Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
No full textThis 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
Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
No full textIn 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

<p><strong><a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall">Official Website: Click Here</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><em><strong>Smart Solar Box</strong></em></a> is an online system designed to teach you how to create an endless source of self-sustaining energy right here, right now. There’s no need for you to spend a fortune on materials or break your back trying to lift a massive generator. No, you don’t have to go back to school to get an engineering degree nor do you need to have any special skills because everything is provided to you in this step-by-step guide. And I know what you’re thinking – solar panels are expensive. They certainly can be, but they aren’t when you have a book that reveals the solar industry secrets to creating your own solar power station, and one that fits in a toolbox. So, if you’re tired of getting robbed by your electricity bills, finding yourself in the pitch dark when the power suddenly goes out or just want to have your own energy source, you’ve come to the right place. It’s time to learn how to build a Smart Solar Box.</p>
<p><strong>About the Smart Solar Box Program</strong></p>
<p>If you’re ready to cut your energy bills significantly, it’s time to create your own endless source of self-sustained energy. <a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><strong>Smart Solar Box</strong></a> is an online program that provides you with the exact steps to doing just that. This system is more of an instruction manual-tutorial than it is a program, as it doesn’t have all the nonsense that many other “programs” provide. Instead, it gets right down to business – building your own solar power plant in a toolbox.</p>
<p><strong>When you start the program, you receive:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The Main eBook</li>
<li>3 Video Tutorials on Building the Box</li>
<li>10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels</li>
<li>Build Your Own Wind Generator</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Table of Contents for “Smart Solar Box” Guide.</strong></p>
<p>The main eBook is where you’ll find the step-by-step instructions needed to create the Smart Solar Box. It covers everything from the tools and electrical components you need, where to get each of them, and of course, what to do when you have all the materials needed. But don’t let this deter you because you don’t need to be a handyman (or woman), nor do you even have to know what a wrench is. The program breaks it down so meticulously that even the most unskilled (ahem, myself) people can make their own energy. Oh, but you aren’t just learning how to make an energy box that sparks a little bit of juice. This toolbox solar system that you learn how to build is strong enough to power up an entire cabin, garage, refrigerator – you name it. You can use it for pretty much everything, and it’s so lightweight and portable, making it easy to do just that.</p>
<p>Now, you also receive 3 video tutorials which are pretty much the main eBook broken down into videos. So, if you’re more of a visual person, you’ll definitely like this addition. Just click play and follow along.</p>
<p>You also receive 10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels and Build Your Own Wind Generator which have nothing to do with your Smart Solar Box. However, once you start creating your own energy source (and saving a ton of money from doing so), you’ll want to dive even deeper into it. With these bonuses, you can do just that.</p>
<p>The best part? You don’t have to wait for shipping to get started. The guide is entirely online. So, you just download the content onto your desktop, tablet, smartphone or laptop and start following through the steps. I recommend having it on whatever device is going to be in the space where you intend on building your box, whether it’s your office with a desktop or in the man cave or backyard where you’ll need a tablet or smartphone.</p>
<p><strong>About the Author of Smart Solar Box</strong></p>
<p>What may surprise you is that this solar box wasn’t created by some big tech engineer. Instead, the creator, Ryan Tanner, is just like you and I. After seeing his father creating and using his own energy source while living in a cabin in Wisconsin, he sought out to do the same in his home. And well, here we are!</p>
<p><strong>Brief Summary of the Smart Solar Box Guide</strong></p>
<p>To help you have a better idea of the steps needed to build your own solar power plant in a toolbox, here is a sneak peek at the sections that you’ll be working through with the Smart Solar Box program:</p>
<p><strong>Chapter 1: Introduction</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Basic Principle Regarding Solar Energy</li>
<li>General Technical Regards</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Chapter 2: Tools and Components</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Tools</li>
<li>Components (electronic parts needed)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Chapter 3: Building The Box</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Assembling Solar Panels</li>
<li>Preparing the Box</li>
<li>Wiring Process</li>
<li>Recap – Short Review of the Process</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Chapter 4: Testing the Device</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chapter 5: List of Places Where You Can By the Components</strong></p>
<p>Again, you do have three video tutorials that cover all of this as well. So, whether you prefer to read instructions or thrive on visual instructions, there’s an option for you.</p>
<p>Add on the 10 Easy Steps to Build Your Solar Panels and Build Your Own Wind Generator bonus tutorials you receive, and you’re pretty much ready for anything that comes your way.</p>
<p>You also receive extra-extra bonus programs at no extra charge to you. Some apply to this energy-saving endeavor you’re embarking on and others, not so much. But they’re free. So, might as well download them while you’re at it. They are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Personal Home Security</li>
<li>Martial Arts for Seniors</li>
<li>Backyard Bio Gardening</li>
<li>Going Green 101</li>
<li>Saving Energy in Your Home</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Verdict</strong></p>
<p>Put it all together, and you get a solar power plant that is affordable, portable and small enough that it fits in a toolbox, plus 7 bonus programs at absolutely no extra charge to you, and a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee to figure out whether or not you’re serious about saving money. Certainly, once you see how easy it is to do just that, you’d be crazy to opt to pay for city-electricity when you can have your own brewing in the sun. Oh, which leaves me to one more thing. <a href="http://bit.ly/smartpowerforall"><strong>The Smart Solar Box</strong></a> is designed so well that even the cloudiest of days provide enough power for you to use this box as your primary source of energy, as a generator, or as a backup in case of an emergency.</p>
<p>So, do you continue to pay utterly ridiculous prices for unreliable electricity or do you take matters into your own hands and make your own? The choice is yours!</p

Applying the NISO Metasearch Initiative Scheme to Enhance E-Resources Management at Rutgers University Library
No full textThis 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
A Metadata Manager's Role in Collaborative Projects: The Rutgers University Libraries Experience
No full textPurpose – 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
