Title

iSchools and the Changing Profession of Librarianship

Abstract

Information Schools (iSchools) have grown from a small group of research universities in the USto nearly forty institutions worldwide in less than a decade. This presentation will examine thefundamental values and principles of librarianship in light of the dramatic and ubiquitous growthof digital data and the digitization of physical artifacts, positioning the iSchools in the context of
this transformation. Informed by changing modes of scholarly communication, it will suggest
new roles for libraries and librarians, reinterpreting traditional values in an era of big data.

Title

Sustainability of digital information: new directions for iResearch

Abstract

The term sustainability has gained much importance and attention over the past few years inevery major international and national policy document. It is now widely understood that inorder to achieve a sustainable development in any business sector we need to build systems andservices that are economically, environmentally as well as socially sustainable. Although theimportance of information for sustainable development has been recognized by several nationaland international bodies, sustainability of information systems and services has not been studied
and researched well. This presentation proposes a generic model to illustrate the issues andchallenges associated with the sustainability of digital information systems and services. Some
new and emerging research topics have been mapped onto the three pillars of sustainability ofdigital information. It produces a schematic representation of various interrelated researchchallenges that need to be addressed in order to build and manage sustainable digital information
systems and services.

iSchool and Collaborative Activities in Thailand

Abstract

The library and information science education in Thailand has been changed. The trend of theprogram curricula have been integrated and blended the knowledge in the areas of information,
information technology, management, research, to build a new generation of information
professionals educated with new knowledge and competencies that they can work in new
information environment and to meet with new demands. The library and information scienceschools have been revised their curricula and moved beyond library boundary and librarians,from library, library and information science to information science, information studies,information management, even knowledge management. The shift in the west resulted in term ofischools replacing the term of LIS. Now, they are about 41 universities have offered 44 programs
in information area, since undergraduate to doctoral level with various titles of the programs.
These programs focus on the integration of knowledge base in information, management, ICT,and social knowledge to managing the information to meet the people‘s need. The teaching andlearning activities and research have trended to be more collaboration among the ischools.
The collaboration has been taken in many forms and across the fields and universities aroundthe country and some with some foreign countries. The examples of collaborative activity which
has been developed include join research, co- supervision for thesis and dissertation, teamteaching across the areas and universities, conference and workshop and professional network.
By sharing the knowledge, resources, and expertise through the professional networking andother forms of collaboration, the information schools can expand the range of courses, training
and services they offer to ensure that all important topics are covered, to keep up to date with
developments and change in the profession, and to provide opportunities for join research which
capitalizes on their perspective areas of special interest and expertise.

Research Collaboration in Asia LIS Schools -- Experience of the Asia Library andInformation Research GroupAbstract

Regional collaboration is a feasible approach to facilitating scholarly communication. In 2008, afew Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers in Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand
initiated the workshop series of Asia Library and Information Research Group (ALIRG). The
workshop series is held in each country by turns. The specific objectives of this workshop series
are (1) to initiate and carry out regional collaborative projects; (2) to establish regional libraryand information research groups; (3) to obtain expert feedback on current research studies. This
presentation will give an overall report on the ALIRG workshop series, including motivation,current status, and achievement. According to the past experiences, suggestions on regional
collaboration will be given.

Department of Library Science at Kyushu University - a New Department for Graduate
Education and Research in Information

Abstract

Kyushu University established the Department of Library Science at the Graduate School ofIntegrated Frontier Sciences in April 2011. In the current rapidly changing information
environment, emerging issues include how to manage information and knowledge properly andhow to provide secure information access. In order to educate information professionals, ourdepartment offers integrated programs in library and information science, archival study, records
management, and information science. Our department curriculum includes theoretical,methodological, and practical elements. We also collaborate with the University Library andArchives and other related institutions. In addition, the ph.D program will be established in April
2013. In this talk, I will introduce our department and challenges and mention our future.

Title

Embedding libraries and cultural memory institutions in the Linked Data cloud

Abstract

The rise of Linked Data is transforming how libraries view their position in the world -- bothby offering new opportunities to connect with sources of information outside their walls and bypresenting the technical challenge of aligning descriptive and publication practices withSemantic Web principles. This talk will review the movement towards publishing and mapping
to vocabularies and authorities on the Web; exposing metadata using Dublin Core, RDA,FRBR, and the Library of Congress's emerging Bibframe model; and embedding the creationof metadata into new content creation workflows using technologies such as Drupal and RDFa.

Title

Engaging Scientists in Metadata Ownership: Framing the Questions

Abstract

National and international data sharing policies are impacting traditional metadata workflows.
One significant change is the means by which scientists are engaging in metadata generation.
This presentation examines ‘scientist engagement’ in metadata curation and related data-lifecycle
challenges. The presentation will draw from the Dryad Repository (http://datadryad.org/); theHelping Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Engineering project (http://ils.unc.edu/mrc/hive/), and theData Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) DataNet Preservation and Metadata Working
Group (PAMWG) activities (http://tinyurl.com/bmjsejc). These initiatives serve as a platform forframing questions and plans to support a robust data science infrastructure.

Title

Creating Metadata - Research and Development Experiences-

Abstract

Every database needs metadata to organize and retrieve their records. The speaker has been
engaged in various kinds of database constructions and experienced many problems. This
personation will pick up three data sets (bibliographic data for in-house Japanese classicalmaterials, full text data for Japanese classical anthologies, and data transfer hub-data for healthexaminations), and explain the cause of problems and solutions. The speaker expects that thepresentation and experiences will give good hints to those who have a plan to create databases.

User generated information to resource descriptions

Abstract

Social tagging systems allow users to engage in creating resource descriptions on various typesof resources. Research on user generated tags showed that tags represent subjects of the content
and types of the resource. Moreover, when user generated tags describe subjects of the content ortypes of resources, they describe resources better. When further analysis is made, it was foundthat subject tags include specific information such as person, concepts, place, etc. This
presentation will discuss the potential value of the information users produce for resource
discovery and organization, and the potential for associating user generated information withexpert generated resource description.
