  • Perspectives from Canadian Research Libraries
    Submitted on: May 8, 2013 New frontiers in Open Access for Collection Development: Perspectives from Canadian Research Libraries K. Jane Burpee Research Enterprise and Scholarly Communication, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada. [email protected] Leila Fernandez Steacie Science and Engineering Library, York University Libraries, Toronto, ON, Canada. [email protected] Copyright © 2013 by K. Jane Burpee and Leila Fernandez. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract: As the push for open access (OA) burgeons around the globe, it is important to examine OA as it relates to collection development practices. Canada has its own particular set of characteristics and approaches to service delivery based on its history and context. Like our global colleagues, opportunities for collection development in Canada include the support of OA journals, repositories, monographs and electronic theses. The strengthening of OA in Canada is tied closely with other issues. Political and educational realities as well as geographic spread are affecting the way the movement is strengthening and impacting collection development practices. In this context, we share the results of a study examining the scholarly communication landscape in Canadian research libraries. The results of interviews with librarians, who are leaders in scholarly communication activities at their own institutions, showcase the prominent role OA plays in enhancing collections at Canadian institutions. Collaboration and the role of cooperative collection development are covered. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening access to open scholarship in libraries regardless of their geographic location. Keywords: Open Access; Collection Development; Canadian Research Libraries; Interviews; Scholarly Communication 1 1 INTRODUCTION Open Access (OA) is defined as literature that is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions (Suber, 2013).

  • Asymptotic Cost in Document Conversion, Procs
    D. Blostein, G. Nagy, Asymptotic cost in document conversion, Procs. SPIE/EIT/DRR, San Francisco, Jan. 2012. Asymptotic cost in document conversion Dorothea Blostein*a, George Nagy†b aSchool of Computing, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada bDocLab, Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering, RPI, Troy, New York ABSTRACT In spite of a hundredfold decrease in the cost of relevant technologies, the role of document image processing systems is gradually declining due to the transition to an on-line world. Nevertheless, in some high-volume applications, document image processing software still saves millions of dollars by accelerating workflow, and similarly large savings could be realized by more effective automation of the multitude of low-volume personal document conversions. While potential cost savings, based on estimates of costs and values, are a driving force for new developments, quantifying such savings is difficult. The most important trend is that the cost of computing resources for DIA is becoming insignificant compared to the associated labor costs. An econometric treatment of document processing complements traditional performance evaluation, which focuses on assessing the correctness of the results produced by document conversion software. Researchers should look beyond the error rate for advancing both production and personal document conversion. Keywords: document processing cost, document recognition, document transformation, performance evaluation, productivity 1. INTRODUCTION The economics of document image processing have undergone a sea change since the first Document Recognition and Retrieval Conference in 1994. However, there is little evidence that this change is reflected in published research on document processing software. Here we address cost and value issues in document conversion, a narrow domain within document processing that is centered on the conversion of hardcopy to computer-readable media, and vice-versa.

ABSTRACT This chapter reviews the history and theory of information commons along with the various conceptual approaches used to describe and understand them. It also discusses governance, financing, and participation in these commons. Today’s digital technologies offer unprecedented possibilities for human creativity, global communication, innovation, and access to information. Yet these same technologies also provide new opportunities to control—or enclose—intellectual products, thereby threatening to erode political Information Commons 2 discourse, scientific inquiry, free speech, and the creativity needed for a healthy democracy. Advocates for an open information society face an uphill battle to influence outcomes in the policy arena; yet they are developing information commons that advance innovation, stimulate creativity, and promote the sharing of information resources. Designers of these new information resources can learn from those who have studied other commons like forests and fisheries.

    New resource discovery mechanisms Jenny Walker The E-Resources Management Handbook New resource discovery mechanisms JENNY WALKER Executive Vice President Marketing, Xrefer The E-Resources Management Handbook – UKSG E-access opens up great opportunities for people to find – and get access to – an increasing corpus of knowledge. Search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo! are now targeting the traditional library user; and libraries are under increasing pressure to develop and offer new paradigms for discovery that meet the changing expectations of end-users.The library needs to be where the users are, and to deliver quality services to the users where and when they need them – on the network and within their preferred work or study environ- ment.This chapter looks at some of the tools and technologies currently being deployed in libraries and briefly reviews some of the new paradigms for resource discovery. Introduction Nothing but Google? Previous chapters of UKSG’s The E-Resources Management Handbook have presented a good case for e-publishing and a clear indication that the number of e-resources grows apace. For many people, e-access opens up great opportunities with an increasingly significant corpus of information available at their fingertips through search engines such as Google1, MSN2 and Yahoo!3 and through sites such as Amazon4 and Wikipedia5. Although most students today would cite Google as their premier source of research6, to date, Google – and other such search engines – is unlikely to fully satisfy the researcher who seeks credible and unbiased scholarly content, which is not always available free of charge.

  • The Race to Create a Digital Library: Google Books Vs. the Open Content Alliance Klara Maidenberg, FIS2309, Design of Electronic Text
    The Race to Create a Digital Library: Google Books vs. the Open Content Alliance Klara Maidenberg, FIS2309, Design of Electronic Text Abstract In recent years, a number of organizations have begun the task of digitizing great numbers of books and making them accessible via the Internet. The two largest and best publicized initiatives are the Google Books and Open Content Alliance (OCA) projects. While they both aim to make large numbers of books accessible to users online, the two initiatives have several important differences, such as the motives of the parties involved, the transparency of the digitization process, and the way in which copyright issues are handled. This paper provides readers with an overview of the history and current issues surrounding these two consortia projects, and proposes some potential implications that they might have on libraries and their users.

Academic Libraries as Digital Gateways: Linking Students to the Burgeoning Wealth of Open Online Collections Jane Hutton Electronic Resources/Reference Librarian West Chester University of Pennsylvania Abstract Digital collections of full text e-books are proliferating on the Web and provide a wealth of open content for students. To examine whether academic libraries are providing a digital gateway to these resources, ten e-book titles from open digital collections were searched in the online catalogs and Web pages of ten academic libraries serving distance learners. Only three of the digital collection e-books were available from any of the library catalogs and none were found on library Web pages. Availability of the ten e-book titles through Google and other digital discovery tools also had mixed results.
