What's the Big IDeA: Institutional Digital Repositories @ Your Library
(2005-05-13T14:48:43Z) Dill, Emily; Petsche, Kevin F.; Palmer, Kristi L.
Presenters will show one example of how to start and maintain a digital institutional repository. Though some philosophical debate regarding scholarly communication, copyright, and preservation issues will take place, the focus will be on dissecting IUPUI’s experience in implementing the open-source D-Space software and how the ideas put forth might be incorporated at librarians’ home campuses. The presenters will take participants through the process of implementing a digital institutional repository in a chronological fashion, beginning with assessing campus needs for such a collection. Participants will discuss benefits and challenges that might be associated with implementing a repository at this point. Presenters will then describe the database and workflow structure to participants, allowing time for participants to reflect on how an institutional repository might look at their campus. Finally, participants will learn about the presenters’ attempts to promote the service to faculty and discuss how they might get the word out on their campuses.
What's the Big IDeA?: Considerations for Implementing an Institutional Repository
(Emerald Publications, 2005-07) Dill, Emily; Palmer, Kristi L.
Continually increasing journal costs have pushed libraries and research institutions to consider alternative forms of scholarly publication. One such form is that of the institutional digital repository (IR). As an early implementer of DSpace, an open-source institutional digital repository software product, IUPUI offers those just beginning to think about IRs an overview of issues such as: choosing a repository platform, staffing and technology needs, metadata and controlled vocabulary concerns, promotion, and time challenges. While the article outlines the process IUPUI followed to create its own IR, the piece is universalized to address the concerns of any new IR implementer.
Preaching to the Choir?: How Academic Librarians Really Feel About Open Access
(Electronic Resources & Libraries 2nd Annual Conference (Atlanta, Ga.), 2007-02) Palmer, Kristi L.; Dill, Emily
This presentation will report on the results of a national survey of academic librarians opinions about open access. The authors will discuss what the findings tell us about librarians acceptance of the open access movement and how these attitudes might shape the future of scholarly communication initiatives in libraries.

Do Clickers Improve Library Instruction? Lock in your Answers Now.
(Elsevier, 2008-10-09T17:08:01Z) Dill, Emily
This study assesses the effect of clickers on retention of library instruction material. A comparison of quiz results of students who utilized clickers during instruction versus students who did not showed no gain in retention. Libraries are encouraged to consider pedagogical implications before applying novel technologies to instruction programs.
Where There's a Will, There's a Way?: Survey of Academic Librarian Attitudes about Open Access
(2008-11-17T16:06:48Z) Palmer, Kristi L.; Dill, Emily; Christie, Charlene
Academic libraries are becoming increasingly involved in scholarly communication through work with institutional repositories and other open access models. While academic librarians are being encouraged to promote these new models, their opinions about open access have not been documented. This article reports on the results of a national survey conducted in the summer of 2006 of academic librarians’ attitudes toward open access principles and related behaviors. While attitude responses were largely positive, there were differences in levels of support related to respondents’ job descriptions and funding of open access activities. Surveyed librarians appear to be more comfortable with tasks that translate traditionally held responsibilities, such as educating others, to the open access environment. Most significant is the discrepancy between stated support of library involvement in open access initiatives and significantly lacking action toward this end. The results offer insight into how open access proponents may better focus their advocacy efforts. IS PREPRINT OF: Palmer, Kristi L., Emily Dill, and Charlene Christie.

“New shit has come to light”: Information seeking behavior in The Big Lebowski
(2010-02-26T18:13:36Z) Janke, Karen L.; Dill, Emily
The authors of this paper use characters from the 1998 film The Big Lebowski to illustrate the intricate, self-defined nature of information seeking behavior and the ways in which personal characteristics contribute to the success or failure of an information search.
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, Madelyn
The 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.
Describiendo Objetos de Información Digital en la Diáspora
(2014-02-24) Washington, Madelyn
El 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.
