Heinonline And Law Review Citation Patterns, M. Sara Lowe, Karen L. Wallace
Library Staff Publications and Research
The authors tested the proposition that the ubiquity of HeinOnline in law libraries would alter law review citation patterns. Has HeinOnline’s provision of the full runs of law reviews in full text led to more citations to older materials? This article reports the results of the study they undertook to test this theory.
Making E-‐Serials Holdings Data Transferable: Applying The Kbart Recommended Practice, Jason S. Price, Lori Duggan
Making E-‐Serials Holdings Data Transferable: Applying The Kbart Recommended Practice, Jason S. Price, Lori Duggan
Library Staff Publications and Research
The Knowledge Bases and Related Tools (KBART) project is an initiative of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and UKSG which has established a set of best practices for the exchange of electronic resource holdings metadata between content providers and knowledgebase developers. The benefits of KBART are that it relieves information professionals from the time consuming process of actively reconciling electronic journal title lists, and addresses the many inadequacies which are common in title holdings lists. As of June 1, 2010, KBART has been endorsed by American Institute of Physics, Ex Libris, Serials Solutions and OCLC. Information professionals can facilitate …

Library Staff Publications and Research
In 2004, Lesniaski revised White’s Brief Test methodology for smaller academic libraries that lack sufficient subject specialist librarians to perform the brief tests as originally proposed byWhite. As a part of regular collection development, Cowles Library implemented Lesniaski’s Brief Tests on the print monograph collection. While primarily a review of Lesniaski’s methodology, this article also discusses how the Brief Tests were used for improved collection evaluation and maintenance.
Tracking Electronic Resource Acquisitions: Using A Helpdesk System To Succeed Where Your Erms Failed, Xan Arch, Jason S. Price
Tracking Electronic Resource Acquisitions: Using A Helpdesk System To Succeed Where Your Erms Failed, Xan Arch, Jason S. Price
Library Staff Publications and Research
From selection to license negotiation through activation, libraries need the ability to track the electronic resource acquisition process and support uninterrupted workflow through multiple people and/or departments. Existing systems store fragments of information about a resource, but they don’t support management of the progress of each resource through the electronic resource acquisition maze. Stanford and Claremont have configured the JIRA and Footprints ticketing systems to address this fundamental need. Our systems facilitate efficient and complete activation of e-resources, and allow greater transparency in the acquisitions process throughout the organization. We will demonstrate the key features & functionality of our independently …
Defining Best Practices In Electronic Thesis And Dissertation Metadata, Rebecca L. Lubas
Defining Best Practices In Electronic Thesis And Dissertation Metadata, Rebecca L. Lubas
Library Staff Publications and Research
The University of New Mexico will mandate in 2009 that theses and dissertations be submitted in electronic form as the copy of record. These documents will reside in the university’s digital repository, operated on a DSpace platform. This article reviews practices for thesis and dissertation metadata creation with a focus on DSpace instances, best practice recommendations for authorsubmitted metadata, recommendations for subject analysis, and training for metadata practitioners. The article recommends processes for author submission, metadata quality control and enhancement, and crosswalking of the metadata to the library’s catalog to maximize discovery.

Digital Citizenship: The Internet, Society, And Participation, Allegra Swift
Library Staff Publications and Research
Building on their prior research on public policy and the Internet, the authors of Digital Citizenship examine the impact of the Internet on economic opportunity, civic engagement, and political participation. Karen Mossberger, Caroline J. Tolbert, and Ramona S. McNeal define “digital citizens” as those who use the Internet daily and with skill. Analyzing data from Current Population Survey (CPS) and Pew Internet and American Life Project surveys, the authors find that Internet use is lowest in the section of society that would benefit most. The surveys analyzed are compiled of questions about location, education level, work, earnings, computers use, marital …

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
Toward the end of July 2006, an item appeared briefly on the MAA website. This was the call for participants for the MAA Digital Library Workshop. Curious surfers like me clicked on it to find the description of this workshop, which was to be held over the course of a weekend in October 2006 in Washington, DC. The announcement included a cryptic sentence of the form “The primary aims of the workshop are to provide an overview of the two MAA digital libraries and of the National Science Digital Library, and to prepare participants to offer a short workshop on …
