Working with What You Got: Creating a Re-Use Database with Existing Tools in the Age of Covid
Lindsay Skay Whitacre, Felipe Estrada-Prada
Harvard University Graduate School of Education, United States of America
 
The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) launched an initiative to improve discoverability and re-use of course-based digital resources. Led by Gutman Library, it required collaboration and consensus-building. This centralized system would support units across the school and allow instructors to identify, re-use, and integrate digital learning objects into courses.

Analyzing Discoverability in an MPLP World: How Levels of Description Impact Findability
Paul Daybell, Andrea Payant, Liz Woolcott, Becky Skeen, Anna-Maria Arnljots, Kurt Meyer
Utah State University Libraries, United States of America
 
Libraries and archives have differing opinions on how much effort to put into content description. Yet, descriptive practices meant to reduce processing time and increase exposure to collections can have unintended impacts on long-term user discovery. This project tests minimal and full description to determine the effects on discoverability.
