Linguistics Librarian List
This is an Awesome List (which is a Github culture thing) for resources for Linguistics Librarians and Archivists dealing with Language Artifacts. The list is designed to be shared and contributed to.
Purpose
There is no association for linguistic librarians, and no open association for archivists or institutional repository managers who focus on language materials. This list exists as a resource from linguists to linguistics librarians to help facilitate better communication. But it is also a list for archivists of language materials to be able to connect with archivists of other kinds of materials who deal with collections in similar mediums. And it is a list from linguistics librarians to other linguistics librarians to facilitate the exchange of knowledge about useful resources and tools to the linguistics librarian.
What is a resource? Not a language resource (like a grammar or a description of a specific language). This list avoids resources about specific languages. Rather for the purposes of this list, resources might be portals, or organizations, products (like special catalogues) or journals, mailing lists, re-occurring conferences, metadata specifications, file management tools, etc. Which linguistics librarians, special collections librarians, and archivists focused on language materials will find helpful in the course of their work (which for linguistic librarians would include directing linguists and language researchers to appropriate resources). For language archivists, who are often trained as linguists first and then land responsibilities as archivists, this list is designed to be a bridge and an introduction from one academic discipline (like linguistics) to be able to find out what is "normal" or "best practice" in another academic discipline (like preservation studies). Depending on the nature of the resource, some resources might be listed in multiple sections.
Additions
Please organize additions by section first and then alphabetical, within a section. Fork the list. Make additions in your copy then send a pull request for additions to be added to the main list. Contributors must agree with the license statement. Please add your name to the list of contributors and read the ReadMe about contributing. Still got questions? create an issue.
Sections are marked with ## in markdown code and contain a variety of sub-sections (marked with ####). The introduction of sub-sections is flexible and new ones are added as are needed for clarity (not every section will have all sub-sections). Some of these sub-sections include:
- Best practices: An industry standard or agreement on how to "properly" conduct an activity or to achieve results.
- Networks: Groups of people including professionals, which can be a resource as a community. Networks include links to societies, associations, and mailing lists.
- Policies: Any public facing business description of business practices.
- Services: A business function retuning and intangible commodity. See [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service(economics))_
- Journals: Academic and professional serial publications on a particular topic or subject. As a subsection these are journals which relate only to the section, not to linguistics in general. General linguistics and language related journals have their own full section.
- Projects: Specific endeavors which may be collaborative or undertaken by a single institution.
- Products: Specific things created and are usually sold. In this context products are typically software related, but may not always be software. Some products may be access to information, or subscription packages.
- Descriptive metadata: Metadata schemas which describe resources.
- Catalogues:
- Aggregators and index(ing) products: Products designed to be subscribed to by institutions, which grant access to a wide variety of resources like journals. Often these products contain actual resources where catalogues don't.
- Digital Tools: Software to complete a specialized task

Resources for digital archiving - Software Tools
Digital repositories
These tools are designed to do digital object and associated metadata management.
- Drupal - This is a very powerful general purpose CMS.
- DSpace
- EPrints - EPrints Bazaar(plugins)
- Fedora
- Islandora - This is a middleware product which sits between Fedora for content management, and Drupal for custom content presentations.
- Nabu - nabu is a digital media item management system that provides a catalog of audio and video items, metadata for these items, and information about the workflow status of the items.
Journal management systems
There are currently no known journal management systems which have an indexing function which allows for the OLAC metadata to be recorded per article submission. - Some further investigation is needed to determine if these CMS options create MARC records or if other kinds of indexing is still needed.
- OJS - Open Journal System
- BePress
- De Gruyter moved in 2013 to a new backbone press application for all of its journals.
- Cambridge Journals appears to also be a custom content management system.
- Some journals like Pacific Review of Ethnomusicology use WordPress. It is imagined that some journals also might try and use Drupal.
Digital showcases or display environments
These tools are designed to easily present visual interactions with archived collections. They are not designed to manage content and associated metadata in the same way that Digital Repository software does, rather display environments pull data from repositories and create interactions with it.
- Drupal - This is a very powerful general purpose CMS.
- EOPAS - Ethnographic E-Research Online Presentation System (EOPAS) for Interlinear Text (see it in action)
- Mukurtu - A Drupal 7 profile for managing content presented to communities. See review 1 & review 2

- PeerLibrary - Is a interactive layer on top of PDFs which allow for interactive discourse over printed literature.
- Scalar - Scalar is a CMS which allows users to create different "pathways" (in the sense that museums have pathways through displays) through content for learning.
- SCIENTIfic coLLaborative Archive Peer distributed network of metadata. Find out more on http://www.scientilla.net/
- Wordpress - This is a very usable medium powered CMS (when compared with the datatypes, and ease of usability that Drupal offers).
Submission managers

- Classic Mexican Cinema Online - 1902 to 1965 (Brill) - The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema is illuminated in this collection of popular movie periodicals. Not only does it include chief magazines such as Cinema Reporter (1943-1965) and Cine Mundial (1954-1955), it also features extremely rare copies of El Cine Gráfico from 1935 and of the weekly El Mundo Ilustrado (1902-1910). The true extent of the popularity of Mexican film is illustrated by Cinelandia (1931-1947), which was published in Hollywood both in Spanish and in English. This collection also includes dozens of film flyers, which were distributed on the streets to lure people into the cinema. Finally, for the first time this collection gives access to the personal scrap books of Fernando de Fuentes (1894-1958), one of the leading Latin-American filmmakers to this day. These volumes contain reviews, movie stills, programs, and advertisements, shedding a unique light on the career of this pioneering director. The sources in this collection, heretofore only accessible in the archives of the Filmoteca de la UNAM in Mexico City, will be invaluable to scholars and researchers working on film and media studies, Latin American studies, and many other aspects of the historical, social, and political impact of cinema.

