institutions are putting aggregated library data to work in their daily
operations. Join Program Officer <a
href="http://www.oclc.org/research/people/malpas.htm">Constance Malpas</a> and
a panel of young library leaders for a lively discussion about the role of data
analysis in library collection management. Staff from three RLG Partner
institutions will share insights from research that is reshaping preservation,
access and management practices at Columbia University, the University of
Michigan and the University of California. Featured projects include a
longitudinal analysis of circulation trends at Columbia that is informing
off-site storage transfers; a study of post-digitization use of print
collections at the University of Michigan; and a project to streamline
preservation workflows at UCLA by automating selected aspects of risk
assessment. Zack Lane (Columbia), Helen Look (Michigan) and Jake Nadal
(UCLA) will describe how these projects were designed and executed, and share
their experiences in developing new institutional capacity for data-driven
analyses. This 90 minute session will include ample time for an open
discussion about the opportunities and challenges of implementing data-driven
management strategies and retooling the library workforce.

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Globally
and nationally, book publishing represents a central kind of cultural heritage.
In this webinar, OCLC Research Post-Doctoral Researcher <a
href="http://www.oclc.org/research/people/dickey.htm">Timothy J. Dickey</a>
will provide an overview of an OCLC Research data mining project that looked at
<a href="http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/globalbooks/default.htm">books
as expressions of global cultural diversity</a> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
