Mellon Foundation 140 East 62nd Street New York, NY 10065 Re: Proposal Digital Collections: from Projects to Pedagogy and Scholarship from The Five Colleges of Ohio to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Dear Gene, Over the past three years, The Five Colleges of Ohio has been immersed in the Next Steps in the Next Generation Library grant. With the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, librarians, faculty, and students have produced 46 digitization projects. Based on our successful experience, we have developed a new grant proposal that strengthens and extends our digital initiatives and collaborations. The grant, Digital Collections: from Projects to Pedagogy and Scholarship, is composed of five key initiatives: • Continued development of curriculum-driven digital collections in partnership with students and faculty while expanding the scope of the projects whenever possible to include digital scholarship practices; • Hiring of a digital scholar who will leverage our new collections development, support digital scholarship efforts, and engage our campus communities in related considerations of pedagogy, along with funding to outsource open-source programming and purchase software/hardware related to digital scholarship projects; • Additional efforts to capture and provide open access to student and faculty scholarship; • Continued professional staff development and collaboration within and across the Ohio Five library organizations to best support the needs of faculty researchers; and • The creation of new collaborations with similar institutions, particularly those focused upon the digital humanities, and broad dissemination of the products and processes developed under the grant.

Academic libraries have a long tradition of sharing collections and other resources with each other to extend the services they provide to their own communities, and of using technologies of various kinds to facilitate that sharing. This reflects a longer tradition – dating back to the 17th century and the first scholarly journals – of free reciprocal sharing of the results of scholarship and scientific research, a practice that is assuming new forms in the digital age. From Interlibrary Loan to OCLC WorldCat to interlinked digital repositories and Google Scholar, library collections across the globe have become more tightly integrated, increasingly resembling a single distributed collection.

  • Web Content Strategy in Practice Within Academic Libraries Courtney Mcdonald and Heidi Burkhardt
    ARTICLE Web Content Strategy in Practice within Academic Libraries Courtney McDonald and Heidi Burkhardt ABSTRACT Web content strategy is a relatively new area of practice in industry, in higher education, and, correspondingly, within academic and research libraries. The authors conducted a web-based survey of academic and research library professionals in order to identify present trends in this area of professional practice by academic librarians and to establish an understanding of the degree of institutional engagement in web content strategy within academic and research libraries. This article presents the findings of that survey. Based on analysis of the results, we propose a web content strategy maturity model specific to academic libraries. INTRODUCTION Our previous article traced the history of library adoption of web content management systems (CMS), the evolution of those systems and their use in day-to-day library operations, and the corresponding challenges as libraries have attempted to manage increasingly prolific content creation workflows across multiple, divergent CMS platforms.1 These challenges include inconsistencies in voice and a lack of sufficient or dedicated resources for library website management, resulting in the absence of shared strategic vision and organizational unity regarding the purpose and function of the library website. We concluded that a productive solution to these challenges lay in the inherently user-centered practice of web content strategy, defined as “an emerging discipline that brings together concepts from user experience design, information architecture, marketing, and technical writing.”2 We further noted that organizational support for web content management and governance strategies for library-authored web content had been rarely addressed in the library literature, despite the growing importance of this area of expertise to the successful provision of support and services: “Libraries must proactively embrace and employ best practices in content strategy .

The CLS is also like an ant hill--an ant hill that Bill stirred up ten years ago. He called together in Chicago a group of college librarians from across the country and then unceremoniously put a foot right in the middle of what had become a lethargic ant hill. Bill challenged us with the question, "Should the College Libraries Section be abolished?" This act stimulated a flurry of activities among the section that remains unabated a decade later. Thanks Bill. We needed you and we miss you. Bill, not to worry about a diminishing of the activities you initiated.
