ABE Lab — or the “Accessible Backlist Ebooks Lab” — is a collaboration of Fondazione LIA - Libri Italiani Accessibili, European Digital Reading Lab, and Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB), nationale bibliotheek van Nederland that aims to provide publishers with correct information about options and costs for remediation to make backlist ebooks accessible. It is funded by Creative Europe, and with the European Accessibility Act in mind its work guides publishers and institutions towards building better, more accessible ebooks. More interestingly, though, it also enumerates the different aspects of remediating a backlog of existing ebooks in its blog: https://lnkd.in/gkUb768j At Bookalope we’re excited and honored that ABE Lab lists our online tools as a possible solution to addressing the backlog problem. In fact, we’re currently working on improving our tools for that specific purpose, to help publishers update their existing ebooks (old, invalid, broken… try us!) to meet the requirements of European Accessibility Act! Curious? Interested? Talk with us 🤓 #accessibility #accessibleebooks #accessiblepublishing #bornaccessible #publishing #europeanaccessibilityact

An interesting recent blog by Corey Halychik published in the IFLA Blog section: "...libraries should consider creating new jobs focused on AI integration. These AI specialists would be equal parts investigators, facilitators, project managers, and futurists. They would find ways to use AI in different library tasks and make sure it’s successfully added to service operations. " https://lnkd.in/ehVD7xGn #LibraryTech #FutureOfLibraries #AI Corey Halaychik

Despite the potential of #artificial_intelligence to transform #academic_libraries, one of the biggest concerns is the lack of standards and best practices for implementing artificial intelligence in libraries. In addition, there is concern that artificial intelligence will replace librarianship and reduce the human interaction that is an essential aspect of academic librarianship and the information discovery process. Overall, it is clear that #AI has the potential to benefit #academic_libraries by facilitating access to resources, improving reference services, and making collection management more efficient. However, it is important to approach the implementation of artificial intelligence with greater care and to ensure that the technology is used in a way that aligns with the library's values ​​and goals. What do you think about it? Do you agree? I'd be glad to know your idea.

1) The membership of this work group contains no one from commercial publishing, in other words, the group that creates most of what the other groups consume. 2) Contrary to the contention that the comments are "out of scope", legality is an absolutely critical requirement that is in scope by definition. Does the NISO's enabling legislation even allow it to promulgate a standard that is known to be illegal? Todd Carpenter 3) The signatories are a Murderer's Row of organizations representing every aspect of commercial book publishing including agents, authors, and publishers from most parts of the world. In short, it looks to an outsider like the problem is that this group was convened with the wrong charter and the wrong membership. As Ms. Halperin suggests, it's a pity the process was allowed to waste two years of everyone's time.

Posted 150724-01 Tag #libraries #openaccess #digital #research #academic In yesterdays post (140724-05) I touched on my interest in libraries. Not surprisingly these are now digital libraries although I still enjoy the physical libraries. But it is the growth in digital libraries that really interests me. Oddly enough I also have a special interest in historical artifacts inclusive of in particular historical record keeping. Remember I write and publish history books. So Museums and Government Public Records Offices come into my range of interests. Particularly once again the digitisation of these services and ideally their integration into the conventional public community library domain. Some of the United Kingdom Local Councils with the eye on the future are looking to build this into a Heritage Hub concept following some of the developments in America. Somehow the Government has got to establish some centralised ownership on what unfortunately is as usual becoming a fragmented mess. Inevitably to watch trends I choose to watch progress in America. What is certainly in progress is major digital consolidation of owning the source of journals, magazines, books, conferences, podcasts, videos etc around specific areas of subject matter that are accurately and accessibly structured. Just to reiterate this is a huge subject capturing, categorising, evaluating and sharing information whilst clearly defining facts (science) from differing opinions and points of view. This highlights the importance of the peer review process which is integral to publishing. But just to keep it narrow I am just looking at Physics again here in this post. Historically through the United Kingdom Royal Society founded in 1660 we established the scientific library principles. The Royal Society invented scientific publishing and the process of peer review. So the United Kingdom in many critics eyes we have lost the lead role in international scientific research. But this is because we have failed to market some of the outstanding activities still being undertaken by the United Kingdom. So let’s highlight one here. I am just going to highlight the Institute of Physics (IOP) here as an example and suggest you look at some links about them below. IOP website https://lnkd.in/e6yXxHyK Wikipedia link https://lnkd.in/ei9PM6-a At the same time they are party to consolidating with some American Organisations through so called purpose led publishing initiative. Also a link to an IOP website targetted at Chinese readers to illustrate the growth of the United Kingdom’s global influence. Purpose led publishing website https://lnkd.in/eBy2J6Va IOP China website https://lnkd.in/erg2b6iy Take time to have a look around. Also buy a second hand copy of this book below since it makes for a brilliant read. Once again Bill Bryson does an excellent job of drawing together many excellent authors on the subjects covered by the Royal Society. Enjoy. Banno
