For those interested in exploring crowdsourcing, transcription tools, and OCR,
this is a really neat opportunity to see what's going on in natural science
collections.
I attended the Augmenting OCR hackathon in February and learned a tremendous
amount about OCR. Better yet, one of the tools I

Right now, we have a sort of ad hoc Usability Team, and I'd like to make a
pitch for hiring someone who will have the time and inclination to manage

I do not think we have a usability person, per se. The position is sort
I think this depends a bit on the size of your institution. Where I am at
we have barely enough funding to have a small number of librarians. I
think you are right in so far is places should have a dedicated usability
person, but this is not always possible.

Here at Cornell, we have a usability group of about 15 people that includes
librarians, developers, designers, and other staff. We serve as a centralized
resource for usability testing for new or returning websites and other
development projects. A few of the members have 10% of their time
I think, where budgets allow, this is an increasingly common function /

with our Marketing Department [because we have one ... ]. My friend Amanda
It is nice to see a growing appreciation for UX in our domain. Michael,
librarians ARE users, but I understand what you're saying in that
they've had too much influence, and have unfortunately brought bias to
the design process that has created obstacles for other users.

We are spinning up a UX team at IU Bloomington Libraries—below is the current

Hi everyone,
Forgive me if this question has been asked before on this listserv, but I'm
trying to gather some info for proceeding with patents down the road.
Do you have patents in your IR? What priority do they take in your
repository process? What's your workflow when dealing with them? Any
Can you provide context? I am trying to understand why you would put a
patent in an IR.

Sure, apologies for out-of-the-blue questions.
Well, a faculty member approaches the repository with their CV and asks us
to investigate all their publications to see how much of their work we can
deposit. They list their patents as part of their scholarly output on their
CV. My understanding is
The intellectual property is a patent, not a copyright. The actual patent
that was granted can be retrieved from the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The paper documentation can be copied and posted freely by anyone.
Copyright is not an issue here.
