Digital Libraries - Science topic

yes

Digital library pedagogy refers to the integration of digital resources and technologies into teaching and learning practices. It impacts student learning by providing access to diverse and interactive learning materials, promoting self-directed learning, fostering collaboration among students and educators, and enhancing critical thinking and information literacy skills.

Natural language processing has been minimally practiced in electoral data in central and eastern Europe. Academic research on social democratic parties in the region relies mostly on human-based content analysis and expert reviews; ideology and programs are usually only analyzed as part of a broader context and often using case studies or qualitative comparisons. Curry, Urban 2003; White, Lewis, Batt 2013; Bozóki, Ishiyama 2002; Hlouek, Kopeek 2016; Koubek, Poláek 2017; Kraovec, Cabada 2018 2018 It needs to draw on a general set of assumptions from the broader literature.

(A little late, but hope this helps) If you export the citations in BibTeX from the ACM DL results and convert them (I used an online BibTeX to CSV converter), you can open them in excel with the abstracts.

Dear Andrey Davydenko

Agreed with Dr. Wolfgang R. Dick Precisely, ResearchGate and Academia.edu are commercial sites, whereas most open access repositories are non-profits. These academic social networking sites have each raised large amounts of initial funding: $17.8 million for Academia.edu, and $35 million for ResearchGate.

Nevertheless, there are two main routes to open access are: Self-archiving / 'green' open access – the author, or a representative, archives (deposits) the published article or the final peer-reviewed manuscript in an online repository before, at the same time as, or after publication.

Best Regards

If you are wondering where to find a public, shareable url to your ResearchGate, kindly follow these steps

1. Log in to your ResearchGate page

2. Tap on your photo to see a drop down menu, then tap on settings

3. At settings, scroll down to find the last section and find the paragraph that mentions 'privacy settings', then tap it

4. Once at privacy setting, scroll down to find your public url in a text box. Usually, it contains your names and a number.

If this link is too long, you can shorten by using bit.ly.

This way, you can add your link to your social media platforms and your CV.

I am using two systems with Mendeley installed and synched in each of them with the same ID. A part of the document is already written with citations inserted in line. Now when I am about to complete the same document in the other system, the citation numbering is starting from number [1] again. Has anyone faced this type of problem?

Congrats sir......You are author......... Talha Burak Alakuş i hope you already got author copy.....

In addition to this particular ISO standard: most are available at the ISO.org webshop. Or, alternatively, through a national member body you can become a member and participate in standards creation and maintenance and that gives you access too.

Since Scopus to ORCID is possible and ORCID to Scopus is not possible, the only way to do that is by using manual addition for those that are not seen automatically.

Thanks a lot for your answers guys. Generating peptide structures for virtual screening is sometimes tricky and often a long task. I've developed a modeller-based automatic peptide structure generator for a pilot VS study and, although it was a mixed bash python script, it worked quite good by producing good structures and employed the capability of modeller to build structures with modified aminoacids. However, since it runs on our machines, it suffers of hardware (disk space and cpu) limitation and for this reason, according to my opinion, it would be more desirable an external database by which it could be possible to download all the peptide structures you need. Have you guys ever worked on virtual screening of very small peptides or cyclopeptides?

Can I have more data on the Ukrainian project? I have a project for a traveling library in Algeria:

Yes like what Philippe Fournier Viger said begin with Google scholar and semantic scholar. This will help you find seminal papers on AI/ML topics. But then if you want to narrow down on a specific research area, you should look out for journals on those topics from publishers like Springer, Elsevier, IEEE, ACM etc., For example, if your topic is genetic algorithm, then you can look into IEEE transactions on Evolutionary computation, Soft computing - Springer and more...

Expert researchers limit the outlets they search for articles as they know there is a trade off between the number of articles and the time spending on searching different sources.

