Digital Commons and SelectedWorks: The Hub of Academic Life on Campus

As the world‟s leading hosted institutional repository platform, Digital Commons and SelectedWorks offer a suite of services designed to collect, organize, and showcase scholarship on the web. By offering scholarly publishing support services and resources to highlight the academic work being done on their campuses, academic libraries are quickly becoming the center of scholarly publishing for their institution. In this session, Annie Teng from bepress will give an overview of Digital Commons and Selected Works. Emily Asch will discuss St. Catherine University‟s recent implementation of these intertwined resources and show how they are being used to highlight and promote the published works of their St. Kate\u27s faculty. Johan Oberg will highlight Macalester‟s use of Digital Commons to promote: undergraduate scholarly work, honors research projects, undergraduate academic journals published on campus, and a multimedia e-book publication that features streaming audio and video. ABOUT THE PRESENTERS: Emily Asch is Head of Technical Services at St. Catherine University; Johan Oberg is the Digital Scholarship & Electronic Resources Librarian at Macalester College; and Annie Teng is sales manager for Digital Commons at Berkeley Electronic Press

DESIGN OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION IN ISLAMIC UNIVERSITIES

Purpose: The objective of the present study is to investigate the design of knowledge management (KM) implementation in State Islamic Universities, which possess the status of a Public Service Agency (BLU) and have implemented the remuneration system. KM is an approach to understand how knowledge is produced, stored, and distributed to improve the academic productivity. Methodology: It is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach, which is conducted to reveal the KM implementation by exploring the knowledge management-related activities in Islamic universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation and focus group discussions (FGDs). Data analysis was done through data reduction, data display, conclusions, and verification. Main Findings: The present study indicates that KM is designed by including: First, knowledge production sourced from the outcomes of research carried out by lecturers and academic staff members with various research schemes; Second, knowledge storage is done in offline and online modes (Offline storage includes printouts, journals, and proceedings while online storage is in the form of repositories, websites, and online journals); Third, knowledge distribution is done through printouts, electronic systems, conventional lectures, and references. The KM implementation will be optimal with the support of relevant policies from the top management. Applications: The present study provides an overview of KM design that can be used as a framework by the actors and policy makers in educational institutions. Novelty / Originality: The novelty of the present study is on the description and the KM flow design in State Islamic Universities in Indonesia

Overview of scholarly communication

In this chapter, Alma Swan describes Open Access as emerging from a long history of scholarly communication, which has always been closely tied to changes in technology and economics. She describes how journal articles, books and monographs, and data have all been implicated in recent changes, but it is perhaps the recent developments in the dissemination of journal articles that have most exercised the minds of researchers, librarians, publishers and funders

From the AGE to the electronic IBVS: the past and the future of astronomical journals

Zach launched the first astronomical journals: the "Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden" and the "Monatliche Correspondenz". We will overview the road astronomical journals have covered, from the age of Zach to the present. Some major milestones on this road were the yearbooks, the first journals, the modern (refereed) journals, DTP and electronic publishing. With the help of a small journal, the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars, we explore the question of open access and possible paths to the future as well

Trends and future research in electronic marketing: a bibliometric analysis of twenty years

Artigo publicado em revista científica internacionalElectronic marketing (eM) is a flourishing phenomenon that is gaining intense concern because of a significant impact on organizational performance. Over the past few decades, the relevance of eM has been observed in numerous fields (e.g., consumers, organizational strategy, advertisement, and overall philosophy of management to understand the insights globally). To effectively maneuver the field, all stakeholders, particularly academicians and practitioners, must comprehend the current position of the eM theory and practices for dynamic utilization. A systematic bibliometric analysis can serve this issue by providing a holistic view of the publication trend and its trajectory in terms of various themes, including citations and publication metrics. This study analyzes the bibliometric data from 2000 to 2019 to reveal the most productive countries, universities, authors, journals, and prolific publications in electronic marketing. To this end, VOS viewer software was used to visualize the mapping based on co-citation, bibliographic coupling (BC), and co-occurrence (CC). The primary addition of this research is to provide an overview of eM tendencies and paths that may help researchers know the tendencies and future research directions worldwide.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Investigating the information-seeking behaviour of academic lawyers: From Ellis's model to design.

Information-seeking is important for lawyers, who have access to many dedicated electronic resources.However there is considerable scope for improving the design of these resources to better support information-seeking. One way of informing design is to use information-seeking models as theoretical lenses to analyse users’ behaviour with existing systems. However many models, including those informed by studying lawyers, analyse information-seeking at a high level of abstraction and are only likely to lead to broad-scoped design insights. We illustrate that one potentially useful (and lowerlevel) model is Ellis’s - by using it as a lens to analyse and make design suggestions based on the information-seeking behaviour of twenty-seven academic lawyers, who were asked to think aloud whilst using electronic legal resources to find information for their work. We identify similar information-seeking behaviours to those originally found by Ellis and his colleagues in scientific domains, along with several that were not identified in previous studies such as ‘updating’ (which we believe is particularly pertinent to legal information-seeking). We also present a refinement of Ellis’s model based on the identification of several levels that the behaviours were found to operate at and the identification of sets of mutually exclusive subtypes of behaviours
