Repository Day
November 11, 2008
Yesterday we ran several workshops designed to introduce the Leeds Met Repository (comprising PERSoNA and Streamline) as an integrated system-in-development and to have colleagues engage with some of the tools that will eventually (soon!) be incorporated into a complementary infrastructure surrounding the repository and facilitating easy and intuitive deposit, discovery and sharing of a myriad of different scholarly ...

MSc Dissertation and copyright: Reality bites
October 24, 2008
Beth is making real progress with her dissertation and her outputs are looking really good. There is the small matter of copyright however - Beth is quite happy for me to use her material/IPR but a lot of her data is from a questionnaire and in depth interviews with research staff who have given only verbal consent for ...

Show and TEL
October 24, 2008
Yesterday I spoke to colleagues at the monthly TEL network meeting which, technical problems notwithstanding, was an opportunity to engage, in particular, with learning technologists who should prove invaluable as intermediaries back to their respective faculties. I wasn’t actually able to show them intraLibrary itself as the network seemed to have developed bahavioural problems but I did show the ...

Organisational structure, metadata and resource discovery
October 08, 2008
In terms of the organisational structure and metadata for our repository we must consider that: Resources must be discoverable both internally (i.e. within intraLibrary itself) and, where appropriate, by external systems e.g. search engines Visitors to the repository must be able to browse repository content in an intuitive manner. These requirements are related and can be fully realised ...

My very first interview
September 25, 2008

In actual fact the SDF did not prove to be the easiest environment to interview academic staff as they were scurrying from workshop to workshop and not terribly amenable to interrogation during tea break. I did manage to get some recorded material ...

Iv’e got the post festival, metadata schema, taxonomical blues
September 18, 2008
I have to say that I really enjoyed the Staff Development Festival. It got me away from my PC, interracting with folk from all over the University face to face and I can catagorically say that the current generation of social networking tools don’t even come close to this more traditional form of interraction! The permenant stand in ...