Hi,

It seems that these three terms are connected and have a role in each other's domain. The following paper could help:

The role of boundary organizations in co-management: examining the politics of knowledgeintegration in a marine protected area in Belize

By: Gray, Noella J.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE COMMONS   Volume: 10   Issue: 2   Pages: 1013-1034   Published: 2016

  

  Close AbstractMarine protected areas (MPAs) are an increasingly popular tool for management of the marine commons. Effective governance is essential if MPAs are to achieve their objectives, yet many MPAs face conflicts and governance challenges, including lack of trust and knowledge integration between fishers, scientists, and policy makers. This paper considers the role of a boundary organization in facilitating knowledge integration in a co-managed MPA, the Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve in Belize. Boundary organizations can play an important role in resource management, by bridging the science-policy divide, facilitating knowledge integration, and enabling communication in conditions of uncertainty. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Belize, the paper identifies four challenges for knowledge integration. First, actors have divergent perspectives on whether and how knowledge is being integrated. Second, actors disagree on resource conditions within the MPA and how these should be understood. Third, in order to maintain accountability with multiple actors, including fishers, government, and funders, the boundary organization has promoted the importance of different types of knowledge for different purposes (science and fishers' knowledge), rather than the integration of these. Finally, a lack of trust and uneven power relations make it difficult to separate knowledge claims from political claims. However, even if knowledge integration proves difficult, boundary organizations may still play an important role by maintaining accountability, providing space for conflicting understandings to co-exist, and ultimately for governance institutions to evolve.

Hi Manjula, the narrower your search, the better, it depends too the type of database are you using and its way of filtering the results, sadly a lot of databases lack of a good search algorithm that gives to you only the most pertinent results, say like the old times before google, remember that?

You too, Ben-Collins. All best wishes for your work.

Dear Researchers,

Thanks for your valuable comments / answers

Regards

Waqas

thanks for the answer but i was talking more on technical terms as if there was popular content there must be a some time or probability that a content could get access. if u look at the current internet speeds.

Thanks, I will share this information with my friends

Hi Rushi,

You may absolutely do so. Researchgate and Academia and other social academic websites are built for researchers (early/young or old/established) and academics to showcase their work, be it published and unpublished; or published in a reputable journal/outlet or not. And in many ways, I think if you share such work in your RG page or other web places, it stands "published" in its own sense and I feel you may even include these in your CV or resume. 

However, since this is your undergrad work and you feel the need to publish it, then I advise you do so. You only need to prepare the thesis into a publishable journal format and look for good local, regional or intl journals to submit to. You have to do an extensive reworking that entails cutting down a full thesis to a the size of a journal article. Sometimes people get even 2 or 3 papers from their thesis, but this depends.

You may not worry about getting accepted by the wellknown or more established journals for now. NO harm in starting small.

I don't know if this helps you.

Best wishes with your academic ambitions and never relent!

Hello Balbinder, Are you looking to identify a classification scheme to manage these resources ? It would be helpful to know.

Hello 

Bearing all the comments in mind, perhaps you could recast your topic ; work along the lines of "the role of information ethics on academics libraries"?

Taxonomy development for digital libraries, especially when transitioning physical libraries is a known problem by now. This issue extends to retrieval problems in that bad taxonomy may prevent discovery and use of resources across a diversity of disciplines.  Metadata and data quality issues are incredibly crucial for fostering resource usage by in and inter disciplinary researchers.

Yes libraries have a future but the image must be transformed to meet the expectations of the user.  Each entity must seek to build its own brand.  Libraries must realize that they are in the business of educating.  Libraries equate to education/research.  The traditional librarian is now the information specialists/research assistant  and the title involves more than the traditional concept of sitting at a desk and shushing the public.  One must be savvy with the use of technology, research and the gathering of information.

Thanks for your responses Shabir and Enrico. To communicate about your research is a stimulating therapy - it motivates and directs. The possibilities are endless and hereby lies a decision to be taken. Which is the most prominent material in the archives and what interests the researcher most? The Librarian/ Information Scientist/Archivist is exposed to a wide field of information - I'm lucky to be an 'Architecture'-librarian with a given subject. It takes focusing on a particular topic to narrow it down. The 'Ariadne's thread' (thanks Enrico!) even if it lead to a different 'lover' - it provided direction to the searcher. Yes, I understand :)

Among them The Koha is the best for any type of Libraries.

Forgive me, but I think that's the wrong question or, at least, the question you can only answer if you focus first on some key factors.  The factors of most importance are the content/information needed by your special library customers and the format desired by the majority of your customers.  While other issues, e.g., cost (as mentioned in the previous comment) may come into play, content comes first and format comes after surveying customers.  You might end up with all electronic in some settings and far less electronic in others.  

As mentioned, there are quite a few  open source diigtal library related softwares out there and in my experience it will be best to pair a couple of the softwares mentioned for your backend (storage, metadata) and front end (display) possibilities to create the best product infrastructure .  

