February 2012
Just last week, the NISO staff-along with a significant number of our
community members-returned from a productive trip to Dallas for the
Midwinter meeting of the American Library Association. Every ALA conference
is a whirlwind of meetings, receptions, and presentations. NISO and our
activities were prominent in a variety of forums and programs, but there
were also some other important initiatives that were launched or reported on
during the meeting that you all should be aware of.
Among the interesting activities worth reflecting on during ALA was the
report of the Library of Congress' Bibliographic Framework project. A good
summary of the meeting is included in a
<http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/01/shows-events/library-of-congress-offic
ials-say-marc-transition-implementation-of-rda-on-track/> Library Journal
article. The need to transition away from the old-faithful MARC standards is
well documented. I was pleased to hear of LC's commitment to engage a broad
range of stakeholders in their process. More importantly, there seems to be
an understanding at LC that the future of bibliographic information includes
a significantly broader community than LC's internal processes. LC's
leadership acknowledges the need for all the relevant players to be engaged.
I had written about this in November's
<http://www.niso.org/publications/newsline/2011/newslinenov2011.html>
Newsline introduction. Now it is time for everyone to step up and engage,
hopefully through neutral third-party forums like NISO or ISO, if not
directly through LC. I am certain we will be talking regularly about this
over the coming months and years.
During the ALA meeting, NISO also held its Annual Members meeting and
update. After a challenging few years, NISO and the community as a whole
seemed to turn a corner in 2011. During the past year, NISO had more than 20
projects underway, with several grant initiatives launched, and the solid
support of our membership. I encourage you all to take a look at the reports
from the meeting, which are available on the NISO at ALA Midwinter
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/alamid2012/> 2012 webpage.
Another initiative worth following is the LITA
<https://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/lita/involve/igs/industry/lit-igven.cfm>
Technology and Industry Interest Group, which held its inaugural meeting at
Midwinter. Matt Goldner (OCLC) and Marshall Breeding (Vanderbilt University)
lead this newly formed group that was formed to help foster better dialogue
between systems suppliers and the library community, and to encourage best
practices for systems design and implementation. NISO participated in the
meeting and will continue to support their work as we believe there cannot
be too many opportunities to build better collaboration between systems
suppliers and their customers. The group is still discussing its short-term
objectives and will be working on a white paper that outlines opportunities
and project ideas to focus on. That paper is due out by the ALA annual
meeting in Anaheim.
As new work is beginning, several projects are coming to completion at NISO.
I am so pleased to say that over the past few weeks, two project teams have
finished their work, while two others have issued a draft for public
comment.
Published just before midwinter was a Recommended Practice on the Physical
Delivery of Library Materials. This project focuses attention on the very
real challenges of circulating physical items within and between library
systems. Despite the intense attention given to electronic resource systems,
digital data, and e-books, libraries still contain stores of vast
collections of physical items, many of which are in high demand and
circulate frequently. This work will hopefully draw some attention to
improving the process libraries use to distribute those items.
The second project, which I am pleased to announce was published today, is
the report of the NISO Electronic Resource Management (ERM) Data Standards
and Best Practices Project. Making Good on the Promise of ERM: A Standards
and Best Practices Discussion Paper analyzes the existing standards
environment as it relates to ERM and identifies next steps that should be
taken for standardization of ERM systems.
A revision of SERU: A Shared Electronic Resource Understanding was released
as a draft for public comment. The changes in the SERU Recommended Practice
will better extend the use of SERU to e-books. SERU is used as a simpler,
cost-effective alternative to negotiated licenses.
Finally, the first part of the NISO/NFAIS <> Journal Article Supplemental
Materials project has been released for public comment. This project
examines the challenges posed by the inclusion of additional materials and
content along with journal articles. The released draft focuses on
definitions and publishers' business processes for these supplemental
materials. A second group focused on the technical details of supplemental
materials is still working on their draft, which should be available later
this spring.
We are certainly starting off 2012 with a flurry of announcements and
activity. As I noted, NISO is a very busy place at the moment and many more
announcements and publications are forthcoming this year. I'd like to take a
moment to recognize our members and the many volunteers who support all of
this work. Many thanks are also due to the chairs and working group
participants who have diligently contributed to these projects-as well as
those still involved in active projects. Without them, the consensus process
for our standards and best practices could not move forward. To all of you
who engage, thank you!

