• Micro Library Apps - OpenSearch Widgets and Google Gadgets for Libraries by Jason Clark, Head of Digital Access and Web Services, Montana State University Libraries, jaclark@montana.edu
• 
  
• As web content continues to grow and the noise to signal ratio increases, it has become important for libraries to find ways to get into our users' common web paths: the social networking sites such as Facebook, the web portals like iGoogle, even the Learning Management Systems like Blackboard. One opportunity for libraries is in creating widgets or gadgets that allow users to have basic library search functions in these new user environments free from the catalog or library web site. In this session, we'll take a look at live applications from the Montana State University Libraries (http://www.lib.montana.edu/tools/) that provide different search functionality for library materials: a Google Gadget that allows gateway searching for library journals, books, and articles and a series of OpenSearch plugins that let patrons search library content from within the web browser. With new tools and scripts appearing daily, the barrier to entry has never been lower. Come learn about the simple steps you can take to make these widgets and research tools happen at your library.

1. Evolving Digitization Workflows by Steve McCann, Digital Projects Librarian, University of Montana, steve.mccann@umontana.edu
2. 
   
3. Mansfield Library at the University of Montana has just completed the digitization of a run of tribal newspapers for the Salish Kootenai Tribal College called the Char-Koosta News. Over the course of this project we ran into several challenges which mandated a set of workflow procedures flexible enough to ensure high quality results. Our experience has shown that a clear set of procedures and outcomes, also known as a "process meta-model", is crucial for any long-term digitization process. This presentation analyzes the roles, activities, and tasks which result in a successful digitization workflow.

1. GIS are from Mars, Archivists are from Venus: Linking State Government Geospatial Professionals and their Cultural Heritage Counterparts - by Kelly Eubank, Electronic Records Archives, North Carolina State Archives, Mark Myers, Electronic Records Analyst, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, and Butch Lazorchak, Digital Archivist, Library of Congress, wlaz@loc.gov
2. 
   
3. It is estimated that state and local governments create twice as much geospatial information as the federal government, and the challenge of preserving this information has increasingly fallen on the shoulders of state and local librarians and archivists. The Library of Congress is supporting efforts to preserve digital geospatial information through its National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program, first through its funding of a pair of geospatially-oriented projects at the University of California, Santa Barbara and North Carolina State University, and more recently through a series of projects working directly with state and local government agencies. The Multi-state Geospatial Content Transfer and Archival Demonstration, lead by the Center for Geographic Information and Analysis in North Carolina, is expanding on the NCSU project by focusing on replicating large volumes of geospatial data among several states to promote preservation and access.

2. Content Transfer: Packaging and Moving the Bits by Michelle Gallinger, Digital Archivist, Library of Congress, mgal@loc.gov
3. 
   
4. The Library of Congress has been working with National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) partners and others to preserve at-risk digital content. As preservation activities continue, the need to move content from one institution or repository to another increases. Few institutions have experience transferring large packages of heterogeneous data (including varieties of file types and sizes). Transferring content provides long-term research value to the LC and the NDIIPP partners and it also creates a geographically dispersed, redundant copy of the data. This presentation will cover the Library’s experience with the transfer of large-scale data, the packaging and manifests used, and the different kind of transfer tools that have been employed.
