601 | <p class=paragraph>There is an ongoing discussion on what it means to be a
|
---|
602 |
|
---|
603 | digital librarian (Coleman, 2005; Marion, 2001; Mostafa et al, 2006; <span
|
---|
604 |
|
---|
605 | style='mso-ansi-language:EN-NZ'>Pomerantz et al, 2006)</span>. It is similar to
|
---|
606 |
|
---|
607 | being a traditional librarian in terms of ethos and applicability of core
|
---|
608 |
|
---|
609 | guiding theories, including access, cataloguing, collection development and
|
---|
610 |
|
---|
611 | teaching people both search skills and general information literacy. It can be
|
---|
612 |
|
---|
613 | viewed as simply integrating one set of digital information resources into a
|
---|
614 |
|
---|
615 | set of access services provided around a pre-existing set of paper-based
|
---|
616 |
|
---|
617 | resources. However it also requires additional technical skills, extending the
|
---|
618 |
|
---|
619 | librarian's role into new areas. For example, DL creation can be more akin to
|
---|
620 |
|
---|
621 | publishing than collection development, involving aspects of editing, revision
|
---|
622 |
|
---|
623 | and aligning to data and metadata standards.</p>

629 | AR-SA'>The topic of digital librarianship is subject to rapid change (Pomerantz
|
---|
630 |
|
---|
631 | et al, 2006), as it is partially defined by the availability and functionality
|
---|
632 |
|
---|
633 | of appropriate software. The ease of building a digital library or an
|
---|
634 |
|
---|
635 | institutional repository has been radically changed over the past decade by the
|
---|
636 |
|
---|
637 | emergence of software such as Greenstone (Witten &amp; Bainbridge, 2003) and DSpace
|
---|
638 |
|
---|
639 | (Tansley et al, 2005). For example, the courses presented in library schools
|
---|
640 |
|
---|
641 | are often based around similar material presented in tutorials at digital
|
---|
642 |
|
---|
643 | library conferences. Education based around digital library software inevitably
|
---|
644 |
|
---|
645 | brings with it techniques and concepts from computer science; especially as
|
---|
646 |
|
---|
647 | most of these courses combine theory and practice (Ma, Clegg, &amp; O'Brien,
|
---|
648 |
|
---|
649 | 2006) Issues that can cause problems for library students vary from the basic (such
|
---|
650 |
|
---|
651 | as selecting the appropriate software version, downloading and installing) to
|
---|
652 |
|
---|
653 | advanced topics involving customization and extensibility (Nichols et al,
|
---|
654 |
|
---|
655 | 2006).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

|

679 |
|

680 | libraries have become more computerised, librarians have had to learn more and

681 |
|
---|
682 | more about computer systems, file formats and web servers. Over time, commodity
|
---|
683 |
|
---|
684 | software can hide away certain levels of complexity as a basic infrastructure
|
---|
685 |
|
---|
686 | is developed. But innovative computer applications will always require a degree
|
---|
687 |
|
---|
688 | of explicit support and tinkering. For example, the Greenstone software
|
---|
689 |
|
---|
690 | development team has, over several years, developed a variety of tools to
|
---|
691 |
|
---|
692 | abstract away from technical details to simplify the tasks of creating and
|
---|
693 |
|
---|
694 | maintaining digital collections. Despite this work the experiences of using
|
---|
695 |
|
---|
696 | digital library software can still be disconcerting for some students (Nichols
|
---|
697 |
|
---|
698 | et al, 2006). This state of affairs is more a reflection on the
|
---|
699 |
|
---|
700 | state-of-the-art in content management systems than a criticism of any particular
|
---|
701 |

709 |
|

710 | the perspective of software developers the power of digital library software
|

711 |
|

712 | derives from the flexibility of computer programming languages. Indeed, the

|
---|
935 |
|

936 | if they do not directly program new digital library applications, librarians
|

937 |
|
---|
938 | are likely to be involved directly or indirectly in the installation and use of
|
---|
939 |
|
---|
940 | those applications, which invariably involves tailoring work. Modern
|
---|
941 |
|
---|
942 | applications typically come with a host of options, and the defaults are often
|
---|
943 |
|
---|
944 | less than ideal. Making a resource useful and usable in a particular context
|
---|
945 |
|
---|
946 | typically involves a range of tailoring activities ranging from selecting
|
---|
947 |
|
---|
948 | between options, choosing modules to install, including or linking the
|
---|
949 |
|
---|
950 | application to the resources it will use or provide, integrating the software
|
---|
951 |
|
---|
952 | with other applications or provisions and âskinningâ the interface to create an
|

953 |
|
---|
954 | integrated, consistent and coherent look and feel for end users as part of a

955 |

956 | focus on usability. All these require varying levels of technical expertise.

