July 2012
Just prior to the ALA Annual conference, NISO announced that its membership
decided to launch a new initiative to develop recommended practices for the
Demand-Driven
<http://www.niso.org/news/pr/view?item_key=c159438bba2d660a0da2b2359ce62a8d7
0cbc590> Acquisition (DDA) of Monographs. A DDA project requires a number of
implementation decisions, procedures, and business processes to work
effectively. NISO's goal with this initiative is to draw together the
community experience in the various pilots and tests of demand-driven
acquisitions that have been undertaken and publicly described. More
information about the project and the working group that NISO is standing up
is available by contacting
<mailto:nisohq at niso.org?subject=Interested%20in%20more%20information%20about
%20the%20new%20DDA%20project> the NISO office.
For the publishing community, the variety of DDA initiatives could be as
much of a boon as a threat, presuming that they are prepared for the new
discovery environment. As Joe
<http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/author/jesposito/> Esposito wrote in his
Scholarly
<http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2012/06/12/the-problem-of-discovery-for-
patron-driven-acquisitions-pda/> Kitchen post on patron driven acquisitions,
the ability of publishers to succeed in a demand-driven environment is
dependent on the publisher's ability "to create high-quality and extensive
metadata and see that it gets distributed to discovery services." The only
way to discover a book online is via the metadata publishers distribute. As
library patrons and book purchasers increasingly move to online discovery
and book-buying or borrowing, publishers and libraries need to deeply
integrate such metadata support into their work. There are a number of
industry initiatives underway to improve the quality of metadata streams,
including the 2009 report that NISO produced with the support of OCLC on the
book
<http://www.niso.org/publications/white_papers/StreamlineBookMetadataWorkflo
wWhitePaper.pdf> metadata workflow, the NISO/UKSG KBART initiative
<http://www.niso.org/workrooms/kbart> , and the BISG
<http://www.bisg.org/what-we-do-3-4-product-data-certification-program.php>
metadata quality certification project among others.
While many of us (myself included) are enjoying a much-needed summer break,
the fall isn't too far away with its associated pickup in activity. Not long
after the end of summer, NISO will be hosting two in-person meetings, where
I hope many of you will be able to join us. The first meeting will be held
in Denver during September on Managing
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/tracking_it_back_to_the_source/> and
Citing Research Data, and the second will be in Boston in October on the
E-book <http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/ebooks/> Renaissance. More
information about both programs is on the NISO website
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/> . We hope that many of you can join
us for at least one of these two events. We'll also be picking up the NISO
educational programs in August after a summer break, with two webinars (see
stories below).
We are also pleased to welcome three new NISO members this month: the
University of Michigan Library, Florida Atlantic University, and Cornell
University Library. Several other libraries are expected to join in the near
future. Part of the impetus for the influx of Library Standards Alliance
members has been the new benefits NISO is providing. Earlier this spring,
the NISO Board of Directors expanded the LSA membership benefits to include
all 14 of NISO's 2012 <http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/nisowebinars/>
educational webinars. This is an excellent, cost-effective opportunity for
institutions to provide training to their staffs. More information about
joining NISO <http://www.niso.org/about/join/> as a voting or LSA member is
available on the NISO website.
Finally, later this month, NISO will be moving our offices to a new location
in Baltimore. (See the banner above.) We are excited about the move, but as
with any move it will include some disruption-hopefully minimal. We'll be
closing the office from July 25-27 to make the transition. Please make note
of the new physical mailing address; our phone, fax and electronic contact
information will be unchanged.
For now it is back to the lake for my family and me. I hope that all of you
have an opportunity to break away from work this summer and enjoy some time
with friends and family.
Sincerely,

