Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
This research evaluates the success of open access self-archiving in several well-known institutional repositories. Two assessment factors have been applied to examine the current practice of self-archiving: depositorship and the availability of full text. This research discovers that the rate of author self-archiving is low and that the majority of documents have been deposited by a librarian or administrative staff. Similarly, the rate of full-text availability is relatively low, except for Australian repositories. By identifying different practices of self-archiving, repository managers can create new strategies for the operation of their repositories and the development of archiving policies
How Creativity is Changing China
The question Professor Li Wuwei investigates is not 'whether' creativity is changing China - but 'how' creativity is changing China. The outcome will have a profound impact on how China develops and its economic role in the world.\ud

Creative industries maintain and protect historical and cultural heritage, improve cultural capital, and foster communities as well as individual creativity. This leads to the improvement of cultural assets of cities, the establishment of city brands and identity, the promotion of the creative economy, and overall economic and social development. In this context, creativity is changing China forever.\u
Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
In the age of information explosion and technological advancement, issues of information storage, organization, access, and evaluation have become necessarily important in our societies. Addressing issues of information literacy and designing how they can be best integrated in students' learning process are of critical importance. Library professionals in the United States, particularly in the academia, have realized the importance of information literacy and have attempted in various ways to address these issues. The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices. This article will look at ways of how information literacy can best be incorporated into students' academic experience, and how this process can make students' learning meaningful and successful. Specifically, the author will examine the model of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum, as demonstrated in the Ohio Five Colleges' Information Literacy Program.Publisher version of this article is available at: http://www.white-clouds.com/iclc/cliej/cl24.ht
A Metadata Manager's Role in Collaborative Projects: The Rutgers University Libraries Experience
Purpose – This article discusses the roles and responsibilities of a metadata manager in collaborative digital projects.
Methodology – It describes the general requirements for metadata management, and introduces some scenarios in the practices of digital projects by the Rutgers University Libraries to support the generalized definition. A workflow of metadata management is illustrated.
Practical implications – With an explicit definition of the roles and responsibilities of the metadata manager, many other digital libraries that need to develop a new or optimize the existing workflow may find the Rutgers experience useful as reference.
Originality – Very few articles have explored this topic although the functions of metadata in the development of digital projects have been talked extensively.Peer reviewe
Li-rich layered Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 derived from transition metal carbonate with a micro-nanostructure as a cathode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries
Compared to commercialized cathode materials, Li-rich layered oxide exhibits a superior mass energy density. However, owing to its low tap/press density, the advantage of its volume energy density is not as obvious as that of its mass energy density, which limits its applications in some volume-constrained fields. It has been shown that the morphology of the precursor is critical to the performances of the final product. Here, solvothermal and co-precipitation methods were adopted to synthesize transition metal carbonate balls with micro-size particles to obtain high-density Li-rich layered oxides. The solvothermal synthesized carbonate showed a micro-nano hierarchical structure composed of nanoplates as subunits, and the co-precipitated synthesized carbonate just presents a micrometer quasi-ball morphology. The Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 derived from the above solvothermal synthesized carbonate (ST-LMNCO) demonstrated an improved volume density of similar to 14% compared to the one derived from the co-precipitated synthesized carbonate (CP-LMNCO). As for electrochemical performances, the ST-LMNCO exhibited a higher discharge specific capacitance (296.6mA h g(-1) for the first discharge), a better rate performance (201.6 mA h g(-1) at 1C rate) and a better capacity retention capability (86.2% after 80 cycles) than the CP-LMNCO. The morphologies of the transition metal carbonates as starting materials significantly impacted the morphologies of the derived Li-1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 particles. Therefore, the carbonate with a hierarchical micro-nanostructure obtained from the solvothermal method is a promising precursor for high performance Li1.2Mn0.Ni-54(0).13Co0.13O2.</p
Batch Loading in Metadata Creation: A Case Study the Rutgers University Libraries Experience
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to describe a workflow of automated batch loading metadata from existing text to a database.
Methodology/Approach – It introduces a case for the experience of metadata creation at Rutgers University Libraries in a collaborative digital project with the Hoboken Public Library in New Jersey.
Findings – It is found that a well-designed workflow is crucial to the success of metadata batch loading. It is also found that the metadata manager needs to collaborate with people of different roles and work carefully with data reorganization and transferring.
Practical Implications – Metadata creation and management is an integrated component of any digital project. Our experience in metadata batch loading has practical significance that may be incorporated into the practice of other metadata projects. The workflow introduced in this article will provide valuable example for librarians and information professionals to consider or redesign their own digital efforts.
