Podcast Description
OCLC Research podcasts consist of interviews in which OCLC Research staff ask the question, "What's keeping you awake at night?" of up-and-comers and people who are thinking ahead, worrying about big issues or imagining the next big thing; plus recorded audio from meetings or presentations with OCLC Research staff. Our webinars are recorded online presentations about the latest RLG Partnership updates, reports or project findings.

The Power of Raised Expectations | David Lankes on how engaging with our communities and ecouraging risk-taking can encourage others to have higher expectations of libraries and raise our own expectations of ourselves. | 1/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoOCLC Research Webinar: Seeking Synchronicity | In this webinar, Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist at OCLC, and Marie L. Radford, Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Communication & Information, Rutgers, discussed the key findings of their multi-year study that were recently published in the report, Seeking Synchronicity: Revelations and Recommendations for Virtual Reference. These findings indicate that today's students, scholars and citizens are not just looking to libraries for answers to specific questions—they want partners and guides in a lifelong information-seeking journey. By transforming virtual reference (VR) services into relationship-building opportunities, libraries can leverage the positive feelings people have for libraries in a crowded online space where the biggest players often don't have the unique experience and specific strengths that librarians offer. | 11/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | VideoOCLC Research Technical Advances for Innovation in Cultural Heritage Institutions (TAI CHI) Webinar Series Presents ArchiveGrid | In this short and lively webinar, Bruce Washburn and research assistant Ellen Ast provided an overview of ArchiveGrid's history along with a demonstration of its new beta discovery system in development in OCLC Research.

| 4 | VideoOCLC Research Webinar: Rapid Capture in Special Collections and Archives | In this webinar, experts from special collections and archives offered up creative ways to speed up other parts of the process to provide greater access to special collections, including: nimble workflows that allow multiple streams of manuscript content to be scanned and presented online quickly; re-using archival description, or: our metadata is only as good as our descriptive practice; the quick and the good: outsourcing rapid capture of special collections; a planned destructive scanning process designed to create digitally reformatted copies that join their born-digital counterparts and are accessed and preserved as a single format; a system, paired with rapid capture, to provide access to entire folder content through the finding aid. | 11/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoOCLC Research Webinar: Scan and Deliver: Creative User-initiated Digitization in Special Collections and Archives | This webinar was all about sharing streamlined methods for scanning and delivering digital copies of special collections materials at the request of users. This webinar featured creative experiments aimed at scanning and delivering user-requested digital copies of special collections materials. San Diego State University offers self-serve scanning in their reading room. At the University of Chicago, special collections and interlibrary loan (ILL) colleagues are working together to use existing infrastructure and expertise. The Getty Research Institute developed a tiered approach to capture and post digital files created by fulfilling user requests. Speakers discussed workflows-in-progress, lessons learned, and how they learned to stop worrying and love digital copy requests. | 11/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 8 | VideoOCLC Research Technical Advances for Innovation in Cultural Heritage Institutions (TAI CHI) Webinar Series Presents Merritt: A | In this webinar, Stephen Abrams, Patricia Cruse, John Kunze and Perry Willett from UC3 provide background on the micro-services concept and the growing community of practice that is cohering around the idea, and a technical description and demonstration of the Merritt repository and its services. The repository supports flexible, low-barrier submission via human interfaces and machine APIs; persistent identifier minting, binding, and resolution; a semantically-enabled metadata catalog; and distributed storage sub-domains to facilitate wide-scale replication. Merritt is being used by UC3 to manage the diverse digital collections of the ten campus University of California system and a number of external content partners. It provides contributors and curators with direct control over their content and access to it; facilitates content sharing and reuse; and helps meet the requirements for data sustainability increasingly being required by grant funding agencies. Merritt will soon be made available under an open source license. | 12/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 11 | VideoOCLC Research Webinar: Global Book Publication: Books as an Expression of Cultural Diversity | In this webinar, OCLC Research Post-Doctoral Researcher Timothy J. Dickey provides an overview of an OCLC Research data mining project that looked at books as expressions of global cultural diversity to provide a global overview of the publishing arts. In this project, researchers considered the overall annual publishing for every country of the world, the libraries that collect and even import a country's works, the "foreign" monographs their libraries import, and the proportion of publications in various official and native languages. These efforts produced a rich data portrait of the global literary arts (as reflected library records in the WorldCat database), with emphasis on cultural literary heritage by country and region and includes a wealth of case studies in single countries' practices in both literary publishing and the preservation of their literary heritage. | 9/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

They also engaged the audience in a discussion about the radical rift among experienced professionals about whether sharing special collections is even a good idea. (The four speakers definitely think it IS a good idea.) This webinar was one of three amplified sessions that were livecast from the 2010 Annual RLG Partnership Meeting. | 7/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 19 | VideoOCLC Research Webinar: Transitioning from and Beyond MARC | In this webinar, OCLC Research program officer Karen Smith-Yoshiumura provided a recap of an RLG Partners working group's findings from gathering and analyzing evidence over the past two years about MARC tag usage to inform library metadata practices. She expanded on their conclusion that MARC data cannot continue to exist in its own discrete environment and will need to be leveraged and used in other domains to reach users in their own networked environments. The discussion focused on the next steps to transition beyond MARC and have our metadata part of the semantic Web. This webinar was one of three amplified sessions that were livecast from the 2010 Annual RLG Partnership Meeting. Please note: there was a problem with the audio recording at the beginning of this webinar, so several minutes pass before the speaker can be heard. | 7/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
