Since its earliest days, the publishing structures that became the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) standards have proven themselves valuable as a method for exchanging journal content. Designed by a team with decades of typesetting and markup expertise, the specifications were quickly adopted by preservation communities and as a basis for many of the largest publishers production processes. As digital publishing evolves, the importance of common vocabulary structures like JATS will only increase, because exchanging digital files is a critical component in a functioning digital content ecosystem. NISO plays a critical role in bringing together content creators, intermediaries, and consumers to develop interoperability standards for the creation, discovery, distribution and preservation of content. With the support and engagement of the National Library of Medicine, NISO has engaged a broader community of participants to the standardization of JATS and it continues to support its ongoing development and expansion of the standard. During this brief talk, Todd will discuss the value of national standardization of JATS, and the future of interoperable content standards in digital publishing.

Researchers reported that about 40% to 50% of college students are physically inactive (Keating et al., 2005), and physical inactivity among college students has been a prevalent issue. Exercise Is Medicine On Campus (EIM-OC) has been developed to combat this growing trend. Implementation of this program may be vital to its success in improving physical activity levels. However, there has been very little research into assessing how EIM-OC operates on various university campuses throughout the world. Therefore Wilson et al., (2018) developed a survey to evaluate EIM-OC implementation and outcomes at various institutions. 159 representatives were sent a cross-sectional mixed-method survey online that collected data from universities currently participating in EIM-OC. The data collected was based on one or more characteristics of their EIM-OC programs. These characteristics include the size of the university, background information on their EIM-OC programs (Date they began EIM-OC, program home, program focus, if they had an EIM-OC ambassador, and selection of student leaders and level of student involvement) and current challenges that programs face. 41 responses were used with student wellness making up the majority of programs (n=61.98%) followed by faculty/staff wellness (n=22.43%) with community wellness rounding it out (n=15.59%). Students' involvement played a critical role in many program's successes. Student roles varied from promotion, leadership/organization/planning, education, program implementation, and data collection (Table 1). Student involvement is the key to the success of EIM-OC programs on university campuses; therefore, most of the universities had a majority of their effort focused on student wellness. Having well-defined roles for students to participate in led to the majority of successes in many programs across multiple campuses. However, it was noted that many programs could not meet the demand for improving student’s physical activity level due to several shortcomings among the programs and the sheer number of students involved. Assessing this survey journal article, we found that most campuses' EIM-OC programs did only awareness programs but did not practice exercise as medicine. The Humboldt State University EIM-OC team decided to do things differently compared to other universities, so we have provided an awareness program as well as the 12-week Daily 5 km program for students, faculty, and staff during the academic year. The Daily 5 KM is a simple and free program that gets students and faculty out of the classroom and school staff out of the office for 25 to 30 minutes every day to run or jog, at their own pace, with their classmates and peers making them fitter and healthier. Some of the health benefits The Daily 5 KM program provides student and faculty is increased cardiovascular health, stamina, energy levels. It will also help in maintaining a healthy weight level and is also great stress and anxiety reducer. Therefore, we recommended the Daily 5 KM should be used in current and future programs as one of the EIM-OC movement practices.

Induced Forgetting

Selective retrieval often impairs recall of nonretrieved items, a finding referred to as retrieval-induced forgetting. In this article, I review recent research showing that selective retrieval can also improve recall of other items. This research points to a critical role of context retrieval in selective memory retrieval. The concept of context retrieval, which has played a prominent role in other lines of memory research, suggests that selective retrieval can reactivate the retrieved items’ temporal context during study, facilitating recall of other items that had a similar context at study. Such facilitatory effects on recall can arise both when selective item repetition occurs via retrieval and when it occurs via restudy, which suggests a link to the reminding literature. The findings offer new perspectives for investigating and understanding the effects of selective memory retrieval.

Problem definition: This paper studies the sourcing of a monopoly firm that procures from multiple unreliable suppliers to meet its deterministic/price-dependent demand. The suppliers’ production processes are unreliable and are modeled by correlated proportional random yields. Academic/practical relevance: As a proactive risk-mitigation tool, supply diversification has been widely studied in the literature, with the primary focus on independent supply risks. However, supply risks in practice may be correlated in nature for various reasons. By accounting for yield correlation among suppliers’ production processes, our work aims to help firms better manage their supply base and fully exploit the benefit of risk pooling through diversification. Methodology: Stochastic optimization serves as our main tool for analysis. Results: We formulate the firm’s problem in a general n-supplier setting and prove its structural properties. For a two-supplier case, we fully characterize the firm’s optimal sourcing decision and provide a unified measurement to quantify how yield correlation and characteristics jointly affect the supply base selection. Specifically, we show that when the two suppliers are highly positively correlated, the firm may sole-source from the supplier with higher effective procurement cost (the procurement cost per expected delivered unit) and also higher reliability. In addition, as the production yields become more positively correlated, supply diversification becomes less likely, and the firm’s profit decreases. Moreover, assuming multivariate normally distributed yields, we generalize those results and relevant insights to the multiple-supplier case. We uncover the critical role played by yield correlation and illustrate the insufficiency of using effective procurement cost alone to qualify a supplier. Finally, we incorporate demand uncertainty to confirm the robustness of our findings. Managerial implications: Our results urge caution in selecting the optimal supply base when the yield risks are correlated. Particularly, yield correlation, effective procurement costs, and supplier reliability should be jointly taken into account; otherwise, ignoring any one of these factors may lead to suboptimal outcomes.

