Scanning TRAIL Project Technical Reports: A Workflow for a Large-Scale Collaborative Digitization Effort
Date: May 7, 2013
Creator: Tarver, Hannah
Description: Poster illustrating the workflow used in the University of North Texas (UNT) Digital Projects Unit to digitize large numbers of TRAIL (Technical Report and Image Library) documents. The poster outlines five stages: [1] "Inventory," in which staff account for items received and route un-cut reports for disbinding before adding them to the scanning queue, [2] "Scanning," in which regularly-sized pages are scanned on a duplex scanner and fold-out pages are scanned on flatbed or planetary scanners, [3] "Processing," in which files are deskewed, resized, compressed, rotated, etc., and quality control checks identify errors, [4] "Metadata," in which the MARC records for the reports are converted into XML and a metadata creator fills in additional fields, and [5] "Online," in which reports are publicly available on the UNT Digital Library.

Implementation of a New Date/Time Standard in Digital Library Metadata
Date: May 7, 2013
Creator: Tarver, Hannah
Description: Poster illustrating issues involved in fully-implementing the Extended Date/Time Format (EDTF) standards in the UNT Libraries' digital collections, comprising The Portal to Texas History, the UNT Digital Library, and The Gateway to Oklahoma History. The first section, "Analysis of Dates," provides statistics related to the number of valid entries among existing date instances in the system, the most common issues with non-EDTF valid dates, and the number of valid dates after simulating automated conversions for adjusting some non-valid dates. The second section illustrates the written guidelines provided for metadata creators and the embedded validation tools that alert persons entering metadata when the dates do not meet EDTF standards. The third section includes screenshots to show date normalization in the user interface, to make formatted dates more accessible, and the icon that is used when dates cannot be easily normalized, providing access to a glossary.

Don't judge a book by its Cover: The Human Library
Date: February 19, 2013
Creator: Lawrence, Samantha
Description: This poster introduces the lecture series UNT Speaks Out on the Human Library. Instead of print or electronic media, the books in this library will be human beings who have experienced prejudice due to issues such as race, gender, disability, ethnic origin, sexual preference, mental illness or lifestyle choices. The "books" at this event are people who have volunteered to challenge prejudice through respectful conversation with members of the UNT campus and the greater Denton community who borrow them for fifteen to thirty minute conversation. The Human Library concept was developed in 2000 by members of the Danish Youth Organization Stop the Violence. It is now operational in more than 60 countries.

Open Access Publishing Fees: Responses, Strategies and Emerging Best Practices
Date: February 2013
Creator: Waugh, Laura
Description: This poster discusses open access publishing fees. The open access (OA) movement has led to a rethinking and restructuring of traditional publishing funding models. A growing number of OA journals require authors to pay an article processing charge (APC) in order to have their articles published in their journal. In addition, hybrid journals (i.e. traditional, subscription-based journals), are beginning to offer the option to make an article OA if authors pay an APC. This practice of charging an additional APC in order to provide open accessibility to articles is seen by many publishers as a transitional method from subscription-based models to more inclusive models of funding to incorporate OA initiatives. In response to the increasing number of journals charging APCs that authors are responsible for paying in order to have open accessibility to their work, a growing number of universities are creating OA funds to help cover all or a portion of the costs. This poster illustrates the findings of this research and identifies emerging best practices among universities that have implemented an OA fund.
