A Convoluted Web: Reusing Metadata To Highlight Faculty Scholarship,, Ashley D. Lowery
A Convoluted Web: Reusing Metadata To Highlight Faculty Scholarship,, Ashley D. Lowery
Library Faculty Presentations
What would happen if the same metadata creates multiple structures that focuses on highlighting faculty scholarship? At Georgia Southern University, the library staff reuses the same metadata to produce virtual bibliographies and bookshelves, faculty profiles, altmetrics, and an expertise search. Peer-reviewed publications initially are entered into departmental bibliographies and bookshelves in our institutional repository, Digital Commons@Georgia Southern. Only publications that faculty have published while at Georgia Southern are included. These citations are collected into university-wide bibliographies and bookshelves and SelectedWorks faculty profiles. The SelectedWorks faculty profiles also include peer-reviewed publications that faculty produced outside of Georgia Southern as well as …
Letting The Data Lead The Way: Georgia Southern's Journey With Alternative Metrics, Ashley D. Lowery
Letting The Data Lead The Way: Georgia Southern's Journey With Alternative Metrics, Ashley D. Lowery
Library Faculty Presentations
The landscape around alternative metrics has been evolving rapidly. Going from a twitter hashtag in 2011 to a key component in research evaluation at many institutions, metrics that move beyond citation counts and journal impact factor are here to stay. Metrics can now be harvested and applied to research around usage, captures, mentions, and social media, in addition to citations, giving a much more comprehensive and holistic view of impact. These new metrics are also much more timely than citation metrics and can keep pace with new formats much faster than the entrenched, legacy practices. However, as institutions begin to …
Ebsco's Plumx And Our Institutional Repository (Ir): Integration And Impact At Georgia Southern University, Ashley D. Lowery
Ebsco's Plumx And Our Institutional Repository (Ir): Integration And Impact At Georgia Southern University, Ashley D. Lowery
Library Faculty Presentations
In the summer of 2014, Georgia Southern University’s Office of Research & Economic Development acquired PlumX. At this time, the Zach S. Henderson Library staff had already created numerous SelectedWorks faculty profiles in their institutional repository, Digital Commons@Georgia Southern. In order to avoid duplicating work, the Office of Research & Economic Development tasked the presenter with integrating SelectedWorks and PlumX. In this fast learning presentation, GSU’s Ashley Lowery will talk about how the two systems integrate as well as the pros and cons of this integration. She will also discuss the outcomes of marketing PlumX alongside the IR.

A Fruitful Collaboration: Offering More Than Faculty Profiles, Ashley D. Lowery, Debra G. Skinner
Library Faculty Presentations
The institutional repository Digital Commons@Georgia Southern launched in Fall 2013. Faculty immediately began to utilize the services including journals/conferences sites and SelectedWorks faculty profiles. The repository also sparked an unexpected success: collaboration between the Zach S. Henderson Library and the Office of Research. The Office of Research created an Expertise Search and purchased Plum Analytics, two services that integrate with SelectedWorks profiles. The Expertise Search is a tool for users to find faculty members by expertise keywords. Plum Analytics provides faculty with traditional metrics (citations) as well as altmetrics (usage, captures, mentions, and social media). Through these tools, the Henderson …

Hip To Be Prepared: Tips For Managing Multiple Conferences In Your Repository, Ashley D. Lowery
Library Faculty Presentations
Digital Commons@Georgia Southern accumulated almost twenty conferences since its launch in Fall 2013. In addition to conferences, the repository also hosts journals, SelectedWorks author profiles, student research, and other collections. Currently, Digital Commons@Georgia Southern only has a few library employees (including students) working on the repository. In order to sustain and increase the conferences in the repository, the Digital Collections Specialist streamlined processes and discovered the best ways to collaborate with their repository’s clients. In this presentation, find out tips on meeting and training clients, separating the libraries’ from the clients’ responsibilities, creating support materials, etc. Throughout the presentation, examples …
