Introduction and scope edit

The glossary is the sister project of the Open Culture/GLAM Zotero Group Library – an ongoing participatory effort to co-create a bibliography of resources (literature and other media) relating to Open Culture/GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums). The co-creation and enrichment of the bibliography is also a project that started in 2022 by Working Group: Open GLAM Resources of the Creative Commons Open Culture Platform with the intention:

  • to be a starting point for researchers, students, educators, professionals, and anyone else seeking information about open access to cultural heritage.
  • to serve as a long-lasting resource for exploring past and present, dominant and emerging topics relating to the GLAM sector, the digital shift, and the Open Culture/GLAM movement.

About the resources edit

About the publishing platform edit

We are using Zotero as a publishing platform because:

Open invitation to contribute edit

We are inviting the open community to contribute to the creation and enrichment of this bibliography by adding literature and other media that fall within its scope. If you are unfamiliar with Zotero, or unsure what to add or how to add it, we have prepared some guides below.

You can view the bibliography here. Please note that, in order to add resources, you will need to create a Zotero account, and follow the steps below.

How to use Zotero edit

How to join the Open Culture/GLAM Resources Zotero Group and start contributing edit

  1. Make a free Zotero account.
  2. [Until further notice] Access the group library by emailing the 2022 working group co-leads, Jesse Carson (jpcarson@ualberta.ca) and/or Revekka Kefalea (kefalea@interaliaproject.com), and they will send you an invitation to join.
  3. Start adding resources to the group library by:
    1. Using the Zotero Connector plugin to add resources (Zotero Connector tutorial).
    2. Adding resources by ISBN, DOI, or other identifiers (ISBN tutorial and DOI tutorial).
    3. Importing an .RIS file (RIS tutorial).
  4. Add tags to the resources you add:
    1. Please, add at least three tags to your submission (adding tags tutorial).
    2. You can use existing tags, or create new ones if a relevant one does not already exist (see guidelines below).
    3. Edit/expand the metadata for your submission:
      1. If you would like, please review the metadata for your submissions and edit or expand it as needed (editing metadata tutorial).
      2. For example, if there is a spelling error in an author’s name, an author is missing, or if the article title is in all caps, you can edit this to make the entry more accurate.

Note: Please check the bibliography to see if the resources you want to add are already there before adding them.

Guidelines for adding resources and tagging edit

  • Please, do not delete any resources or tags not added by you.
  • When you add a resource, please, add as much information as possible, and at least 3 tags.
  • If you need to create a new tag, please write it in English, and use (maximum) 4 words. If the tag you want to create has “or”, “and” or “of”, probably it means you should use two separated tags.
  • Use of capitalization in tags: Only the first letter of the first word is capitalized – e.g. “Open access”.
    • Exceptions:
      • Proper names get each first letter capitalized – e.g. “Latin America”.
      • Languages are all caps – e.g. “ENGLISH”.
      • Countries are all caps – e.g. “UNITED KINGDOM”.
  • Pluralization of tags: Prefer pluralizing tags, because in this way each tag implies many resources and many perspectives.
  • Tag “Audio / video file”: Only audio and video files receive a tag about resource format for accessibility reasons.
  • If you automatically add resources (e.g. via a URL or DOI), please double-check certain key metadata such as title, author(s), URL, DOI, item type etc., and fix any mistakes to ensure accuracy and discoverability.
  • Prefer giving a DOI link. If it doesn’t exist, be sure the link you are providing is functional.
  • Before adding an online resource (e.g. blog post, news announcement), check if it is up-to-date or not. Also, prefer adding (links to) primary sources, since these are usually the most up-to-date ones. If you want to add a repost or a resource summarizing and directing to other resources, ask yourself "what informational value does this resource have?" If the resource is just a blog post that links to other sites, then we may not need to add that blog post, just the resources it links to. The goal is not to index all mentions of Open Culture/GLAM, but to gather resources that provide information.
  • There are resources saved in the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive that are outdated, but important to have them in our library, because they don't exist anywhere else on the web – e.g. Google Arts and Culture: The GLAM sector experience survey.
  • If the resource is available in many languages, please, add the English version as the main information, and the other languages in the tab “Attachments”. Add the tags of all the available languages to this resource. Please DO NOT create one entry for each language.
  • (Optional) If you would like, in the notes section, please, add why you think this resource should be included in the bibliography.

Note: Please, bear in mind that you cannot add any attachments. File storage has been disabled due to limited storage capacity and to avoid copyright infringement.
