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

Color pattern similar to male. Sternum 7 without pregenital plate. Subgenital plate of sternum 8 fully sclerotized, generally pentagonal and covering nearly the entire length and slightly touching anterior margin of sternum 9, the width barely ½ of segment width; plate with wide but shallow medial triangular notch. The paragenital plate paired and brown, subrectangular and attached laterally to the subgenital plate. Remarks. A female was originally described with the holotype of I. auriformis as the female of this species because both were collected at the same locality. However, this specifically described female did not occur with males of I. auriformis at the above localities. Our female was positively associated from mating pairs. It is concluded that the female originally associated with the original description of I. auriformis was based on an erroneously associated female and that this female is treated herein as an unidentified Indonemoura female.Published as part of Li, Wenliang, Yang, Ding & Li, Weihai, 2020, A new species of Indonemoura fujianensis complex (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Central China, with female association of I. auriformis Li & Yang, 2008, pp. 441-447 in Zootaxa 4868 (3) on page 446, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4868.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/441798
Silver-catalyzed direct conversion of epoxides into cyclopropanes using N-triftosylhydrazones
No full textAbstract Epoxides, as a prominent small ring O-heterocyclic and the privileged pharmacophores for medicinal chemistry, have recently represented an ideal substrate for the development of single-atom replacements. The previous O-to-C replacement strategy for epoxides to date typically requires high temperatures to achieve low yields and lacks substrate range and functional group tolerance, so achieving this oxygen-carbon exchange remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report a silver-catalyzed direct conversion of epoxides into trifluoromethylcyclopropanes in a single step using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors, thereby achieving oxygen-carbon exchange via a tandem deoxygenation/[2 + 1] cycloaddition. The reaction shows broad tolerance of functional groups, allowing routine cheletropic olefin synthesis in a strategy for the net oxygen-carbon exchange reaction. The utility of this method is further showcased with the late-stage diversification of epoxides derived from bioactive natural products and drugs. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations elucidate the reaction mechanism and the origin of the chemo- and stereoselectivity
Factors to Assess Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories
No full textThis 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
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

Batch Loading in Metadata Creation: A Case Study the Rutgers University Libraries Experience
No full textPurpose – 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
