This article describes the design and development of an interoperable application that supports green open access with long-term sustainability and improved user experience of article deposit. The lack of library resources and the unfriendly repository user interface are two significant barriers that hinder green open access. Tasked to implement the...
Three library faculty at Oregon State University (OSU), a research intensive university, created the Data Sharing Wizard (the Wizard), a Scenario-Based, online, interactive learning tool that helps students learn about the sharing of research datasets with a focus on intellectual property and decision making. Using the Wizard, students are able...
Institutional repositories provide open access to the scholarship and creative works of institutions of higher education throughout the world, most often in the form of faculty-authored journal article post-prints and graduate-level theses and dissertations.The authors share the results of a ten question survey of primary contacts at Oregon State University...
Who owns a dataset? Who gets to make decisions about a dataset? Librarians in a public research university developed a Data Usage Wizard, an open source tool that aims to engage students in learning about copyright in the context of decision making related to research datasets. Using the Wizard, students...
This proposal describes the design and development of an interoperable application that supports green open access with long-term sustainability and improves user experience of deposit for institutional repository. Background: Ineffective marketing and the lack of author participation are the most significant barriers that hinder green open access. Introduction: Oregon State...
Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) committed in its 2012-2017 strategic plan to the long term maintenance and preservation of digital content. OSULP manages digital objects in two Samvera repositories: the ScholarsArchive@OSU institutional repository, regularly ranked in the top ten U.S. repositories by Webometrics, and Oregon Digital, a longstanding...
Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the key building block for sensor applications, such as wireless communications and digital electronics. These applications require ADCs to have medium to high accuracy (normally from 10-14 bits) and relatively low signal bandwidth (ranging from 100Hz-150kHz). Since these applications are often powered by batteries, high power...
This study seeks to address the following questions: What are the research practices and needs of graduate students? How can new library services and features reduce the gap between graduate student needs and current IR services and features? Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with eight graduate students from different disciplines....
