Game Changing Factors Impacting The Scholarly Records, Aaron Tay

Research Collection Library

Invited talk for 18th Annual Library Leadership Institute - Hong Kong | 17 - 20 January 2022.

In this 2022 talk Aaron Tay, reflects and expands on the talk he gave at the OCLC APRC in 2018 where he proposes 3 main trends that will impact the long term future of academic libraries.

1. Increasing diversity of the Scholarly Record

2. Push towards "Open"

3. Increasing effectiveness of technology - e.g.. Machine learning.

All three trends work indepdendently as well as reinforce each other. In this updated talk he give examples of some of these trends from the use of …

Database Of Marginal Notation In The Psu 1490 Codex: Objectives, Organization, And Continuation, Andi Johnson

Extra-Textual Elements

Portland State University Library's combined 1490 editions of the Fasciculus temporum and Malleus maleficarum contain over 150 individual marginal markings and notations. These marks have been made by numerous readers throughout the monograph's five-century lifespan.

This report accounts for efforts to construct a tool that would allow future students and scholars to visually compare and organize marks was needed before any in-depth analysis of readership could be made, describing the objectives, processes and applications that have defined its development. The tool that was needed was a visual database that enables the visual comparison of markings within the two texts. This …

Possible Methods For Incunabula Digitization For Preservation And Analysis, Steven Andrews

Provenance and Preservation

This paper explores different approaches that PSU’s Special Collections Department might take toward digitizing its 1490 incunable containing Werner Rolewinck’s Fasciculus temporum and second-edition Malleus Maleficarum. Digitization will reduce wear-and-tear of the volume and allow access to its contents by a wider range of users.

The Application Of The Right To Be Forgotten In The Machine Learning Context: From The Perspective Of European Laws, Zeyu Zhao

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

The right to be forgotten has been evolving for decades along with the progress of different statutes and cases and, finally, independently enacted by the General Data Protection Regulation, making it widely applied across Europe. However, the related provisions in the regulation fail to enable machine learning systems to realistically forget the personal information which is stored and processed therein.

This failure is not only because existing European rules do not stipulate standard codes of conduct and corresponding responsibilities for the parties involved, but they also cannot accommodate themselves to the new environment of machine learning, where specific information can …

Conference Roundup - Code4lib 2022 Report, Rachel S. Evans

Articles, Chapters and Online Publications

Established in 2003 , Code4Lib welcomes hundreds of developers each year to their annual conference . The overarching theme of the group is to bring together program-centric librarians who are committed to the creation and use of open technologies. As you might imagine, this attracts all sorts of librarians from various environments including academic, public, and corporate sectors, and individuals carry a mosaic of titles including systems and electronic resources librarians, metadata and cataloging librarians, faculty services and research librarians, and those who work with discovery layers, online collections of all shapes and sizes, and many who care deeply about …

Archiving Feminist Truth In Trump’S Wake Of Lies, Julie Shayne

Humboldt Journal of Social Relations

This article is about an assignment I do in one of my Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies social movement classes. I revised the assignment the first time teaching the class after Trump lost the 2020 election. For the assignment, students work in groups to research local feminist and gender justice organizations and deposit all of their original materials – recordings, photos, flyers, etc. – into a digital, open access archive I co-created several years ago with librarians and staff on my campus. In 2021 I had my students do the “post-Trump” edition where they researched local organizations about how their …

Cross-Departmental Authority Heading Creation: A Case Study, Janelle Zetty, Heather C. Plaisance

Faculty Scholarship

The Cataloging and the Reference and Research Services departments at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Edith Garland Dupré Library collaborated to create name authority headings for the Library of Congress Name Authority File. The project’s primary goal was to increase the number of the library’s contributions as a Name Authority Cooperative Program participant. The Head of Cataloging determined which Louisiana persons needed name authority headings and compiled a list of names for Reference & Research Services staff to investigate. After using various online resources to collect biographical information, staff submitted their findings via a Google Form. The Head of …

Design And Development Research: Prototyping In Web Opac For Indonesian Children, Rifa Nadila, Riche Cynthia Johan, Gema Rullyana

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

As a searching tool for bibliography sources in libraries, OPAC should provide convenience to meet the users’ information needs, with notes that every user has different needs and characteristics. OPAC at large libraries in Indonesia, including the National Library of Republic Indonesia, is designed without adjusting children’s ability and is mostly used for adults. The need for children’s OPAC development in Indonesia and children’s unique characteristics in searching strategies is defined as problem backgrounds. Therefore, this study aims to develop a simple search OPAC in simulated prototype form. The Design and Development method is used by adapting stages of the …

Streaminghub: Interactive Stream Analysis Workflows, Yasith Jayawardana, Vikas G. Ashok, Sampath Jayarathna

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Reusable data/code and reproducible analyses are foundational to quality research. This aspect, however, is often overlooked when designing interactive stream analysis workflows for time-series data (e.g., eye-tracking data). A mechanism to transmit informative metadata alongside data may allow such workflows to intelligently consume data, propagate metadata to downstream tasks, and thereby auto-generate reusable, reproducible analytic outputs with zero supervision. Moreover, a visual programming interface to design, develop, and execute such workflows may allow rapid prototyping for interdisciplinary research. Capitalizing on these ideas, we propose StreamingHub, a framework to build metadata propagating, interactive stream analysis workflows using visual programming. We conduct …

Theory Entity Extraction For Social And Behavioral Sciences Papers Using Distant Supervision, Xin Wei, Lamia Salsabil, Jian Wu

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Theories and models, which are common in scientific papers in almost all domains, usually provide the foundations of theoretical analysis and experiments. Understanding the use of theories and models can shed light on the credibility and reproducibility of research works. Compared with metadata, such as title, author, keywords, etc., theory extraction in scientific literature is rarely explored, especially for social and behavioral science (SBS) domains. One challenge of applying supervised learning methods is the lack of a large number of labeled samples for training. In this paper, we propose an automated framework based on distant supervision that leverages entity mentions …
