Metadata plays an increasingly important role in the life cycle of scientific information and data. Content standards for scientific metadata allow the information and data in this life cycle to be organized in consistent forms and formats to facilitate discovery and use. Creating and managing metadata needs an orchestrated effort involving professionals from computer science, library and information science, and science disciplines. When content standards for scientific metadata meet specialized or local requirements, problems may occur at different levels and force the adoption of such content standards to bend towards local requirements or vice versa. What are these problems in balancing between content standards and local requirements? How should we formulate strategies to solve the problems? What will it take to implement the strategies? This presentation attempts to address these questions from the level of science data processing, technology for data management and use, and social and policy perspectives. The first part of the presentation will provide an overview of content standards and the relationships between these content standards. Examples of scientific metadata projects will be used to demonstrate the variations that these projects have with the standards they adopted. The second part will present the different levels of data processing and how the processing levels affect the requirements for metadata. Finally, the presentation will discuss the strategies for balancing between content standards and local requirements at data processing, technology, and social and policy levels. http://hdl.handle.net/1813/11389 Title: Research Minutes: Finding Books in the Olin Stacks <br/> <br/>Authors: Bussert, Kaila; Engle, Michael <br/> <br/>Abstract: Research Minutes is a vodcast series for undergraduate students covering library research concepts.

On physical exam, the patient was bright and alert with slightly pale mucous membranes. Blindness was evidenced by difficulty in navigating the exam room. Ophthalmologic exam revealed bilaterally dilated pupils, absent menace and PLR OU, and 360? bulbous retinal detachments OU. Differential diagnoses included systemic hypertension, hyperviscosity syndrome, exudative choroiditis, systemic infection, neoplasia, and immune-mediated disorders. Critical diagnostic findings included a mild non-regenerative anemia with hypergammaglobulinemia. Serum electrophoresis revealed a bi-modal gammopathy confirmed to be of IgA origin by immunoglobulin quantification. Bone marrow aspiration cytology showed that approximately 75% of the total cells were plasma cells. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of IgA myeloma was made. Treatment with Melphalan? and prednisone was initiated and remission was achieved 5 months after initiating treatment. http://hdl.handle.net/1813/11379 Title: Copyright Keeps Open Archives and Digital Preservation Separate <br/> <br/>Authors: HIrtle, Peter B. <br/> <br/>Abstract: Explores whether publication with a "green" open access publisher will guarantee the preservation of an article.
