Her insights about the differences between next-generation and earlier catalog systems ring true across the discovery landscape, and her detailed notes on the study’s methodology should prove helpful in allowing other institutions (including Villanova) to formally assess their own installations of VuFind. However, since this study was carried out two years ago, I thought it would be helpful to provide some updates on the current state of the VuFind project.<br /><br />Some updates on the facts:<br /><br />• In 2009, four institutions listed VuFind as a primary catalog interface; in 2011, this number has increased nearly tenfold and continues to grow rapidly. VuFind has established a strong international presence, so the numbers may be higher than we realize, especially as the package gains traction in the developing world.<br />• The version of VuFind studied in the article was a “release candidate” version, 1.0RC1. The final VuFind 1.0 was released in July, 2010, and VuFind 1.1 is due in March, 2011. A new major release, VuFind 2.0, is currently in the planning stages and should drastically modernize the architecture of the package.<br /><br />Obviously, with multiple releases since the study, many new features have been added to VuFind. Here are some current VuFind features that address some of the issues brought up in the study.<br /><br />• Searching by call number.<br />• Organizing saved favorites into multiple lists.<br />• Exporting records to citation management software like RefWorks, EndNote and Zotero.<br />• Limiting searches by publication date.<br />• Snippets in search result listings to clarify why records match the search query.<br /><br />Also, while the article does briefly address this point, it is important to emphasize that there is a distinction between VuFind the generic product and VuFind installed at a particular library. The software comes with a fairly simple theme when initially installed, and it is designed to be easy to customize. No single usability study can really address the generic product, since no two instances of VuFind look alike. Obviously, most installations of VuFind share many common features, but administrators have a lot of freedom to configure things as they like, and quite a few of the VuFind installations “in the wild” are extremely distinctive and visually striking.<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time and space to provide coverage of VuFind. I hope that these notes are helpful.

Examining sample records from the OSU Knowledgebank, the author infers that the "relatively low fill rate" of "subject" and "description.abstract" fields "suggests a lack of completeness in that repository's records" (43).<br /><br />Without some additional qualification, that statement might be misleading. <br /><br />In my experience with DASH records, at least, articles in the humanities very often do not have abstracts or author- or indexing service-supplied keywords (the only keywords we accept for the dc.subject field). Thus, for those records, the fields are left blank. <br /><br />This leads me to wonder if there were more humanities articles in the OSU records than in samples from other collections. If so, disciplinary conventions around abstracting and providing keywords may account for the relative incompleteness of these fields (rather than telling us something about the diligence of OSU's DSpace contributors or those responsible for reviewing those submissions).<br /><br />Just a thought; again, very helpful paper.Thomas Dodsonhttp://osc.hul.harvard.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968157392344478794.post-88065375443565696322010-11-23T15:10:41.834-08:002010-11-23T15:10:41.834-08:00Just wanted to say this was a great article – very...Just wanted to say this was a great article – very useful tips!akamarkmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236786452102618585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968157392344478794.post-29320036121873680972010-07-17T10:07:33.438-07:002010-07-17T10:07:33.438-07:00Hmm, the ITAL preprint watermark makes the point, ...Hmm, the ITAL preprint watermark makes the point, but also makes these nearly impossible to read on-screen.

