Evaluating Scholarly Communication Services And Programs To Plan For Sustained Success, Jacklyn Rander, Matt Ruen
Digital Commons+ Great Lakes User Group
The scholarly communications program and institutional repository at Grand Valley State University began in 2008, and in its first seven years, grew rapidly. Our team, recently-expanded, now includes three full time positions, and through our repository we host open textbooks, open-access journals, and thousands of documents. Our initial growth was organic and opportunistic, which enabled this initiative to successfully take root in the University Libraries. The next challenge for our scholarly communications program is to make sure those early roots are strong and healthy, so that we can sustain our initial success through the next seven years and beyond.

At Kent State, we work on Digital Commons all times of day so communication is important. We utilize many of bepress’s built-in features to facilitate this. Based on our conversations with other Digital Commons institutional repository managers, many of Digital Commons’ built-in features are not used or not used to their fullest potential. We are moving toward taking full advantage of built-in features in our workflow and hope to push beyond what is available and to suggest enhancements from bepress. We aim to use built-in features for training, internal communication within our team, external communication with authors and rights holders, …

"Make It Work": Patching Together A New Ir Workflow To Sustain Growth, Teresa Schultz
Digital Commons+ Great Lakes User Group
Growing an institutional repository at a small university library with limited resources brings a number of challenges, and VU is no different. The Christopher Center Library has no dedicated employees who work solely with its IR, ValpoScholar, and instead relies on a mix of interns and other employees to create records and upload works in their spare time. VU has had some success in finding faculty works for ValpoScholar through self-submissions for an annual celebration of faculty research and by searching databases but wanted to see if there was still a better way. In Fall 2014, the library began to …
How To, And How Not To Recover And Preserve Two Orphan Journals: A Case Study Of The Journal Of Communication Therapy And Insight And Hindsight, Paul Blobaum
Digital Commons+ Great Lakes User Group
The OPUS repository at Governors State University, University Park IL was launched in May, 2014. The Repository replaces Dspace. Materials in the University Archives were reviewed for possible candidates for digitization and utilization of the Digital Commons Journal series structures for optimal showcasing of archived content of these defunct journals that originated at the University. Copies of the Journal of Communication Therapy, and Insight and Hindsight, journal were discovered in the University Archives, and identified for recovery of the publication's opus (filling in missing issues), digitization, and archival preservation. A collaborative effort with Texas State University library was implemented to …
Academic Publishing Folklore: Finding A Unified Narrative For Open Access, Dave Johnston
Academic Publishing Folklore: Finding A Unified Narrative For Open Access, Dave Johnston
Digital Commons+ Great Lakes User Group
There is often no systematic means by which information about open access and the scholarly publishing landscape is shared between faculty, students and administrators and the particular concerns can vary considerably from discipline to discipline. The patchwork of beliefs about open access and publishing on our campuses bears more similarity to a body of folklore, an academic publishing folklore. Like all folklore, it can contain elements of both misinformation and truth.
Working as a librarian in a scholarly communications role brings with it the responsibility of conveying the importance of open access to faculty members, students and administrators in order …
An Integrated Digital Services Model For Institutional Repositories, M Ryan Hess
An Integrated Digital Services Model For Institutional Repositories, M Ryan Hess
Digital Commons+ Great Lakes User Group
DePaul University Library created a suite of digital services to support faculty projects which addressed common hurdles to repository adoption. In a faculty survey we ran in the fall of 2014, faculty reported an unawareness of the repository, uncertainty of how they might use it. However, they also reported that they placed value on the repository services we presented to them and a desire to hear more information. Anecdotally, we also heard the common refrain that faculty are too busy and too technologically challenged to engage with the repository on their own. In response, we defined several interrelated services to …

Big, Fast, And Familiar: Looking At And Past Google As Bff, Calvin H. Wang, Adam N. Hess
Library Faculty Scholarship
An observation of search behavior reveals that users lose the forest for a single tree by clicking on promising search results too quickly. Converse with your BFF to determine what it knows, how much it knows about it, how well it knows it, and then how to use what it knows to move on to the specialists. This session will help you see connections that you might already see intuitively so that you can help users refine their own judgment skills about what Google results are telling them. The presenter will engage participants in analyses of several case studies.

