Investing in Knowledge: The Benefits of an Open Access Fund

This presentation will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the University of Nebraska at Omaha Open Access Fund through analysis of the disciplinary diversity of applicants, eligibility guidelines, funding limit and the benefits of publishing Open Access. Furthermore, it will seek to discover ways to increase participation in the Open Access Fund and by extension, the institutional repository, through comparison with other universities’ OA funds

Anatomy of Creative Commons Licenses

In this presentation we will explore the anatomy of Creative Commons licenses through coming to understand six key areas. These areas are: 1.What is Creative Commons (CC)? 2.Three layers of the CC licenses 3.Four license elements and their icons 4.Six Creative Commons licenses 5.CC licenses affect on copyright exceptions and limitations 6.CC licenses affect on works in the public domai

What is Creative Commons?

What is Creative Commons? is a presentation discussing the background and purpose of Creative Commons

Using Creative Commons Licenses and Creative Commons Licensed Works

Understanding the difference between collections and derivative works is key to your reuse and adaptation of existing material. It is often useful to create collections and derivative works for educational purposes; for instance, you may wish to compile a collection of articles or adapt an existing educational source to serve as a course text. However, it is not always possible to do both or any, depending on copyright restrictions. This presentation will guide your use and re-use of material that hold a Creative Commons license. In this presentation we will answer the questions What are collections and what are derivative works? We will also provide examples of collections and derivative works, along with providing tools for how to navigate reuse with the adapter\u27s license chart and the license compatibility chart

Opening Access: Increasing Scholarly Impact with DigitalCommons@UNO

DigitalCommons@UNO (https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/) is an Institutional Repository (IR) and an initiative implemented by the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Libraries to support our UNO scholars through providing a Green Open Access solution. DigitalCommons@UNO disseminates a wide variety of scholarship including faculty papers, electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), conferences and journals. Since its launch in 2014, the UNO Libraries have been implementing and managing DigitalCommons@UNO through outreach to the UNO community in an effort to collect scholarly works into the IR

Creating Capacity for Research Data Services at Regional Universities: A Case Study

Understanding the processes of research design and of data collection, organization, storage, preservation, and sharing is critical to the success of any project, regardless of the scope of the research. From research design and conceptualization to the potential sharing of data with other researchers for replicability, as well as preserving data for the benefit of the wider research community, unique challenges, as well as opportunities for research data management (RDM) and research data services (RDS) teams, are presented; these include problems, issues, and concerns regarding how to prepare a data management plan (DMP) and how to manage data collection, analysis, storage, and preservation. In response to these concerns, academic institutions typically have structured RDS for students and faculty through the support of many stakeholders: academic librarians who are familiar with the disciplinary resources and have skills in archives, data curation, and institutional repositories; information technology services staff who provide solutions to infrastructure issues regarding storage and archiving; and other campus research administration entities that deal with the funding, integrity, and administration aspects of the research

On insertion-deletion systems over relational words

We introduce a new notion of a relational word as a finite totally ordered set of positions endowed with three binary relations that describe which positions are labeled by equal data, by unequal data and those having an undefined relation between their labels. We define the operations of insertion and deletion on relational words generalizing corresponding operations on strings. We prove that the transitive and reflexive closure of these operations has a decidable membership problem for the case of short insertion-deletion rules (of size two/three and three/two). At the same time, we show that in the general case such systems can produce a coding of any recursively enumerable language leading to undecidabilty of reachability questions.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
