Getting the Most out of CORAL

Recent changes to Canada’s Copyright Act have propelled copyright and licensed use into the spotlight at colleges and universities in Canada. This session will look at Queen’s and University of Toronto libraries’ experience implementing a licensing permissions workflow using OCUL Usage Rights database (OUR). The systems will be covered are: 360 Link, Summon, Voyager OPAC, Endeca. We will explain how to implement the license links with and without using API.

The document discusses best practices and considerations for developing workflows for ingesting digital objects into repositories and digital libraries. It covers key aspects of ingest workflows including standards, quality assurance procedures, metadata, tools and software. Example ingest workflows are provided using systems like Archivematica, DSpace and DataVerse to illustrate the ingest process.

This work describes the application of semantic wikis in distant learning for Semantic Web courses. The resulting system focuses its application of existing and new wiki technology in making a wiki-based interface that demonstrates Semantic Web features. A new layer of wiki technology, called “OWL Wiki Forms” is introduced for this Semantic Web functionality in the wiki interface. This new functionality includes a form-based interface for editing Semantic Web ontologies. The wiki then includes appropriate data from these ontologies to extend existing wiki RDF export. It also includes ontology-driven creation of data entry and browsing interfaces for the wiki itself. As a wiki, the system provides the student an educational tool that students can use anywhere while still sharing access with the instructor and, optionally, other students.

This document summarizes two research profiling and preservation tools: Focus on Research and T-Space. Focus on Research allows faculty to create online research profiles highlighting publications and activities. It integrates with other websites and includes tools to import publications. T-Space is an institutional repository that allows scholars to preserve and distribute research in various digital formats with persistent access. The two tools work together, with Focus populating research profiles and T-Space archiving full-text works. They provide benefits like increased access, citation rates, and preservation of scholarly output for faculty and the university community.

This document outlines a presentation about lessons learned from auditing EZproxy logs as an EZproxy administrator. EZproxy is a web proxy server used by libraries to provide remote access to restricted resources. The presentation covers what EZproxy is, reviewing EZproxy log files and security features, performing a security audit, post-review activities, advanced tools, and security lessons learned. Key points include taking geolocation data with skepticism, the value of failed login attempts, finding balance with usage limits, and automating auditing while still using human judgment.

Presented by Zena Mulligan, SUNCAT Project Officer for EDINA, at Internet Librarian International, London, 21 October 2014.

This document summarizes key findings from a 2009 user study on metadata and discovery of archives and special collections. It discusses that users prefer to search independently without librarian help, value content over format, and will scan results if motivated. Linked data is presented as a solution to better integrate and disambiguate resources through named entities and graph-based relevance. The document also discusses challenges in defining useful linked data use cases and lessons from the DPLA experience in creating a linked data model and ingestion system. It emphasizes investing in good data, being adaptable, keeping users in mind, making incremental changes, and testing prototypes.

Cendrella Habre presented on planning for library automation at the Lebanese American University. She outlined a multi-phase process including pre-planning, data collection, system selection, and retrospective conversion. Habre emphasized assigning a project manager, communicating with stakeholders, keeping a reasonable schedule, and training staff strategically. For migrating between systems, she recommended extracting data carefully, establishing workflows in a test database, and assessing the new system. Flexibility and teamwork are keys to successful implementation.

Open Source ERMs and GoKB - Management of acquisition, licensing, and access to subscription based electronic resources is a challenging for many libraies with the resources for proprietary ERMs. For those that want to have meaningful input into how their ERM works, the black box is a source of great frustraion. For those who cannot afford such interfaces, it can seem impossible. I will present available open source electronic resource management systems (ERMes and CORAL) and GoKB, a forthcoming, freely available knowledge base "that will contain publication information about electronic resources as it is represented within the supply chain from content publishers to suppliers to libraries." How can these open source ERMs be used in tandem with Koha? How can GoKB be repurposed to use with these tools? Is building an ERM into Koha reasonable or feasible?

Do you have license agreements with publishers languishing in your file cabinets? Or have you implemented an ERMS but struggled to manage the overload of data? The University of Notre Dame, Hesburgh Libraries, faced these challenges and decided to build their own solution. Their CORAL product is a suite of interoperable and independent modules designed around the core components of managing electronic resources, and the first module to be rolled out for external use was Licensing. The Licensing module was released to the public under a GNU GPL license in April 2010 and the first institution to implement outside of Notre Dame was Stanford University. This session will compare and contrast two institutions experiences implementing and using CORAL-Licensing. Hear how each institution initiated implementation of CORAL, learn how they determined which licensing terms to track, and find out how they kept the process of electronic resource management flexible, manageable and (almost) fun! We will discuss the adoption process, including internal communication and decision-making as well as hurdles and successes of CORAL-Licensing. For more information on CORAL: http://erm.library.nd.edu/.

This document describes an open source electronic resource management system called CORAL-Licensing that is being used at the University of Notre Dame libraries. It summarizes the key features and functionality of CORAL-Licensing, including its ability to store, search, and compare license agreements and provider data. Sections are dedicated to describing how license records, organizations, and terms are managed in the system.

Building on the NASIG Core Competencies to support electronic resources management best practices as well as electronic resources lifecycle and management, this panel will explore in-depth, innovative approaches to electronic resources management at institutions that utilize the open source CORAL ERMS. Panelists will present different aspects of electronic resource management with attention to how CORAL supports those processes at their institutions. Collectively they tell the story of how an open source, community managed system can be used in flexible, extensible, and innovative ways. We hope this session will inspire and help others still struggling to find solutions for their electronic resources management. Aspects to be discussed will include: -Workflow support (completing all steps of the e-resource lifecycle) -Usage statistics management and reporting -ERMS metadata as embedded, automated source for discovery services (website a-z list, etc.) -ERM documentation ...and more *The presentation slides of the three presenters are posted separately on SlideShare.
