Flowing through the streams: A case study of Georgia Tech Library Public Services staffing expansion proposal through the lens of Kingdon’s three streams framework

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-10) Freeman, John Mack

The Georgia Tech Library Public Services Department proposed to expand the number of staffed service points throughout the Library to increase coverage and service. The proposal was well-received by Library leadership and earned priority placement in the Library’s annual budget request. The theoretical underpinning for this reception is an adaptation of Kingdon’s three streams framework of public policy adapted to internal policy work: namely, that success in internal requests requires the same confluence of problem, policy, and politics to open a window of opportunity to place the issue on the agenda of those who make decisions.

Bibliometric Study of Scholarly Writing and Publishing Patterns Concerning Copyright and Digital Images

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-05) Kennedy, Corinne Rebecca

With the advancement of technology and the digital era, new forms of displaying and accessing information are prevalent. The literature on the subject of digital visual resources—specifically art images—and copyright reflects a concern about how best to educate the academic community about these issues. Likewise, copyright law is difficult to navigate because of the absence of clearly defined guidelines and legislation. Libraries are left to develop their own interpretations of fair use and other aspects of copyright law. The author provides a brief overview of the literature on the subject of copyright and digital art images and presents a bibliometric study to identify publishing patterns on the subject.
Open Access Publishing and the Ends of Scholarship

Commentary on how framing discussions of Open Access publishing should focus on the desired ends and outcomes of scholarship.
Does Space Matter? Assessing the Undergraduate "Lived Experience" to Enhance Learning

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-10) Doshi, Ameet ; Kumar, Shilpi ; Whitmer, Susan

Developing an understanding of the lived student experience in relation to physical space is critical in order for designers to create spaces that work for the mobile, fast-paced, and multifaceted lives of university students.
ETD Management and Publishing in the ProQuest System and the University Repository: A Comparative Analysis

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-08) Clement, Gail P. ; Rascoe, Fred

INTRODUCTION: This study compares the two most popular ETD management and publishing systems used in the American higher education community today: the commercial ProQuest Dissertation Publishing system and the university repository. METHODS: Characteristics of these systems are identified and categorized in order to determine the features, functions, and policies common to both, and those that uniquely characterize one or the other system. Performing such a head-to-head comparison provides valuable information and insights to decision makers responsible for managing or overhauling their university’s ETD program. RESULTS: Comparison of characteristics shows the ProQuest system and the university repository both provide functional solutions for submitting, storing, disseminating, and archive ETDs using digital technology. Yet each system also has unique characteristics that distinguish it from the other. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION: The authors conclude that there is no single ‘best’ system for ETD management overall. Rather, it is up to decision makers at each institution to choose an approach that best fits their university’s values, goals and needs. Finally, the authors point out the need for a single portal for ETDs that allows for search and discovery of these unique works of scholarship wherever the full text resides. Future investigation into possible solutions for such an ETD portal would be a boon not only to universities and ETD authors, but to the broader community of researchers, students, professionals and interested citizenry who could benefit from easier access to this this growing corpus of knowledge.
If We Share Data, Will Anyone Use Them? Data Sharing and Reuse in the Long Tail of Science and Technology

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-04) Wallis, Jillian C. ; Rolando, Lizzy ; Borgman, Christine L.

Research on practices to share and reuse data will inform the design of infrastructure to support data collection, management, and discovery in the long tail of science and technology. These are research domains in which data tend to be local in character, minimally structured, and minimally documented. We report on a ten-year study of the Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS), a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center. We found that CENS researchers are willing to share their data, but few are asked to do so, and in only a few domain areas do their funders or journals require them to deposit data. Few repositories exist to accept data in CENS research areas.. Data sharing tends to occur only through interpersonal exchanges. CENS researchers obtain data from repositories, and occasionally from registries and individuals, to provide context, calibration, or other forms of background for their studies. Neither CENS researchers nor those who request access to CENS data appear to use external data for primary research questions or for replication of studies. CENS researchers are willing to share data if they receive credit and retain first rights to publish their results. Practices of releasing, sharing, and reusing of data in CENS reaffirm the gift culture of scholarship, in which goods are bartered between trusted colleagues rather than treated as commodities.
NSF DMP Content Analysis: What Are Researchers Saying?

Ideas, Hints, & Tips

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012) Kenly, Patricia E. ; Finn, Bette

Librarians can use outreach as a great way to enhance their reference and interpersonal skills. Our experience has shown that engaging in campus/community events such as "Earth Day" has indeed sharpened our reference skills. Further, these events showcased the Georgia Tech Library’s reference services and resources.
