The Hydra Project is a large collaboration among many institutions sharing needs for open software digital repository solutions. Indiana University is a Hydra Partner, and as such, is both developing new Hydra "heads" and leveraging heads developed by other partners. In this presentation, we will describe the Hydra Project objectives, the primary components of the technology (Fedora, Solr, Blacklight), how the community collaborates, and the benefits of this collaboration. The Avalon Media System was our first Hydra-based project, but now we are also collaborating on a new institutional repository solution as well as a new "page turner" Hydra head for digitized paged media. The Hydra Partner community holds great promise for lower cost, tailorable digital repositories for libraries and archives.
This session provides a refresher on ideas to promote the NSSE survey administration on your campus. Presenters Cindy Ahonen and Katherine Wheatle, NSSE Project Associates, have compiled tips and creative examples to consider during the 2014 NSSE survey administration, offer reminders and strategies for new partners and stakeholders to involve in your survey promotion plan, and provide ways to maximize technology and social media to reach the most students.
How do you usefully combine digital repository, library catalog, and library web site data so researchers can discover and make use of the data in support of their research? This session discusses plans to combine IU Libraries' digital repository data with library catalog and IUB Libraries' web site data to create a Solr-indexed data source that preserves context and provides thorough, useful, and sharable access to the information, collections, and resources at the Indiana University Libraries.
Martha Moutoux Steffens shifted her focus after 30 years in newspapers to education, sharing her expertise with college students at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and with hundreds of professionals around the world looking to expand both their skills and their news organizations’ reach.
Her years in news equipped her for her second act in academia. Steffens was an editor and reporter at the Evansville Courier, the Dayton Daily News, the Orange County Register, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Minneapolis Star and the Los Angeles Times, where she was an editor on the business desk.
Later, she was executive editor of the Press & Sun Bulletin in Binghamton, N.Y. Steffens ended her newspaper career as executive editor of the San Francisco Examiner.
In 2002, she joined the University of Missouri as the Society of American Business Editors and Writers Endowed Chair, teaching business and financial journalism. Steffens’ interest in supporting journalism around the world led her to the Middle East to train journalists to cover elections, to Macedonia to train business journalists and to Saudi Arabia to conduct the first-ever training sessions for women journalists. To date, she has organized more than 100 workshops for journalists in 28 countries on topics from local business reporting to covering global financial markets.
Steffens has served on the boards of the Pew Center for Civic Journalism and CBS MarketWatch. Earlier this year, she was named to the executive board of the International Press Institute, an organization that seeks to monitor and support press freedom around the world. She is a member of journalism’s alumni board.
Steffens received the Society of American Business Editors and Writers President’s Award in 2013. She is co-author of Reporting Disaster on Deadline and author of the upcoming Dimension Reporting.

IU's Fedora digital repository houses thousands of digitized items including pages of text, photographs, puzzles, three-dimensional artifacts, prints, audio, and moving pictures. These items are made accessible either through silo-ed collection sites or as a certain type of digital object (like images or finding aids). But there is a larger corpus of the entire repository that should be shared for greater understanding, discoverability, and use. Exposing the metadata we have in our repository allows others to make use of it, offering different perspectives on our items and collections and combining our collections with other similar collections around the world. Join us for the latest on our work to reveal our digital collections as data feeds.

In 2009, he returned to the States as managing editor at The Washington Post, directing editorial teams that won four Pulitzer Prizes during his tenure. He also was responsible for content, staff and digital strategy for Washingtonpost.com as well as the Post’s mobile and tablet platforms.
In 2012, Narisetti rejoined The Wall Street Journal, where he led the digital network. He oversaw development of digital audiences, expanded social media reach and increased the organization’s global footprint in several new languages.
He moved to News Corp, WSJ’s parent company, in 2013.
In addition to his work, Narisetti has devoted time to organizations such as the South Asian Journalists Association, of which he’s a founding member. He is a trustee of the International Institute of Education, which administers global Fulbright fellowships, and the Scholar Rescue Fund. He was elected to three consecutive terms on the board of the World Editors Forum of the World Association of Newspapers.
