Abstract:

This study focuses on the efforts and projects to create and sustain the digital transformation of the museum collection in the Grand Egyptian Museum project. GEM is considered one of the cultural enlightenment projects where Egyptian heritage truly meets the latest technological innovations. GEM's one-of-a-kind and valuable collection will be displayed under overwhelming themes and narratives that will depict the ancient Egyptians' life, customs, death, and rebirth beliefs, which they performed and lived for almost 5,000 years. Egyptian cultural materials are spread across all of Egypt and ma

Abstract:

Collections-based organizations (CBOs) can play a crucial role in addressing sustainable development (SD), but their aspiration to become more sustainable, as seen in policies and guidelines, is confronted with several challenges in practice. To facilitate a sustainability transition, this process of change needs to be managed and adequate tools adopted and implemented. Many tools exist to support this transition; however, a scarcity of centralized resources available to CBOs might negatively affect the integration of sustainability practices in their work. With the aim to address this gap, IC

Abstract:

 Since the advent of digital scholarship in the humanities, decades of extensive, distributed scholarly efforts have produced a digital scholarly record that is increasingly scattered, heterogeneous, and independent of curatorial institutions. Digital scholarship produces collections with unique scholarly and cultural value—collections that serve as hubs for collaboration and communication, engage broad audiences, and support new research. Yet, lacking systematic support for digital scholarship in libraries, digital humanities collections are facing a widespread crisis of sustainability.

To assess different large data collections at the same time, we present the Synchronic Curation (SC) framework.

Abstract:

The development of the times is getting faster with technology. Digital madrasas also need other supporters for better educational sustainability. In the era of digitalization, the Madrasah as an educational institution also has a role in keeping up with the times. This study aims to describe efforts to optimize digital libraries and analyze the strategy for developing digital collections in madrasah libraries. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques including observation of the condition and state of the digital library in the Madrasah, interviews wit

Abstract:

Collections, aggregators, collaborative digitization projects, publishers, researchers, and external users are actors in a complex web of biological specimen data interactions, workflows, and pipelines. The software that mediates interactions among these diverse players enables the creation and delivery of species occurrence data from specimens to a growing set of research data consumers. Informaticists have made great strides in developing the individual services, standards and functions; researchers can now almost effortlessly discover and access massive amounts of museum data to address imp

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on how library and information science (LIS) as a field operationalizes the concept of organizational sustainability for managing digital resources, projects and infrastructures such as digital libraries and repositories over time. It introduces a nine dimensional framework for organizational sustainability in the digital cultural heritage community. Design/methodology/approach Content analysis of publications from three LIS databases (2000–2015). Findings Comparing the articles to the nine dimension framework shows that most LIS articles discuss

Abstract:

In the last decades, biodiversity preservation has gained growing attention and many strategies, laws and regulations have been enacted by governments with this purpose. The MicroBioDiverSar (MBDS) project, the first one regarding microbiological resources, funded by the Italian Minister of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (Mipaaf) through the Law 194/2015, was aimed at surveying, cataloguing, and managing the microbial resources and the related information of three Sardinian collections (Agris BNSS, Uniss, and Unica). While microorganisms were reordered and inventoried, a federated da

Abstract:

The changing place of philological scholarship in the context of library collections is the topic here, as it has become so significant in the digital transformation era. No longer at the heart of the classic humanities, philology has resurfaced as a central cross-disciplinary method for reading texts, handling cultural heritage, and organizing scholarly communication. In drawing upon both historical and contemporary examples, the research explores the convergence of philology with library science, digital humanities, and archiving. The research foregrounds how libraries themselves have evolve

Abstract:

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) funded a grand experiment on the U.S. biological collections community, although it may not have anticipated the significance of the results. For over 30 years, the NSF made recurring investments through competitive grants in software engineering and technical support for biological collections databases. The Specify Project (now the Specify Collections Consortium), and its predecessor the MUSE Project, which was first funded in 1987, represent a lineage of sustained NSF investment in biological collections database systems. Specify is largely scoped

Abstract:

This research examines how Internet of Things (IoT) technology and advanced analytics may be integrated into trash management. The results show a notable improvement in waste collection efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. Significant operational cost reductions were achieved by reducing the number of overfilled trash cans by 20% and the frequency of collections by 15% as a consequence of real-time data capture using IoT sensors. Additionally, a 25% reduction in trip distance was made possible by data-driven route optimization, which also resulted in a 10% drop in fuel u

There is growing concern that a variety of factors threaten the sustainability of academic libraries: developing and preserving print and digital collections, supplying and supporting rapidly changing technological and networking infrastructure, providing free services, maintaining growing costs of library buildings, and lowering libraries’ ecological footprint. This paper discusses the multidimensional issues of sustainability in academic libraries and identifies needs for designing an integrated framework for sustainable strategies in academic libraries.
