what does a newcomer Digital Librarian need to know exploring information seeking behavior of newcomer Digital Librarians in academic libraries during organizational entry
3rd Electronic edition of the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Ming Hsin ChiuAbstract:Digital Librarianship, as a newly-created interdisciplinary specialization within Librarianship, does not have a strong support for newcomer organizational socialization as the specialization itself is still evolving. This exploratory study, as one part of my dissertation, investigates the organizational socialization processes of newcomer Digital Librarians in ARL academic libraries. Following the well-developed procedures of Dervin's Sense-Making approach, this study focuses on the proactive, user-centered information seeking practices and processes during organizational entry. Specifically, the study investigates four dimensions of organizational socialization sense-making, including (1) situation: organizational situations that lead to needs for socialization information seeking; (2) gap: questions and confusions newcomer Digital Librarians have in situations in which information needs arise; (3) bridge: information seeking tactics that Digital Librarians use to acquire socialization information; and (4) outcome: positive and negative outcomes of socialization information acquisition.

personal Digital Librarian an adaptive system built on the ontology based framework
Computational Intelligence for Modelling Control and Automation, 2005Co-Authors: Daisuke Kanjo, K Kawai, Katsumi TanakaAbstract:Adaptivity and context awareness are becoming more important in recent Web systems. We developed a prototype adaptive system called the "Personal Digital Librarian" (PDL). The PDL is a book recommendation and management system. The PDL user can obtain information on books appropriate to the user's interests. In addition, we have also improved the PDL to deliver book information appropriate to the context. Generally, the information that the user wants is different according to the context, such as location, time, etc. The PDL is built on a framework called "adaptation anywhere & anytime framework" (A3). The A3 provides systems, including the PDL, with adaptable functions

the Digital Librarian
New Library World, 2014Co-Authors: Bruce E MassisAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the two basic skills necessary for today’s Librarian to be successful in a library environment where technology and copyright are evolving and thus changing the manner by which a transition from print resources to Digital can be successfully implemented. Design/methodology/approach – Literature review and commentary on this topic that has been addressed by professionals, researchers and practitioners. Findings – A combination of technology skills and an understanding of Digital copyright issues are strengths that, for today’s Librarians, are less unique and more typical components of a Librarian’s skill set. Originality/value – The value in addressing this issue is to highlight the background that today’s Librarian must bring to the profession in a highly digitized and more legally determined library environment.

The role of a DigitalLibrarian in themanagement of Digitalinformation systems(DIS)
2020Co-Authors: V SreenivasuluAbstract:Stresses that the multimedia nature of the next generation of Digital libraries requires the Digital Librarians (DL) to be essentially a type of specialist Librarian who has to manage and organize the Digital library, handle the specialized tasks of massive digitization, storage, access, Digital knowledge mining, Digital reference services, electronic information services, search co-ordination, and manage the archive and its access. The Digital Librarian acts as guardian of the information superhighway/the universal Digital library or the global Digital library and acts as a symbiotic human-machine guru. This article also highlights the roles and functions of a DL in information retrieval, content delivery, navigation, and browsing. It envisages the professional education and training for Digital Librarians in the management of Digital information systems. It denotes the DL's interface functions, roles, skills and competencies for the management of Digital information systems in the important areas of imaging technologies, optical character recognition, markup languages, cataloguing, metadata, multimedia indexing and database technology, user interface design, programming, and Web technology. This paper finally advocates and targets the task of creating a new job title ± Digital Librarian ± to take care of Digital libraries and to manage the Digital information system

conservation libraries data curation from custos catalogi to Digital Librarian the case of ambrosian library
JLIS.it, 2019Co-Authors: Fabio CusimanoAbstract:The massive projection of information contents in the Digital world and the ever-increasing pervasiveness and ubiquity of web-based resources are unstoppable phenomena that force a careful reflection on the role that public libraries and conservation libraries play in the traditional cultural scene; on how they are perceived by users; on how they are solicited by the Digital world and how they adapt (or at least try to do so) to change towards this aspect. The concept of public library can certainly be considered as one of the most disruptive cultural innovations of the modern era: this innovation has profoundly marked the development of our society up to the present day, helping to shape its forma mentis and gradually becoming more and more “transparent” because now considered “normal”; however, there are many pitfalls and difficulties that our society ‒ hyper-connected and bulimic in the spasmodic search for accessible contents in Digital ‒ puts forward the public library, even more, if it corresponds to the particular meaning of the conservation library. The public library and the conservation library are very often faces of the same coin, souls of the same institution, face the challenge of the Digital dimension.

biblioteche di conservazione data curation dal custos catalogi al Digital Librarian il caso della veneranda biblioteca ambrosiana

La biblioteca pubblica e la biblioteca di conservazione, molto spesso facce di una stessa medaglia, anime di una medesima istituzione, si trovano dinanzi alla sfida della dimensione Digitale.
