Digital Libraries and IT- Library Collaboration
The Content of Collaboration
| Title: | The Content of Collaboration (ID: ERM0736) | | Author(s): | Daphnee Rentfrow (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) | | Origin: | EDUCAUSE Review Articles (2007) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The author discusses the delicate balance of creating collaborative relationships between faculty, librarians and IT staff. One such Fellowship effort is sponsored by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). In attracting recent Ph.D.s who believe that there are opportunities to develop meaningful linkages between disciplinary scholarship, libraries, archives, and evolving digital tools, the program brings scholars with both teaching and digital experience into the academic library so that they may serve as a bridge between librarians, faculty, and IT professionals. | | View this resource: | |
Preservation of Scholarship: The Digital Dilemma
| Title: | Preservation of Scholarship: The Digital Dilemma (ID: FFPIU028) | | Author(s): | Deanna B. Marcum | | Origin: | Publications from the Forum for the Future of Higher Education (2002) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | Marcum notes that content creators today play a critical role in the chain of scholarly communication now that digital capture techniques are widely employed. This role, when coupled with faculty and administrators expectations for long-term access to materials based on the paper model, must now take into consideration the physical lifetimes of digital storage media which are often surprisingly short. From the custodian's point of view, it is now important to capture the attention of the content creator's while they are creating digital content so as to affect the decisions they make and help them make become the stewards of their own intellectual property. | | View this resource: | |

| Title: | Digital Libraries: Building Capacity Through Partnerships (ID: NCP0550) | | Author(s): | Helen M. Shuster (Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Pennie Turgeon (Clark University), and John Woycheese (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) | | Origin: | Presented at NERCOMP Conferences (03/08/2005) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | With their portal interfaces, digital libraries enhance search capabilities, provide evaluation of content quality, aggregate results, and enable browsing of content by categories. Learn how WPI's faculty, librarians, academic technology staff, and Web development office addressed collection, cataloging, and content distribution challenges as they built an NSF-funded digital library prototype. | | View this resource: | |
