Improving Open Access Discovery for Academic Library Users, a new #OCLCresearch report, examines strategies for making scholarly, peer-reviewed open access publications more discoverable for your library community. OCLC Research partnered with SHB and UKB in the Netherlands to explore efforts by their staff to make open access publications more discoverable and examine user behaviors. The findings can serve as a catalyst for academic libraries worldwide to engage in meaningful conversations about enhancing open access discoverability given local contexts and user needs. ⤵️ Read the report to learn more about bridging the gap between the availability and discovery of these publications. --- #OCLC #OpenAccess #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

ICYMI: OCLC has expanded the analysis capabilities of Choreo Insights to support the full range of languages represented in WorldCat. At a time when collection librarians and area studies librarians are focused on assessing diversity in their collections, this change allows collection analysis to address works from under-represented groups. Choreo Insights is an extensive library analytics solution that uses WorldCat holdings data to align academic library collections with institutional focus areas, emerging curriculum priorities, and future trends. Originally released with the top 70 languages in WorldCat, Choreo Insights now allows libraries to include all 483 languages available in WorldCat for collection analysis. ➡️ Click here to learn more: oc.lc/3ZCMjML #OCLCchoreo --- #OCLC #LibraryAnalytics #LibraryCollections #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

#EngagedLibraries are the place to hang. 😎 Enticing users to spend more time at their local library takes embracing new and unique ideas. This is especially true for young students. The school librarian at Oak Grove Elementary School in Mississippi, did just that. Working with the PTO and families, she spearheaded a project that brought her vision of a hammock garden to life. In this new space, students can literally hang out and read outdoors. It’s just one more way that librarians are thinking outside the box to help inspire a love of reading. 📲 We want to know how your library is getting outdoors. Share your story on social media by including hashtag#EngagedLibraries and tagging OCLC in your post. You could be featured in an upcoming issue of Abstracts, on our community engagement hub, in an upcoming blog or video, or across our social media channels. ⤵️ Click below to see more from Oak Grove Elementary’s hammock garden. --- #OCLC #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

ICYMI: We are unlocking the power of the Dewey Decimal Classification system to build an increasingly robust linked data infrastructure by creating uniform resource identifiers (URIs) for Dewey numbers. As the foundation for our “concept” entities, this Dewey linked data provides subject classifications to Works entities in WorldCat Entities, creating a layer of new relationships for knowledge graphs that power discovery. Anyone is free to view and access a base set of Dewey linked data and can begin integrating Dewey URIs into their local data management and discovery systems today. ➡️ Click here to read more: oc.lc/3MddBS7 #OCLCnews --- #OCLC #OCLCddc #OCLCworldcat #OCLCresearch #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove

How will AI change metadata standards, services, and platforms? During #ALAAC24, a panel of two librarians and #OCLCresearch staff explored how AI tools could assist in metadata creation and quality control and enhance the discovery of library resources. They also examined how the library community might use AI to improve library and archives services while also upholding library values and protecting our communities from irresponsible use of AI. ⏯️⤵️ Click below to to watch a recording of the panel discussion. --- ℹ️ This discussion is part of our Transforming Metadata series, which explores how we’re facilitating new ways of working that make libraries and their data central to contemporary research and scholarship. --- #OCLC American Library Association #PublicLibrary #PublicLibraries #AcademicLibrary #AcademicLibraries #Library #Libraries #Librarian #Librarians #LibraryLife #LibraryLove