We currently use Dspace for a backend repository  but are now thinking about Hydra and testing Archivematica: an open source digital preservation system: https://www.archivematica.org/en/   Another newer solution that is getting a lot of buzz currently is the Hydra project , a multi-purpose repository solution that has a lot of flexibility for user interfaces and digital asset management http://projecthydra.org/  There will be programming knowledge required in all of these but the newer softwares mentioned use newer methodologies that any programmer will be able to take up with focused effort.  Hydra is commonly used with Blacklight http://projectblacklight.org/   and Stanford is currently doing some very interesting work with Hydra.

 For front end display of items we have been having a lot of success with the open source Omeka platform  http://omeka.org/  which is also fairly intuitive and also flexible for working with various other softwares  We have been pairing this up with our Dspace backend.  

Here's a couple examples of projects that we've recently carried out in the past year using the last stated software combination pairing : http://exhibits.library.txstate.edu/thewittliffcollections/exhibits/show/santiago-tafolla-collection/rev-tafolla

And a larger archival yearbook project: http://exhibits.library.txstate.edu/univarchives/exhibits/show/pedagog

I should also note Islandora has been getting a lot of attention as a one stop solution: http://islandora.ca/  It combines the open source softwares: Fedora (backend), Drupal (Front End Content Management system) and Solr (Index) to create a best practices framework.  All of these described above are open source.

Thank You Haleema for your answer. I found some literature, more of them is listed in my other Q&A: Look for 1st link for details.

A few days ago I get information about experiment provided by my colegues from PIONIER Network Digital Libraries Federation (Poznan, Poland). Look for 2nd link for details

Thanks Mr.Grzegorz Czapnik.  One of my scholar has done his Ph.D in Library and Information Science on Information Usage Pattern of Scholars using Web Data mining.  In that he collected the data by downloading the information related to the web pages visited by the scholars from the system's Internet Usage history file and then developing a small coding to identify the web pages visited, duration, frequency etc.  This is for your information and if you need the thesis I shall ask the scholar to send the file.  

Hi,

I was in a similar situation with my data (3 times as many reads for some libraries). I used DESeq and it handled it just fine. The tool uses variance stabilizing transformation if you need normalized data. For differential expression you don't need that. Just use your data as is and see what happens. I think it is general consensus now that RPKM normalization is flawed and should not be used.

Potential Input:

1) Book details (RFID / Barcode including info on title, author, publisher, rack #, rack column & row etc),

2) Borrower details (student # etc)

3) Date & time borrow

4) Request info on a book borrowed too long by a previous borrower so that s/he can't renew next but have to return the book (so that other new borrower can borrow)

Potential Output:

1) Date & time borrower can renew the book online

2) Date & time borrower needs to physically return the book for renewal / return

3) Email (generated by the eLibrary System) to borrower to remind him / her on the book's due date for renewal / return

4) Screen flagged on list of borrowers that haven't return the books after due date

5) Penalty payment to collect from the overdue borrower

6) History list of books a borrower had borrowed

During my research study, i worked on application of concept maps and information visualization to enhance user experience over DSpace by using comparing many tools such as VUI, SpaceTree, etc. A prototype model also build on this.

There is also the 'inurl' option for Google search.

It restricts results to a substring contained in

an URL.

Using index.html as the main page is only

a habit. Sometimes it is index.aspx, index.php etc.

Regards,

Joachim

DSpace search uses an index of the content of submitted metadata for both local and federated catalogs. DSpace configuration allows full-text searching of certain document types, including PDF (if text-based or OCR-ed), MS Word, plain text, and HTML. Indexing for full-text searches is not instantaneous--the index is created periodically, usually on a daily basis, as per configuration. DSpace can also be configured to transform and extract text from certain other document types, such as Powerpoint. Some image types (i.e., JPG) can be transformed and extracted to thumbnail images for efficient searching. Potentially less common DSpace document types (e.g., compressed files, .odt, etc.) are limited to search of the corresponding metadata. 

From the user's perspective, DSpace search is effective where quality metadata has been provided for a document and for text-based documents once the full-text index is updated.

Hi David,

I miss you so much as well as those lovely days in Glasgow.

Draga Višnja nisam upoznata sa nekim od takvih programa mada predpostavljam da ih ima sigurno.

