A preliminary evaluation of metadata records machine translation
Date: 2012
Creator: Chen, Jiangping; Ding, Ren; Jiang, Shan & Knudson, Ryan
Description: This article discusses a preliminary evaluation study of metadata records machine translation. This study is partially supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant LG-06-10-0162-10. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate freely available machine translation (MT) services' performance in translating metadata records. Design/methodology/approach: Randomly selected metadata records were translated from English to Chinese using Google, Bing, and SYSTRAN MT systems. These translations were then evaluated using a five point scale for both fluency and adequacy. Missing count (words not translated) and incorrect count (words incorrectly translated) were also recorded. Findings: Concerning both fluency and adequacy, Google and Bing's translations of more than 70 percent of test data received scores equal to or greater than three, representative of "non-native Chinese" and "much coverage," respectively. SYSTRAN scored lowest in both measures. However, these differences were not statistically significant. A Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated a strong relationship (r=0.86) between fluency and adequacy. Missing count and incorrect count strongly correlated with fluency and adequacy. Originality/value: Most existing digital collections can be accessed in English alone. Few digital collections in the USA support multilingual information access (MLIA) that enables users of differing languagees to search, browse, recognize and use ...

Professional Learning Communities & Personal Learning Networks in Information Science
Date: January 2012
Creator: Hill, Valerie; Bartoletti, Robin; Helge, Kris & Brannon, Sian
Description: This presentation is part of a Doctoral Student Special Interest Group (SIG) panel discussion group from the 2012 Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE). Doctoral students discuss various ways to keep up with changes in information science and technology through developing professional learning communities. Continuing education and professional development requires connectivity today more than ever due to new trends in information delivery, such as user-generated content, social networking, and Web 2.0 communication tools. Each individual can easily be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information and tools available on the Internet. Through collaboration, librarians and information professionals can collectively build a PLN (personal learning network) and a PLC (professional learning community) with a focus on the profession of librarianship and information technology. This panel consists of doctoral students and candidates who have developed both a PLN (personal learning network) and a PLC (professional learning community) through embracing emerging technology tools and collaborating with each other. Examples of their experience exemplify the importance of "extending our reach" and "expanding our horizons". The hierarchy of information has radically changed within the past decade. The goal is to create opportunities that allow doctoral students to explore innovation while adhering to the ...

[Review] Collaborate: The Art of We
Date: 2012
Creator: Joshua-Gojer, A. Esther
Description: This book review discusses 'Collaborate: The Art of We' by Dan Sanker. The phenomenon of collaboration is getting popular in organizations; however while it is not a new buzzword, it is gaining more mileage because of the changes we see around us. In his book 'Collaborate: The Art of We' (2012), author Dan Sanker makes the case for social Darwinism - the constant battle for survival - by stating that in the coming decades, the fittest will be the ones who know how to collaborate. In today's global economy, time is of essence, as is quality. The book is timely because in the light of the present economy, collaboration is not just a best practice, but an essential practice for performance.

Beyond Searching Metadata
Date: February 2012
Creator: Oyarce, Guillermo A.
Description: This poster discusses information discovery. Electronic theses and dissertation (ETD) collections found in academic library repositories don't necessarily use consistent metadata schemes, which is problematic for resource sharing and information discovery. This poster demonstrates a two-layer solution to address this problem: First, a system to navigate the metadata; the second is a KWIC-type (Keyword in context) interface to examine the information in the documents of the retrieved set.