February Webinar: Embracing the Cloud: Real Life Examples of Library Cloud
Implementations
Cloud computing, a concept that has leapt onto the scene in the last few
years, is available to libraries in the form of hosted systems for an ILS or
for e-resource access. These systems take advantage of cheaper computing
power, increased availability of services such as Amazon Web Services, and
new development strategies from library vendors. What does moving library
information to a networked environment do to improve the overall management
of the system? How can libraries leverage cloud-hosted and managed
collections? Are there tradeoffs in terms of local control? Learn the
answers to these and related issues at NISO's February 8 webinar, Embracing
the Cloud: Real Life Examples of Library Cloud Implementation, where
speakers will share the experiences of libraries that are using the cloud.
Topics and speakers are:
* The Cloud and Libraries - Erik Mitchell, Assistant Professor, School of
Information Studies, University of Maryland College Park
* Pepperdine University Libraries' Move to the Cloud - Michael Dula,
Director for Digital Initiatives & Technology Strategy, Pepperdine
University Libraries
* The Cloud Experience at a Public Library Consortium - Charlene McGuire,
Technology Consultant, Southwest Kansas Library System
Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm
Eastern on February 8, 2012. Discounts are available for NISO and NASIG

February NISO/DCMI Webinar: Taking Library Data From Here to There
Libraries have been creating metadata for resources for well over a century.
The good news is that library metadata is rules-based and that the library
cataloging community has built up a wealth of knowledge about publications,
their qualities, and the users who seek them. The bad news is that library
practices were fixed long before computers would be used to store and
retrieve the data. Library cataloging practice continues to have elements of
the era of printed catalogs and alphabetized cards and needs to modernize to
take advantage of new information technologies. This metadata, however,
exists today in tens of thousands of databases and there is a large sigh
heard around the world whenever a librarian considers the need to make this
massive change.
The NISO/DCMI February 22 webinar, Taking Library Data From Here to There,
will give an introduction to the types of changes that are needed as well as
the value that can be realized in library services. Attendees will learn of
some preparatory steps that have already been taken, which should confirm
that libraries have indeed begun the journey "From Here to There."
Speakers:
* Karen Coyle is a librarian specializing in metadata development, with a
particular interest in the future of bibliographic control. She recently
served on the W3C Incubator Group on Library Linked Data, and has written
three Library Technology Reports on the Semantic Web and library data.
* Thomas Baker, Chief Information Officer of the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative, was recently co-chair of the W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working
Group and currently co-chairs a W3C Incubator Group on Library Linked Data.
Registration is per site (access for one computer) with discounts available
for NISO and DCMI members and students. Register for all four 2012 NISO/DCMI
webinars for the price of three. Registrants receive access to the recorded
archive for one year. For more information and to register, visit the event