Hi all,

We are using ePrints software which is a open access software

 I certainly agree with you Caryl, Nemajovsky,  In the future, the management of cataloging services will most probably develop through a shared platform via a consortia or state systems.We already have, The Nassau Library System (Long Island NY), which serves as  a centralized consortia for all the member libraries.

Leslie Brown,, you are right in saying "... the level of readiness in academic libraries across the United States varies". This is true because a lot of issues are affected, and usually, everything revolves around the budget, patrons and staff.

Fuziah M. Nadzar, all the core courses you mentioned are also being taught in our undergraduate programs here in the US, and they do continue into the graduate level. There may be "less emphasis" in some courses at the graduate level if  the most significant part of the course has been done at the undergraduate level.What i would like to see , is a more varied/modern approach to teaching some of these courses. :)

LIBER, eIFL, DCC all have experts on the field. Pose the question on twitter to @openaire, @fosterscience, @dcc and I am sure you will get more pointers.

Do you know this book? Citation Analysis Research Evaluation by Henk Moed. He is

one of the experts on this subject and perhaps may be useful, both the book and some of the articles published primarily in journals such as Scientometrics, Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, Journal of Informetrics, etc.

Good luck!

I think the efficacy of a thin client environment is dependent on the role and software specifications you wish to place on it. The more requirements that the thin client needs to fulfill the less viable it becomes. I admit my experience is a little dated with thin clients. I have not worked with thin clients since 2011. Since then Virtual Machines (VM) and thin clients have matured by leaps and bounds (Some scenarios even have autodesk/autocad working in a thin client environment).

An example where a thin client shines is a boxed limited scenario e.g. an OPAC (open public access catalog) station, password reset station, or a place to check web e-mail. On the other hand, if you want a multi-media workstation with apps requiring local resources the end user may run into issues and the client has only a small amount of local hard drive space and memory available, ideally everything is supposed to be handled on the server but there are always outliers.

The other challenge one runs into with thin clients is there is a bit of a learning curve for any newer technician or volunteer that you may expect to be able to handle some minor administrative tasks. You will need to develop a greater amount of documentation for a thin client than a more traditional PC. On a more positive note if you expect your space allocation to grow then the thin clients will scale well.

If this an applied scenario instead of an academic query then I wish you the best of luck on your project.

Hi Tomas, talk to your Librarian [ http://www.udc.es/biblioteca/servizos ] they may be able to take you through the process in person which will help you to do better searches. Guides of course help as well. BW Matt

We have both a physical library (with a dwindling collection of hard copy resources) - and a large amount of electronic resources. We have seen a big shift in moving from primarily lending books and journals to educating clinical staff and medical students on how to use the medical databases for their research and the extensive online collection. It is a much more value added (and interesting) role for us as librarians, and more focussed on education and research collaboration. Rather than simply reflecting a building where people dropped in to borrow books, we are now approached as professionals online, by phone and face to face to help people find their way around the enormous number of resources "in the cloud". Our experience is that our professional services as librarians are needed more than ever, and that is very much reflected in our stats around database searching tutorials, collaboration in systematic reviews, Endnote tutorials, presentations and a huge variety of research consultations. I think the virtual library is actually a fantastic thing - but I can also see that clients very much value the opportunity to meet face to face for support and collaborative purposes, so we do actually need a physical space too.

Thanks!

An interesting question. It depends to some extent on how you define 'neglect of school libraries'. If by this you mean that librarians should be licenced in some way as are teachers then a campaign to achieve this is gathering strength in the UK. I suspect that the problem is a wider one relating to issues of professional status and perception of professional status. Until or unless librarianship more widely becomes a reguilated profession then I suspect it will continue to suffer 'neglect' or at the very least a lower status than other professions such as medicine.

what do others think?

In the past paper libraries used to be the all the information we usualy had, now students go over all the electronic facilities and only a few look at 'books'.

See.. the scenario is changing now, the advances in ICT including mobile technology and availability of high bandwidth is reducing need of physical place for meeting. Video Conferencing and Skype Meetings, Hangounts etc has helped to reduce time taken in transportation to visit physical place. easy availability of such tools has also increased interaction among peers. Same way it is going to affect the physical space requirement of a library. Availability of online tools surely reduces the need of visiting library physically, in contradiction it surely help wider accessibility and availability of library content on the gadgets.

