I will be presenting my academic blog post on the emergence of altmetrics as an alternative to traditional journal impact factor ((http://bit.ly/1O46zd5). I’ll address the arguments both for and against altmetrics and discuss my brief examination of the impact of one scholar’s research via traditional citation metrics versus via altmetrics.
This video was created as if I were giving an academic job talk for a position at the University of North Texas Libraries. The topic I was assigned for my presentation was, “current and emerging trends in digital media preservation and how libraries have/can/should address these needs.”
A survey of the practice of digitization of archival collections, how it is being accomplished, what the benefits of it are, and what concerns need to be kept in mind.
My paper is centered on digital literacy, digital inclusion, the challenges public libraries face in becoming more digitally inclusive (e.g., funding), the importance of access to broadband, and examines libraries’ central roles in bridging digital divides in the United States.
This is a paper addressing current concerns in legal libraries and librarianship, particularly those arising from the rise of digital resources. My presentation itself focuses on the technology-driven push for innovation, particularly issues presented by legal blogs.
