    07/15/2011 Briefing Paper on Progress and Opportunities for HathiTrust Ithaka S+R for the HathiTrust Strategic Advisory Board 15 July 2011 Executive Summary The Strategic Advisory Board for HathiTrust, a library-based initiative to provide preservation and access for library content digitized by Google and other parties, is preparing for a Constitutional Convention in October 2011. At the Convention, representatives from the libraries that participate in HathiTrust will gather to discuss the future direction of the initiative. To help frame the agenda for the Convention, Ithaka S+R has conducted research on the attitudes and needs of existing HathiTrust partner libraries and libraries that do not yet participate, to help the Board frame the most important issues for the October meeting. Drawing on a survey of HathiTrust participating libraries, interviews with HathiTrust participating libraries and libraries that do not yet participate in HathiTrust, and other research, we see the following as important next steps and Convention discussion items for HathiTrust: • Clearly defining objectives for the next 3-5 years, possibly mapping out the rationale for those objectives in the context of a revised mission statement, and enhancing the pipeline of information about HathiTrust’s strategic priorities to partner libraries. Respondents to a survey of HathiTrust partner libraries and follow-up interviewees spoke in particular about the need for clear communication from the HathiTrust staff and leadership, noting in several cases that they have not always felt well apprised of contemplated new initiatives. To the extent that HathiTrust is able to provide a more constant flow of information about proposed initiatives, that would seem to be valued by partner libraries.

You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net Title: Things To Make Author: Archibald Williams Release Date: January 11, 2005 [EBook #14664] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THINGS TO MAKE *** Produced by Don Kostuch Transcriber's Note: If the pdf version of the book is viewed using facing pages with even numbered pages on the left, you will see a close approximation of the original book. Notations of the form "(1,650) 2" appear at the bottom of some pages; they are probably printer's references for assembling to book. The text only version is of limited use because of the many figures used. I recommend the pdf or rtf versions. Some of the projects should be approached with care since they involve corrosive or explosive chemicals, electricity and steam boilers. Do not use lead solder, particularly on cooking utensils. Whether you simply want to travel back into the mind of a young boy at the beginning of the twentieth century, or want to try your hand at some interesting projects in carpentry, machinery, kites and many other areas, have fun. The following four pages have definitions of unusual (to me) terms used frequently in the text. Terms Batten - Narrow strip of wood.

  • E-Books in Academic Libraries: Results of a Survey Carried out in Sweden and Lithuania
    PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF BORÅS, SWEDEN VOL. 22 NO. 3, SEPTEMBER, 2017 Contents | Author index | Subject index | Search | Home E-books in academic libraries: results of a survey carried out in Sweden and Lithuania Elena Maceviciute, T.D. Wilson, Arūnas Gudinavičius, and Andrius Šuminas Introduction. This paper reports on a study of e-books issues in academic libraries in two European countries representative of small language markets – Sweden and Lithuania. Method. Questionnaire surveys, using the same instrument, were carried out in Swedish and Lithuanian academic libraries. Analysis. Quantitative analysis was performed using the descriptive statistics capability of SurveyMonkey. Results. The survey’s results reveal some interesting similarities and differences in the two countries. Business models for e-book acquisition in both countries show similarities - the most popular additional model is purchase for perpetual ownership. One significant difference is that some of the Lithuanian academic librarians appear to have less direct knowledge of e-book acquisition, relying upon the Lithuanian Research Library Consortium to effect licence agreements with publishers and aggregators. Another significant difference is that academic libraries in Lithuania have a higher degree of access to e-books in the national language than is the case in Sweden. Conclusion. The findings show that the factors driving adoption of e-books, is composed of somewhat different elements in the two countries. Swedish librarians regard the need to keep up with technology and access and availability as the two main forces driving adoption of e-books in academic libraries. Lithuanian librarians see economics as the main factor, together with technology and demand from students.
