Strategies and Frameworks for Institutional Repositories and the New Support Infrastructure for Scholarly Communications
| Title: | Strategies and Frameworks for Institutional Repositories and the New Support Infrastructure for Scholarly Communications (ID: CSD4745) | | Author(s): | Tyler Walters | | Source: | D-Lib Magazine | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | "Institutional repositories (IRs) are proliferating as they become an indispensable component for information and knowledge sharing in the scholarly world [1]. As their numbers increase worldwide, a new phase of IR development is emerging. Moving beyond their initial functions, IRs no longer serve solely as a place to store, organize, and access content. With rapidly changing technologies, users now desire and expect transportable content that can be utilized within various digital environments and reused in multiple formats, and they need forums for the rapid exchange of ideas with both on-campus and external communities. In response, universities and the libraries hosting IRs are looking for ways to weave their repositories into the "information fabric" of their campuses' academic and business processes and catalyze changes in scholarly communications more broadly." | | View this resource: | |
Coming Together around Library 2.0
| Title: | Coming Together around Library 2.0 (ID: CSD4573) | | Author(s): | Peter Miller (Bowdoin College), Peter Miller, and Peter Miller | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | 'Library 2.0' is a term that provides focus to a number of ongoing conversations around the changing ways that libraries should make themselves and their services visible to end users and to one another. Through white papers, articles, blog posts, podcasts, presentations and more, at Talis we are taking part in this increasingly global conversation. Library 2.0 is more, though, than just a stimulus to conversation. The phrase captures notions of disruptive change, and promises to challenge both the ways in which we consider our library services and the forms in which they are offered to potential beneficiaries. | | View this resource: | |
Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services
| Title: | Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services (ID: CSD4502) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2000) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Library resources and services in institutions of higher education must meet the needs of all their faculty, students, and academic support personnel, regardless of where they are located. This is the undergirding and uncompromising conviction of the "Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services." The principle applies to individuals on a main campus, off campus, in distance learning or regional campus programs, or in the absence of a campus at all. | | View this resource: | |
