One of the main functions of library > systems is to help facilitate the discovery of items and content using > metadata. Where is the line between IR systems and the discovery and > management tools the libraries use to manage their collections? What are > some strategies that libraries can employ to integrate these systems? Is > anyone having success? > > As libraries increasingly become the home to special digital > collections and > scanned materials, > finding simple ways to exchange information and ensure discoverability > of IR > content will be critical to efficient management of both systems. This > webinar will provide attendees with an overview of recent research in this > topic as well as real-world examples from organizations who are working > toward interoperability. > > Speakers > > -- Kathleen Menzies, OCRIS: Online Catalogue and Repository > Interoperability > Study - Funded by the JISC Scholarly Communications Group, OCRIS examined > the interoperability of LMSs, IRs and other administrative systems in > operation within UK universities. The project team produced extensive > recommendations for improving the visibility and usefulness of > intellectual > assets and associated data by allowing central, and rapidly developing, > information systems to interoperate. The findings of the OCRIS project > will > be presented to members of the NISO followed by a discussion of their > implications and how they relate to the wider context. > > -- Sarah Shreeves, IDEALS repository at the University of Illinois at > Urbana-Champaign - IDEALS is the digital repository for research and > scholarship - including published and unpublished papers, datasets, video > and audio - produced at the University of Illinois. > > > Registration > > For more information and to register, visit the event webpage > http://www.niso.org/news/events/2010/datainterop/).
