Kathleen Fitzpatrick deposited Dissertating in Public in the group
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoKathleen Fitzpatrick analyses the sudden isolation graduate students find themselves in during the dissertation process. In the humanities, she observes, graduate students are regularly habituated into an anxiety of intellectual independence whereby sharing ideas, collaboration and publishing work in progress is to be considered suspect and…[Read more]

Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 3 years, 10 months agoPlagiarism is malpractice, the fabrication of others’ “ideas or work” published without the proper permission or
citation of the original contributors. Plagiarism is detected through different software, i.e., Turnitin, before publishing
any research data. The present survey study assesses whether academicians, researchers, and scholars aroun…[Read more] -
Jenn Bennett-Genthner started the topic ONIX Feeds for Library of Congress CIP registration in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 3 years, 11 months agoHi, all,
Curious if anyone is using LoC’s ONIX feed feature to apply for CIP data. We at SUNY are attempting to prep ONIX feeds for this but we can’t get the LoC to respond to our requests. If anyone has feeds they could share as an example, that would be really helpful!

ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoThanks! And it’s definitely the case that Amazon is a master of being obscure.

ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoB&N display’s TOCs and I believe Amazon UK as well. I was told (by someone at BISG I think that they believe Amazon US uses the TOC internally for Keywords, etc…but hard to say what Amazon truely does and doesn’t do).

Samara Rafert started the topic Split binds/Edelweiss in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoIf your press publishes split binds for scholarly books, how do you handle both editions in Edelweiss? (Maybe this is more of a general marketing question.) Our sales reps have pretty adamantly told me not to list them individually, but only display them as related products. But Yankee Book Peddler has specifically requested that I do list them separately.

David Sewell replied to the topic Vendor use of ONIX 3 Table of Contents information (= ) ? in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoThanks, Katie. We’ve also just modified our website feed to be able to display TOCs.
Problem is, when our title mgmt system was modified to enable <contentdetail> TOCs, the implementer didn’t grasp that the content item sequence number (LevelSequenceNumber = b284) is not the same thing as Component Number (ComponentNumber = b289). The former…[Read more]

Katie Sweeney Parmiter replied to the topic Vendor use of ONIX 3 Table of Contents information (= ) ? in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoHi @davidrsewell,
We have TOC data in our ONIX feeds and it displays on the book pages on our website and Edelweiss.
It also feeds to CoreSource, so it is available for any partners that will take it, but that is a moving target. Similar to your experience, we have not seen Amazon display the TOC data on book pages.

David Sewell started the topic Vendor use of ONIX 3 Table of Contents information (= ) ? in the discussion
ONIX and Metadata Issues on UP Commons 4 years agoWe have fairly recently started adding TOC information to our book records in our title management system. That is being exported using the ONIX 3 <contentdetail> protocol. I don’t see that Amazon (for example) is making any use of that information. If you have TOC data in the ONIX you distribute, is anyone using it? and how?
