Managing Uic Medical Center Policies Using Dspace, Julia Hendry
Managing Uic Medical Center Policies Using Dspace, Julia Hendry
Library Publications
The University of Illinois at Chicago’s University Archives found that using the DSpace institutional repository software is an effective, if not elegant, solution for the submission, search, and retrieval of a set of vital university records. This case study discusses the process of using the institutional repository to manage the University of Illinois Medical Center’s electronic policies and procedures documents.
Managing Geographic Data As An Asset: A Case Study In Large Scale Data Management, Clay Smithers
Managing Geographic Data As An Asset: A Case Study In Large Scale Data Management, Clay Smithers
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Geographic data is a hallowed element within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) discipline. As geographic data faces increased usage in distributed and mobile environments, the ability to access and maintain that data can become challenging. Traditional methods of data management through the use of file storage, databases, and data catalog software are valuable in their ability to organize data, but provide little information about how the data was collected, how often the data is updated, and what value the data holds for an organization. By defining geographic data as an asset it becomes a valuable resource that requires acquisition, maintenance …

Transactional Agents For Pervasive Computing, Machigar Ongtang, A. R. Hurson, Yu Jiao
Transactional Agents For Pervasive Computing, Machigar Ongtang, A. R. Hurson, Yu Jiao
Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works
Pervasive computing enables seamless integration of computing technology into everyday life to make upto- date information and services proactively available to the users based on their needs and behaviors. We aim to develop a transaction management scheme as a pertinent component for such environment supported by either structured or ad hoc networks. We propose Transactional Agents for Pervasive COmputing (TAPCO), which utilizes a dynamic hierarchical meta data structure that captures the semantic contents of the underlying heterogeneous data sources. Mobile agents process the transactions collaboratively, to preserve ACID properties without violating local autonomy of the data sources. TAPCO is simulated …

Digitizing Archival Collections: The Western Round-Up Student Newspaper Project, Elias Tzoc Caniz, Jacky Johnson
Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians
Libraries and Archives must continue to explore new avenues of accessibility of their archival collections for on- and offline patrons. A Digital Initiatives Librarian and Archivist will discuss and explore the spectrum of preservation and archiving of a student newspaper collection published at Western College from 1930 to 1971. They will discuss the creation of a historical database and how the new digital collection has changed and improved patron usage. In 2005, Miami University Libraries' Digital Initiatives Department along with the Western College Memorial Archives and the Western College Alumnae Association created a digital database for the Western Round-Up Project. …

Technical Services -- We're More Than Marc Records, Kiffany Francis, Barbara Strauss
Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians
The definition of cataloging is expanding beyond work with MARC records to work with other metadata schemes. The skills of technical services staff may be the greatest hidden staff resource ever! Learn how technical services staff at Cleveland State University Library have transferred cataloging skills to work with Dublin Core metadata, helping to expand content in ClevelandMemory.org, a showcase for the digital collections of CSU. Barbara Strauss and Kiffany Francis will discuss the context for this transition, their "getting started" project for training technical services staff, project management and the cooperation happening between technical services and other departments. It's not …

A Digital Archive Of Historical Railroad Property Valuation Maps, Dean Chauvin
A Digital Archive Of Historical Railroad Property Valuation Maps, Dean Chauvin
UCCGIA PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS
This paper describes the creation of a digital archive of railroad property valuation maps created for a railway line operated by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Company. The original maps were created by the railroad company in 1915 for the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Commission took data on railroad property into account in calculating passenger and freight rates. Property title schedules for parcels along the railway are provided with the maps. Linen copies of close to 3,000 original maps were donated to Archives and Special Collections, Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, University of Connecticut Libraries by the …

Dublin Core Metadata Harvested Through Oai-Pmh, Amy S. Jackson, Myung-Ja Han, Kurt Groetsch, Megan Mustafoff, Timothy W. Cole
Dublin Core Metadata Harvested Through Oai-Pmh, Amy S. Jackson, Myung-Ja Han, Kurt Groetsch, Megan Mustafoff, Timothy W. Cole
University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications
The introduction in 2001 of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) increased interest in and awareness of metadata quality issues relevant to digital library interoperability and the use of harvested metadata to build "union catalogs" of digital information resources. Practitioners have offered wide-ranging advice to metadata authors and have suggested metrics useful for measuring the quality of shareable metadata. Is there evidence of changes in metadata practice in response to such advice and/or as a result of an increased awareness of the importance of metadata interoperability? This paper looks at metadata records created over a six-year period …

Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences Faculty Publications
While there is a strong movement to develop new educational resources to bring students to the competencies represented by educational content standards, it is recognized that there are vast repositories of educational resources already developed that are suitable to address those competencies. However, these resources need to be indexed by national and state standards to make them accessible for teachers who are increasingly required to teach to certain educational standards (Diekema and Chen, 2005). In the early 1980s, a perceived a crisis in the American education system encouraged the creation of national standards by professional subject-area organizations such as the …
Creating Preservation-Ready Web Resources, Joan A. Smith, Michael L. Nelson
Creating Preservation-Ready Web Resources, Joan A. Smith, Michael L. Nelson
Computer Science Faculty Publications
There are innumerable departmental, community, and personal web sites worthy of long-term preservation but proportionally fewer archivists available to properly prepare and process such sites. We propose a simple model for such everyday web sites which takes advantage of the web server itself to help prepare the site's resources for preservation. This is accomplished by having metadata utilities analyze the resource at the time of dissemination. The web server responds to the archiving repository crawler by sending both the resource and the just-in-time generated metadata as a straight-forward XML-formatted response. We call this complex object (resource + metadata) a CRATE. …
Library Personnel’S Role In The Creation Of Metadata: A Survey Of Academic Libraries, Adonna Fleming, Margaret Mering, Judith A. Wolfe
Library Personnel’S Role In The Creation Of Metadata: A Survey Of Academic Libraries, Adonna Fleming, Margaret Mering, Judith A. Wolfe
UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications
The digital age has caused the paradigm to shift in academic libraries both in terms of their collections and the roles of their personnel. As academic libraries begin to digitize objects in their collections, how and who in the library creates access to these resources has become a hot issue. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries (UNL Libraries), taskforces were formed to study metadata schemes used at UNL Libraries. The taskforces identified the various metadata schemes in use and the role of various departments within UNL Libraries in the creation of metadata. They made recommendations about how to document decisions …

Beneath The Surface: Metadata, Transparency And The Ethical Use Of Information, Michael Katz
Michael Katz
While the gains from the digital revolution are tremendous in terms of increased efficiency, access to information and searchability, the change in information format has caught some off guard. No longer is data limited to what is available on a piece of paper. Yet there is a price to pay for these gains. Where once a letter’s recipient could not see anything but what the sender openly presented in the letter, today that email, word processing document and spreadsheet all contain additional information not readily visible on their face. Beneath the surface, packed into the file, exists metadata - information …
