International Organizations And World Order, Shpendim Oxha, Fatos Rushiti
UBT International Conference
International organization is a relatively new practice of the functioning of societies around the globe. Both as a practice and as a defined idea, it appears relatively late in history. Although various forms of wider organization of some societies (states) in temporary unions are also noticed in ancient civilizations, yet this is not the essence of this phenomenon in the contemporary meaning of the word. Ancient communities were of a military nature. Unions of some against others were formed for military needs and as soon as wars ended, such unions disbanded. However, the development of capitalism even in modern times …

The Importance Of Public Participation In Building Up Democracies In Former Yugoslav States. Case Study: Kosovo And Croatia, Florentina Hajdari Hajra, Dritero Arifi
UBT International Conference
There is a large body of scientific literature in social science and governmental documents which deals with abstract norms and principles for assessing and judging public deliberation and participation. Almost all political scientists agree that public participation enriches democracy by helping to ensure better decision-making and strengthening politicians’ accountability to the people. But, what is the effect of public participation into transforming political systems, and what are the key factors that cause these transformations? These questions remain still unsolved completely. Through this article, the main purpose is to elaborate the effects of public participation on building up democracies (similarities and …
New Eu Methodology And The Accession Of North Macedonia And Albania, Blerim Reka
New Eu Methodology And The Accession Of North Macedonia And Albania, Blerim Reka
UBT International Conference
In my paper I will try to explain the new context of EU enlargement and its implication for the Western Balkans Countries within the new EU methodology of 2020. EU integration of the Western Balkans will be different compared with all previous accessions. This new context of enlargement is due to 2 new EU strategic documents: “New Methodology” of Enlargement and “Blueprint action plan for rule of law” of the European Commission. There is a new context of enlargement, where the process is becoming: more gradual, more conditional, more predictable, and reversible. New Methodology launched by EC on 5th February …

The Sun Shining In The Middle Of The Night: How Moving Beyond Ip Authentication Does Not Spoil The Fun, Ease, Or Privacy Of Accessing Library Resources, Michelle E. Colquitt
The Sun Shining In The Middle Of The Night: How Moving Beyond Ip Authentication Does Not Spoil The Fun, Ease, Or Privacy Of Accessing Library Resources, Michelle E. Colquitt
Charleston Library Conference
Gone are the days of unsecure access to electronic resources. Adoption of standards regarding secure access to resources is a step forward for the security and integrity of library resources. GALILEO, Georgia’s virtual library, is in the process of transitioning to authentication using OpenAthens. This paper discusses the technology behind single sign-on authentication, motivations for moving in this direction, and ends with a discussion of the Gwinnett Technical College library’s pilot site implementation of OpenAthens authentication.

Introducing Seamlessaccess.Org: Delivering A Simpler, Privacy-Preserving Access Experience, John W. Felts, Tim Lloyd, Emily Singley
Charleston Library Conference
Managing access to subscribed services in an era of abundance is a major challenge for libraries. Users have come to expect a seamless, personalized experience on their mobile devices, but traditional approaches to access management force librarians to choose between the anonymous ease of onsite IP authentication or the access friction experienced by users authenticating across multiple resources with Single Sign-On. Building on the work of the RA21 initiative, a recent NISO Recommended Practice on Improved Access to Institutionally Provided Information Resources charts a way forward. It will enable libraries to provide seamless, privacy-preserving and one-click access to its subscribed …

