Disability Justice In Libraries, Jessica Schomberg

Library Services Publications

Taking a disability justice approach means we have made a choice; we can't hide behind the idea of neutrality. But what is disability justice? Who is affected by it and what does it mean for library services and collections?

SPU Works

style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The novel coronavirus pandemic revealed many of the promises of our digital information revolution, but it also revealed many problems and raised fundamental questions about what we can know, what we may hope, and what we should do. As we reimagine what might be possible after the pandemic, librarians and libraries are well positioned to help shape better futures through critical, constructive, and ethical approaches to digital transformation. This paper explores our present information crisis and revolution, previous information revolutions, and strategic directions for integrating new technologies into our lives in ways that may enhance …

Knowledge Conversion On Naracerita: The Students’ Inheritance Of Digital Folklore Based On Media, Riche Cynthia Cynthia, Isah Cahyani, Yudi Wibisono, Rayhan Musa Novian

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Educational efforts to maintain national culture can provide learning resources in readings obtained from certain regional cultures. With intangible cultural wealth, such as folklore or fairy tales, Indonesian culture will experience extinction or cannot be found again if the story is not collected. The narrator's folklore writing platform is a digital platform as a local cultural heritage, in this case, folklore, by converting implicit knowledge into explicit knowledge to be passed down to students as a source of learning and reference. This study uses an ex-post-facto descriptive survey approach to 95 respondents during the socialization of the storytelling platform by …

Development Of An Archive At Monmouth Medical Center, Frederic Pachman

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Monmouth Medical Center, founded in 1887, was the first hospital at the Jersey Shore. Over the past thirty years there was a limited effort to develop archival and historical collections that document this rich history. In conjunction with the medical center's 125th anniversary in 2012, a consultant was retained to evaluate the archives, develop operational policies and prepare exhibits. Public programs and exhibits about the medical center have been presented to state and local organizations, and a schedule of historical programs is offered in-house during National Hospital Week. The archival collections were actively used to celebrate the medical center's anniversary …

Data Catalogs, Metadata, And Data Discovery: How Data Catalogs Extend And Enhance The Ir Ecosystem, Anthony Dellureficio

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Data catalogs contain metadata-only records for datasets, code, analytical tools, or other research outputs not traditionally included in bibliographic catalogs. The records include curated, enhanced descriptive metadata in order to supply additional access points, provide access instructions or explain data restrictions, connect researchers working on common topics, connect datasets with relevant analytical tools, track publications and funding associated with datasets, and highlight otherwise undiscoverable datasets while still accommodating concerns over PHI exposure. The Data Discovery Collaboration (DDC), a multi-institutional consortium providing a platform-agnostic community of practice to support research data discoverability through metadata, outreach, and software development, is focusing on …

Manuscript Repository To Support Rigor In Dnp Scholarship, Marina Cuneo, Claire Sharifi, Jo Ann Loomis

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree process supports the dissemination of nursing scholarship. Peer reviewed nursing journals have reported an increase in volume of student submissions over the past decade, but only some of them are initially publishable. As an alternative or supplement to journal submission, the University of San Francisco has developed a library-based institutional repository collection for these manuscript submissions that is globally findable, searchable, and accessible. Submission to the repository does not compromise rigor, and manuscripts can be submitted to peer reviewed journals when and if student and faculty are committed to the editorial process.

Grass Roots Efforts To Find Champions For Share, Heather Steel

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The IR at Children’s Mercy Kansas City (SHARE@Children’s Mercy) has technically existed for four years; however, the IR previously operated in a silo and few staff members were aware of its existence. In the last year and a half, the IR has experienced a complete overhaul not only in administration, but also in terms of self-promotion. This change was brought about due to staff changes in the library team responsible for the IR and a dedicated effort to promote the IR across the hospital. This presentation will address the steps the library services team undertook to bring the IR out …

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

This case study presents what happened when new leadership for the Virginia Journal of Public Health brought new questions about journal quality, value, and impact. Conversations initially began with the liaison librarian about the nature of journal publishing and open access today.

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal (1953-1992): Modernizing Historical Research, Joann Krzeminski, Steven Moore, Julia Pope

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The Henry Ford Hospital Medical Bulletin began publication in 1953, and was published quarterly by Henry Ford Hospital and the Edsel B. Ford Institute for Medical Research. It was meant as a venue for recording and distributing the professional activities of Henry Ford Hospital staff, residents, and alumni, as well as materials related to academic and scientific meetings and symposia hosted by Henry Ford Hospital. In 1967, the bulletin's name changed to the Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal. The journal ceased publication in 1992.

Publishing Partnership: Facilitating Open Access Through Libraries Collaboration With Clinical Departments, Jessica Petrey, Sarah Frankel, Rachel Howard

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

When the University of Louisville Libraries launched the ThinkIR institutional repository on the bepress Digital Commons platform in 2015, we anticipated offering open access journal publishing several years in the future. However, the Division of Infectious Diseases’ eagerness to find a venue to facilitate the equitable movement of research and information into the larger global community resulted in a partnership beginning in 2016 to publish two open access journals on the platform, which then served as a model for other health sciences journals, including one from the Emergency Medicine Department. The benefits, including the opportunity to provide free open access …

Next Generation Research Information Hub: Esploro Smart Harvesting In 2021—Enabling Comprehensive, Accurate, And Automated Coverage Of Your Scholarly Assets And Expertise, Dave Stout

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Historically, a primary challenge for repository managers has been successfully capturing and exposing as close to 100% of an institution’s research assets and activities as possible. It is traditionally a resource- and time-intensive endeavor. Ex Libris’s Esploro addresses this challenge head-on with our Smart Harvesting AI, first by leveraging the industry leading Central Discovery Index (CDI) (which drives the Primo and Summon discovery services), and second by automating the routines needed to harvest repository content. The CDI provides clients immediate access to an incredible foundation of over 4.5 billion records from which they can populate their Esploro IR and comprehensively …