Institutional repositories and special collections
Publishers
These publishers have significant portions of their businesses which focus on academic resources about linguistics, anthropology, language documentation, ethnobotany, ethnomusicology, ethno-arts, and minority language resources.
Other lists
This list
Major content delivery networks
These networks often are in the business of granting a variety of access types to academic audiences. Sometimes they are publishers, sometimes they are "archives" with access products provided to via subscription to institutions.
Journals
The study of language and linguistics covers a wide range of disciplines and sub-disciplines. Therefore a wide variety of journals may be listed as being "relevant to linguistics". A rough guess estimate is that there are about 2500 serials which are relevant to the study of language, linguistics, and culture (anthropology). The best way to introduce these journals would be to include a title, a topical area, a link to the publisher's mast head (or the archive's presentation) and an ISSN if they have one (so far examples have only included journal titles, links, and ISSN or E-ISSN). Note: Some links are to AJOL index pages rather than associational mast head websites. These should be corrected.

Organizations of interests in the archiving and preservation sphere (for linguistics and technical focus)
- British Library - The British Library in England and the UK serves a similar function as organizations like the Smithsonian or the Library of Congress in the United States. They have a keen interest in helping other organizations to preserve or digitize their collections, as evidenced through their grant programs. They also have experience in digitizing their own collections.
- Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative - a collaborative effort by federal agencies (of the United States of America) formed as a group in 2007 to define common guidelines, methods, and practices to digitize historical content in a sustainable manner.
- JISC - (Formerly the Joint Information Systems Committee.) A registered UK charity which champions the use of digital technologies in UK education and research. They have an active role in preservation and metadata developments. See more on Wikipedia.
- Library of Congress (U.S.) - The Library of Congress has extensive audio collections and is involved in many digitization projects. They host the ARSC mailing list which is a network of audio library curators and digitization specialists. They also host several resources on standards for archiving and describing collections.
- CDP - Colorado Digitization Program Digital Audio Working Group, CDP started out with the name Colorado Digitization Project, then in 2004 became the Collaborative Digitization Program. It is a collaborative effort between institutions (universities and museums) in the Western United States to support their mandates to provide access to and preserve their audio collections.
- European Broadcast Union - The EBU sets standards for data interoperability within the EU for data used within their domain (radio, audio transmissions, etc). As such they are a key stakeholder and decision maker for digital audio formats.
- PARADISEC - Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures, is an archive in Australia, and tied to the national university network which has pioneered digital access to media (especially audio). Much of their efforts have been lead by Nicholas Thieberger.
- SIL International - SIL International is a language development organization with over 80 years of history in linguistics, language development work, and Bible Translation. SIL staff over the years has worked with thousands of languages. SIL runs the Language and Culture Archive which among other things has large collections of audio materials in many languages.
- Sound Directions - Is an audio preservation through digitization company. It was founded in a cooperative venture between Indiana University Bloomington and Harvard University. They are considered the leaders in audio digitization for historical collections.
General archival organizations of interest
Metadata standards and schemas
This section highlights some metadata standards and schemas in common use and why they are important for the linguistics librarian, the special collections librarian and language archivist dealing with language artifacts, and the linguist.
- DCMI - This is the premier most widely accepted and used metadata standard for metadata exchange between organizations. The standard defines broad categories and allows for some variation within those categories.
-
OLAC - OLAC is commonly perceived as one or two of two things:
- a metadata standard/schema for interoperability of linguistic resource discovery metadata
- a web location for doing a search for materials in participation archives
Within the context of the metadata standard, OLAC builds upon DCMI and uses DCMI terms in addition to several extended vocabularies. OLAC is considered the best practice starting point for describing collections of linguistic and language related resources.
- ONIX-PL - an XML format for the communication of license terms for digital publications in a structured and substantially encoded form, designed to serve the interests of all parties in the licensing chain.
- ISO 639-3 - Metadata for languages.
- MARC21
- [MARCXML]

General
Catalogues vs. content
Just to be clear some datasets or content can be catalogued and that catalogue data can be OpenData. However, the actual data the catalogue references can be restricted behind content control mechanism.
OpenAccess
OpenAccess means that the content can be obtained without cost but what one can legaly do with the content after accessing it may be restricted in some way. Read more about OpenAccess here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access
OpenAccess and OpenData requirements
This section needs some clean up still
Cultural Appropriation
As of 19. March 2015 the only licenses we have found to address the issue of Cultural appropriation is the Free Culture License. They have some interesting points which may be of concern to various minority language using communities. However, for the sake of context their points will not be conveyed in this repo.
Creative Commons
Creative commons is a non-profit organization which helps promote open accesss and distribution to creative works using existing legal methods. It provides serveral standard licenses which Intelectual Property (IP) rights holders may use to give legal freedoms to users of their works. Generally Creative Commons licenses are insuficent for datasets and databases (consider reading the following: [1] [2] [3]. This is where OpenData requires separate licenses which legally attempt to provide the same freedoms to data users.
OpenData
OpenData requires separate licenses (than creative commons licenses) which legally attempt to provide the same freedoms to data users as creative commons licenses do for other kinds of works. More information is availible from the Open Data Commons. The Open Data Commons is a project of the Open Knowledge Foundation.
There are several organizations which are involved in the propgation and licensing of open data. Some of the highprofile ones are: the Open Knowledge Foundation, and the Open Data Foundation
