Sterling Memorial Library Lecture Hall, 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. May 5/1: 2006 SCOPA Grant Recipients Forum. The Professional Development Grants Program supports innovative research and investigative projects undertaken by members of the Managerial and Professional staff of the Yale University Library. The grants are intended to provide incentive and financial assistance for projects that contribute to the Yale library community through such avenues as scholarly research, creative program applications, or feasibility/ pilot studies. The program is administered by the Library's Standing Committee on Professional Awareness (SCOPA). At this forum, members from each of the three groups awarded a 2006 SCOPA Grant will introduce and discuss their project, discuss the outcomes, the project progress, and the project experience on the whole.

Since then Patricia’s ongoing activities have evolved into a broader partnership with libraries and catalogers in Nigeria and Ghana, a relationship that has significantly expanded access to African academic library collections both in Africa itself and throughout the world. Patricia will discuss the challenges faced by African librarians and how collaborative efforts with Yale and other institutions are helping to surmount the technical obstacles that sometimes threaten the goal of improved access.

SML Lecture Hall, 11:30 am to 1:00 pm 12/12: OAI Data Harvesting and the CERL Manuscript Portal (see presentation in .ppt ) CERL, the Consortium of European Research Libraries (http://www.cerl.org), is a cooperative venture focused on “improving access to, as well as exploitation and preservation of, the European printed heritage.” One of the consortium’s resources is the CERL Portal ( http://cerl.epc.ub.uu.se/sportal/), an interface that enables cross-searching of catalogs of manuscript and early printed materials. As the only North American member of CERL, Yale plays an important role in furthering the organization’s mission, and this past fall Yale undertook a project to extract Orbis records for manuscript collections and make these available to the CERL Portal using the OAI (Open Archives Initiative) protocol. At this forum Yue Ji, Programmer Analyst for ILTS at Sterling; E.C. Schroeder, Head of Beinecke Technical Services; and Kalee Sprague, Systems Librarian for ILTS at Sterling, will discuss CERL and Yale’s involvement in the organization. In particular, after providing a general overview, they will focus on why Yale is interested in the CERL Portal, the functions and importance of OAI, and the specifics of Yale’s data harvesting project, including what was done, how it was done, and how such techniques can be used for other projects.
