Oral communication is transient but many important decisions, social contracts and fact 'ndings are 'rst canied out in an oral setup, documented in written form and later retrieved. At Carnegie Mellons University s Interactive Systems Laboratories we have been experimenting with the documentation of meetings. T h s paper summarizes part of the progress that we have made in this test bed, speci'cally on the question of automatic transcription using LVCSR, information access using non-keyword based methods, summarization and user interfaces. The system is capable to automatically construct a searchable and browsable audiovisual database of meetings and provide access to these records.

United States through a content analysis of 185 library websites, with four main areas of focus: service, information, education, and network. The results from the content analysis of these webpages reveals that libraries need to advance and engage more actively to provide services, supply information online, and develop educational services. There is also a wide variation among library data management services and programs according to their web presence. IntroductionThe importance of research data management has been emphasized over the past few decades. Tenopir et al. argue that, as science grows and moves toward more collaborative, data-intensive, and computational research, researchers are faced with various data management needs.1 Research data management is also mandated for scholarly researchers.2 Despite this, many researchers are unprepared for or lack sufficient time to handle the requirements of data management.3 Researchers also have a number of concerns about data management issues, such as data storage, integrity, and backup options. 4 Keil thus argues the researchers will need the help of a team of experts. 5As a response to researchers' need and request for help with data management, academic libraries have been actively involved in research data services: that is, "services that address the full data lifecycle, including the data management plan, digital Although libraries are aware of their potential role in and impact on research data management and curation and have started providing (or planning) data management services, not all libraries are in the same phase due to the different perceptions and needs related to data management at the institutional level, which vary with institutional capacity (and/or boundaries) and policies. Previous research reports that libraries face many challenges in data management program development (such as funding for personnel and equipment and lack of broader institutional support). Tools and recommendations have been developed by leading libraries to overcome these challenges, but other areas of support are needed, such as professional training and collaboration with other institutions to develop more skills in identifying appropriate materials.This study examined the research data (management) services in academic libraries in the United States through a content analysis of 185 library websites. Examining the current landscape of research data management services is timely and significant for both libraries that are currently planning to improve their data management services and those libraries that are already ahead in providing services. This research provides an overall understanding of where research data management programs are and where they are going; it also facilitates the understanding of current practices and data management recommendations and/or tool adoptions and reveals areas that need improvement and support. Literature ReviewMany researchers attest to the role of libraries in data management. Flore et al. argue that data management involv...

The goal of the open access (OA) movement is to help everyone access the scholarly research, not just those who can afford to. However, most studies looking at whether OA has met this goal have focused on whether other scholars are making use of OA research. Few have considered how the broader public, including the news media, uses OA research. This study sought to answer whether the news media mentions OA articles more or less than paywalled articles by looking at articles published from 2010 through 2018 in journals across all four quartiles of the Journal Impact Factor using data obtained through Altmetric.com and the Web of Science. Gold, green and hybrid OA articles all had a positive correlation with the number of news mentions received. News mentions for OA articles did see a dip in 2018, although they remained higher than those for paywalled articles. Peer Review https://publons.com/publon/10.1162/qss_a_00139

INTRODUCTION Although librarians initially hoped institutional repositories (IRs) would grow through researcher self-archiving, practice shows that growth is much more likely through library-directed deposit. Libraries must then find efficient ways to ingest material into their IR to ensure growth and relevance. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM Valparaiso University developed and implemented a workflow that was semiautomated to help cut down on the time needed to ingest articles into its IR, ValpoScholar. The workflow, which continues to be refined, makes use of practices and ideas used by other repositories to more efficiently collect metadata for items and upload them to the repository. NEXT STEPS The article discusses the pros and cons of this workflow and areas of ingesting that still need to be addressed, including adding full-text items, checking copyright policies, managing student staffing, and dealing with hurdles created by the repository’s software.

This project sought to study how much academic librarians who work with open educational resources (OERs) know about accessibility, as well as how they incorporate accessibility into the products of their work. A survey was sent out through email list services in spring 2020, and any librarian worldwide who works with OERs was invited to participate; 193 responded in full. Just under half of librarians said they always consider accessibility when working with faculty to create or adapt OERs, but fewer than a third said they consider accessibility a factor when adding OERs to their collections.
