Moving Towards Shareable Metadata
| Title: | Moving Towards Shareable Metadata (ID: CSD41643) | | Author(s): | Sarah Shreeves (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | A focus of digital libraries, particularly since the advent of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, is aggregating from multiple collections metadata describing digital content. However, the quality and interoperability of the metadata often prevents such aggregations from offering much more than very simple search and discovery services. Shareable metadata is metadata which can be understood and used outside of its local environment by aggregators to provide more advanced services. This paper describes shareable metadata, its characteristics, and its importance to digital library development, as well as barriers and challenges to its implementation. | | 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: | |
Guidelines for University Library Services to Undergraduate Students
| Title: | Guidelines for University Library Services to Undergraduate Students (ID: CSD4010) | | Source: | ACRL News | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | "These guidelines are intended to apply to library services to undergraduate students at research libraries and are to be used in conjunction with the ACRL "Standards for Libraries in Higher Education" (2004). At some institutions a separate undergraduate library may exist; at others, staff and programs devoted to undergraduates may be present in the context of the general library. References to undergraduate library services in these guidelines apply to both of these contexts. The guidelines are designed as a tool to help those providing services to undergraduate students in a large university setting establish individual goals for developing, maintaining, and expanding those services within the context of their library's and university's goals." | | View this resource: | |