NISO Launches Two New Initiatives: Standardization of SIP and Recommended
Practices for DDA of Monographs
NISO voting members have approved two new initiatives for the organization.
The first project is to formalize the 3M Standard Interchange Protocol (SIP)
as an American National Standard. Introduced in 1993, the SIP protocol
provides a mechanism for Integrated Library Systems (ILS) applications and
self-service devices to communicate seamlessly to perform self-service
transactions. This protocol quickly became a de facto standard around the
world, and remains the primary protocol to integrate ILS and self-service
devices. Since the protocol's inception, 3M has continued to produce updated
versions of it-most recently version 3.0 in late 2011. A NISO Working Group
will now shepherd SIP 3.0 through the standardization process of becoming an
American National Standard. There is close connection between SIP and NISO's
Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP) standard. With both standards
approved and maintained within NISO, there is an opportunity for the two
standards' working groups to clarify the structural differences and to
provide the community direction on the appropriateness for each standard
within a given context. This will be one of the tasks of both the new
working group and the NCIP Maintenance Agency moving forward. View the SIP
<http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/8118/SIP_workitem_for_D2
D_Ballot.doc> project proposal for more information.
The second project is to develop recommended practices for the Demand-Driven
Acquisition (DDA) of Monographs. Many libraries have embraced DDA (also
referred to as patron-driven acquisition) to present many more titles to
their patrons for potential use and purchase than would ever be feasible
under the traditional purchase model. If implemented correctly, DDA can make
it possible to purchase only what is needed, allowing libraries to spend the
same amount of money as they previously spent on monographs, but with a
higher rate of use. However, this model requires libraries to develop and
implement new procedures for adding titles to a "consideration pool", for
keeping unowned titles available for purchase for some future period, often
years after publication, for providing discovery methods of titles in the
pool, establishing rules on when a title gets purchased or only temporarily
leased, and how potential titles are discovered, and for handling of
multiple formats of a title. The new NISO initiative will develop
recommendations to address these issues, hopefully with a single set of
practices that will cover both electronic and print formats. The project
<http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/8559/DDA%20Work%20Item%2
0for%20Voting%20Member%20Approval.pdf> proposal is available for download
from the NISO website.
Working group formation for both initiatives is underway. Interested
participants should contact Nettie <mailto:nlagace at niso.org> Lagace. For
those interested in following the projects, e-mail interest group lists have
been established. For information on how to join either list, visit the NISO

NISO/DCMI August Webinar: Metadata for Managing Scientific Research Data
NISO and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) will be holding the
third of their joint webinars on August 22, 2012 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. EDT on
the topic of Metadata for Managing Scientific Research Data.
The past few years have seen increased attention to national and
international policies for data archiving and sharing. Chief motivators
include the proliferation of digital data and a growing interest in research
data and supplemental information as part of the framework for scholarly
communication. Key objectives include not only preservation of scientific
research data, but also making data accessible to verify research findings
and support the reuse and repurposing of data.
Metadata figures prominently in these undertakings, and is critical for the
success of any data repositories or archiving initiative, hence the
increased attention to metadata for scientific data-specifically for
metadata standards development and interoperability, data curation and
metadata generation processes, data identifiers, name authority control (for
scientists), linked data, ontology and vocabulary work, and data citation
standards.
This joint NISO/DCMI webinar will provide an historical perspective and an
overview of current metadata practices for managing scientific data, with
examples drawn from operational repositories and community-driven data
science initiatives. It will discuss challenges and potential solutions for
metadata generation, identifiers, name authority control, linked data, and
data citation.
Speakers are:
* Jane Greenberg, professor at the School of Information and Library
Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and
director of the SILS Metadata Research Center, is well known for research
and writing on topics ranging from automatic metadata creation to metadata
best practices, ontology research, Semantic Web, data repositories,
thesauri, and scientific data curation.
* Thomas Baker, Chief Information Officer of the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative, has recently co-chaired the W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working
Group and the W3C Incubator Group on Library Linked Data.
Registration is per site (access for one computer). Discounts are available
for NISO and DCMI members and for students. Can't make it on the live
webinar date/time? Registrants get access to the recorded version for one
year. For more information and to register, visit the event

NISO Forum: Tracking It Back to the Source: Managing and Citing Research
Data
As data creation increases exponentially across nearly all scholarly
disciplines, new roles and requirements are rising to meet the challenges in
organization, identification, description, publication, discovery, citation,
preservation, and curation to allow these materials to realize their
potential in support of data-driven, often interdisciplinary research. Join
NISO on September 24 in Denver for the in-person forum Tracking it Back to
the Source: Managing and Citing Research Data and learn about several new
initiatives to improve community practice on data citation and data
discovery.