Rejuvenating Green Oa For A Greener Pasture, N V. Sathyanarayana
Charleston Library Conference
This paper is a critical sequel to John Dove’s paper titled “Maximum Dissemination: A possible model for society journals in the humanities and social sciences to support Open while retaining their subscription revenue”, presented at the Charleston Conference 2019. Dove’s OA advocacy has included both gold and green. Dove’s innovative model, which makes full use of the green route to achieve maximum dissemination of authors’ works through open repositories, suggests a switch in the functional responsibility for depositing author’s manuscript from author to publisher. The model has publishers to act as agents of the authors as much through the green …
Mit Press Direct And University Of Michigan Press Ebook Collection: First Year Lessons Learned And Future Prospects, Emily Farrell, Lanell White, Sharla Lair
Mit Press Direct And University Of Michigan Press Ebook Collection: First Year Lessons Learned And Future Prospects, Emily Farrell, Lanell White, Sharla Lair
Charleston Library Conference
In 2019, MIT Press and University of Michigan Press launched their own ebook collections for direct sale to libraries. Nearly a year has gone by. In that year, three basic truths have emerged and continue to guide them on this journey:
1. Establish Principles - Our principles must be our central reference point. We must innovate by taking a “values-based” approach not just a solely “value-based” selection process.
2. Embrace Exploration, Agility and Humility - We are perpetual searchers and seekers, always novices and beginners. Transformation comes from discovering the right questions more than having the right answers.
2. Take …
Maximum Dissemination: A Possible Model For Society Journals In The Humanities And Social Sciences To Support "Open" While Retaining Their Subscription Revenue, John G. Dove
Charleston Library Conference
It is well recognized that one of the hardest problems in the Open Access arena is how to ‘flip’ the flagship society journals in the humanities and social sciences. Their revenue from a flagship journal is critical to the scholarly society. On the one hand, it is true that the paywall which guards the subscription system from unauthorized access is marginalizing whole categories of scholars and learners. On the other hand, “flipping”to an APC based model simply marginalizes some of the same people and institutions on the authorship side. Various endowment or subsidy models of flipping create the idea of …
A Proposed Framework For The Evaluation Of Academic Librarian Scholarship, Rachel Borchardt, Polly Boruff-Jones, Sigrid Kelsey, Jennifer Matthews
A Proposed Framework For The Evaluation Of Academic Librarian Scholarship, Rachel Borchardt, Polly Boruff-Jones, Sigrid Kelsey, Jennifer Matthews
Charleston Library Conference
The ACRL Impactful Scholarship and Metrics Task Force has created a framework draft that is designed to help librarians and libraries contextualize their impact within academic librarianship. To create this framework, the task force studied existing disciplinary models, institutional guidelines, and surveyed academic librarians. The task force discovered few standard practices regarding impact measurement from disciplinary societies or in institutional documentation, but did find some larger models outlining distinct impact areas. The proposed framework outlines evaluation in two primary impact areas for academic librarians, scholarly and practitioner impact, with suggested metrics for a range of research outputs in each category. …

The University of Central Florida (UCF) Libraries offers a unique intersection between scholarly communication and subject librarians by implementing a robust subject librarian model that includes activities related to scholarly communication and partnering with UCF’s Office of Scholarly Communication to provide support on a variety of topics to the campus community. In particular, this model has been particularly effective with STEM disciplines. The subject librarians in these respective disciplines have actively …
Building Trust When Truth Fractures, Brewster Kahle
Building Trust When Truth Fractures, Brewster Kahle
Charleston Library Conference
In our current era of disinformation, ready access to trustworthy sources is critical. “Fake news,” sophisticated disinformation campaigns, and propaganda distort the common reality, polarize communities, and threaten open democratic systems. What citizens, journalists, and policymakers need is a canonical source of trusted information. For millions, that trusted source resides in the books and journals housed in libraries, curated and vetted by librarians. Yet today, as we turn inevitably to our screens for information, if a book isn’t digital, it is as if it doesn’t exist.
To address this gap, the Internet Archive is actively working with the world’s great …

Leading From Below: Influencing Vendors And Collection Budget Decisions As A Subject Liaison, Min Tong, Cynthia Cronin-Kardon, Steven M. Cramer
Leading From Below: Influencing Vendors And Collection Budget Decisions As A Subject Liaison, Min Tong, Cynthia Cronin-Kardon, Steven M. Cramer
Charleston Library Conference
Subject liaisons are responsible to their facility and students for subject-specific research tools funded by the library, but most subject liaisons don’t make the final decisions on subscriptions and other big-ticket items. How can we make effective recommendations to the decision makers? And how can we influence vendors about product development, pricing, and licensing issues as subject specialists but not budget controllers? In this lively discussion, the authors facilitated discussions of these questions with a group of librarians and vendors. After presenting one common model of a budget decision making process involving liaisons, budget decision makers, and vendors, we discussed …
Migrating To Alma Without An Acquisitions Staff: Evolving Acquisitions And Electronic Workflows From Their Legacy Silos, Jennifer K. Matthews, Christine Davidian
Migrating To Alma Without An Acquisitions Staff: Evolving Acquisitions And Electronic Workflows From Their Legacy Silos, Jennifer K. Matthews, Christine Davidian
Charleston Library Conference
When the decision was made to migrate to Alma integrated library system, Rowan University libraries had an acquisitions department and a moderate understanding of how this migration would occur. With the official announcement of the migration to Alma, the entire acquisitions team announced their retirement shortly thereafter. While Alma provided the library with an opportunity to reevaluate workflows and collaborations this was a curveball that no one was expecting.
Additionally, many resources were not traditionally tracked in Voyager, the previous library management system but tracked in Intota the previous electronic resource management system. However, these resources would now be tracked …

