Managing Erp System Risk in SMEs: A Multiple Case Study
ERP systems are increasingly accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). If the potential benefits of these systems are significant, the same applies to the risk associated with their implementation. A number of authors emphasize that IS risk management is most effective when it is initiated at the earliest possible moment in the system's lifecycle, that is, at the adoption phase. But how do SMEs actually manage the risk of ERP implementation during the ERP adoption process? The research objectives are (1) to identify and describe the influence of the SMEs’ context on their implementation risk exposure, and (2) to understand whether and how, within the adoption process, SMEs actually manage the risk of implementing an ERP system supplied by an ERP vendor, with open source software, or through in-house development. In order to do so, four case studies of SMEs having implemented an ERP system were undertaken. The study shows that to manage risk at the adoption stage, SMEs can proceed in a rather intuitive, informal and unstructured manner, that is explicitly based however upon an architecture of basic principles, policies and practices.

Factors Affecting University Library Website Design
Existing studies have extensively explored factors that affect users’ intentions to use university library website resources (ULWR); yet little attention has been given to factors affecting university library website design. This paper investigates factors that affect university library website design and assesses the success of the university library website from both designers’ and users’ perspectives. The findings show that when planning a website, university web designers consider university guidelines, review other websites, and consult with experts and other divisions within the library; however, resources and training for the design process are lacking. While website designers assess their websites as highly successful, user evaluations are somewhat lower. Accordingly, use is low, and users rely heavily on commercial websites. Suggestions for enhancing the usage of ULWR are provided.

Selecting a Web Content Management System for an Academic Library Website
This article describes the selection of a web content management system (CMS) at the Ohio State University Libraries. The author outlines the need for a CMS, describes the system requirements to support a large distributed content model and shares the CMS trial method used, which directly included content provider feedback side-by-side with the technical experts. The selected CMS is briefly described.

Web Accessibility, Libraries, and the Law
With an abundance of library resources being served on the web, researchers are finding that disabled people oftentimes do not have the same level of access to materials as their nondisabled peers. This paper discusses web accessibility in the context of United States’ federal laws most referenced in web accessibility lawsuits. Additionally, it reveals which states have statutes that mirror federal web accessibility guidelines and to what extent. Interestingly, fewer than half of the states have adopted statutes addressing web accessibility, and fewer than half of these reference Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0. Regardless of sparse legislation surrounding web accessibility, librarians should consult the appropriate web accessibility resources to ensure that their specialized content reaches all.

Open card sorting and factor analysis: a usability case study
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe the process, analysis, results, and implications of a card sorting usability study conducted during the planning stages of a web site redesign project at the University of Illinois at Chicago.Design methodology approach - The methodology was based on recommendations from usability literature. An open card sort was conducted with 14 students and one faculty member using 93 cards labeled with content from the library's web site. The subjects were asked to \"think aloud\" and explain their rationale for sorting the cards. The researchers used statistical analysis software to run a factor analysis on the results.Findings - The researchers extracted 11 categories of cards that loaded together and 27 cards that did not fit a category. The categories showed evidence of clustering by shared words, format, and process or task. Cards that did not load were standalone categories, or were redundant or meaningless to the subjects.Research limitations implications - The open card sort methodology and large number of cards resulted in cumbersome data that required specialized analysis. The qualitative data were critical to the interpretation of the quantitative data.Practical implications - Libraries can use the process and analysis as a model for their own card sort usability studies. Results can be used to inform the naming of content and the creation of library web site architecture.Originality value - This study is unique in its use of the open card sort technique and factor analysis of the results. The results illustrate users' perceptions of library terminology and web site structure.

From Static and Stale to Dynamic and Collaborative: The Drupal Difference
In 2009, the University Library of the University of California, Santa Cruz, moved from a static, Dreamweaver- and HTML-created Web site to an entirely new database-driven Web site using the open-source content management system (CMS) Drupal. This article will describe the interdisciplinary approach the project team took for this large-scale transition process, with a focus on user testing, information architecture planning, user analytics, data gathering, and change management. The library created a core Web site Implementation Team consisting of a librarian project manager/developer, a Web designer from the IT department, and two librarian developers. Drupal implementation included developing a safe and effective means of moving from a testing environment to a final, public production site. Drupal's successful implementation was ultimately dependent on ensuring library staff would be able to create, edit, and manage thousands of library Webpages using this new CMS.

Re-engineering Archives: Business Process Management (BPM) and the Quest for Archival Efficiency
The twenty-first century provides new challenges and opportunities for professionals working in archives and special collections. One of the most exciting advances of the last decade has been the development of archival content management (ACM) systems that enable archivists to effectively manage information about their collections. Unfortunately, these systems have the unintended consequence of perpetuating the problem of backlogs by augmenting archivists' current fixation on processing as the solution. This article examines how business process management (BPM) can be used to better understand the archival business process and highlights the importance of taking a holistic approach to solving problems such as the backlog. It also looks at how concepts from BPM have the potential to improve ACM systems—particularly through the integration of workflow management.

Benign Neglect: Developing Life Rafts for Digital Content
In his keynote speech at the Archiving 2009 Conference in Arlington, VA, Clifford Lynch called for the development of a benign neglect model for digital preservation, one in which as much content as possible is stored in whatever manner available in hopes of there someday being enough resources to more properly preserve it. This is an acknowledgment of current resource limitations relative to the burgeoning quantities of digital content that need to be preserved. In contrast, other leaders of the digital preservation movement have been stating for years that benign neglect is not a workable solution for digital materials. Clifford Lynch pointed out, funding cutbacks at the sub-federal level are destroying access and preservation of government records; corporate records are winding up in the trash; news is lost daily; and personal and cultural heritage materials are disappearing.