Figshare Repositories: New Data-Sharing Features For Researchers And Librarians, Andrew Mckenna-Foster

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

With expanding funder data sharing policies, especially the new NIH data management and sharing policy slated for 2023, we expect that researchers from medical research institutions will increasingly need trusted repositories to share data and all of the other products of their research. However, the complexity of sharing medical research data, even when anonymized, means data are often not shared despite funder policies. In the past year, Figshare, a trusted repository platform that meets funder requirements across the globe, released a suite of new features to fit data sharing needs, increase impact, and encourage sharing. Useful to both researchers and …

Community-Driven Repository Infrastructure Programs At Lyrasis—An Overview, Paolo P. Gujilde, Sheila Rabun, Hannah Rosen

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Academic libraries, and institutional repositories in particular, play a key role in the ongoing quest for ways to gather metrics and connect the dots between researchers and research contributions in order to measure “institutional impact,” while also streamlining workflows to reduce administrative burden. Identifying accurate metrics and measurements for illustrating “impact” is a goal that many academic research institutions share, but these goals can only be met to the extent that all organizations across the research and scholarly communication landscape are using best practices and shared standards in research infrastructure. For example, persistent identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCID iDs (Open …

A New Partnership: An Institutional Repository And A Systematic Review Search Deposit Service, Stephanie Roth, Will Dean

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

In fall 2020, Temple University Libraries launched the university’s first institutional repository, TUScholarShare, as a place to collect, manage, and provide public access to Temple’s research, data, and teaching outputs. Shortly thereafter, this initiative prompted a collaborative effort of the Libraries Research Data Services and Systematic Review Search Service to deposit search strategies and citation results as data in TUScholarShare. With these deposits, we hope to make systematic reviews more open and reproducible by making the search strategies and results discoverable to the research community at Temple University and beyond.

Digitizing The Accolades: Documenting Institutional Research Impact With A Video Time-Capsule, Jeanette Aprile

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The Health Sciences Library at New York Medical College has made its annual Faculty Author Celebration and Awards event a tradition 27 years-running. Over the last quarter century, the event has evolved with the digital age, finding an archival home in our institution’s digital repository, Touro Scholar, beginning in 2018. While we have used Touro Scholar to publish our annual awards list, depict the event in photos, and of course collect New York Medical College faculty publications - 2020 was the first year that our repository has been used to host the Faculty Author Celebration and Awards event itself. We …

Finding Our Stride – A Health System Repository 4 Years In / “Providence Patents – Using An Institutional Repository To Promote Technology Transfer, Heather J. Martin, Amanda Schwartz

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

In 2018 Providence launched its Digital Commons Institutional Repository (IR) becoming one of only a small group of large health systems providing such a service. In nearing the end of Year 4 there has been sustained growth and continued engagement of this initiative. Expanding on the initial ask from senior leadership to simply track and compile Providence scholarly activity, subsequent years saw significant development in scope and scale of the IR. New projects included the creation of special collections, including: COVID-19 Research; Environmental Stewardship; Genomics; Diversity & Inclusion; and a Patents collection. The library partnered with nursing and graduate medical …

Going Beyond The Ir: Using Content-Specific Platforms And Targeted Outreach To Provide Integrated Access To A Medical School’S Education Scholarship, Brandon T. Pieczko, Hannah J. Craven

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

To increase local contributions to medical education scholarship, a medical school began hosting an annual school-wide conference in 2020. Two librarians worked proactively with conference organizers to preserve and provide access to presentation materials and session recordings. This targeted outreach became more effective in the second year as students and faculty were invited on the conference submission form to express interest in contributing materials to the university’s institutional repository. The librarians were able to use this list of interested participants to obtain permissions, additional information, and address potential questions rather than relying on a post-hoc solicitation of conference materials. Workflow …

‘Open-Ish Access’ And Collaborative Solutions For Sensitive Information: The University Of New Mexico’S Native Health Database, Jonathan Pringle

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

For over 25 years, the UNM Native Health Database (NHD-www.nativehealthdatabase.net) has functioned as a centralized repository for abstracts describing Indigenous health information, though content was frequently hidden behind physical, digital, and monetary barriers. In 2020, UNM’s Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center began a project to migrate over 10,000 records into a new database, supported by the Mukurtu CMS (www.mukurtu.org) platform. In addition to providing direct access through embedded content, this new platform provides for the ability to establish nuanced access protocols to prevent unintended access to sensitive materials. The creation of these protocols is predominantly Indigenous-led, with content creators …

Riding The Wave: Getting Faculty On Board With The Ir During The Pandemic, Jennifer M. Langford, Randall Watts

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic initially caused widespread academic conference cancellations, leaving many University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) faculty members without a means to present scholarship required for the annual review process. Faculty members concerned about meeting their scholarship requirements appealed to campus administration for assistance. UTHSC’s Health Sciences Library (HSL) was able to step in and offer the library-managed UTHSC Digital Commons repository as a solution to this dilemma. The urgency of faculty concerns, combined with positive messaging about Digital Commons coming from campus administration, increased campus interest in the repository. Ultimately, as conferences transitioned to …

A Study Of Selected Makerspaces: An Overview, Anjali Sandesh Kale Dr.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Makerspace is a recent phenomenon. It is defined as a place where people interested in similar things come together to work and share ideas and equipment. Due to its widespread benefits, it has been incorporated in schools, colleges, universities, and libraries all over the world.
