White Paper on Interoperability between Acquisitions Modules of Integrated Library Systems and Electronic Resource Management Systems: un document de la DLF (Digital Library Federation).

"The following white paper investigates interoperability between the acquisitions modules of integrated library systems (ILS) and electronic resource management systems (ERMS). The first section of the paper features four case studies: UCLA, Cornell University, the Tri-College Consortium of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, & Swarthmore Colleges, and the Library of Congress. Each case highlights the library’s institutional environment, consortium considerations, systems architecture (ILS, ERMS, and link resolver), and electronic resource workflows."

Sélection subjective de quelques articles parus dans le dernier n° de D-Lib (mai-juin 07, vol. 13, n° 5-6):

> A Challenge for the Library Acquisition Budget
"Libraries have traditionally heavily supported researchers as readers, but they have not done the same for researchers as authors. It is desirable for the future of libraries, and for the future of research in their institutions, that libraries become engaged in this crucial step in the research process."

> Digital Preservation Service Provider Models for Institutional Repositories: Towards Distributed Services
"Repositories and providers can shape preservation services at different cost levels that could range from comprehensive 'black-box' preservation to pick-and-mix lightweight Web-based services that build on the common starting point, format identification. This article describes the evolution of a series of models that have informed progress towards this conception of flexible and distributed preservation services for IRs."

> Type-consistent Digital Objects
"In this article, we provide an overview of the DOPs framework, we highlight its type-conformance capabilities and we show how heterogeneous digital material can be treated in a uniform manner without resorting to custom developments."

> Using Wikipedia to Extend Digital Collections
"This article will describe the UW Libraries Digital Collections and the phenomenon known as Wikipedia. We will also describe the process of adding links to Wikipedia articles as well as the outcomes from the University of Washington Libraries project."

> Tea for Two: Bringing Informal Communication to Repositories
"Although informal communication has always been a part of scholarly communication, its value as an important means for sharing perceptions and knowledge has not always been recognized or properly put to good use. Three add-ons for the DSpace platform have been developed under the "DSpace Dev@University of Minho" project. The next natural step is to further develop and integrate the features of these add-ons into a new cross-repository service that allows knowledge to be transferred across communities in a broader and improved way and to provide better means to access comprehensive information about communication relationships between scholarly entities."

> Ten Major Issues in Providing a Repository Service in Australian Universities
"By mid 2006, all Australian universities had established, or were partway to establishing, institutional repository services. The development of institutional repository services can often be related to the open access movement, which seeks to make valued research outputs openly available by encouraging academics to place their publications into repositories, enhancing their availability and bypassing the high cost of journal subscriptions. However, many universities have extended the functionality of their repository services for other purposes, such as giving scholars the opportunity to develop their own research portfolio, providing a means of improving research reporting, establishing an electronic publishing service, or giving access to collections of images or other research outputs. The potential for development seems endless."
