Are you new to managing digital collections? Need a refresher? Or are you well into a digital project and want to confirm you are on the right track? The Digital Directions program offers two and a half days of focused instruction on creating and managing digital collections. You will come away with an understanding of concepts and processes, as well as the language you need to make a case for a digitization project or a fundraising initiative at your institution. PAST DIGITAL DIRECTIONS PARTICIPANTS COMMENT: - Most valuable for me: Making connections with colleagues doing similar work; learning about recently developed standards, best practices, and recommendations; learning about digital project tools (especially application-agnostic general purpose tools), and hearing about case studies, especially lessons learned. - Very useful that the presentations work for participants in the "real world" where resources and time are limiting. I work within a limited horizon - you hit the sweet spot of needs / practical options. - Attending the conference reinforced guiding principles and policies for past and current work and provided current best practices and standards. This will help update our vocabulary in doing program advocacy and fundraising. COMPLETE INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION: http://bit.ly/DigDir15 QUESTIONS?

This technical report proposes and describes a method of exchanging COUNTER statistics ranging from usage for a single article to a complete COUNTER report, using commonly used approaches to web services. The SUSHI-Lite technical report does not replace the SUSHI standard but rather supplements it with an alternative approach for requesting and exchanging usage. "Librarians and publishers are well aware of how critical the SUSHI standard is for communicating measurement of electronic resources," states Oliver Pesch, Chief Product Strategist, EBSCO Information Services and co-chair of the SUSHI-Lite Working Group. "However, since SUSHI was originally published by NISO in 2007, there have been numerous changes to the online environments in which we work, such as alternative metrics, the COUNTER Journal Usage Factor, and the rise of institutional repositories and the need to measure their use. There is a need for more lightweight technologies to allow smaller sets of usage to be exchanged in real-time, and the technologies and approaches described in the SUSHI-Lite technical report can support these newer requirements. We anticipate that in time and with further practical experiences applied to it, the SUSHI-Lite protocol will become part of ANSI/NISO Z39.93, the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) Protocol.? "SUSHI-Lite supports modern, commonly used approaches to web services, such as RESTful interfaces and JSON data formats," adds Paul Needham, Research and Innovation Manager, Cranfield University and co-chair of the SUSHI-Lite Working Group. "This optional implementation of SUSHI using current-day practices also includes mechanisms for including additional filters and report attributes which support limits of scope for data and further controls for format and completeness of data in returned sets. We think that ultimately, the SUSHI-Lite protocol is much easier to implement and will help ensure acceptance of SUSHI and COUNTER by the mainstream web development community." "NISO is soliciting users and feedback on this draft Technical Report from any organization that uses SUSHI or would like to apply it to their data transmission project," states Nettie Lagace, NISO Associate Director for Programs. "This feedback will be used to make any needed revisions to the document before final publication." The draft technical report is open for public comment through September 30, 2015.

There are, of course, a host of logistics to be considered when deciding to organize or support a MOOC. Diminished library budgets and staffing levels challenge libraries both monetarily and administratively. Marketing the course, mounting it on a site, securing copyright permissions and negotiating licensing for course materials, managing the course while in progress and troubleshooting technical problems add to the issues that have caused some libraries to hesitate in joining the MOOC movement. On the other hand, partnerships such as that between Georgetown University and edX , itself an initiative of Harvard and MIT, allow a pooling of resources thereby easing the burden on any one library. In some cases price breaks for certain course materials used in MOOCs can help draw students to the course, though the pricing must still be negotiated by the course organizer. A successful MOOC, such as the RootsMOOC , created by the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University and the State Library of North Carolina, can bring awareness of library resources to a broad audience. In the end, libraries must ask whether the advantages of participating in a MOOC outweigh the challenges. The speakers for this webinar will consider these issues surrounding MOOCs and libraries and try to answer the question of whether the impact of libraries on MOOCs has been realized or is still brewing. Confirmed topics and speakers are: - *MOOCS: Assessing the Landscape and Trends of Open Online Learning *? *Heather Ruland Staines, Director Publisher and Content Strategy, ProQuest SIPX* - *The RootsMOOC Project or, That Time we threw a Genealogy Party and 4,000 People showed up* ? *Kyle Denlinger, eLearning Librarian, Wake Forest University Z. Smith Reynolds Library and Rebecca Hyman, Reference and Outreach Librarian, Government and Heritage Library, State Library of North Carolina* *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on August 12, 2015 (the day of the webinar).
