Item Describiendo Objetos de Información Digital en la Diáspora(2014-02-24) Washington, MadelynEl ambiente actual de información global ha aumentado la competencia en lugares como bibliotecas, donde tradicionalmente han acudido para tener acceso a información. Como resultado de esta competencia, es esencial que los administradores de grandes colecciones de información como conservadores, bibliotecarios/as y archivistas faciliten la búsqueda y el encuentro de información. Las Bibliotecas que buscan tener mas relevancia para los usuarios conocedores del Web han encontrado que la forma mas común para dar un sentido especifico entre las paginas Web es usando el Resource Description Framework(RDF) {Marco de Descripción de Recursos(MDR)},una parte importante en la publicación de Linked Data (Datos Enlazados) en la Semántica Web. Linked Data se construye directamente sobre la arquitectura del Internet y aplica un enfoque democrático y descentralizado a la tarea de compartir datos a nivel global. Este documento ofrece una introducción a Linked Data (Data Enlazados) y se presenta como el proyecto Variaciones / FRBR en la Universidad de Indiana utilizó el Resource Description Framework (Marco de Descripción de Recursos(MDR)) para mejorar los servicios de localización basados en la web para los estudiantes de música de la Jacobs School of Music de Indiana University.Item Describing Diasporan Digital Information Objects(http://afrolatinoproject.org/2013/04/26/describing-diasporan-digital-information-objects/ http://afrolatinoproject.org/2013/04/26/describiendo-objetos-de-informacion-digital-en-la-diaspora/, 2013-04) Washington, MadelynThe current global information environment has increased competition in places, such as libraries, where people have traditionally turned to for access to information. As a result of this competition, it is crucial for managers of large bodies of information—curators, librarians and archivists–to make the “search and find” process seamless. Libraries aiming to appeal to web-savvy users have found that a common way to specify meaning among webpages is by utilizing the Resource Description Framework (RDF), an essential part of publishing Linked Data in the Semantic Web. Linked Data builds directly on the architecture of the internet and applies a democratic, decentralized approach to the task of sharing data on a global scale. This paper provides an introduction to Linked Data and presents how the Variations/FRBR project at Indiana University utilized the Resource Description Framework to enhance web-based discovery services for music students at the Jacobs School of Music.Item The Indiana Librarian Leadership Academy: Perspectives of Four Academic Librarians(Indiana Library Federation, 2015-11-28) Bishop, Chanitra; Kwong, Vinnci; Reel, Brad; Washington, MadelynThe Indiana Library Leadership Academy (InLLA) was established in 2012 by the Professional Development Committee of the Indiana State Library (ISL). Modeled after the American Library Association (ALA) Emerging Leaders program, the InLLA brings together librarians accepted into the program from public, school, academic, and special libraries throughout Indiana. A new cohort of librarians is invited each year to a week-long workshop in July, where participants are divided into teams to work on a year-long capstone project and facilitate InLLA group meetings via webinar. This paper chronicles experiences of four academic librarians from the 2013 cohort of the InLLA. It will highlight four different capstone projects for which each of the academic librarians contributed, respectively, with their fellow group members. This paper will identify the greatest challenges each respective group faced during their year-long collaboration, as well as the learning experiences of each author’s participation in InLLA.