Updated Draft of SERU: A Shared Electronic Resource Understanding Released
for Public Comment
A draft update of SERU: A Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (NISO
RP-7-201x) has been issued for public comment through February 19, 2012.
SERU offers publishers and libraries the opportunity to save both the time
and the costs associated with a negotiated and signed license agreement for
e-resources by both content provider and customer agreeing to operate within
a framework of shared understanding and good faith. The SERU framework
provides a set of common understandings for parties to reference as an
alternative to a formal license when conducting business.
When SERU was adopted as a NISO Recommended Practice in 2008, its focus was
on e-journal transactions, and the parties involved were primarily libraries
and publishers. Since then, with the many emerging models for acquisition of
e-books, both libraries and e-book providers have requested that other types
of electronic resources be incorporated into the SERU framework. This
updated version of SERU recognizes both the importance of making SERU more
flexible for those who want to expand its use beyond e-journals and the fact
that consensus for other types of e-resource transactions are not as
well-established as they are for e-journals. In those instances where there
is as yet no standard expectation, a shared understanding may still be
achieved if expectations are clearly articulated in the purchase order that
accompanies SERU.
The draft updated SERU Recommended Practice and an online comment form are
available from the NISO SERU workroom <http://www.niso.org/workrooms/seru/>
. All parties involved in licensing electronic content are encouraged to
review and comment on the document.
NISO and NFAIS Issue Draft for Public Comment of Recommended Practice on
Supplemental Materials for Journal Articles
NISO and NFAIS have issued a new Recommended Practice, Online Supplemental
Journal Article Materials, Part A: Business Policies and Practices (NISO
RP-15-201x), for public comment until February 29, 2012. Although
supplemental materials are increasingly being added to journal articles,
there is no recognized set of practices to guide in the selection, delivery,
discovery, or preservation of these materials. To address this gap, NISO and
NFAIS jointly sponsored a working group to establish best practices that
would provide guidance to publishers and authors for management of
supplemental materials and would solve related problems for librarians,
abstracting and indexing services, and repository administrators.
The Supplemental Materials project has two groups working in tandem: one to
address business practices and one to focus on technical issues. The draft
currently available for comment includes the recommendations from the
Business Working Group across a wide spectrum of processes from selecting
and editing supplemental material to hosting, referencing, metadata, and
preservation.
Recommended Practice on Online Supplemental Journal Article Materials, Part
A: Business Policies and Practices is available for download from the NISO
Supplemental Materials <http://www.niso.org/workrooms/supplemental>
workroom. Publishers, authors, librarians, abstracting and indexing
services, and repository administrators are all encouraged to review and
comment on this draft.
NISO Publishes New Recommended Practice on Physical Delivery of Library
Resources
A new recommended practice, Physical Delivery of Library Resources (NISO
RP-12-2012), has been published by NISO. The physical delivery of library
materials is an integral component of the library resource sharing process.
Despite the ever-increasing availability of electronic journals, e-books,
and other digital resources, the movement of physical items remains a major
concern and a major cost for many libraries. In one state, borrowing of
returnable items increased by 107.4% in six years. A recent study showed
that the average academic library spends more than $6,800/year for delivery
services, with some libraries paying as high as $60,000. Given such volumes,
libraries are struggling to deal with the labor and equipment costs,
material wear and tear, and transit and sorting needs.
Physical Delivery of Library Resources focuses on three key areas: the
physical move, automation, and the management of physical delivery. While
the scope of the document is limited to the external delivery of items
between separately administered libraries, many of the recommendations could
apply as wellt o delivery between branches of a single library system.
Ranging from labeling and containers to automation and contracting with
courier services, this Recommended Practice addresses both the lending and
the borrowing library's activities related to delivering and returning a
physical item.
Physical Delivery of Library Resources is available for free download from
the NISO website <http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/rp-12-2012> . All
libraries involved in resource sharing, as well as delivery, sorting,
courier and transportation service providers, are encouraged to adopt these
recommendations.
White Paper on the Future Standardization Needs for Electronic Resource
Management Systems
A new whitepaper, Making Good on the Promise of ERM: A Standards and Best
Practices Discussion Paper, is now available from NISO. This publication is
the outcome of the NISO Electronic Resource Management (ERM) Data Standards
and Best Practices Project, a successor to the Digital Library Federation's
Electronic Resources Management Initiative (ERMI). The project's primary
goals were to perform a "gap analysis" of standards and best practices and
make recommendations on the future of the ERMI Data Dictionary.
The standards review and findings focus on five categories: link resolvers
and knowledge bases; the work, manifestations, and access points; cost and
usage-related data; license terms; and data exchange using institutional
identifiers-with a more extensive review of fourteen of the most relevant
standards. Data elements for these standards were mapped to the elements
defined in the ERMI report. Also discussed is how ERM systems could improve
their workflow support. A detailed workflow best practices bibliography and
a list of illustrative workflow diagrams are provided.
Making Good on the Promise of ERM is available for free download from the
NISO website <http://www.niso.org/publications/white_papers/> .
Tim Jewell, Chair of the ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review
Steering Committee, and other committee members will review the white paper
and their recommendations at an Open Teleconference Call on Monday, February
13 from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. (EST). The call is free and anyone is welcome to
participate in the conversation. Just call 877-375-2160 and when prompted
enter the code: 17800743#.
KBART Survey on E-Holdings Metadata Closes on February 3
The Knowledge Bases And Related Tools (KBART) project would like to hear
from colleagues working with e-holdings metadata both in libraries and for
consortia. What improvements do you seek in the representation of consortia
specific packages and holdings within link resolver knowledge bases? How
much effort do you spend locally on managing this metadata at present? Are
you frustrated by the lack of representation of free and open access content
from publishers alongside subscription content in your link resolver?
A short, less than 10 minute, online survey
<http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LXKJGWY> is open until the end of the day on
February 3, 2012.