NISO Forum: The E-Book Renaissance, Part II: Challenges and Opportunities
NISO will be following up on last year's acclaimed forum on The E-book
Renaissance with Part II on Challenges and Opportunities, a two-day forum in
Boston, MA on October 18-19, 2012.
E-books have existed in the library landscape for over a decade, but it is
only in the last few years that their use has shifted to finally become the
game-changer that all have anticipated for so long. Availability,
distribution, licensing, discoverability, current and future access, and
usage of e-books all require content providers and libraries to change many
of their existing processes and develop new ways to do business. Amidst this
confusion is a wealth of opportunities for new collaborations and
initiatives.
The NISO Forum, The E-Book Renaissance, Part II: Challenges and
Opportunities will probe the key issues surrounding e-books from a variety
of industry, library, scholarly, and consumer viewpoints. Participate in the
community discussion for advancing e-book development, distribution, and
use.
Topic and speakers include:
* Keynote Presentation - Nick Montfort, Associate Professor of Digital
Media, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
* Panel discussion: Primary and Trade Publishers' E-book Initiatives -

Data Citation Initiatives and Issues
Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology,
June/July 2012; by Matthew S. Mayernik
Although many researchers still provide textual references to their
supporting data, formal citation to an accessible data set is becoming more
common and expected. Many initiatives in various disciplines are underway to
formalize how data is cited. CODATA and the International Council for
Scientific and Technical Information created a task group on data citation
standard, which held a workshop in August 2011 and is preparing a
recommendations report. The NSF Directorate for Geosciences also held a
workshop in 2011 with a follow-up report that included recommendations for
data citation. DataCite has a rapidly growing database of registered DOIs
for datasets. Additional data citation guidelines were issue in 2011 by the
Federation for Earth Science Information Partners (U.S.) and the Digital
Curation Centre (U.K.). The underlying goal for these projects is to promote
the accessibility and re-use of data; but while many research communities
support that goal, they are less supportive of using a standard data
citation. Interest in citations has grown due to the development of
institutional repositories, existence of identifiers such as DOI that can be
used for datasets, and web-based linking technology. Both libraries and
publishers have a lot of expertise with digital collections including
identifiers and linking and can contribute their expertise to data
management. To effectively cite a dataset, a curation program to ensure the
archiving of that data must be in place. The American Geophysical Union, for
example, requires authors to only cite data sets if they are in stable
archives. Unfortunately, such archives are not yet in use for the bulk of
research data. Datasets also can be difficult to define and label, as they
can be a compilation of a number of different objects and have collaborative
authorship. Data citation is not part of the current culture of research
documentation; researchers need to be trained about when and how to cite
data. Tools need to be in place that will provide pre-formatted citations
that can be imported into citation management software. While much work
remains to be done, a robust data citation infrastructure is critical to
bringing visibility, accessibility, and usability of research data.

The Problem of Discovery for Patron-driven Acquisitions (PDA)
The Scholarly Kitchen, Jun 12, 2012; by Joseph Esposito
Book marketing by publishers is traditionally done just before and after
publication with promotional mailings and social media notices, publicity to
media, review copies, etc. As time goes on, marketing for the title slows
with some possible new promotions for such items as a paperback or movie
version. With patron-driven acquisition, however, purchases of titles can
occur over a much longer timeframe following publication and publishers need
to adapt to this new marketing challenge of how to interest library patrons
to request titles throughout this extended time. Finding a cost-effective
method for such marketing can be difficult, especially when most marketing
funds will be earmarked for new publications. To start with, available
titles have to be included in a PDA collection, well described, and easily
discovered. "Practical book discover for PDA, in other words, is largely a
matter of search-engine marketing..." Publisher and author blog posts will
bring attention to the title through web search engines that prompt the
searcher to request the item through the library's PDA program. Where
searches initiate in the library catalog, publishers need to be able to
influence what information is included, and more importantly, how the
discovery service will let a patron find the title. A test search for 1491
by Charles Mann, published by Random House, reveals thousand of holding
libraries in WorldCat, a brief description on the publisher's website, a
limited description in the Princeton University Library catalog, and the
most detailed description on Amazon. The University of Chicago Library has a
larger entry for the book than Princeton and credits Syndetics with the
provision of enriched metadata. Publishers need to actively work to improve
the metadata in library catalogs. The metadata currently provided to Bowker,
who redistributes it for a fee, should be made available to libraries for
free. Oxford University Press already provides free downloadable access to
metadata for all of its books. Improved metadata and discovery coupled with
PDA could allow publishers to offset any feared potential decrease in sales
from the PDA model.

