Full release notes are included below and are also available on the wiki: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVODOC19x/Release+Notes Downloads are available on the GitHub release page: https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO/releases/tag/rel-1.9.0 Version 1.9 of the VIVO open source software includes several significant new features that will improve the user experience and make it simpler to implement VIVO. This release was made possible by contributions from the following community members: Ariel D Moya Sequoia, IT Alkaid Consulting S.A. Stephan Zednik, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Christian Hauschke, Bibliothek der Hochschule Hannover Roberto J. Rodrigues, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Benjamin Gross, UNAVCO Chad Nelson, Temple University Library Brain Lowe, Ontocale Ted Lawless, Thomson Reuters Graham Triggs, DuraSpace Nate Prewitt, CU Boulder Jim Blake, Cornell Tim Worrall, Cornell Rebecca Younes, Cornell Huda Khan, Cornell Joe McInerney, Cornell John Fereira, Cornell Alvin Hutchison, Smithsonian Simon Porter, Digital Science / University of Melbourne Mat?j Korvas, University of Melbourne Martin Kwok, University of Melbourne Melissa Makin, University of Melbourne *Here?s what?s new:* *Capability Map* -- Matching research areas with experts just got easier To address the desire for improved expert finding features in VIVO, we are pleased to introduce a capability map. This feature allows you to search for research areas, and see the relationship between the research areas and the researchers. Initially developed at the University of Melbourne, the map has been updated to use the improved visualisation architecture introduced in VIVO 1.8.1. Results are cached in the same way as other VIVO visualizations such as the Map of Science, Co-Author visualization, and Temporal Graph. *SEO Improvements* -- Making profile pages more discoverable For better indexing and discoverability of your VIVO profiles, a sitemap generator for profiles is now included. Additionally, citation meta tags are now included on the pages of works. *AltMetrics Improvements* Following the addition of AltMetric badges to publications with DOIs in 1.8.1, the support has been expanded to cover publications with PubMed IDs or ISBNs. AltMetric badges are now displayed on the publication lists within a profile page. *Maven Project Structure* To make it easier to get started with VIVO, standard Maven project structures are now used, replacing the custom Ant scripts of previous versions. Both VIVO and Vitro have been migrated to Maven. Developers cloning the projects from GitHub, should place them in directories next to each other. *Maven Based Installer* Version 1.9 introduces an "installer" project, which will assemble the application and home directories, and copy them to your Tomcat and installation / home directories. The installer will automatically download all of the necessary dependencies - including pre-built Vitro and VIVO code - in order to complete the installation. This installer also provides a natural place for sites to add their customizations, such as a custom theme, additional Java classes in the web application or RDF in the home directory. *OpenJDK Support* The image processor for uploading and generating thumbnails has been replaced with a new library. As a result, there are no known OpenJDK incompatibilities. *Performance Improvements* Thanks to Brian Lowe, Ontocale, there are significant improvements writing data to the triple store, with an updated inferencer batching changes in memory. There are also minor improvements to graph comparison code (improving startup time for large graphs), and memory reductions for the caching of data in the visualizations. *SPARQL Editor Highlighting* The YASQE highlighting editor for SPARQL has been incorporated into the SPARQL Query page, thanks to a contribution from Ted Lawless, Thomson Reuters. *About VIVO* VIVO (http://vivoweb.org) is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of scientists and scholars.

The NLG program invests in projects that address challenges faced by the library and archive fields and generate results such as new tools, research findings, or models that can be widely used. The LB21 program supports human capital capacity projects for libraries and archives. This call for preliminary proposals has a deadline of September 1, 2016, for both programs. A separate funding opportunity for both programs will be announced in December with a deadline in February 2017. >From the preliminary proposals received in September, IMLS will select applicants and invite them to submit full proposals by January 13, 2016. Applicants who are not invited to continue from the first round of funding may submit new preliminary proposals in February. As outlined in the 2017 IMLS Congressional Justification, IMLS is especially interested in projects that address the following priorities: 1.* Community Anchors:* NLG projects that advance the role of libraries as community anchors that provide civic and cultural engagement, facilitate lifelong learning, promote digital inclusion, and support economic vitality through programming and services. LB21 projects that investigate and build the skills and knowledge of library professionals to support the role of libraries as community anchors that facilitate lifelong learning; enhance civic and cultural engagement; and support economic vitality, through programming and services. 2.* National Digital Platform:* NLG projects that create, develop, and expand the social and technical infrastructure and the open source software applications used by libraries and archives to provide digital content and services to all users in the United States. LB21 projects that increase library professionals' capacity to create, develop, and use the social and technical infrastructure and the open source software applications used by libraries and archives to provide digital content and services to all users in the United States. NDP projects bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. 3.