Jason Casden, My #HuntLibrary at NC State
Harvesting images from Instagram to see how students are really using new library
James Stuart, Taming Email
Hydra
Scholarsphere at Penn, making the repository “less janky”
Avalon at Northwest
Pre-conferences and breakouts I attended: Discovery services (improving service integration), Data visualization using D3, LMS integration (Libguides, LTI), Community ProjectShare Board
Common themes:
Building communities around shared needs, people who care
Better testing
Better use of analytics
Service transparency and “don’t hate your users”:
Making ILL more obvious
Occam’s Reader: e-book lending using document delivery model
Data visualization, e.g. D3.js
Video, audio discovery
CNI Spring 2013
Executive Roundtable on Author Identity
Plenary, Herbert Van de Sompel
From the Version of Record to A Version of the Record
In 2000, spoke on digital environment possibilities. "None of this has really happened, but here we are" still working on these problems.
The Scholarly Record is changing
Contributors to the scholarly endeavor are taking central stage
Enabled by:
Online identities in a variety of portals and social networks
Contributions to social networks
Portals(...?)
Contributors in the periphery
Contributors take Center (Web) Stage
rewards and credit for what they can provide
Surface Your Scholars
Advocate web presence for scholars:
professional portals
academic portals
asset-oriented portals
reference portals
social networks
Benefits
increased visibility, metrics for scholar, institution
1998-2013 15 year evolution
a true understanding of what the web really means
fundamentally leveraging web infrastructure
network of interconnected resources
It is possible to tackle the challenges today by leveraging existing web architecture
Proposal: And if we can leverage it here, we can leverage it to solve other problem domains
Questions response:
"We need more chaos in the altmetrics area, not less until we can start to identify approaches that work and can be agreed on."
A Toolkit for Digital Research
Kaitlin Thaney, Digital Science, digital-science.com
FigShare, Altmetric, etc.
Oregon State and U of Oregon digital publishing collaboration
Could be really beneficial to keep this in mind with main campus or others.
Environmental Scan and User Survey
Faculty most wanted dedicated time and knowledge about/access to tools
Students wanted internships and experimental space
Graduate-level courses are really popular because they allow students *time* to devote to learning the tools.
Sharing across universities (30 minutes apart)
Phase 1
Training
Credit Courses
External Grant Consultation and Support
Speaker Series/ Symposiums
Internal Digital Scholarship Center Fellowships
Phase 2
Increased capacity for projects
both U's use Hydra, Drupal, eventually Scaler(?)
Goals for 2013
Foster community of digital scholars
Access to AWS has been very popular with students - library has account "We can spin up a VM for you on demand where you can experiment."
Core Values
Agility
Collaboration