EPUB for Archival Preservation
Open Planets Foundation [blog], June 18 2012; by Johan van der Knijff
Although EPUB has been gaining popularity and interest as a publishing
format, little attention has been given to its potential use for archival
preservation. The Library of Congress has included some information on both
version 2 and 3 of EPUB in its Sustainability of Digital Formats website.
The National Library of the Netherlands/Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) decided
to conduct its own research on the issue and has published a report, EPUB
<http://www.openplanetsfoundation.org/system/files/epubForArchivalPreservati
on18062012ExternalDistribution_0.pdf> for Archival Preservation. The report
discusses the EPUB format and functionality and describes the differences
between EPUB2 and EPUB3. Particular emphasis was placed on testing and
validating steps important to preservation processing, specifically, object
format identification and validation, and feature extraction. Tools that can
perform these functions with EPUB were evaluated including DROID, Fido, Unix
File utility, EpubCheck, and Epub-tools. Criteria used to determine
preservation suitability included ubiquity, support, and interoperability;
disclosure; documentation quality; stability; ease of identification,
validation, and feature extraction; intellectual property rights; technical
protection; transparency and complexity; external references; digital
signature authenticity; and re-usability. Although many strengths of EPUB
for preservation were noted, several concerns were identified such as
stability over time with respect to compatibility between versions, poor
support by existing characterization tools, potential use of DRM and/or
encryption that would limit extraction capability, allowable use of
incorporation by reference to externally stored content, allowable use of
media types outside the core list, and allowable use of JavaScript
resources. Final recommendations include the acceptance of EPUB 2 for
archival applications, with a number of restrictions, and future acceptance
of EPUB 3 when viewer support has improved. (Link to Web Source

Experimenting in the App Lab: Exploring Mobile Content Models
EContent, June 18, 2012; by Eileen Mullan
The ubiquity of mobile devices has presented new challenges to the
publishing industry, which was already struggling with the move from print
to digital. But the popularity and functionality of mobile apps offers new
opportunities for publishers to both distribute content and to create
brand-centric innovations. Apps also offer new models for monetizing content
on a platform where users are used to paying for everything they do,
contrasted with online web content where users have more of an expectation
of free. ABI Research found that the in-app payments model (as compared to
pay-per download, subscription, and in-app advertising) generated the
highest revenue and predicts an overall growth of $37.5 billion in 2016
(over 2011) for the combined models. Base-level apps typically range from
$500 to $10,000 to develop. Apps that are storefronts to the publisher's
content are commonly used by publishers and some even "upsell" to other apps
that provide additional uses for content. Many publishers have been using
the subscription model, especially for magazines, through the Apple store,
even though Apple takes a 30% cut. And the freemium model of allowing free
trials prior to purchasing subscriptions has seen some success. Print
magazine subscribers are often given free digital access, using easy mobile
device authentication as the leverage to add value to print.
Microtransactions (paying for incremental content in small monetary
amounts), though not yet widely in use, are a potential game-changer,
especially in a mobile environment and fits well with the publishing trend
to smaller e-singles. Instead of creating an app, publishers could release
an API to their content that third parties can use to create apps and charge
the app developer a content re-use fee. 2012 may become the year when
user-generated content takes off, especially as do-it-yourself app-building
tools become more available and the cost of entry to become a publisher and
app developer decreases. Publishers must include mobile and apps in their
digital strategy to keep pace with this growing market, push the mobile
interface and experience to their web content and users, and consider
integrating their apps with social media sites. (Link to Web Source
