Item Linking to Electronic Library Resources from Learning Management Systems Using an OpenURL Resolver(2003-11-10T17:24:35Z) Lewis, David W.Lewis presents case for using an OpenURL link resolver with learning management systems to create persistent URLs.Item The Archivist’s New Clothes; or, the Naked Truth about Evidence, Transactions, and Recordness(2004-02-04T15:17:25Z) Bruemmer, Bruce; Boles, Frank; Greene, Mark A. (Mark Allen), 1958-; Daniels-Howell, Todd Jesse, 1956-The electronic records projects at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) have been promoted as competing visions of the archival future. This article, the work of several authors with experience as both manuscript curators and institutional archivists, challenges the perception that the UBC and Pitt models are fundamentally different from one another, and argues that they share a similar and deeply flawed conception of the meaning of archives and the mission of the archival profession. Rather than accept the premises upon which both UBC and Pitt build their models, archivists should re-assert the broader and more practical theory of archives that has dominated much of U.S. archival history.Item IDEA: Sharing Scholarly Digital Resources(2004-02) Staum, Sonja; Halverson, Randall S.PowerPoint presentation given 2/27/04 on scholarly digital respositories under development at IUPUI.Item Shad's Job Hunter's Checklist(Library Journal, 1986-09-01) Frackental, Shad; Lewis, David W.; Bevilacqua, Ann F.Author evaluates how job seekers should assess the instituitons to which they have applied for positions.Item Six Reasons Why the Price of Scholarly Information Will Fall in Cyberspace(1997) Lewis, David W.The paper proposes six reasons why the cost of scholarly communication will fall as the internet become the primary distribution channel.Item The Things We Will Learn from LibQUAL+™(2002) Lewis, David W.Reviews what the author believes will be the results of the use of LibQUAL+™. Only in part is the article tongue in cheek.Item A Demand-Side View of the Future of Library Collections(2004) Lewis, David W.For some time it has been clear that the role of libraries will change in light of developments in networked information. The discussion to date has largely been based on supply-side concerns: the increasing cost of journals and the need to develop alternatives through open access mechanisms such as institutional repositories. This presentation will present a model of the future demand for library materials over the next several decades. The model indicates, not surprisingly, that the type of materials users can be expected to use will change dramatically. The unexpected result is that libraries that are prepared to develop collections that follow the lead of their users can do so with budgetary increases that are quite reasonable. The model suggests that increases in the range of 1% to 3% per year are possible even if the costs of a digital library and repository programs are included. The changes in collection strategies suggested by this model are similar to those imagined by those who have taken a supply-side view. The important insight added by this work is that the transition in collecting practices can be managed without exceptional budget increase and without undue negative impact on library users. Hopefully this presentation of the model will result in a discussion of the future of library collections and the best paths to reach this future.Item The Innovator's Dilemma: Disruptive Change and Academic Libraries(Library Administration & Management, 2004) Lewis, David W.Using the concepts in Clayton Christensen's book The Innovator's Dilemma, the current situation of academic librries is reviewed. It is argued that academic libraries are the types of institutions that Christensen predicts will fail as they confront the distruptive change that they are facing.Item Eight Truths for Middle Managers in Lean Times(Library Journal, 1991-09-01) Lewis, David W.The article considers how a middle manager should confront difficult economic times.Item The Unlimited Potential of the Electronic Library (Except Where Prohibited by the Copyright Law)(ERIC, 1996-02-27) Lewis, David W.; Schmidt, Steven J.This paper describes the creation of a new library facility for Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, one designed ready to accommodate an infrastructure that would support the new technologies of the electronic information environment. Wiring and fiber-optic schemes are outlined briefly. The document is formatted as a script for the two presenters, complete with stage directions and humorous interjections. Lewis extols increased levels of information access and emerging library innovations like networked CD-ROMs, an electronic reserves system on the World Wide Web, digitized imagery and video, and multimedia delivery systems. Schmidt plays devil's advocate by interrupting to remind Lewis of limits imposed by licensing restrictions, copyright law, "fair use" doctrine, and even relevant court cases. Lewis's annoyance mounts until he finally "shoots" Schmidt with an imaginary gun. The presenters close with an overview of licensing and intellectual property issues.
