An Assessment of Access and Use Rights for Licensed Scholarly Digital Resources (JCDL 2006 Poster)Eschenfelder, Kristin R. January 2006 (has links)
This is a poster in a VERY large powerpoint slide. To view it, you should choose a 33% view option. To print it on one page, you need to choose a "scale to fit paper" option in print options. The poster contains more data than the accompanying document from the proceedings which is also available in dLIST. The poster reports the initial results of a study investigating how technological protection measures (TPM), or digital rights management systems, are used on licensed full-text digital scholarly resources from history, health sciences and engineering. The study results describe the range and variation in access and rights restrictions experienced by a typical user of assessed resources. Results also summarize librarian perceptions of the interactions between the restrictions and learning, teaching, scholarship and library management. Methodological lessons learned are also described.

Impact of Internet on LIS Education & Role of Future LibrariansMajumder, Apurba Jyoti, Bose, Sharmila January 2008 (has links)
Internet is the buzzword for today's information community. The www is threatening to replace the
traditional library system. The only way to survival of the library professionals is to adapt themselves to the new
technologies and become cyber- librarian. The information superhighway has imposed a challenge to the existing
information professionals to provide information exhaustively and timely. The librarians should keep themselves upto-
date every moment with the new developments and to meet the diversified queries of the new generation users.
This paper gives a brief idea about the impact of internet on LIS education and its utility in libraries.

Adapting Educational Resources for Collaborative On-line Peer ReviewWeatherley, John January 2001 (has links)
Digital Library for Earth Science Education, DLESE / This thesis looks at a computer-mediated communication (CMC) and publishing system used to facilitate collaborative peer review of multimedia educational objects. The occurrence of electronic scholarly publishing has increased dramatically in recent years due in part to the immediacy and overall reach of the Internet and it’s ability to transmit diverse forms of electronic media. Previous studies indicate, however, that there is a perceived lack of prestige and legitimacy associated with electronic journals as well as electronically enabled peer review. This is due in part to a perceived lack of permanence associated with electronic media, a lack of familiarity with electronic media and a lack of fully developed conventions of citation. New forms of electronically based peer review have been explored that enable a collaborative review process among reviewers and authors, breaking from traditional models where communication channels are mediated through an editor. The ability of CMC to enable collaboration within geographically dispersed communities offers strong motivation for its use. This thesis develops a framework for collaborative peer review based on social capital that suggests an overall benefit for scholarly communities that incorporate collaborative forms of review. An examination is performed of collaborative peer review used in a new journal that features multimedia-rich geoscience educational objects: the Journal of Earth System Science in Education (JESSE). Technical issues surrounding the preparation of these objects for the CMC review environment are discussed and a process model for publishing is developed. A redesign of the toolkit used to prepare objects for the review environment is implemented and task-centered usability assessments are performed. The outcome of these steps suggested a potential for increased legitimacy and prestige of electronic publishing could develop out of a well-designed CMC environment and collaborative review model. It was found that scholars who participated in the peer review perceived a benefit from the collaborative process and that the process was seen as providing a separate service from traditional peer review. On the publishing end, the redesigned toolkit implementation was seen as providing greater accessibility to non-technically oriented users.

Writing for the Web: A Primer for LibrariansSchnell, Eric H. January 2003 (has links)
The most time consuming aspects of managing a library Web service are the creation and maintenance of site documents and assets. Although the organizational structure and contents of a Web site varies from library to library, participants in all library Web projects need to be familiar with the concepts and terminology associated with creating documents and resources for the Web.
This document is not an in-depth HTML guide, but is instead a general introduction to Web content creation. Newer technologies are briefly described and references to other resources are provided. This is also an interactive document and provides the reader access to associated resources.

Every Library's Nightmare? Digital Rights Management and Licensed Scholarly Digital ResourcesEschenfelder, Kristin R. 02 1900 (has links)
This study explored what technological protection measures (TPM) publishers/vendors of licensed scholarly resources employ by assessing the use restrictions experienced in a sample of resources from history/art history, engineering and health sciences. The analysis develops a framework of use restrictions that distinguishes between soft TPM - which discourage use - and hard TPM - which strictly limit or forbid uses. Within soft TPM, the framework identifies six use discouraging TPM: extent of use, obfuscation, omission, amalgamation, frustration and threat. The study concludes that these soft TPM are common in licensed scholarly resources. Further, while hard TPM are less common, they are not unknown.

Uses of Figures and Tables from Scholarly Journal Articles in Teaching and ResearchSandusky, Robert J., Tenopir, Carol, Casado, Margaret M. January 2007 (has links)
This paper describes how scientists utilize specific journal article components, the tables, figures, maps, photographs, and graphs contained in journal articles, to support both their teaching and research. These findings are taken from a comprehensive investigation into scientistsâ satisfaction with and use of a prototype retrieval system that indexes tables and figures culled from scientific journal articles. Rather than focusing on seeking and searching, this paper summarizes four ways in which scientists utilize the information they find in tables and figures obtained from journal articles. While the first type of use described here, creating new fixed documents, confirms the findings of previous research, the other three types of use reveal emerging practices with journal article components: creating documents to support performative activities; making comparisons between a scientistâ s own work and the work of other researchers; and creating other information forms and objects.

Who is an Authorized User?: Analyzing Socio-Technical Access Regimes for Licensed Digital ResourcesZhu, Xiaohua, Eschenfelder, Kristin R. January 2007 (has links)
This is a submission to the 3rd Annual Social Informatics SIG Research Symposium: The Social Web, Social Computing and the Social Analysis of Computing. This paper describes changes in the configuration of access regimes for scholarly information licensed to libraries and information centers in the United States from late 1960's to the early 2000's. While access regimes are typically thought of as technical systems (e.g., proxy servers, password systems), we conceptualize access regime as amalgams of political, contractual, economic and technical elements that define who can use licensed digitized scholarly information. The paper describes changes in access regimes over three overlapping eras of scholarly information dissemination: (1) early tape based abstracting and indexing services, (2) CD-ROMs, networked CD-ROMS, and early Internet accessible full text journals, and (3) post 1997 full text Internet resources.