990 |

|

993 | involved in the <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>design</i> of those

995 | artefacts. At the very least it should empower digital librarians to take a
|
---|
996 |
|
---|
997 | more direct role in larger-scale design processes. Applications should not be
|

998 |
|

999 | taken as technological givens, to be coped with by them and in their
|
---|
1000 |
|
---|
1001 | information intermediary role in helping others to learn and use. Rather these
|
---|
1002 |
|
---|
1003 | applications need to be regarded as provisional, changing and amenable to
|
---|
1004 |
|
---|
1005 | change by librarians. In many existing cases this still might not actually be
|
---|
1006 |
|
---|
1007 | feasible, but we believe that it is worth considering what it would take to
|
---|
1008 |
|
---|
1009 | give more librarians the skills necessary to not merely critique inadequate
|
---|
1010 |
|
---|
1011 | systems but to get involved in actually improving them. Design does not
|
---|
1012 |
|
---|
1013 | necessarily require programming. As noted above, tailoring is one aspect of
|
---|
1014 |
|
---|
1015 | design, but there are others. As well as in-house design, there are various
|
---|
1016 |
|
---|
1017 | approaches to wider involvement in larger co-design processes, including
|
---|
1018 |
|
---|
1019 | participatory design (Kyng and Mathiassen, 1997) and the involvement of lead
|
---|
1020 |
|
---|
1021 | users (von Hippel, 2005) as well as open source software development. Modern
|
---|
1022 |
|
---|
1023 | systems are frequently in the process of near-continual re-design as new
|
---|
1024 |
|
---|
1025 | versions and modules are released, which at least raises the possibility of
|
---|
1026 |
|
---|
1027 | greater involvement by people with appropriate skills<o:p></o:p></span></p>

1050 | of what is feasible in current systems development and what is not. A

1051 |
|

1052 | qualitative sense of the relative costs of different design options is also
|

1053 |
|
---|
1054 | helpful as the design space is collectively explored. Typically computer science
|

1055 |
|
---|
1056 | students are expected to acquire these rich qualitative skills just by lots of
|
---|
1057 |
|
---|
1058 | practice. They are rarely explicitly taught. We speculate that it might be
|
---|
1059 |
|
---|
1060 | possible to teach these skills of judgement without requiring considerable
|
---|
1061 |
|
---|
1062 | practical programming experience. If so, it would allow digital librarians to
|

1063 |
|

1070 | sense of what it is reasonable to ask for, you are inclined to select just from
|
---|
1071 |

1072 | the options on offer. All design involves trade-offs and compromises, but when
|
---|
1073 |
|
---|
1074 | these are done in ignorance of whole categories of costs, benefits, and opportunities,
|
---|
1075 |

1076 | truly innovative design possibilities are overlooked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

|
---|
1096 |
|
---|
1097 | innovation coinciding with the advent of the personal computer in the 1980s.
|
---|
1098 |
|
---|
1099 | Prior to that time, people who wanted to do mathematical calculations on
|
---|
1100 |
|
---|
1101 | computers (including scientists and financial experts) would have had to write
|
---|
1102 |
|
---|
1103 | a program in a language such as FORTRAN, or commission someone else to do it
|
---|
1104 |
|
---|
1105 | for them. This was for many daunting or prohibitively expensive in terms of
|
---|
1106 |
|
---|
1107 | money, opportunity cost or effort-risk-reward calculations. With the advent of
|
---|
1108 |
|
---|
1109 | the early spreadsheet programs on PCs, many people started using them because
|
---|
1110 |
|
---|
1111 | they were far easier to both learn and use than programming to achieve basic
|
---|
1112 |
|
---|
1113 | numerical calculations. Although intended for accounting calculations, the ease
|
---|
1114 |
|
---|
1115 | of learning and use encouraged innovation and appropriation by many others with
|
---|
1116 |
|
---|
1117 | needs to manipulate numbers. Nevertheless, spreadsheets were not completely
|
---|
1118 |

|
---|
1120 |
|
---|
1121 | and not generate nonsense â what we might call a numerical sense. One just did
|
---|
1122 |
|
---|
1123 | not need to know how to program in FORTRAN. Ability to program certainly helped
|
---|
1124 |
|
---|
1125 | in avoiding certain classic errors, and was essential for more complex
|
---|
1126 |
|
---|
1127 | calculations that either the spreadsheet software of the day could not manage
|
---|
1128 |
|
---|
1129 | or where the programming of macros was needed. But programming ceased to be a prerequisite
|
---|
1130 |
|
---|
1131 | and the skills of sophisticated spreadsheet use, planning, design and debugging
|
---|
1132 |
|
---|
1133 | could be taught to people who had not first learned to program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

1140 |
|

1141 | a similar manner, we believe that it is possible to extract some of the skills

1142 |
|
---|
1143 | traditionally acquired (explicitly but more often implicitly) from long
|
---|
1144 |
|

1145 | experience of programming, and teach these to librarians under the label of
|
---|
1146 |
|
---|
1147 | computational sense. In so doing we can widen the number of people able to
|
---|
1148 |
|
---|
1149 | productively engage with information technologies, just as spreadsheets widened
|
---|
1150 |
|
---|
1151 | the use of computers by numerate people far beyond the range of those willing
|
---|
1152 |
|
---|
1153 | to invest time in learning FORTRAN. This approach also challenges the
|
---|
1154 |
|
---|
1155 | developers of digital library software to produce tools as useful and useable
|
---|
1156 |
|