In-House Print Book Use At Seton Hall University Libraries, Lisa M. Rose-Wiles, John Irwin, Kathryn Wissell
Lisa M Rose-Wiles
In 2013 we analyzed print book circulation at Seton Hall University Libraries. Circulation was relatively low, but our data took no account of in-house circulation (books that were removed from the shelf but not checked out). In our continuing efforts to assess use of library resources and collection development practices, we examined in-house use of print books and compared it with statistics for books checked out for May 2013-14..

Boom & Bust: The Perils Of Guaranteed Long Term Contracts. Evidence From Ops100 Performance Over The Contract Cycle, Heather M. O'Neill
Boom & Bust: The Perils Of Guaranteed Long Term Contracts. Evidence From Ops100 Performance Over The Contract Cycle, Heather M. O'Neill
Business and Economics Faculty Publications
This study focuses on panel data of 256 MLB free agent hitters under the 2006-2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) to demonstrate that hitters, on average, increase their offensive production, measured by OPS100, during the last year of their contract and subsequently underperform the first year of the newly signed long term contract. The contract year phenomenon arises from the incentive to land a lucrative guaranteed contract for players not intending to retire. Signing a long term guaranteed contract creates an incentive to shirk (underperform) the first year of the new contract because performance and pay become unlinked and the need …

Internship And Practicum Requirements In Archival Education, Gavin T. Strassel, Meghan M. Courtney
Internship And Practicum Requirements In Archival Education, Gavin T. Strassel, Meghan M. Courtney
Reuther Library Scholarly Publications
Archivists have long debated the nature of archival internships and practicum requirements as components of archival education. Advocates cite these requirements as the best way for emerging archivists to acquire hands-on training, while critics worry they can be used to further student exploitation and a devaluation of professional archivists’ labor. This presentation examined requirements in graduate archives programs and compared them to accepted guidelines for internships in the archives profession and the American economy at large. These presentations draw on original survey data collected by the presenters from educational programs listed on the Society of American Archivists’ Directory of Archival …

The View From The Film Reel: The Representation Of Archivists In Film, Anne Daniel, Amanda Oliver
Anne Daniel
Archivists are depicted in many different forms of pop culture, including books, television and films. These representations help shape how the world views archivists and situates the profession on the archival horizon. Building upon previous research in this area, this study aims to investigate how archivists are portrayed in film. Films involving archivists were selected and a content analysis of these films was conducted to address the following questions: is there an archivist in the film and how is the character portrayed? Is there a clear image of archivists portrayed in the films? How do these images affect how the …

Microaggressions: Small Actions That Are A Big Deal, Molly Higgins, Charlotte Roh
Microaggressions: Small Actions That Are A Big Deal, Molly Higgins, Charlotte Roh
Charlotte Roh
“Microaggressions” refer to those brief occurrences and encounters that subtly reinforce systems of power and privilege. The term can be applied across groups, including but certainly not limited to people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and individuals with disabilities. Libraries and information organizations are not immune to these microaggressions. They exist in our library catalogues, archives, research, professional organizations and interpersonal interactions. They have also garnered attention in the library world, through projects like the Microaggressions in Librarianship Tumblr, and a recent webinar on the subject put on by Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA). How do we create safe, affirming, …
Musical Similarity As Conceived By "Avid Recreational Music Listeners", Jason R. Neal
Musical Similarity As Conceived By "Avid Recreational Music Listeners", Jason R. Neal
Jason R. Neal
Over the past century, sociocultural and technological developments have fostered the emergence of what Peterson and Kern (1996) call “omnivorous” music listeners, as well as non-hierarchical forms of categorization like tagging. Despite such trends, genre remains the primary basis for ascertaining similarity in systems with musical content, metadata, or both. Furthermore, techniques employed within many recommender systems indirectly continue to reflect genre-based categorization and taste. This paper will provide an overview of the contexts in which such trends and tensions have emerged. It will also consider prospects for incorporating more actively nuanced dimensions of similarity into recommender systems, which could …
