ItemRestoring Trust Relationships within the Framework of Collaborative Digital Preservation Federations(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-03-11) McDonald, Robert H. ; Walters, Tyler O.The authors extend their process for creating and establishing trust relationships to include steps for restoring trust relationships after catastrophic events. Part of this model will include best practices for business continuity relationships and will integrate trust models from Holland and Lockett (1998) and Ring and Van de Ven (1994) and how they can be applied to a process for trust restoration after periods of disaster or critical data loss. These models provide key frameworks for understanding how trust can be utilized for collaborative start points as well as for collaborative recovery points from physical natural disaster or critical data loss. Additionally, the authors will present findings from an audience poll conducted on May 15, 2009 during the presentation of this topic at the 4th International Conference on Open Repositories with additional conclusions and commentary.

ItemSelected Internet Resources on Digital Reserch Data Curation(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010) Westra, Brian ; Ramirez, Marisa ; Parham, Susan Wells ; Scaramozzino, Jeanine MarieNetworked, data-intensive computational approaches to science play an increasingly important role across research disciplines, and this technology-rich environment alters both the content and modes of scholarly communication (Wright et al. 2007). The sheer volume of digital data produced in the sciences is staggering, presenting challenges to researchers and to publishers, funding agencies, and others both within and external to the academic community (Borgman, Wallis, and Enyedy 2007). The curation of digital research data and the development of related infrastructure are of great significance to the research community, as evinced by the National Science Foundation's DataNet Program. The program will ultimately fund five large-scale projects which will include new types of research organizations (DataNet Partners) to focus their research efforts in these areas. The curation of research data is defined as "stewardship that adds value through the provision of context and linkage: placing emphasis on publishing data in ways that ease re-use and promoting accountability and integration" (Rusbridge et al. 2005). According to Sayeed Choudhury, the implications of research data curation for libraries include: "Data as collections; data as services; librarians as data scientists; data centers as the new library stacks" (Choudhury 2009). As such, research libraries are developing services to support the intake, preservation and reuse of this digital content, and exploring new roles for libraries and librarians. A growing number of institutions have undertaken "collaborative action by cross-section partnerships of academe, government, industry and others" to develop new data curation resources, including case studies, standards and tools, policies, and training (Gold 2010). The resources listed below are reflective of the current state of knowledge, which will likely undergo significant changes as curation services and technology continue to evolve.

ItemInside ALA’s Emerging Leaders Program: How the Georgia Library Association Can Help You Get Involved(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Steiner, Sarah ; Renfro, CrystalThe American Library Association Emerging Leaders program, begun in 2006, has helped hundreds of librarians to improve their leadership ability, network with peers, and become involved with ALA. This article details the program's structure, content, goals, and future, and provides an insider’s look at its outcomes. The authors, two past GLA Emerging Leaders, share their thoughts on the program's efficacy and benefits. Finally, information on how the Georgia Library Association (and other ALA affiliates) can help future participants is included.

ItemGoing for the Gold: Identifying Academic-Quality Internet Resources(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008) Axford, Mary ; Renfro, CrystalThe purpose of this professional article is to review some of the key directories of Internet resources with a special focus on those that announce new academic-quality resources. Significant facets of the directories which will be incorporated in the discussion include scope of coverage, update frequency, identification of any e-mail alerts or RSS feeds offered, and resource selection criteria. Factors determining whether a site is given in-depth or brief coverage in this article include authority, currency, and whether sites are annotated and classified (the quality of the metadata). We also consider whether a site is broadly or narrowly selective. Broadly selective sites include many more resources, which can be an advantage, especially if they cover some of the more unusual topics in academia. At other times, one may be looking for a listing of a few good sites, so the more narrowly selective sites are more appropriate. Subject portals that cover only one topic are not included (as that would require a book); all the sites listed here cover many fields of study. Sites that meet all of our criteria are covered in more-in-depth reviews.We include shorter reviews for sites that, while not meeting all of our criteria, still offer considerable merit and deserve inclusion in our article. Last, in Appendix A, we provide a comparison chart summarizing some of the key facets of the sites reviewed. A literature review was conducted in the early stages of our project, and no comparable surveys of directories of Internet resources were discovered.

ItemReinventing the Library --How Repositories Are Causing Librarians to Rethink Their Professional Roles(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-04) Walters, Tyler O.The rise of digital repositories is helping libraries reinvent themselves. The benefits to libraries and universities creating institutional repositories (IRs) are great as libraries restructure, pursue collaborations, and re-position themselves to become major digital publishers and broadcasters in the scholarly world. They will no longer be passive receivers of information but active disseminators of intellectual output for entire universities. This article explores the IR's role in overall library transformation and examines the organizational changes and internal partnerships necessary to strengthen IR programs. Specifically, the creation of digital library initiatives units as well as changes to other library units are discussed.

ItemA Natural Collaboration: Preservation for Archival Collections in ARL Libraries(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007) De Stefano, Paula ; Walters, Tyler O.In-house collaboration between the archives and preservation departments of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member libraries is not well established. This article presents data from a survey of special collections repositories in ARL member libraries, conducted in 1995 and repeated in 2006, that document the low levels of collaboration. The authors probe the history and development of preservation efforts in archives and in libraries and make a case for further examination of how the expertise and resources of archives and preservation departments can be shared in managing the preservation of archival materials.

ItemCreating a BUZZ: Attracting SCI/TECH Students to the Library!(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006) Axford, Mary ; Bedner, Ray ; Carpenter, Cathy ; Critz, Lori ; Madden, M. Leslie ; Mathews, Brian S. ; Renfro, CrystalIn the land of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, we are "swarming" the campus with a multi-targeted publicity campaign. The Library's newly formed Information Services Marketing Group has launched several dynamic initiatives in 2005 -- all in an effort to raise the profile of the Library, to increase gate count and resource usage, and to expand campus-wide partnership opportunities in a fast-paced urban environment. Shattering the image of the library as a book mausoleum, our new programs include Tuesday Talks, an afternoon speaker series spotlighting exciting campus research, and T-Paper, a hip, student-oriented restroom newsletter. Emerging projects include a stereotype-bursting library entry in the University's Homecoming Parade and posters of "STAR" student-athletes promoting library resources. The Marketing Group is meeting some key challenges facing today's academic science libraries, by fostering campus connections, creating new collaborative opportunities with faculty, and helping to rebrand our Library as a progressive 21st century "apiary."
