Deep Dive Into KBART
Calling all content providers! Do you want create KBART compliant metadata files, but don’t know where to begin? Are you looking to upgrade your metadata from the KBART Phase I to the new KBART Phase II requirements? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, then this workshop is for you.
The Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum showcases a vast collection of balloons, art work, and aerial artifacts.
Our exhibits show the history of ballooning and highlights the science that has thrilled human imagination for more than a century. Take a trip and discover Albuquerque's renowned air and space museum today!
Transportation from the conference hotel to the Balloon Museum will be provided.
Clifford Lynch has referred to the “unresolved” dialectic between a vision of institutional repositories as providing a framework for managing new forms of digital scholarship while nurturing innovation, and the view that repositories are primarily a mechanism to transition the traditional scholarly journal literature to open access models. The latter view, with its focus on filling the repository with Green OA articles, has so far fallen short of achieving its stated purposes. This is, in part, a result of Green OA’s parasitic relationship to subscription publishing, as well as the difficulty of persuading researchers that such deposits have value to them. Repositories that have been guided by the former view appear to be more successful in recruiting content and connecting the value provided by the repository to the varied missions of the members of the community it serves. With nearly two decades of repository implementation to guide us, can we achieve a synthesis that refocuses the energy of repository managers on a more complete vision for the value that repositories can provide?
This presentation will explore various aspects of electronic resources licensing and panelists will discuss innovative approaches to management, workflow design, and current trends in language. The topics covered in the sessions will prove valuable to anyone interested in the evolving license landscape. Highlights of the discussion include:
This talk will examine the current open access environment - political, legal, financial - and the discuss the growing trend of opening up access to research outputs (both articles and data). It will also explore the implications this has for researchers, scholarly publishers and the larger academic community, and pose some thoughts on where the larger “open” movement might be headed, because when we embrace open, what is possible?
Authors for this presentation include: Denise Pan, Associate Director for Technical Services, University of Colorado Denver Auraria Library; Gabrielle Wiersma, Head of Collection Development, University of Colorado Boulder Libraries; Rhonda Glazier, Director of Collections Management, University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
One model of open access is the hybrid journal, which causes particular challenges for discovery and access. With access restricted at the article, rather than the journal level, it's surprisingly hard to get library users to OA content through catalogs, link resolvers, or even discovery tools. Chris will investigate some of the roadblocks and consult with publishers, librarians, and service providers to see what is currently being done to overcome this challenge. Are readers currently getting to OA content in hybrid journals through library systems and sites? Is the NISO License and Access Indicators Recommended Practice likely to change current practices? How are discovery tool vendors responding to this challenge? Can service providers outside of the traditional library content and software sector have an impact? After investigating all of these angles Chris will try to determine if there is a likely way forward and share what attendees can do to improve access to Hybrid OA journals in the short and long term.
There are 119,000 libraries in the United States (ALA figure). How many do we need? That is intentionally constructed to (in the correct sense of the word) beg the question of what counts as a library. This talk will be deliberately provocative and provide several different ways to think about the answer to the question -- and several answers.
