Data Curation And Libraries: Short-Term Developments, Long-Term Prospects, Anna Gold
Data Curation And Libraries: Short-Term Developments, Long-Term Prospects, Anna Gold
Robert E. Kennedy Library
This paper was prepared as background for a talk given at AGU 2009 on “Data & Libraries.” It summarizes the developments and events from late 2006 through early 2010 that are shaping library roles in scientific data curation while underscoring the range, complexity, and varying granularity of systems, actions, and efforts involved. The main conclusions are: (1) leaders of major research libraries have committed their institutions to support data curation. (2) The library profession has demonstrated significant conceptual progress in characterizing and understanding data curation both in theory and in practice. (3) There has been progress since 2006 in legitimizing …
The Library As Publisher?: Collecting And Curating For Digital Repositories, Timothy T. Strawn
The Library As Publisher?: Collecting And Curating For Digital Repositories, Timothy T. Strawn
Robert E. Kennedy Library
The traditional role of libraries as aggregators, curators and disseminators of resources has been profoundly challenged by the notion of libraries as publishers of content. While publishing models include the ideas of aggregating, curating and disseminating content, these terms have radically different definitions in each context (libraries v. publishers). While we understand the motivation of publishers and their role in selecting and distributing content, much less is understood of the role that libraries should, or could play in the chain of “publishing” involved in their hosting of institutional repositories.
This paper will explore:

The Shoah Foundation's Visual History: U-M'S Access To The Holocaust, David Carter, Elliot Gertel, Nerea A. Llamas, Michael D. Miller
Robert E. Kennedy Library
In 1994, following the filming of Schindler's List, many survivors of the Nazi Holocaust came forward to offer their stories. Realizing that time was running out to document these personal histories, film director Steven Spielberg established the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation (SVHF). In late 2003, the U-M University Library initiated contact with the SVHF with the goal of bringing access to the Video History Archive to the U-M campus.
Campus Learning Spaces: Investing In How Students Learn, Stephen R. Acker, Michael D. Miller
Campus Learning Spaces: Investing In How Students Learn, Stephen R. Acker, Michael D. Miller
Robert E. Kennedy Library
To justify the substantial investment in bricks-and-mortar construction, colleges and universities must design and continually renew the physical spaces in which students learn. A variety of research studies document that today's students learn differently than did many of the faculty now teaching them and that the design of learning spaces can favor or disadvantage various ways of learning. Campus planners are challenged to build flexible interior spaces so that buildings with 100-year life spans can continually adapt to new generations of learners and our new discoveries of how people learn. Without this capacity to modify the learning environment, institutions put …

Library-It Partnerships: New Services For New Campus Demands, Stephen R. Acker, Michael D. Miller
Robert E. Kennedy Library
The roles of central information technology and library organizations are being transformed by demands that new campus services be delivered more effectively and efficiently. Both organizations have reasons for paranoia and reasons for optimism as they look into the future. Properly conceived, library-IT partnerships can reduce threats and increase opportunities.

Hgl: A Web-Enabled Geospatial Digital Library, David Siegel, Bonnie Burns, Tim Strawn
Robert E. Kennedy Library
Increasingly, institutions are implementing technology to search and deliver their geospatial data and metadata holdings via the Web. As the quantity of these holdings grows, both private and public institutions are seeking scalable, robust and non-proprietary solutions. With the widespread adoption of metadata standards taking a strengthening role in the daily practices of GIS professionals we can capitalize on existing technology to search and serve data effectively and refocus our resources on data acquisition. The Harvard Geospatial Library (HGL) provides a web-based interface for search and retrieval of geospatial data and metadata using open standards (MARC, FGDC, and XML) and …

Flow: Co-Constructing Low Barrier Repository Infrastructure In Support Of Heterogeneous Knowledge Collection(S), Karen S. Baker, Anna K. Gold, Frank Sudholt
Robert E. Kennedy Library
Institutional repositories are being constructed today to address the needs of scholarly communication in a digital environment. The success of such institutional infrastructures as knowledge collections depends in part on offering low barriers for participation and on supporting heterogeneous knowledge inputs and outputs. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in partnership with CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Science & Engineering Library, has modified CERN’s CDSware software to initiate the process of creating a local low barrier repository.

Individuals, teams, organizations, and networks can be thought of as tiers or classes within the complex grid of technology and practice in which research documentation is both consumed and generated. The panoply of possible classes share with the others a common need for document management tools and practices. The distinctive document management tools and practices used within each represent boundaries across which information could flow openly if technology and metadata standards were to provide an accessible digital framework. The CERN Document Server (CDS), implemented by a research partnership at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), establishes a prototype tiered repository …

Anticipating The Future: The University Of Michigan's Media Union, Michael D. Miller
Robert E. Kennedy Library
The Media Union is a new facility that brings together information resources, information technology, and media production studios. It is unique in the blending of those resources into an integrated program serving the entire University of Michigan and supporting interdisciplinary collaboration. The Media Union anticipates the future not only by the proximity of its informational resources but by bringing together different types of information specialists to work collaboratively. The article provides a thorough description of the facility, its administrative structure, and examples of how pre-existing organizational units made the transition into the new environment.
