Presentation of interest focusing on Research and Next-Gen Catalogues « The Cataloguing Librarian: "Amy Eklund gave a very good presentation on the shortage of research we have examining next generation catalogues, and areas that need to be explored.
Key points?
We should examine next generation catalogues because:
1. So far, a build it and they will come approach has been taken with these catalogues;
2. Discovery tool overlays, such as Encore and AquaBrowser, are not integrated with the catalogue, but sit on top, like an interface;
3. Next generation catalogue features are not based on large scale of evidence; and
4. Rich content contained in our bibliographic records is still not being used to its greatest potential."

Linked Data tools: Semantic Web for the masses / Lisa Goddard and Gillian Byrne
Semantic Web technologies have immense potential to transform the Internet into a distributed reasoning machine that will not only execute extremely precise searches, but will also have the ability to analyze the data it finds to create new knowledge. This paper examines the state of Semantic Web (also known as Linked Data) tools and infrastructure to determine whether semantic technologies are sufficiently mature for non–expert use, and to identify some of the obstacles to global Linked Data implementation.

Resource Discovery Taskforce
Resource Discovery Taskforce: "The resource discovery taskforce (RDTF) vision poses a number of challenging technical questions such as:
What is an aggregation?
How do institutions contribute open metadata?
What metadata and standards do we use?
How do you build interfaces that developers will be keen to use?
What needs to be done to existing services and aggregations?"

Open Bibliographic Data Guide
Open Bibliographic Data Guide: "It’s all about the business case
Andy McGregor, the JISC Programme Manager explains:
Why are libraries around the world devoting time and resources to releasing their bibliographic data under an open licence? What’s in it for them and what are the costs and practical issues involved? JISC’s purpose for this guide is to try and provide some answers to these questions and to help academic librarians think about the potential implications for their own library.
One of the possibilities that open bibliographic data offers is the chance for libraries and indeed anyone to reuse the data to build innovative services for researchers, teachers, students and librarians. JISC will be exploring these possibilities through the work of the Resource Discovery Task Force."

Institutional Repository Bibliography
Institutional Repository Bibliography: "The Institutional Repository Bibliography (IRB) presents selected English-language articles, books, technical reports, and other scholarly textual sources that are useful in understanding institutional repositories. (See the scope note for further details.)
Most sources have been published between 2000 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 2000 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to e-prints in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories for published articles. Note that e-prints and published articles may not be identical."
