Understanding Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives [and Museums] Hitchens, Alison This session provides an overview of linked data and then explains how it can be used in libraries and archives to share our unique data on the web and to enrich the user experience by using linked data ourselves. This session is a minor revision of the one offered at the OLITA Digital Odyssey 2014.

(2016, January 28). Investigating BIBFRAME. Session presented at OLA Superconference, Toronto, On. Abstract: BIBFRAME is the New Bibliographic Framework Initiative created by the Library of Congress to investigate and define the future of bibliographic description on the web. It is meant to be a replacement for MARC and to provide a model for describing and connecting bibliographic data. This session will introduce you to BIBFRAME and discuss some of the experimentation going on in libraries. It will also reflect on the training provided by Zepheira as part of its Libhub Initiative from public library and academic library perspectives.

In 2015, a new campus position was created, Bibliometrics and Research Impact Librarian, and the white paper “Measuring Research Outputs through Bibliometrics” was released. This specialist librarian also supports the Ranking Working Group and the Research Impact Working Group and is responsible for bibliometrics education across campus for our students and faculty. This Librarian has also been working to create a North American community of practice for bibliometrics work. This project briefing will highlight this campus partnership, lessons learned so far, and questions for future directions and infrastructure requirements for support. Additionally, we will explore possible connections between bibliometrics work, citation analysis and evidence-based collection development practices for a research-intensive University.

While understandable from a researcher standpoint, fulfilling the request is a challenge. Unlike library holdings, archival material is rarely described to the item-level. This makes it difficult for archivists to do more than point researchers to where everything about a particular topic could be. The result is a persistent disconnect between researcher expectations and archival practice. This instructional resource explores that disconnect by exploring why it isn’t possible to ever obtain everything about X held in an archives or, more importantly, to bypass the sometimes daunting and unglamourous work of archival research.
