The life of a cataloger today is in a state of flux; as libraries continue to transition from a predominately print world to a digital one, catalogers need to secure a functional future. To do so catalogers must change their mental models to stay flexible and pertinent in an ever-changing information environment. A recent digital project undertaken at the University of Montana provides an example of how research and developments in the area of metadata and bibliographic control have influenced cataloging and metadata workflow integration.

If your institutional mission statement includes any of the following terms: disseminate, share, promote, produce, demonstrate, qualitative, or quantitative, the institutional repository provided through Digital Commons can help you accomplish that mission. Digital Commons at UMaine provides an opportunity to bring all of UMaine's scholarship, research, and creative work together under a single umbrella in order to preserve and distribute that work on a global level.
Establishing Relationships Between Risk Management And Knowledge Transfer, Garrett S. Haltiwanger
Establishing Relationships Between Risk Management And Knowledge Transfer, Garrett S. Haltiwanger
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Risk management (RM) and Knowledge management (KM) have mostly been treated as separate management philosophies. Risk management is a widely taught topic in academia and is practiced in industry. Knowledge management is being taught at increasingly more colleges and many companies are discovering a need for managing knowledge. This dissertation shows that some research has been conducted to apply the principles of knowledge management in establishing risk management plans. To a lesser extent there has been research conducted to apply the philosophies of risk management to identifying knowledge gaps and maintaining corporate knowledge. Both risk management and knowledge management are …

An Exploration Into Project Management: A Grassroots Experience In A Developing Nation, Brittany L. O'Brien
Senior Honors Projects
As a senior at the University of Rhode Island, it has been my experience that the knowledge that has been most successfully retained within my mind has been that which I gained through active learning. As an international development minor I have taken many courses on how developmental aid is provided around the world, and throughout these courses I have learned that the drive for creating those endeavors came from an understanding of need. In order to best complete my education on international development I created a sustainable developmental aid project which provided education for specific needs in Malawi, Africa. …

Project-Risk Management And Decision Analysis In Maritime Maintenance And Repair, Michael C. Plumb, C. Ariel Pinto, Rafael Landaeta, Resit Unal, Thomas Murphy
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications
The purpose of this paper is to provide insights regarding the implementation of using Project Risk Management (PRM) and Decision Analysis (DA) in managing projects for complex systems such as maritime vessels. The PRM approach apprehends many forms of risk both internal and external within a given project and assists the manager in determining the level of importance of each individual project phase and component to optimize project success. Ship Maintenance and Repair project decision-making requires that risk management and risk analysis techniques be applied in order to guide management in making better decisions to meet ship service life perspective. …
Creating Organizational Buy-In: Overcoming Challenges To A Library-Wide Discovery Tool Implementation, Meris A. Mandernach, Jody C. Fagan
Creating Organizational Buy-In: Overcoming Challenges To A Library-Wide Discovery Tool Implementation, Meris A. Mandernach, Jody C. Fagan
Jody C Fagan
While launching a discovery tool can be technically easy, establishing a process that will result in organizational buy-in for the tool is an exceptionally important first step for a successful implementation. Many lessons about creating organizational buy-in can be learned from experiences with federated search software and next-generation catalogs. Libraries must grapple with three critical areas before discovery tool implementation. First, the library will need to consider how the discovery tool will affect key library departments and create a plan for addressing their concerns. Second, training will need to be developed for staff as well as end users. Finally, monitoring …
