Webinar on IR as a necessary campus investment
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Friends: You might wish to register for a one-hour webinar on IRs as a necessary investment. The Repository Today: A Necessary Campus Investment Fri, Jan 23, 2015 12:30 AM - 1:30 AM ISTLet’s face it: library budge ts haven't gotten any better over the past few years. In fact, many have continued to decline. Yet investment in IRs and scholarly communication is on the rise, and the number of institutional repositories worldwide, at institutions of all shapes and sizes, continues to climb. Why is that? More and more colleges and universities have come to recognize that the IR is an essential part of any campus infrastructure, and an indispensable library service. The IR is part of core campus strategies for institutional funding and visibility, student learning and recruitment, and research. Join us to learn how libraries can position the IR as a necessary campus investment. Drawing from the Digital Commons community of nearly 400 institutions, the webinar will share data and examples of necessary IR services and their real-world impact on all corners of campus: faculty, students, centers and departments, and the institution as a whole. We encourage you to invite stakeholders from outside the library who would like to understand the myriad ways that an IR connects to the campus mission. Presented by Irene Kamotsky, Director of Strategic Initiatives, bepress Digital Commons.

A new open science reviewing tool
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Friends: Here is an interesting development from Harvard that helps researchers to discuss their work online. Indian researchers, especially the younger lot, might wish to try. Academic librarians can alert their users to this new tool. Arun < http://www.gsas.harvard.edu/scholarly-life/taking-open-access-to-a-new-leve… > Taking Open Access to a New Level Posted Wednesday, 14 January 2015 Inspired by the growing Open Access publishing movement, PhD candidates Erik Bauch and Georg Kucsko have developed Open Rev., an innovative online platform that enables users to engage in open, interactive discussion of scholarly works. Operating independently of outside publishers, the free tool inspires a review technique Bauch and Kucsko call “collaborative annotation,” offering an online community where scholars can upload papers and pose specific questions or notes to their peers. “Up until now scientific discussions usually occurred at conferences, in journal club, or in hallways on the way to lunch,” explains Bauch. “With Open Rev. we are trying to motivate people to take some of these discussions online and share their knowledge with the whole scientific community.” The project took flight after Bauch and Kucsko, both physics scholars, were awarded a Spark Grant through the Harvard Initiative for Teaching and Learning (HILT). They soon after received second prize at this year’s Bridge@HGSE Education Innovation Pitch Competition. The duo has since tested the tool with great success amid students and instructors in the physics department at Harvard, creating a space to share notes and ideas beyond the classroom. Since its inception, the platform has evolved substantially and now boasts a number of unique features. While the purpose of the endeavor is to inspire open, public debate, users are also afforded the option to create closed groups—ideal for classes, study groups, or discussion sections. Open Rev. differs from the average online forum in that reviewers are equipped with the ability to reinforce textual comments with imagery, sketches, and LaTeX, a commonly used markup tool for scientific publications with complex coding and formulas. By providing an interactive PDF viewer, comments can also be directly linked to the relevant passage in the text. The site also facilitates the process of cross-referencing, making it easy for users to link to specific passages in other works. Open Rev. officially launched in August and now hosts approximately 500 active users, with more than 1,500 posted comments. While the site remains focused on scientific research, its creators have no qualms with the idea of opening it up to other disciplines. For now, however, Bauch and Kucsko are intent on building a continuously evolving scientific knowledge base for the modern scholar. “We hope that via such archiving of scientific discussions,” says Bauch, “we will increase global scientific collaboration and provide valuable knowledge to future generations of researchers.” -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
