Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Metadata Matters: A Holistic Approach to Metadata at the University of Hawai‘i Institutional Repository(2015-06-28) Shiba, Asako; Beamer, JenniferLibraries that maintain an institutional repository (IR) have always faced issues of metadata quality. The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) Library is no exception. The issue of metadata quality at UHM is complicated by several factors: 1) metadata is produced by the IR’s community members and often not trained by library staff through unmediated submissions; 2) the repository’s scope is inclusive of both scholarly and non-scholarly works produced on campus; 3) the community that deposits digital objects to the IR consists of diverse members; 4) the IR has been up and running for seven years with no formal/documented workflows and/or metadata guidelines. Based on the understanding that standardization of metadata practice alone cannot achieve the goal, UHM has taken a holistic and versatile approach to improve the quality of metadata in its IR. In other words, a preset basic course of actions, ranging from standardization to outreach, has been adjusted based on contingencies and feedback. This method has worked well not only because it enables good quality metadata to be an integral part of the UHM’s IR initiative as a whole, but also because it has helped make a positive impact on open access that UHM advocates and beyond. The poster illustrates the approach undertaken to show how each action aligns with the overarching goal of improving metadata, and is intertwined each other to contribute to some of the Library’s larger objectives.Item type: Item , UHM Library Technology Survey 2014(2015-03-19) Beamer, JenniferItem type: Item , 2014 Open Access Week: Advancing Your Research and Scholarship(2014-10-23) Lee, Sara; Beamer, JenniferItem type: Item , Chronicling America: Hawaii Digital Newspaper Program(2014-09) Chantiny, MarthaItem type: Item , Chronicling America, National Digital Newspaper Program, HDNP: Technical Aspects(2014-08) Chantiny, MarthaItem type: Item , "Japanese Zaibatsu" in Cultural sociology of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa : an encyclopedia(Thousand Oaks, Calif. : SAGE Publications, 2012) Beamer, Jennifer; Seybolt, Peter J.Zaibatsu is a Japanese term that refers to industrial and financial business companies that developed in Japan from the mid-1800s into the mid-1900s. Zaibatsu were large family-controlled vertical monopolies consisting of a holding company, a wholly owned banking subsidiary providing finance, and interconnected industrial subsidiaries dominating specific sectors of a market, either as stand-alone companies or through a number of subsubsidiaries. The size and influence of these companies allowed for significant control over segments of the Japanese economy. However, the zaibatsu were widely condemned by the late 1930s as being elements of Western excess in Japanese society, a corrupting influence on Japan's parliamentary system, and highly profit-oriented organizations disloyal to Japan's imperialistic future. From the late 1900s onward, the Zaibatsu were instrumental in economic and industrial activity within Japan. Zaibatsu groups were made up of a central holding company, owned by a controlling family, which held the stocks of major ...Item type: Item , Reviving Japanese "Traditional" Industries: Prospects and Strategies for Asian Regional Integration(Waseda University Global COE Program Global Institute for Asian Regional Integration (GIARI), 2010-03-25) Beamer, JenniferIn the 1980s, most Asian traditional craft industries severely declined, deeply impacted by the process of globalization. Japan’s craft industry was no exception, and in looking for new ways to expand the shrinking domestic market for crafts, Japan’s Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) began to look for opportunities outside its borders. Several prospects emerged in the form of cooperative and developmental craft exchanges designed to raise awareness and create an appreciation for traditional commodities among Asian neighbors. While research to date concerning Asian regional integration has focused mainly on economic analysis, this paper argues that focusing on the social and cultural benefits of such craft cooperatives is potentially a more effective means for successful regional integration and advancement of Asian community building. Furthermore, as traditional crafts are material objects that can represent aspects of local, ethnic or cultural identity, therefore symbolizing not only the economic, but also social and cultural elements of a society, they can be part of the discourse of grassroots integration focused away from the elite. This paper investigates the case of a regional community initiative—Japan’s Kiso Lacquer- ware Technical Cooperation Project and educational exchange with the Union of Myanmar in 1998. As an initial investigation, this paper will suggest preliminary strategies for regional cooperation and the survival of traditional industries.Item type: Item , Library Digital Collections for Research and Scholarship(2012-09) Chantiny, MarthaItem type: Item , Current technologies impact on functions and activities of the library(Direccion General de Bibliotecas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), 2013-11) Chantiny, MarthaConference Objective: To know the current situation of university, academic and special libraries and the impact of a globalized environment.Item type: Item , Improving Discovery and Use of Your Digital Repository Materials – OCLC Digital Collection Gateway Webinar Presentation(2012-05-03) Chantiny, MarthaLearn how the University of Hawaii is organizing their digital library and increasing its visibility, by incorporating the newest features of the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway into their workflow.
