PaRaLLEL sEssIons 1.4 to 4.4 30 JunE 2010 sEssIon 2.4 gIusEPPIna vuLLo (unIvERsIty of gLasgoW, uk): a gLoBaL aPPRoach to dIgItaL LIBRaRy EvaLuatIon This paper will describe the key research advances on digital library evaluation models. Digital library evaluation has a vital role to play in building DLs, and in understanding and enhancing their role in society. The paper will cover the theoretical approach, providing an integrated evaluation model which overcomes the fragmentation of quality assessments, and propose some examples of DL evaluation methodologies, undertaking a comparative analysis of them. Digital library evaluation is a growing interdisciplinary area. Researchers and practitioners have specific viewpoints of what DLs are, and they use different approaches to evaluate them. Each evaluation approach corresponds to a DL model, and there is no common agreement on its definition. Despite that, more and more efforts have been made to evaluate DLs. However, a methodology that encompasses all the approaches does not yet exist. There are two main reasons for this: 1. digital libraries are complex entities which need interdisciplinary approaches 2. digital libraries are synchronic entities: the speed of evolution of DLs coupled with their lack of historical traces makes a longitudinal analysis difficult if not impossible. Nevertheless, DLs and DL research have reached a level of maturity such that a global approach to their evaluation is needed. It would encourage exchange of qualitative data and evaluation studies, allowing comparisons and communication between research and professional communities. This paper will provide the research advances in the field and a theoretical framework for digital evaluation models. giuseppina vullo is DL.org Co-Principal Investigator in the EU-funded Digital Library Interoperability, Best Practices & Modelling Foundations (DL.org), where she coordinates the Working Group on Quality for Digital Libraries, and researcher at HATII AT THE University of Glasgow. She has been a DPEX fellow at HATII in 2008, where she worked on digital collections assessment, applying DRAMBORA and InterPARES 3. Her research interests range from quality to contextualization in digital libraries and enhancement of special collections within digital environments. Giuseppina completed in 2009 her Ph.D in Library Science at the University of Udine, Italy, focusing on digital libraries evaluation. Before joining HATII, Giuseppina has been working as librarian for international organisations in Italy and in Switzerland. 48
sEssIon 3.4 maRtIn moyLE (unIvERsIty coLLEgE London, uk): cRoWdsouRcIng manuscRIPt tRanscRIPtIon UCL Library Services holds 60,000 folios of manuscripts of the philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832). A new project, the Bentham Papers Transcription Initiative (BPTI), is using this corpus to test the feasibility of outsourcing the work of manuscript transcription to members of the public. The BPTI will initially digitise 10,000 folios, and create a suite of transcription training tools. A simple interface will be devised to allow registered contributors to take temporary ownership of manuscript images and to supply transcription text for final approval by UCL experts. If approved, the transcripts will be stored as TEI-encoded documents, alongside the manuscript images, in UCL’s public Digital Collections repository. The repository will feed into an over-arching Bentham Project ‘hub’ site, which, in addition to housing the transcription interface, will offer open access to the images, transcripts and a Bentham-based ‘Ideas Bank’. The BPTI project makes innovative use of traditional material. It will stimulate public engagement with UCL’s scholarly archive collections and the challenges of manuscript transcription; it will raise the profile of the work and thought of Jeremy Bentham; and it will make new digital resources available to professional researchers. The project is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, led by the UCL Bentham Project, in collaboration with UCL Library Services and UCL Department of Information Studies. It is part of the work of the new UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. martin moyle is Digital Curation Manager at UCL (University College London), with responsibilities for services and projects in the areas of digital repositories and digital preservation. Current projects include text mining for open access repositories (the JISC MERLIN project), metadata aggregation (the EuropeanaTravel project), a repository of primary audio-visual research data (the JISC CAVA project) and crowdsourced manuscript transcription (the AHRC Bentham Transcription Initiative). 30 JunE 2010 49
