  1. Integrating Libraries and Electronic Publishing The DART Project at Columbia University David Millman and Kate Wittenberg

  2. Educational Mission • To help undergraduate students gain insight into the way in which anthropologists conduct research and draw conclusions • Improve information literacy of undergraduate anthropology students through use of structured yet unfiltered digital resources

  3. E-Publishing Mission • To develop a digital library infrastructure that will store digital resources so that they can be used in flexible ways • To catalogue digital assets embedded within complex learning tools so that they can be used for broader research and/or teaching goals

  4. Case 1:The Ethnographic Imagination • The teaching module contains a digitized selection of author’s field notes and published book • Students read both sets of materials and write about the process of transforming the notes into an ethnography • Increasing understanding of how knowledge is created from data

  5. Case 2: Intro to South Asian Culture • Online syllabus that links to catalogued digital assets (primary texts, maps, photos, video) • Teacher builds class assignments around these assets (response to questions, essays on readings, and full research paper) • Increasing levels of interaction with library materials throughout the semester

  6. Digital Teaching Tools and Research Library Resources • Focus on the relationship between the “closed” world of the classroom and teaching tools, and the “open” world of the Web • Can students explore freely the vast array of research tools available through the Web, while still having an appropriate level of guidance concerning how to select and evaluate the sources that they find?

  7. Unlimited Information as Benefit or Obstacle to Learning • How do we make information meaningful to users with diverse skills and needs? • Future work will explore how to find the right balance between directed and unfiltered presentation of digital teaching and research materials in electronic publications

  8. Technology • Accommodate different styles for teaching • fall ’04 (South Asian History & Culture): web browser focus (syllabus navigation) • spring ’05 (Ethnographic Imagination): digital resource focus (primary source navigation) • fall ’05 (planning): considering mobile device in DL discovery & retrieval • Web services import/export • Access management • Metadata: “versions” revisited

  9. Syllabus web navigation

  10. User Experience course web site catalog views remote holdings local holdings

  11. Catalog View

  12. Primary Source Navigation

  13. “Link idiom” in browser

  14. Navigation “tool” in browser

  15. Primary source reference db

  16. Acquisition Digital South Asia Library DSAL @ U Chicago Publishers & Archives DART faculty Cambridge Univ Library institutional repository mapping (proposed) Tibetan-Himalayan DL thdl @ U of Virginia local workflow DSpace OAI Fedora DART catalog DART content

  17. Access METS Sakai/OKI MPEG21/DID browser html OAI JSR170 IMS/CP library & repository environments Z39.50 collaborative & learning environments openURL DART catalog DART content

  18. Access Management • bi-lateral Shibboleth “federation” with LSE • technology ok, though evolving • federation scalability challenges • process documentation • policy • legal

  19. Mobile • front-end assumptions • back-end assumptions

  20. Versions • Lots of metadata moving around • Identifiers back in the forefront? • Evolution of OAI-PMH ?

  25. Next Steps • Export to local course management system (pilot Sakai-based) • Experiment with non-html tools for content viewing / navigation • Wider discussion of versioning issues
