[Dspace-general] Controlled Vocabulary by Library

Tue May 11 14:37:10 EDT 2004

As open access progresses, and libraries become freed of the burden of paying for the large amount of little-used commercially-produced material, available resources within the library for this should increase.  I think that charging fees would inhibit the growth of the amount of available material, unless it is clear that those you are providing service for have funds to pay.

	MIT has suggested offering premium (for a fee) services in the future,
	one of which would entail library staff creating metadata or perhaps
	just controlled vocabulary for the communities.  Has anyone implemented
	these premium services?  And of more interest, has anyone offered this
	service to communities free of charge?

	Thank you

	Question about entering keywords in to DSpace:

	This question may be premature for many on the list if you are running a

	pilot program as we are about to here at the Unversity of DE.  Standards

	for entering keywords:  is anyone using a standard (e.g., thesaurus,
	LCSH, etc.) as a source for chosing keywords to enter in to DSpace? 
	When keywords are not available, is anyone taking keywords from the
	abstract or, taking the time consuming approach and contacting the
	author to supply them?