* Curating Collections:* NLG projects that can have a significant national impact on shared services for the preservation and management of digital library collections and content across the country. LB21 projects that increase librarians' and library professionals' capacity to create, preserve, manage, and provide access to digital library collections across the country. Applicants to the LB21 program are required to align their projects with a project category, i.e., National Digital Platform, Community Anchors, or Curating Collections. Projects must also align with a project type, i.e., Pre-Professional; Masters-level and Doctoral-level Programs; Early Career Development; or Continuing Education. The Sparks! Ignition Grants for Libraries is now a funding category within the National Leadership Grants program, rather than a standalone program. Sparks grants support new tools, products, services, or organizational practices. Sparks preliminary proposals will now be accepted twice a year, instead of full proposals accepted once a year. See the grant program guidelines for more information about LB21 or NLG programs. *Getting Your Questions Answered* IMLS staff members listed on the NLG and LB21 program pages are available by phone and email to answer general questions related to the programs. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <4BB8E3E08D34034DB9A7D4F285555FB13C9F467D@X-MB4.xds.umail.utah.edu> Hi, When NASA first addressed the 2013 White House OSTP mandate it was saying they would require publications to be submitted to PubMed since there was no funding. Daureen NASA Launches Free Online Database With Research Papers, Data. The Verge [Share to Facebook] [Share to Twitter] (8/19) reported NASA announced last week that its launching a free online archive called PubSpace that will make public "research and data that are often hidden behind the subscriptions and paywalls of scientific journals." The article explains that PubSpace rose to the fore as part of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's "Open Science" initiative, which was established to enhance access to government-funded research. The Independent (UK) [Share to Facebook] [Share to Twitter] (8/20, Walker) adds that the new database is part of a "trend in the worldwide scientific community towards making knowledge more readily available." In a statement, NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan said, "Making our research data easier to access will greatly magnify the impact of our research," adding, "As scientists and engineers, we work by building upon a foundation laid by others."

URL: From ceaker at utk.edu Tue Aug 23 14:10:37 2016 From: ceaker at utk.edu (Eaker, Chris) Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 18:10:37 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Call for Chapter Proposals - Applying Library Values to Emerging Technology: Tips and Techniques for Advancing within Your Mission Message-ID: Forwarding for a colleague: We?re excited to invite you to submit chapter proposals for our forthcoming ACRL book, Applying Library Values to Emerging Technology: Tips and Techniques for Advancing within Your Mission The Book As emerging technologies become easier to use, public service information professionals of all kinds are increasingly tasked with making decisions regarding which technologies to use, promote, and provide support for. These technology-mediated exchanges can play an important role in how information, and the library, is perceived and used. This book will share perspectives on how to interpret and apply the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship in the context of emerging technologies as well highlight case studies of organizations and applications that exemplify relevant library values. It will be grounded in theory, but be made applicable to a variety of libraries by situating discussions within a framework for decision-making. Authors will retain copyright of their work, and after one year the entire book will be made available open access. Structure The book will be organized into chapters corresponding with the values identified in the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship, but individual chapters do not need to tie directly to any particular interpretation of those values (see ?Chapter Details?). Authors should consider library values in the context of emerging technology, and what the implications are for making decisions about library practice. The editors are interested in considering a wide variety of perspectives and forms of submissions in order to be relevant to a broad audience Each section will include both: ? Practical case studies of how to effectively use a particular technology in a library setting ? Theoretical models for understanding and interpreting the relevant library value (or values) in context of a relevant technology Most submissions should include at least some elements of theory and practice, but can focus on any aspect. We will also consider submissions featuring just one element (an important theoretical consideration that could impact other works, or a particularly impactful case study). Copyright Priority will be given to producing the best possible final work that is meaningful to a wide audience rather than necessarily ?original research,? so authors may reuse portions of previous works when copyright allows. If doing so, authors are expected to revise their work and provide at minimum an introduction and conclusion that fit with the theme of this volume. Chapter Details For a more context and suggested topics for each chapter visit this document: https://goo.gl/slsCNV Potential Sections Include: ? Confidentiality/Privacy & Intellectual Freedom ? Access/Democracy ? The Public Good/Social Responsibility & Education and Lifelong Learning ? Preservation ? Diversity ? Service ? Professionalism Examples of topics include: ? Libraries providing access to encryption technology ? Libraries providing training/access to technology that enables expression ? Libraries relationship to modern efforts to censor (e.g. NSA; Patriot Act; China?s firewall) ? Technology that supports Open Access ? The #ICANHAZPDF phenomenon, and technology surrounding interlibrary loan ? Licensing/copyright agreements and library values ? Preventing link-rot and related issues with archiving websites ? Issues surrounding private/public communications online (e.g. preserving e-mails, Facebook posts and other semi-public digital objects stored on private servers) ? How library interfaces impact diversity ? How library values such as professionalism and service can be embodied in technology decisions Don?t see your topic/idea here? We encourage you to contact the editors at valuesandtechnologyacrl at gmail.com to discuss how your idea may fit within this book?s scope. Proposal Guidelines and Submission Instructions A short form with an attached Word document (.doc or .docx) is required for proposal submission.
