Crowd-sourcing has a long history in libraries (shared cataloging, the first edition of the OED, etc.). But the web opens up a whole new set of opportunities. What are the principles that result in successful crowd-sourcing, i.e.: the "wisdom of crowds" rather than either a wasteland or even worse "the madness of crowds?" The panelists will share experiences in crowd-sourcing of reference (CrowdAsk at Purdue University), crowd-sourcing of user-advisory services (ChiliFresh), and crowd-sourcing of metadata for catalogs (LibraryThing for Libraries).

Thursday, November 6 • 10:20am - 11:10amDriving Discovery: Do You Have the Keys to Fair Linking? (It’s About Knowledge and Library Control)Do concerns about “fair” linking make you wonder about discovery services? It’s time to understand HOW linking works. In the end, the power is in your hands. But do you know it? And maximize it? If search engines are optimized to provide the best results, regardless of the source of the content, or the resource from which a record originated, the focus is on the full-text linking. How and why did the link appear? What is the user experience? Do users want to see multiple links to full text or do they just want to see the article ? How effective (accurate, simple) is the link resolver experience for your users? How can it be optimized? How can usage via the link resolver be tracked back to the source? What are the emerging standards? This session explores fears of bias, the approaches to take control of your discovery service through customization, and ways to maximize the user experience. It covers all views from the discovery vendor perspective, participating content partner perspective, an over-arching look from the standards perspective, as well as from a university perspective associated consortium having needs to allow for customization at multiple universities with differing needs/opinions.

Thursday, November 6 • 10:20am - 11:10amDRM: A Publisher-Imposed Impediment to Progress, or a Legitimate Defense of Publisher/Author Intellectual Property Rights?Digital distribution of content provides clear advantages to all stakeholders in scholarly communications, but it also introduces new complexities and challenges. The exercise of control is a significant one. Is media — whether for scholarly or for entertainment purposes— going to be more open, instead of closed? Does stringent digital rights management (DRM) help or hinder the development and use of content? Do devices which enable broader and more immediate access to content affect pricing and control? How do librarians and publishers protect their interests, and ensure that content can be purchased, owned, and used most effectively? Representatives from book, journal, and multimedia publishers talk about how they’ve determined what (if any) DRM is appropriate for their content, and a librarian discusses the impact DRM (or lack thereof) has on scholarship.

Thursday, November 6 • 9:00am - 9:45amFrom Course Reserves…to Course Reversed? The Library’s Changing Role in Providing Textbook ContentAcademic libraries have always thought of “content” as their domain on campus. Yet beyond the course reserve desk, libraries have traditionally played a relatively small role on campus for the most common form of content in higher education, textbooks. Today, everything about textbooks and other course content is changing quickly. Spiraling costs have made textbooks a political issue in some states, while at the same time traditional textbook publishers experience economic pressures both from the growth of the used and rental markets and from new technological demands from the professors who assign their online books as well as from the students who use them. Librarians have begun to take notice, reversing course on the traditional library view of textbooks. A number of libraries are looking for more affordable ways for students to access textbooks. Many are leveraging open educational resources (OER) as alternatives to expensive, commercially-published textbooks. Other libraries have themselves become textbook publishers. This changed course has led librarians sometimes into new alliances and sometimes into degrees of conflict with other organizations, such as bookstores, commercial publishers, university presses, and aggregators.

Friday, November 7 • 10:30am - 11:15amLet’s Talk: Bringing Many Threads Together to Weave the Scholarly Information Eco-systemThe OSTP directive (2/22/13) to make peer reviewed articles and data resulting from research funded by federal agencies publicly accessible inspired several new initiatives, most notably the SHARE project being developed by university and library groups; and the publishing community-offered CHORUS project. Although these approaches were initially developed independently (and viewed by some as competing), many of those involved have come to see them as potentially complementary. In the months since, there has been considerable conversation among people involved in these and various related initiatives about bringing these together to help make sense of a broad-based information ecosystem.In this informal and interactive session, speakers affiliated with each of these will discuss commonalities, opportunities for collaboration, and the desirability of bringing all stakeholders in the scholarly communication community together to develop systems that can address the common interests of the general public and all those concerned about the advancement of scholarship.

Friday, November 7 • 4:30pm - 5:30pmThe Long Arm of the LawThis is the 4th year of the Charleston Conference's legal update session. We wondered if there would be enough to report (no big supreme court cases this time around), but... with copyright and legal matters, there's always something compelling. Our two legal panelists (one new to Charleston and the other a repeat offender on this panel!) will offer views and insights on topics such as:* The Wolters Kluwer-Aspen Law Connected Casebook program, in which casebooks would come with access to Aspen’s digital platform, offering wonderful digital bells and whistles. However, students would be required to return the print books to Aspen at the end of the term. How do business models such as this relate to copyright law: Do they undermine it? Are they contractual and therefore over-ride the law?* In the 2013 case of White v. West Publishing, two of the world's largest for-profit publishers asserted fair use over ingestion of millions of briefs into their databases, to which they sell full-text access. In February 2013, the court issued a brief notice that it had decided the case in the publishers’ favor, and in July 2014, the district court issued a memorandum explaining that three of four fair use factors weighed in favor of fair use, while the remaining factor was neutral. "For profit re-use" -- how do we understand this case?* In May 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union famously ruled on the “Right to be Forgotten," meaning that "Individuals have the right - under certain conditions - to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about them." Is this good for privacy? Libraries? Are there any parallels in the US?

Friday, November 7 • 11:30am - 12:15pmPrivacy in the Digital Age: Publishers, Libraries and Higher EducationUniversities and colleges are collecting and analyzing increasing quantities of personal digital data about their faculty, students and staff, while academic publishers and libraries are beginning to track the online behavior of consumers and users of scholarly resources. On the one hand, these activities are essential tools for institutions and organizations as they strive to diversify their workforces and / or student populations, improve educational, student, and library services, and enhance the marketing and discoverability of scholarly resources. On the other hand, the amount of personal digital data that is now being collected raises a number of concerns about the privacy of individuals. What sorts of data are being collected? To whom are those data made available? How are they being used? And how could they be misused? The aims of this session are to identify some of the most pressing privacy issues facing higher education and in particular the scholarly communications ecosystem; and to begin a discussion about how academic institutions, libraries, academic presses, and funders can work together to develop systems, policies and standards that protect individuals' privacy but enable organizations and institutions to collect and analyze personal data so that they can fulfill their missions more effectively.

Saturday, November 8 • 9:45am - 10:45amThe Punishment for Dreamers: Big Data, Retention, and Academic LibrariesThe use of “big data” by institutions of higher education – and academic libraries – to address the complex problems faced by postsecondary education is still truly in its infancy. Dreamers by moonlight are seeking new methods of funding, assessment, and strategic planning. Among the issues that face institutions of higher education, retention is one hot-button element with wide-ranging implications. Where does the academic library fit in with increasing calls for accountability, stretched budgets, and imperatives for student success? How can our evolving libraries demonstrate value in this dynamic new context for higher education?
