  • 1 Digital Convergence and the Information
    Digital Convergence and the Information Profession in Cultural Heritage Organizations: Reconciling Internal and External Demands Paul F. Marty* School of Library and Information Studies, College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2100 Abstract. Nearly twenty years ago, W. Boyd Rayward became one of the first academics to examine the past, present, and future of how “electronic information and the functional integration of libraries, archives, and museums” would affect the information profession, laying the groundwork for an entire research agenda on the topic of “digital convergence,” where the increased use of and reliance on digital resources in libraries, archives, and museums has increasingly blurred the traditional distinctions between these institutions. This paper explores how Rayward’s early work in this area influenced the development of this topic over time, focusing on how information professionals in cultural heritage organizations can and should reconcile their internal perceptions of identity with the external expectations of their users, particularly those who do not or cannot clearly distinguish between different institutions or the information resources they manage. In a world where the traditional assumptions we take for granted about information organization and access in libraries, archives, and museums are simply not shared by our users, the future of the information profession depends on the ability of cultural heritage information professionals to transcend the traditional

One stated aim of the scheme is to #BuildBridgesNotWalls – an idea which remains pertinent given the continued prominence of divisive politics, even despite the Berlin Wall having been torn down some thirty years ago now. This issue features three examples of international librarians converging in Europe.

  • A Comparison of Descriptive Tagging Practices by Library, Archive, and Museum Professionals Using an Inter-Indexing Consistency Approach
    1 Christine Angel – St. John’s University A Comparison of Descriptive Tagging Practices by Library, Archive, and Museum Professionals using an Inter-Indexing Consistency Approach Abstract This study is a comparison of the descriptive tagging practices among library, archive, and museum professionals using an inter-indexing consistency approach. The first purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the similarities and differences among professional groups when assigning descriptive tags to different object types typically found within the library, archive and museum environments. The second purpose of this study was to compare the descriptive practices of these three professional groups to different object types typically found within the library, archive and museum environments. Findings from this study indicate while there were few differences in depth of indexing per object type among professional groups, various levels of description were applied to the different object types. Levels of description were derived from: (1) the three dimensional or physical media pictured; (2) the digital surrogate; (3) the objects aboutness; (4) the technique and materials used to make the physical object, and; (5) written text. Data analysis also indicates there was a significant difference between means in the total number of exact matched primary tags applied per object type. As such, information retrieval within the online environment could be improved if there was better quality control in the application of the different levels of description among information professionals. Introduction Collaboration among library, archive, and museum professionals is uncommon especially in the online environment. One reason for this is because information professionals have “…often emphasized their distinctions from one another, largely on the basis of the physical format of the information they held” (O’Toole and Cox 2006, xi-xii).
