Name disambiguation

Lia

• ORCID may not be possible for a bit - are there other options?

  • Can we get a custom author ORCID field?

  • Potential issues with multiple authors if author and ORCID are not connected

  • Can campus administrators add ORCID to a profile on a user’s behalf? (probably not)

  • We can encourage users to provide ORCID
    

Title capitalization

Melissa

• Sentence case vs. title case capitalization

  • Students more likely to do title case

  • We can allow either

  • Some faculty (APA) like to use sentence case

• Standard system for student submissions

• https://titlecaseconverter.com/

Degree name and concentrations

Melissa

• More explicit instructions for this field would be helpful distinguish it from degree level. The current work form note reads: “The name of the degree awarded as a result of the resource.” See examples from various campuses:

• Master of Public Health: http://hdl.handle.net/10211.3/118837

• Master of Science in Counseling: http://hdl.handle.net/10211.3/10211.5_32

• MA: http://hdl.handle.net/10211.3/10211.4_140

• Philosophy: http://hdl.handle.net/10211.3/187426

• How are other campuses handling degree concentrations (e.g., Psychology: Social Psychology; Psychology: Industrial/Organizational Psychology; Psychology: Developmental Psychology; Psychology: Mind, Brain, and Behavior)? These concentrations are listed on students’ title pages at SFSU, and some departments would like the ability to isolate them within ScholarWorks.

• Can degree level default?

• Can we get a UC test account?

• Field definition from LOC linked data, revise to clarify further

Publishing Interest Group reports

Melissa

• Only one campus with current need for different work types (maybe CPP), most didn’t feel it was a pressing need

• Rights statement, in favor of having it required default to author owns copyright

• Can it be above the additional fields fold so authors know default copyright status?

New Trello request: legacy department names

Lia

• Shuffle to other fields (example: sponsor)

• Multiple campuses have this kind of legacy data

• Moving forward have a non-shown descriptive field in the workform

• Driven by current facets and discoverability

• Way to associate legacy departments with current ones?

• We can reorganize this in post migration

Rights statements (if time)

Lia

See above in Publishing Interest Group section

Brian Tu will be helping with Scholarworks

• Merlot going to CSU Long Beach

• Brian’s role bit more programmer oriented, getting up to speed