What's In Store for the Library Automation Industry in 2012?
Smart Libraries Newsletter, January 10, 2012; by Marshall Breeding
The author shares his predictions on trends in library automation for 2012.
It will be the beginning of a decade-long development in the next generation
of library systems, including expected releases of Ex Libris' Alma,
Innovative Interfaces' Sierra, and Serials Solutions Web-Scale Management
Solution. OCLC has rebranded the WorldShare Management System, which should
see further adoptions in 2012. Open systems Koha and Evergreen will also see
increased adoption especially by several consortia. Additional
consolidations among vendors are expected, along with some divestitures, but
no business failures are anticipated. Mobile use for library applications
will continue to grow but not be as innovative as in other application
areas. Near-field communications will have some experimentation, likely for
patron self-service. QR codes, while of interest, will not replace barcodes
or RFID. While RFID will gain momentum, nothing radically new with this
technology is anticipated. New library automation projects will frequently
use cloud computing and existing implementations will increasingly
transition to the cloud. Along with this transition, the financial side will
be changing to an annual subscription model. Library e-book lending is at a
critical crossroads and both new models and new players in this area are
expected in 2012. (Link to Web Source

Tablet and E-book Reader Ownership Nearly Double Over the Holiday
Gift-Giving Period
Pew Internet & American Life Project Report, Jan 23, 2012; by Lee Rainie
Almost a third of Americans now own an e-reader of tablet computer, nearly
double the number before the 2011 holiday season. Lower pricing on the
Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet, along with e- readers
below $100, likely drove the increases. In 2010, adult males were a couple
percentage points ahead of female ownership of tablet computers; now they
are equally at 19%. Hispanic and African American ownership of tablets are
both 2% higher than by Whites. Highest jumps in tablet ownership were by
those with college education and higher, households with income above
$75,000, and those under age 50. E-readers are 5% higher in ownership by
females (over males). Hispanics are 1% higher, and African Americans 2%
higher than Whites in owning e-readers. The gap in ownership based on
education and income level is less significant for e-readers than for
tablets. These recent surveys are part of an ongoing project to "to
understand how people consume media (text, video, and audio) on the devices,
how people use them to access the internet, and how mobile connectivity has
affected users." (Link to Web Source

Threats to Digital Lending
American Libraries, 01/12/2012; by Carrie Russell
Kansas Digital Library Consortium was told by Overdrive that their e-book
titles could not be transferred to another distributor because they were
only leased. When the Kansas attorney general determined that the library
did own the e-books, Kansas State Librarian Joanne Budler began negotiating
those ownership rights with each rights holder. E-resource licenses
typically over-ride the right of first sale (to lend, rent, or dispose of
the acquired item) that applied in the print world. Some publishers are
including in their licenses such restrictions as limiting the number of
e-book loans, delaying access to high-demand titles in e-book format, or not
selling their e- books to libraries. As these practices and stricter license
terms continue, libraries may be unable to lend e-books at all or be
forbidden to preserve or provide interlibrary loans of e-content. Rights
holders are demanding even more restrictive DRM technologies to reduce
piracy and some want royalties every time an e-book is loaned. Some academic
libraries have been successful in negotiating perpetual access. However,
these types of agreements have largely been where the library's institution
is the primary market for the material, e.g., educational materials. Where
libraries are not a significant market player, e.g. trade and popular
titles, publishers and distributors see less value in working with libraries
to allow lending. Extending the copyright law to give first sale rights to
digital content is unlikely to occur and was already tabled during
discussions on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Libraries can act now
by negotiating better contracts; learning from each other, especially across
library types; and gathering and demanding better data. While searching for
solutions, libraries need to understand the concerns of rights holders and
publishers, who have many issues of their own when it comes to e-content.
Libraries could consider working directly with the rights holders to develop
new business models. The success of the public library of the future will
depend on finding solutions to e-book ownership and lending. (Link to Web

As information overload has reached a stage of "infobesity," content
providers are looking to better user experiences (UX) to attract users to
content. Dow Jones' Factiva platform is using customized personas based on
user interaction, not a user descriptive profile. Gale conducts user testing
during development to better deliver products the way users want. Ingram
Content Group as a middleman is well-positioned to obtain direct user
feedback and share that with publishers. Newstex delivers its content via
XML so it can easily be customized for distributor-specific apps. Delivering
content to mobile devices presents new challenges in how the content will
appear. Ingram has adopted the EPUB format so that users can have the same
level of quality-reading regardless of device. Factiva is focusing on
flexibility and standardization and Newstex also ensures that apps developed
by clients meet certain standards. Users have become more demanding about
both the content sources and their delivery appearance. Customizing content
for individual needs is also increasing in availability. Gale's Business
Insights: Global lets users manipulate the underlying data to, for example,
do side-by-side industry comparisons. Factiva lets users filter the
available sources of information. Newstex, Factiva, and Gale are all looking
at ways to improve the search capabilities. Infotrieve, a content aggregator
and distributor, saw apps as a game changer and is rolling out a number of
app innovations in 2012. The goal is to make apps for mobile and tablet
devices as rich an experience as users had on desktops and laptops. (Link to