They can be integrated and some Integrated Library Systems already have that capability. We use LibrarySoft and it has that capability.

what I am try to work in it is highlighting a previous predictions in the field of librarianship over the past years. From the standpoint, this will help in determining the appropriate method to predict. such as; some research in 1960s predicted that the amount of information will increase other see that library will replace by digital library.....

also I aim to Communicate with whose expatiation`s has been achieved to learn from them .

This work can not be accomplished by one person, but needs to be set by a group of people have different interests in the librarianship.

who find this work is interested and would to participate in the work add his add thier name than we will work in it as project.

According to ODLIS ("Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science") DL is:

"a library in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in machine-readable format (as opposed to print or microform), accessible by means of computers. The digital content may be locally held or accessed remotely via computer networks. In libraries, the process of digitization began with the catalog, moved to periodical indexes and abstracting services, then to periodicals and large reference works, and finally to book publishing."

I would not call the website a DL. Digital library must contain the database of resources (files), organisation system of data, internal search engine to retrieve them and software to present data or documents with set of metadata describing the document.

In "A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections" (http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/framework3.pdf) you can find some tips and remarks to evaluate if something is a digital library or not.

Dear Nilesh, I recommend you to have a look at my article, available here, in Research Gate, called Infopragmatics. It may be of highly considerable help for those who cannot get pertinet information from commercial Information Systems,

such as the ones provided by Elsevier, Ebsco, ProQuest and the like, and it consists of an uncertainty theorem, a linguistic algorithm and a linguistic storm (lingstorm). If you have any additional question or comment, I will be glad to answer. Cheers!

Matt, very, appealing, very interesting your ten points - and also the comments of Hristina.

Working since almost 15 years in the domain of digital audiovisual archives dedicated to research in social and human sciences (to-day, we would use the term "digital humanities" ...), I am highly sensitized (is this the right expression ?) to these questions. And I agree completely with on the importance of the "communication turn" for digital archive/library services.

But I also think that there are two other, highly important turns: the first which is indeed everywhere in your ten "commandments" is the "content-cgeneration-by-user" turn (therefore to offer, for instance, the user the possibility to analyse/index, annotate, enrich, ... given resources and even to produce new ones ?); the second is the "linguistic (or, as I prefer, semiotic) turn" in digital archives /libraries; this means to consider thhe semantic (semiotic) and discursive nature of digital resources in order to provide "better" appropriation bridges to interested users.

In any case, thank you for having launched this very interesting topic. Peter

Gajendra, the EuropePMC FAQs say:

"Unlike PubMed Central, Europe PMC provides a single point of access to not only full-text articles but additionally the abstracts available through PubMed."

Although I am unsure as to the mechanism of how PubMed and the database is updated and whether if PubMed is not updated, this will also affect Europe PMC searches. As far I know the database which PubMed actually searches is the MedLine database run by NIH and I suspect there is some human input required to keep this up to date.

I agree I prefer to use NCBI on most occasions due to the interface and tools available, but if the basic information is the same, then it's better than nothing if NCBI stops working

Hello Matt; Many thanks for these four really very interesting links. I already know the impressive activities of the King's College in DH; but I didn't know the three other initiatives, all of them are very, very valuable.

I like very much the very practical and pedagogical approach of JISC for explaining the work with digital video resources. This question we also deal with, here in Paris with our "Audiovisual Research Archives"project (http://www.archivesaudiovisuelles.fr/EN/).

We have started the development of a working environment for people in DH who wants to create and manage their own audiovisual archives (unfortunately, for the moment all the stuff is still in French, but however here is the link to our experimental platform which will yet be stabilised in the coming months: http://www.semiosphere.fr/).

Many thanks again for your so informative message. With all my best wishes Peter

Hi Claudia, I agree with Matt. If you have a specific focus on a topic including aspects of semantics, ontologies some of the projects in the ZBW-Labs might be of interest for you. They include the collaborative works of librarians and IT-specialists: http://zbw.eu/labs/en Good luck Tamara

The question is what you mean by "effectively". The performance of all major Linux distributions is roughly the same and depend mor on the know how of the administrator and the architecture of your setup than on c/perl/java-benchmark results.

CentOS is a stable enterprise distribution, as is mostly Ubuntu. Some say, rpm is inferior to deb based packaging of apps, but as always some have bad experience here and good there.

If you know one distro well and your main app is supported best in that distro and you want to lower your efforts and you have to maintain it - go with that.

Having read through piles of comparisons myself I just gave in - there is no "best distro", only good admins who (have to) know their tools:)
