Hathitrust Preferred Internet Archive Book Package Overview
HathiTrust Preferred Internet Archive Book Package Overview & Background As a by-product of the Internet Archive scanning process, a variety of different files and formats are available to everyone, everywhere. This differs from the Google output, which offers no file-level variations or options. However, this also means that files chosen for ingest into the HathiTrust repository must be carefully selected, with an eye towards both near-term and long-term utility. The process of selecting files that is described below attempted to balance the following important criteria: a baseline, cross-partner standard; functional consistency with the Google work products; a desire to keep the highest quality master images; a disinclination to discard useful information; and an attempt to minimize overall package size to reduce storage costs. Ingest into the HathiTrust repository will require pre-processing of the original file set described below in order to normalize files to an expected format. This normalization will allow HathiTrust processes to accommodate content from all partners. This process is currently in development and a link to the documentation of the process will be included here, once it is finalized. File Selection Criteria In the following section, the files selected for ingest into the HathiTrust repository are identified, along with a justification for why they were selected. Also listed are files that are available from the Internet Archive, but have not been selected. A description of each file can be found in the All Available Files & Characteristics section below. All files below are named using the Internet Archive identifier, preceding the underscore (ex. -

Worldcat Data Licensing
WorldCat Data Licensing 1. Why is OCLC recommending an open data license for its members? Many libraries are now examining ways that they can make their bibliographic records available for free on the Internet so that they can be reused and more fully integrated into the broader Web environment. Libraries may want to release catalog data as linked data, as MARC21 or as MARCXML. For an OCLC® member institution, these records may often contain data derived from WorldCat®. Coupled with a reference to the community norms articulated in WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative, the Open Data Commons Attribution (ODC-BY) license provides a good way to share records that is consistent with the cooperative nature of OCLC cataloging. Best practices in the Web environment include making data available along with a license that clearly sets out the terms under which the data is being made available. Without such a license, users can never be sure of their rights to use the data, which can impede innovation. The VIAF project and the addition of Schema.org linked data to WorldCat.org records were both made available under the ODC-BY license. After much research and discussion, it was clear that ODC-BY was the best choice of license for many OCLC data services. The recommendation for members to also adopt this clear and consistent approach to the open licensing of shared data, derived from WorldCat, flowed from this experience. An OCLC staff group, aided by an external open-data licensing expert, conducted a structured investigation of available licensing alternatives to provide OCLC member institutions with guidance. -

Scientometrics1
Scientometrics1 Loet Leydesdorff a and Staša Milojević b a Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR), University of Amsterdam, Kloveniersburgwal 48, 1012 CX Amsterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] b School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University, Bloomington 47405-1901, United States; [email protected]. Abstract The paper provides an overview of the field of scientometrics, that is: the study of science, technology, and innovation from a quantitative perspective. We cover major historical milestones in the development of this specialism from the 1960s to today and discuss its relationship with the sociology of scientific knowledge, the library and information sciences, and science policy issues such as indicator development. The disciplinary organization of scientometrics is analyzed both conceptually and empirically. A state-of-the-art review of five major research threads is provided.

Mate Choice from Avicenna's Perspective
Journal of Law, Policy and Globalization www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3240 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3259 (Online) Vol.26, 2014 Mate choice from Avicenna’s perspective 1 2 3 Masoud Raei , Maryam sadat fatemi Hassanabadi * , Hossein Mansoori 1. Assistant Professor Faculty of law and Elahiyat and Maaref Eslami, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad, Isfahan, Iran. 2. MA Student. Fundamentals jurisprudence Islamic Law. , Islamic Azad Khorasgan University, Isfahan, Iran. 3. MA in History and Philosophy of Education, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran. * E-mail of the corresponding author: hosintaghi@ gmail.com Abstract The aim of the present research was examining mate choice from Avicenna’s perspective. Being done through application of qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytic method as well, this study attempted to analyze and examine Avicenna’s perspective on effects of mate choice and on criteria for selecting an appropriate spouse and its necessities as well as the hurts discussed in this regard. The research results showed that Avicenna has encouraged all people in marriage, since it brings to them economic and social outcomes, peace and sexual satisfaction as well. Avicenna stated some criteria for appropriate mate choice, and in addition to its necessities, he advised us to follow such principles as the obvious marriage occurrence, its stability, wife’s not being common and a suitable age range for marriage. Moreover, he has examined issues and hurts related to mate choice referring to such cases as nature incongruity, marital infidelity, the state of not having any babies and ethical conflict which may happen in mate choice and marriage, suggesting some solutions to such problems. -
The Envisioning a World Beyond Apcs/Bpcs International Symposium Was Held at the University of Kansas on November 17 & 18, 2016
The Envisioning a World Beyond APCs/BPCs international symposium was held at the University of Kansas on November 17 & 18, 2016. More information, including recordings of the opening session and participant biographies is available at https://openaccess.ku.edu/symposium. Apollo 13 Assignment: As a culminating component of the Envisioning a World Beyond APCs/BPCs international symposium, on the morning of Friday, Nov. 18, participants were asked to form teams and then develop a proposal for a publishing regime that will: ● present a solution that is free for readers and for authors; ● work in the local context and create partnerships that incorporate a variety of global situations, including those individuals and groups marginalized by historical, political, and economic power structures; ● address barriers to or opportunities for authors (i.e., the focus should be on the creators of the work, rather thans on the producers or user); ● present an agenda for action; ● envision a 5- to 10-year transition that includes universities as the major stakeholder in a knowledge production and sharing environment that will benefit all readers and authors. The following are three proposals that came out of the Friday morning session (which were further developed in the weeks immediately following the symposium). Proposal 1: Title Global Knowledge Commons 2025 Team Members Kathleen Shearer, Ivy Anderson, Jean Claude Guédon, Heather Joseph, Rebecca Kennison, David Shulenburger Vision Academic institutions and research organizations are the foundation of a global knowledge commons in which institutions collect the content created by their 1 communities, make it openly available, and connect globally through the adoption of common standards. -
