Fw: [IFLA-L] DSpace-CRIS, Alpha version announced
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

From:David Palmer [mailto:dtpalmer@hku.hk] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 12:17 PM To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr Subject: [IFLA-L] DSpace-CRIS, Alpha version announced ***apologies for cross-posting*** CILEA and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) are pleased to announce the immediate availability for download of the first alpha release of the DSpace CRIS module. https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris Publications are an important output of the research cycle. They allow communication between scholars, and measurement and decision support of research amongst research administrators. However there are many other equally important entities in research that need description and tracking, such as projects, grants, patents, organization units, researcher profiles (people), etc. Integrating and contextualizing all of these entities along with publications, adds greater value to each individual piece, in terms of visibility, discovery, and understanding of the total research picture. One name used for such integrations is Current Research Information System (CRIS). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_Research_Information_System This DSpace addon enables the ingestion, storage, display and management of metadata & fulltext on these other research entities. This module produces a smooth integration between native DSpace items (publications) and other CRIS entities. All entities (native DSpace items or new CRIS Entities) can be linked with each other using autocomplete/lookup functions in the submission edit phase and the inter-navigation in visualizations. This is the first public release. Richer versions with more features and functionality will appear soon. These are described in the DSpace CRIS Roadmap page: https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris/wiki/Roadmap Most of these features are now in The HKU Scholars Hub. http://hub.hku.hk The current version works on a customized version of DSpace 1.8.2 JSPUI and can be installed by following the instructions provided here: https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris/wiki/Installation We expect to release a complete upgrade of the DSpace CRIS module to DSpace 3 in the coming months. Some of this code base will make its way into general DSpace releases, such as “Solr Discovery for JSPUI” in DSpace 3. However we envision that most of this work will be an optional addon, which DSpace developers can choose to implement, or not. In the spirit of open source, we hope that this DSpace CRIS module will receive wide adoption in the DSpace community. We hope that many will find useful and then build further upon this start. To enable this desired multilateral collaboration, we ask that you send any inquires directly to the dspace mailing lists (mainly dspace-tech(a)lists.sourceforge.net) Up to now, this has been a collaboration between CILEA and HKU. The HKU side is supported by funding from the HKU Office of Knowledge Exchange and the University Libraries. A note on mailing list etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette Our open regards to all, CILEA & HKU ________________________________ http://libinfospace.blogspot.com/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made.

Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions Session 1: February 25 – March 22 Session 2: April 15 – May 10 Session 3: July 29 – August 23 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources.

This course is sponsored by Harrassowitz. Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management Session 1: March 4 – March 29 Session 2: April 29 – May 24 Session 3: August 5 – August 30 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries.

Fundamentals of Preservation Session 1: March 25 – April 19 Session 2: May 13 – June 7 Session 3: September 9 – October 4 The Fundamentals of Preservation introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives. The course is designed to inform all staff, across divisions and departments and at all levels of responsibility. It provides tools to begin extending the useful life of library collections. Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications.