In that article he declared that the "OPAC is dead," a prophecy that has not come true, despite ongoing attempts to kill intellectual access in libraries. <br /><br />• The article pays homage to Deanna Marcum and Karen Calhoun, whom he quotes numerous times and who share his desire to eliminate library technical services and rely on full-text searching. <br /><br />• On page 93, he calls ONIX "enriched metadata." All the ONIX metadata I've seen basically just includes the title, the author's name in an uncontrolled form, and the imprint. <br /><br />• On page 94 he says, " ... users are no longer patient nor comfortable working with our clunky OPACs." I think this makes it a fair question to ask, then why do you still have an OPAC at UCSB? Especially since you declared OPACs dead three years ago? <br /><br />• A recent JISC briefing paper declared, "High-quality metadata is becoming more important for discovery of appropriate resources." Eden seems to be missing the point and suggesting that search engines are good enough for intensive research and scholarship. He even admits that he basically just used Google to research the article. <br /><br />• On page 95, he says, "The appearance of WorldCat Local (WCL) will have a tremendous impact on the disappearance of proprietary vendor OPACs." This hasn't started yet, and WCL has been out for over two years. He also fails to mention that products designed to compete with WCL have emerged, and one of WCL's big weaknesses is the low quality of its article metadata. <br /><br />• The best library/information science articles are those that describe innovative new approaches to solving the fields' biggest problems. Eden falls into the trap of merely trashing the status quo. His writing does nothing to help improve libraries and librarianship. Instead, he denigrates a library added-value function that he seems to care little about and which he appears not to understandJeffrey Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892507846112379242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968157392344478794.post-76727242480370995482010-03-22T06:27:58.215-07:002010-03-22T06:27:58.215-07:00I believe it is a valuable exercise to examine ins...I believe it is a valuable exercise to examine institutional repository records for quality metadata. However, I believe the author overlooks a few factors.<br /><br />In the "How DSpace Works" section, Ms. Kurtz goes to great lengths to explain how the fields in the submission forms are labeled and which fields are required by DSpace. It should be pointed out that these defaults can be customized by the DSpace technical administrators. Labels can be changed, field requirements can be changed, and the metadata fields on the form can be added or removed. From this article, there is no way to know if the author confirmed with the institutions if they were using the default forms, or if they had been customized in some way.<br /><br />I was also surprised by the amount of space Ms. Kurtz spends attacking the lack of contributor education. It is not practical to think that a one-time contributor is going to educate themselves about how to create metadata. According to Ms. Kurtz, the whole point of the DSpace submission process is that they don't have to. In the best-case scenario, a non-librarian's submission would be reviewed and improved by a librarian, using the standard approval steps built into the DSpace workflow. Related to this topic, toward the end of the "The repositories" section Ms. Kurtz notes that the OSU Knowledge Bank does not use a controlled vocabulary list for subject headings. I'm not surprised, since DSpace doesn't easily support controlled vocabulary use.<br /><br />Finally, I was very surprised to see the sample record from the University of New Mexico (Appendix B). It's possible, but we don't really know, that this record might hav ebeen imported from another database, explaining the strange metadata. I do not refute that something terribly wrong happened in this process, but it's difficult to make assumptions without knowing the full story about these records. Since these do not have provenance data in the record, it's difficult to say without interviewing the DSpace administrator.<br /><br />Overall, I think my biggest disagreement in the article is in the conclusion, "DSpace still relies heavily on contributor-generated data." This is completely false. It is the institution's choice whether to rely heavily on their contributors for data. At my institution, we do not rely on our contributors at all. It is our belief that libraries should not be expected to push the work of cataloging onto our DSpace contributors, just as we would not expect book authors to enter their metadata into our OPAC.<br /><br />I believe Ms. Kurtz is trying to make the point that allowing contributors to make all of the decisions about metadata input can cause more problems than it's worth. However, it would have been practical to ensure how the records examined came into being before assigning blame to the contribution process, as there are many different ways they might have entered DSpace.Alice Platt, Southern New Hampshire Universitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968157392344478794.post-55333958859730662052009-11-20T04:38:14.265-08:002009-11-20T04:38:14.265-08:00Many institutions limit access to their online inf...Many institutions limit access to their online information.

This things can't reflect in a format. There can be only some support for that when it is possible to link authority file.s I don't think we need an other RDF Format for bibliographic data it would be more efficient to work on the bibliographic ontology especially because they are reusing a lot of semantic web standards (like <a href="http://www.foaf-project.org/" rel="nofollow">FOAF</a>). We as librarians should more active look what"s happen in the web than reinventing the wheel again just for libraries.
