“…That scholars actively undertake collection development activities as a normal method for furthering their research seems incontrovertible [3,8,10,11,12]. While the preceding authors all speak in terms of research collections, it is also clear from their accounts that a great deal of curatorial effort is produced by scholars as they assemble their research collections.…”

The HathiTrust Digital Library (HTDL) is a digital library containing about 14 million volumes which comprise billions of pages of content. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is a collaborative research initiative jointly led by Indiana University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This paper describes the development of a collections data model by the Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis project, a HTRC research initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The resulting HTRC Workset data model is designed to aid humanities scholars by helping them to describe selected portions of the HTDL corpus that serve as the objects of their research. The resulting worksets are persistent, citable, and can be assessed by other scholars for reuse in additional research processes.

“…To succeed at their jobs, museum professionals need to be comfortable with handling information representations of museum artifacts (Cameron, 2003;Rayward, 1998), developing organization schemas for storing and providing access to museum records (Coburn & Baca, 2004;Perkins, 2001), and using collections management systems (Blackaby, 1997;Hamma, 2004b;Lynch, 2002). The principles and practices of information resource management in museums are well documented (Orna & Pettitt, 1998).…”

This article presents results from a survey designed to assess the relevance of library and information science (LIS) expertise-here defined as those topics typically, but not exclusively, taught in LIS programs-for museum professionals. The topics covered in this article are information representation, information organization and access, information management, computer technologies, digitization technologies, interactive technologies, information policy, evaluation methods, and collaboration initiatives. An online survey assessed the degree to which museum professionals possess skills in these topics, perform work in these topics, and consider these topics important for future study. The article examines the relative value of each topic for museum professionals, and discusses the importance of strengthening relationships between LIS and museum studies by better understanding the relevance of LIS expertise in museums. KeywordsMuseum informatics; museum information professionals; library and information science education.