The growth of the digital world brings positive and also negative influences in the society, For example, the overwhelmed of uneducated material, provoking news, the contents teaches unhealthy behavior, or hoaxes. Most of the people do not have abilities to recognize quality contents or well written contents. Those conditions are really matter, in the 21st century, people must have digital literacy the competencies. In order that the societies will be ready to deal with technology and to address the usefulness of digital content.The community must act as a smart content consumer, and also as a good content producer, so that people have ability to create good digital content and get the benefit of information. However, due to the lack of digital content framework, people have difficulty assessing the quality of digital content, and it is difficult to create content with good criteria. Therefore, it is important to create digital content standards that have a positive goal in the age of technology.To make digital content standards a digital content model was developed which was developed with Research and Development methods, involved students and cyber society on the internet. The digital content framework contains several elements, such as: pillar of social studies education, writing, knowledge, digital media, search engine optimization, and digital copyrights, which will be published in User Generated Content Platform. Furthermore, digital content model framework has been tested and has a useful principle that is used as a guidance for making high quality digital content which considers the virtue of society and the art of state of information technology.

Method Approach

Globally library cooperation and collaboration is transforming the scholarship landscape as academic libraries battle to survive amidst escalating costs of subscriptions. Zimbabwe is no exception to this phenomenon as evidenced by the development of local consortia for resource sharing. The main purpose of the research is to gather the views of librarians on the need for a library consortium to support national development in Zimbabwe. The researcher used a mixed method approach. Zimbabwe does not have national library consortium for nationwide access to information. Such a consortium is key to harnessing the collective buying power of member institutions to negotiate and guarantee license agreements for digital content. The study recommends a federated library consortium model built on lessons learned from other countries. The model elevates library consortium principles of cooperation and collaboration into Zimbabwe’s national development agenda.

Cross Case Analysis

<p>As pressure grows for cultural institutions to provide online access to images of collection objects, issues regarding copyright and reuse of materials arise. Yet little research has been conducted on the way heritage institutions within New Zealand have tackled these copyright issues and how they reach decisions to allow the reuse of digital content from their extensive online collections. Furthermore, there is a lack of academic investigation into what value any newly introduced reuse practices and policies can bring to cultural institutions and users of their digital content. My research explores how and why New Zealand’s two collecting domains, the National Library of New Zealand and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, provide openly licensed digital images of artefacts through online collection databases.  While literature on the topic of reuse of digitised documentary heritage collections is limited, previous research shows that there are myriad barriers surrounding the reuse of digitised collection objects, some of these include finding best practice for orphan works, acknowledging indigenous sensitivities, dealing with issues of trust and balancing commercial imperatives with public expectations. The body of literature also shows the opportunities and benefits that international cultural institutions have gained from establishing reuse practices for their digital collections, yet none offer insight from a New Zealand context.  Guided by this gap within the literature this dissertation investigates the establishment of use and reuse policies and practices by the National Library of New Zealand and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, and what value they feel this practice may bring to the sector. It explores each respective institution’s journey towards a connected commons through two in-depth qualitative case studies and concludes with a cross-case analysis. Within the cross-case analysis an Open GLAM Licensing Framework is proposed for Aotearoa that draws on the work that these institutions, along with other leading cultural institutions, have done in establishing reuse practices and policies for digital collections. This research contributes to Museum and Heritage Studies discourse by providing a snapshot of reuse in a New Zealand context and provides a valuable framework to evaluate the current motivations and processes of institutions establishing Open GLAM philosophies.</p>

Academic and scholarly journals are in trouble: small print runs, part-time editors, and dwindling funds are conspiring to crush them. But help is at hand: new trends in open access publishing support free, digital and open access to research literature, bringing writing and discourse to new and wider audiences. The National Library of Australia has created an Open Publish Web space, using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) digital publishing software to manage, host and deliver an online open access journal service. The Library's objective is to establish "new ways of collecting, sharing, recording, disseminating and preserving knowledge". We want "to ensure our relevance in a rapidly changing world, [by participating] in new online communities". For these reasons, the Library decided to engage in an open access journal publishing trial. This paper outlines the collaboration between the Library and the Association for the Study of Australian Literature to migrate their peer-reviewed journal, JASAL, to an online format. The successful outcome has informed the Library's decision to include Open Publish journals in the Library's collections.
