Welcome to the nice Hope Scholarship session.
I'm Rebecca MacLeod, managing director of the Harvard Dataverse science review. Nice board member and your moderator for today's session. Like this conference, the nisa Plus Scholarship program is now in its fourth year supporting this strategic goal to improve diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. The Scholarship program is intended for anyone who feels that their voice and views are currently underrepresented in the information community.
I would like to thank oclc for their support of the 2022 scholars and Digital Science for their support of the incoming class of 2023. Today's Scholarship session spotlights the 2022 cohort members who were asked to answer the question what standard is currently missing and most needed at your organization? Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity for you, the audience, to discuss the standards that are currently missing at your organization and to ask the cohorts questions.
So let's get started. I'm very pleased to present the following members of the 2022 cohort Allison onyeka Reddy, Bethany Arsenault, Russell mihalic and Yumi Austin. Hello, everyone. My name is rusty McCulloch and I'm the director of the library in archives equity beacon college in Wilmington, Delaware. I'm a nice Scholarship recipient for 2022, and I'm really grateful for the opportunity to speak to you about which standard is currently missing and most needed at my organization.
I'll be discussing the antsy knights of z 39.887 2006. Parentheses are 2017 that in parentheses data dictionary standard, which I'll be referring to as a standard for the remaining of the presentation. I'll share why it is important for my organization, why small academic libraries and institutions with similar collections should consider adopting it. One specific example of how the lack of the standard has affected our organization is our institutional archives collection.
A few years ago, we had a large number of our images digitized by geil for free, but None of the images were associated with any metadata. This has been frustrating for our community stakeholders who expect to be able to easily find and access the digitized artifacts. Digitizing still images for us at a small academic library is difficult since our staff is small. With not one person dedicated to working in archives.
We rely a lot on challenging on student workers to create metadata. Relying on student workers is challenging because onboarding and training are time consuming by the time they are very competent with the tasks assigned to them, they have graduated. The data dictionary standard provides a consistent set of metadata elements and definitions for describing digital images, making it easier to create, manage and exchange technical metadata.
This is especially helpful for small institutions with collections of digital still images as it makes it easier to share and manage those assets. The standard also includes guidelines for creating and maintaining metadata records, as well as best practices for metadata management. Implementing a new standard can be challenging for any organization, but it can be especially difficult for small libraries.
Some of the challenges that small libraries may face include a lack of resources such as staff, time and funding devote to the project. Additionally, small libraries may have limited technical expertise, making it difficult to understand and implement the standard. Furthermore, small libraries may have more limited it infrastructure.
For preservation, making it harder to integrate the standard and existing systems and processes. Finally, small libraries may have limited staff capacity to maintain and update the metadata records, which will require a continuous effort to keep the metadata accurate and up to date. Despite these challenges, adopting a data dictionary standard can bring significant benefit to small libraries and their community stakeholders, and they encourage other small libraries to consider adopting the standard.
Despite all the benefits of using the standard, small libraries may not have adopted it yet. This could be due to a lack of awareness and preference for using other metadata standards or perceived implementation challenges. However, the benefits of adopting the standard far outweigh any challenges. It will be great. It will greatly improve the access to your collection for your community stakeholders and it make it easier to share and manage your assets.
In conclusion, the data sharing standard is a vital resource for anyone working with digital still images. It helps ensure that technical metadata is consistent, accurate and interoperable. I encourage other small libraries and institutions to consider adopting the standard. You can find more information on the ISO website. And if you have any questions or need guidance on how to implement it in your organization.
Feel free to reach out to me. Hello, everyone. This is engineer D from Indira Gandhi development research, Mumbai, India. In the present world, the technology has been rapidly changing. Of course, it has tremendously impacted on libraries in terms of procurement of resources and providing access to them.
Most of the libraries they deal with the digital collection of resources which are available in a variety of formats. And it has become a tedious and. Challenging task for the librarians to capture the metadata from search resources in a standard format. In India, most of the libraries, including my organization there a to adopt Resource Description and access standard for capturing the metadata of the resources.
Rather than using the standards like mock Dublin code or Aca to. It is the need of the hour to adopt the standard for capturing the metadata to provide greater access to the information resources. And and as the more access points. I strongly believe that RDA is a more flexible, adaptable and interoperable metadata standard for capturing metadata.
And definitely it will help librarians to share and connect with the data more efficiently and also provide more and more access point to the resources. Hi my name is Bethany Arsenault, and I'm the digital discovery librarian for the Edmonton public library. The Edmonton public library is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada as part of my job. I work closely with our electronic resources.
This includes databases, e-books, audio books, streaming videos, magazines, e newspapers, online courses. Basically, any electronic format you can think of. We work with many different electronic resource vendors, all of whom provide usage statistics. But the metrics provided can vary widely from vendor to vendor. This can make usage reporting tricky, especially when trying to maintain any sense of continuity and consistency across the collection stats.
Because of this. I would say that the standard currently missing and most needed at my inauguration would be the ISO z 39.7 2013 information services and use metrics and statistics for libraries and information providers. Data dictionary. This data dictionary would be extremely helpful in setting up a standard definition set for e metric elements at my organization, allowing us to define everything from ebooks and serials to computer files, databases and free internet resources.
While standards like the counter code of practice are also helpful in providing guidance and usage reporting, they don't always take into account the different types of usage that public libraries see when it comes to electronic resources. The ISO information services and use standards provides definitions not only for different formats, but also definitions for metrics that can be useful for public libraries like views, visits, turn aways, et cetera.
The nicest standard information services and use metrics, metrics and statistics for libraries and information providers. Data dictionary can help bring consistency to public library electronic resource reporting, a landscape that tends to lack consistency due to the vast number of electronic resources and formats available. That's why I would choose this standard as the one most needed at my organization.
The nicest candidate that has had the most impact on my work is the sushi protocol. I work for consortia and I collect usage for about 28 libraries. Being able to auto harvest all that usage definitely makes my work more efficient and reduces the margin of error. Hello, I am Amy Langston, a resources and scholarly communication librarian at things University in Ohio.
US and I'm going to talk about what standard is currently missing and most needed at my organization. Since I have been working on counterfeit statistics for three years that things are now, I would like to see a better standard and practice about counter counter reports among us in the library. We have been systematically collecting account of our usage data through our JavaScript program we wrote and also to other usage visualization providers since 2019.
So we have lots of usage data when we but but we don't seem to always speak in the same language when we talk about them. For example, when we say e-book usage, does that mean e-book usage with open access or without open access? When we say this database is most popular, are we basing our opinion on the count of our database report or platform report?
We have a lot of usage data, but how can I share it with my colleagues in the most effective way. So that they can be informed properly and subsequently take the right moment? So my current goal is to learn more about aerosoles usage and create a good standard in practice about how to share it effectively with my colleagues and other stakeholders.