Dual-Campus Subject Librarians At University Of Central Florida, Barbara G. Tierney, Corinne Bishop
Charleston Library Conference
A new dual-campus subject librarian program is being rolled out at the University of Central Florida (UCF) whereby several subject librarians divide their time between two campuses, the legacy main campus in East Orlando and the new Downtown Orlando Campus. As of Fall 2019, four UCF subject librarians regularly travel to the new Downtown Campus to provide library support for academic programs, faculty, and students who recently relocated to the new facility. Dual-campus subject librarians are also maintaining support services for their assigned academic programs that remain at the UCF Main Campus. This article provides information and reflections about how …

The Time Has Come… To Talk About Why Research Data Management Isn’T Easy, Carol Tenopir, Jordan Kaufman, Robert J. Sandusky, Danielle Pollock
Charleston Library Conference
For the last decade, academic libraries have talked with each other and with potential partners about their roles in helping to manage research data and their plans to expand or initiate research data services (RDS). Libraries have the capacity to provide these services, but the range and maturity of research data services from libraries vary considerably. In summer 2019, our team surveyed a sample of academic libraries of all sizes who are members of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) to find out about their current RDS and plans for the future. This study is a follow-up to …
Reconsidering Literacy, Audrey Powers, Marc Powers
Reconsidering Literacy, Audrey Powers, Marc Powers
Charleston Library Conference
Literacy, until recently, was defined as the ability to read printed text and to understand the nuances of both the form and content of that printed text. More recently there has been a focus on subsets of literacy – data literacy, numeracy, visual literacy, media literacy, etc. – that recognizes the means of communicating ideas and facts are not limited to the printed text and that there are multiple means which may be more powerful ways of communicating in our world. In recent years, higher education has been redefining what it means to be educated – from a focus on …

Should You Pay For The Chicken When You Can Get It For Free? No Longer Life On The Farm As We Know It, Sharon M. Mattern Büttiker, James King, Susie Winter, Crane Hassold
Charleston Library Conference
The scholarly publishing ecosystem is being forced to adapt following changes in funding, scholarly review, and distribution. Taken alone, each changemaker could markedly influence the entire chain of research consumption. Combining these change forces together has the potential for a complete upheaval in the biome. During the 2019 Charleston Library conference, a panel of stakeholders representing researchers, funders, librarians, publishers, digital security experts, and content aggregators addressed such questions as what essential components constitute scholarly literature and who should shepherd them. The 70-minute open dialogue with audience participation invited a range of opinions and viewpoints on the care, feeding, and …
What Do Editors Want?: Assessing A Growing Library Publishing Program And Finding Creative Solutions To Unmet Needs, Julia Lovett, Andrée Rathemacher
What Do Editors Want?: Assessing A Growing Library Publishing Program And Finding Creative Solutions To Unmet Needs, Julia Lovett, Andrée Rathemacher
Charleston Library Conference
The University of Rhode Island (URI) University Libraries publishes five active open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journals on our DigitalCommons@URI platform. Our journal publishing program has grown slowly but steadily over the last decade, with new services added incrementally as needed. In early 2019, we conducted three focus group interviews with nine editors and assistants representing all of the journals on our platform in order to assess our journal publishing efforts. We asked editors to identify the successes, challenges, and unmet needs that they have encountered in the publishing process and what resources they have found to support their journals outside …
Representation Of Atypical Resources In The Discovery Layer: Metadata And Cataloging Aspects, Brian J. Falato
Representation Of Atypical Resources In The Discovery Layer: Metadata And Cataloging Aspects, Brian J. Falato
Charleston Library Conference
The discovery layer is commonly used in libraries to provide a more “Google-like” experience that offers one-stop searching. The original selling point of the discovery layer was that journal articles could be retrieved as well as monographs. But as libraries have acquired many other formats, particularly non-print, the discovery layer has struggled to provide results that include these “atypical” resources.
Metadata is crucial to the discovery layer because it is what is used for the search. The higher the quality of metadata, the better the retrieval results will be. NISO has provided a list of elements to be considered best …

Glimpsing Into The Future: Using The Curriculum Process System For Collection Development, Jennifer Young
Glimpsing Into The Future: Using The Curriculum Process System For Collection Development, Jennifer Young
Charleston Library Conference
One common problem facing academic libraries is the art of materials selection that ensures users have what they need when they need it, or at least the majority of the time. Methods frequently used are librarian selectors, faculty selectors, approval plans, and demand-driven acquisitions. Having close relationships with teaching faculty is pertinent when acquiring monographs to support the courses currently offered as well as those upcoming. However, when that relationship is not strong, libraries must find other methods to gather that valuable insight. This paper will cover how East Tennessee State University’s library uses the curriculum process system to inform …
