Publishing and Archiving an Open Access Law Review: The Marquette Law Review Experience

Berkeley Electronic Press et al. — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:16:47 PST

In August 2009, the Marquette Law Review made its 92 years of archives available open access through ePublications@Marquette, the library’s institutional repository. In doing so, the law review gained local control of its archives, created perpetual access, and improved the visibility of its intellectual assets.

Learn from Editor-in-Chief, Marvin Bynum, why the law review was persuaded to make the move, and from librarian Ann Hanlon, how the library used Digital Commons to support the transition.

Research Dataset - Asking for Permission: A Survey of Copyright Workflows for Institutional Repositories

Ann Hanlon et al. — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 08:37:37 PST

In October 2009, survey invitations were emailed via the OpenDOAR email service to 778 Institutional Repositories that met the OpenDOAR parameters of "content type=articles" and "repository type=institution". One hundred twenty-one completed online survey responses were collected from October 12 - November 12, 2009 using the SurveyMonkey tool. Please refer to the related publication for additional details and published findings.

Asking for Permission: A Survey of Copyright Workflows for Institutional Repositories

Ann Hanlon et al. — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 06:56:14 PDT

An online survey of institutional repository (IR) managers identified copyright clearance trends in staffing and workflows. The majority of respondents followed a mediated deposit model, and reported that library personnel, instead of authors, engaged in copyright clearance activities for IRs. The most common “information gaps” pertained to the breadth of information in copyright directories like SHERPA/RoMEO. To fill these gaps, most respondents directly contacted publishers for permissions. Respondents typically did not share publisher responses with other IRs citing barriers such as time, expertise, staffing and the need for improved methods for sharing data with copyright directories.

A Survey of Copyright Workflows for Institutional Repositories (poster session)

Ann Hanlon et al. — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:48:24 PDT

Many institutional repositories (IRs) provide open access to published work. The authors of those works typically transfer copyright or exclusive distribution rights for their work to their publisher. This means the author cannot themselves grant permission for deposit in the IR; rather permissions must be secured from the publisher.

In Fall 2009, the authors conducted a survey of institutional repository managers to gain a clearer understanding of the staffing, resources, activities and tools employed to clear copyright for published work, with the intent to deposit into an IR. This poster summarizes preliminary findings.

A Collaborative Workflow for Digitization of Unique Materials

Gretchen Gueguen et al. — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:28:44 PDT

This paper examines the experience of one institution, the University of Maryland Libraries, as it made organizational efforts to harness existing workflows and to capture digitization done in the course of responding to patron requests. By examining the way this organization adjusted its existing workflows to put in place more systematic methods for digital capture of unique collections, the authors hope to provide insight into the benefits and pitfalls of one model for scaling up digitization.

Investigating Primary Source Literacy

Joanne Archer et al. — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:28:42 PDT

Primary source research requires students to acquire specialized research skills. This paper presents results from a user study testing the effectiveness of a Web guide designed to convey the concepts behind “primary source literacy”. The study also evaluated students’ strengths and weaknesses when conducting primary source research.

Research Using Primary Sources (Poster Session)

Joanne Archer et al. — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 06:10:13 PST

The use of primary source materials poses a unique challenge to researchers, requiring the acquisition of specialized skills. Using an online research guide entitled "Research Using Primary Sources" (http://www.lib.umd.edu/special/research/) as a starting point, we tested 23 undergraduate and graduate students to assess how well they understood how to find and use special collection materials. The study goes beyond questions of navigability towards a deeper understanding of research behaviors. The initial results indicate that undergraduate, and even graduate, researchers often overcomplicate their search strategies based on behaviors learned for traditional library research. Expectations based on past experiences play a significant role with the types of primary sources student researchers may find and also with how they may construct their search strategy. While dependence on library search strategies is not always effective when searching for primary source materials, the fact that users remember and try to implement these skills points to the need for archivists to provide a model specifically designed for primary source instruction. Additionally, although results point to a need to reevaluate our access tools, particularly finding aids, specific archival terminology did not provide a significant challenge to users if they were given access to simple definitions and explanations. These preliminary results indicate that a more concerted effort at user education within the archival profession - both in person and online - could significantly improve research strategies for our patrons.

Using the Dublin Core to Document Digital Art: A Case Study

Ann Hanlon et al. — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:29:06 PST

The @art gallery is a digital art gallery affiliated with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Art and Design. The exhibits in the gallery consist entirely of digital art often created exclusively for the Web environment. The authors, as part of a project conducted for the Digital Imaging and Media Technology Initiative at the University of Illinois, used the gallery for a case study to test the applicability of the Dublin Core metadata format for digital art. In addition, they used the Arts and Humanities Data Service's Discovering Online Resources Across the Humanities as a guide to best practice. Several challenges were presented by this study, including how best to extend Dublin Core to accommodate the multiple access points necessary to discover a work of digital art, how best to encode the FORMAT element to effectively describe the tools needed to view works of digital art, and whether their use of Dublin Core would translate into a record in CORC. The study indicates that Dublin Core elements must be qualified and repeated to clearly document the particular and unique characteristics of digital art and that the Dublin Core implementation in CORC does not always accommodate this use of Dublin Core.