Originality – Based on our real exercise, this workflow has been proven to be unique and useful. It was, after the writing of this article, applied to a new collaborative digital project and once again fulfilled the requirements for another batch transferring process.Peer reviewe
Applying the NISO Metasearch Initiative Scheme to Enhance E-Resources Management at Rutgers University Library
This paper discusses problems in the management of library e-resources and attempts to identify potential solutions to the problems. By describing an e-resources enhancement project taken by Rutgers University Libraries, this paper points to the importance of providing contextually-rich metadata and reorganizing the accessibility of e-resources on a library’s website. It introduces how this Rutgers project adopted the National Information Standards Organization Metasearch Initiative to support the identification of appropriate e-collections for metaseaching. The outcomes of the project have facilitated a dynamic display of relevant e-resources to library users as an effective way of automatic access to library e-collections.Peer reviewe
Factors to Assess Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories
This paper proposes a group of factors that may be used to assess the success of open access self-archiving. It concentrates on self-archiving in institutional repositories. The authors emphasize the importance of examining content materials, particularly the availability of full text versus abstracts and the deposits archived by authors versus by others.Peer reviewe

Tartalomkészítői gyakorlat nyoma a médiaszövegen Li Ziqi videóiban
Jelenleg Li Ziqi (magyarul: Li Zicsi) a legnagyobb feliratkozó számmal rendelkező kínai rövidvideó-készítő a YouTube-on, és mint kiemelkedő kínai rövidvideó-készítőnek, az egész világon vannak követői, befolyá sa pedig óriási. Li Ziqi rövid videói az idilli tájat bemutatva egyedi audiovizuális élményt nyújtanak a nézőknek. Úgy gondolom, Li Ziqi követendő példakép, és sikertörténete pozitív tanulságokkal szolgálhat más videobloggerek számára.
A dolgozat első részében az irodalomelemzé si módszerek segítségével és a releváns kínai, magyar és angol nyelvű szakirodalom ö sszefoglalva elemzem az User-Generated Content (UGC) tartalom, a User-Generated Content (PGC) tartalom é s az Occupationally-generated Content (OGC) tartalom jellemzőit és a köztük lévő különbségeket. A rövid videók kínai fejlesztésének 3 szakasza az UGC szakasz, a PGC szakasz és az OGC szakasz, ebben a sorrendben.
A dolgozat második részében Li Ziqi pályafutását három szakaszra osztom a kínai rövidvideó-ipar fejlődésével párhuzamosan: Az egyéni videokészítés szakasza, Teamwork szakasz és a szakmai szervezettel való együttműködés szakasza. A három szakasz mindegyikében Li Ziqi mint tartalomgyártó identitása különböző jellemzőkkel bír. Li Ziqi UGC-tartalomkészítőből PGC-tartalomkészítővé vált egy szakmai csapat létrehozá sával és videói minő ségének javításával, majd OGC-tartalomkészítővé vált egy azonos nevű márka létrehozá sával.
A dolgozat harmadik részében véletlenszerű mintavételi módszert alkalmazva mindegyik szakaszból tíz rövid videót választok ki vizsgálati tárgyként, hogy narratológiai szempontból, konkrétan a narratív alany, a témaválasztás, a narratív tér és a történet cselekménye négy nézőpontból elemezzem Li Ziqi videóinak jellemzőit és változásait az egyes időszakokban.
Kutatásom során megállapítottam, hogy Li Ziqi videóinak szerepstruktúráit az aktantmodell alapján az jellemzi, hogy Li Ziqi egyedüli alanyból főszereplővé válik, akit egyre több mellékszereplő kísér. A videó témája első sorban a hagyományos kínai ételek, kiegészítve a kulturális örökség elemeivel és etnikai kézműves termékekkel. A narratív tér egyszerű és kezdetlegesen felépített helyből gyönyörűen díszített és több helyszínnel rendelkező világgá vált, ahol már a kínai tájak szépségét is – többnyire nagy látószögű felvételeken keresztül – bemutatja. A videó cselekménye viszonylag rögzített, amit ,,küldetés teljesítve”modellnek neveznék. Általánosságban elmondható, hogy Li Ziqi videótartalma és filmkészítési készségei egyre komplexebb termék előállításának irányába haladó tendenciát mutatnak, köszönhetően egy professzionális videógyártó csapat kialakításának, a professzionális MCN (Multi-Channel Network) cégekkel való együttműködésnek és Li Ziqi egyedülálló narratív képességeinek.MSc/MAKommunikáció- és média szakL
