information integration in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Application of semantic web technologies in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Data infrastructures (e.g. scientific data, public sector information) - Contextual and provenance metadata in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Metadata interoperability for data infrastructures across disciplines - Metadata quality in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Mechanisms, tools and infrastructures for shared services in open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures - Digital preservation workflows and mechanisms and impact on metadata - Value-added services based on open access repositories, research information systems and research infrastructures IMPORTANT DATES 2013, June 20th: paper submission 2013, July 31th: acceptance/rejection notification 2013, August 20th: camera-ready papers due 2013, November 19-22: MTSR'13 in Thessaloniki.

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.

We're mainly considering it because we already use Innovative's Millennium ILS software and it is easy for us to stay with the same vendor, and the IRX version looks like it will allow us to create separate content areas and sets of credentials for different departments within our organization. Any feedback would be appreciated.

It will include data such as publication information, related organizations, and model licenses, and will be accessible across all US and UK academic libraries. The initiative was funded in June 2012 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is being led by the Kuali OLE partner libraries and JISC. The expectation is that a beta version will be launched this summer. The ultimate goal of the effort is to enhance the supply chain lifecycle for libraries in managing electronic resources while mobilizing community effort to add quality, timeliness and economies to the library management environment. Our speakers will be Kristin Antelman, Associate Director for the Digital Library, North Carolina State University, Raleigh and Liam Earney, Project Director, Knowledgebase Plus, JISC Collections. Some of the issues that they will discuss are: · The industry problems that led to the development of GOKb such as issues of data quality and inefficient data management across the supply chain · The approach taken to develop the repository, including principles of open data, collaboration, enhanced data, and use of standards and best practices. · How GOKb data will be used in current national and local-level services, such as Knowledge Base Plus in the UK and Kuali OLE · How it could be of use to entities of all types across the supply chain, including publishers and vendors · The approach to supporting community management of GOKb going forward In addition, a demonstration of a beta version will be provided. If you or your staff want to learn more about this new global initiative and what role publishers may play, register for the NFAIS webinar today. NFAIS members pay $105, Sister Society members pay $115, and non-members pay $125. An unlimited number of staff from NFAIS member organizations can participate for a group fee of $255. The group fee for an unlimited number of staff from any Sister Society is $275, and from a non-member organization is $295.

In this 6-course certificate program, you will learn the fundamentals of user experience (UX) and how to apply user-centered strategies to library websites and beyond. The program begins by teaching you the key concepts of UX design and how to employ them in your website projects. Next, you will learn the ins and outs of information architecture: how to structure and organize your content so that it is both discoverable and navigable in the easiest way possible. The next two courses will give you the tools to continually get feedback on your website through usability testing and other research methods. You will then learn how to better write for the web so that once your users discover your content, they can both understand it and act on it. Finally, you will learn how you can create a web site content strategy, so that from that point forward all your content will be useful, usable, and findable. All together, these courses cover a breadth of topics that will equip you with ! the skills necessary to create, manage, and sustain library websites that provide an excellent user experience. http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-ux.php Courses in the series: Designing a Usable Website (Concepts of User-Centered Design) Dates: June 2013 Instructor: Carolyn Ellis Information Architecture: Designing Navigation for Library Websites Dates: July 2013 Instructor: Susan Teague-Rector Do-It-Yourself Usability Testing Dates: August 2013 Instructor: Rebecca Blakiston Beyond Usability Testing: Other Research Methods Dates: September 2013 Instructor: Sonali Mishra Writing for the Web Dates: October 2013 Instructor: Nicole Capdarest and Rebecca Blakiston Developing a Website Content Strategy Dates: November 2013 Instructor: Rebecca Blakiston Library Juice Academy P.O.
