Short 24x7 presentation at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana, in session P5A: Building the Perfect Repository.
Metadata standards at Indiana University are well-established for many of our digital library collections. These standards have been expressed, for the most part, using XML - it's easy to store, easy to read, easy to update, and easy to share. Newer forms of digital library technology, however, are expanding/enhancing the way that data is stored with and about digital objects, using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to construct relationships, descriptions, and digital objects that are more semantically connected to the web. This new way of standardizing metadata has presented many challenges: introducing a new model midway through projects, migrating content from older models to RDF models, and figuring out in general what it means to use an RDF model for digital library collections.
This talk will discuss what has happened in the IU digital libraries with RDF to-date and the challenges and opportunities from this work.

The genesis of Mise-en-scène is the Stravinsky/Cocteau treatment of Oedipus Rex, first performed in 1927. I have been familiar with this composition from many encounters, including performances as a member of the Aspen Festival Orchestra, and later studying it along with Stravinsky's Persephone in David Diamond’s class in twentieth-century music at Juilliard. I was struck by Stravinsky’s intended mise-en-scène in which the soloists stand immobile in a niched frieze, a two-dimensional proscenium. I also loved his choice of Latin as a means of arresting the Oedipus story in stone –– a text as much ritual and object as narrative –– and his intentional use of so many stylistic references –– a Dada collage. In Mise-en-scène my personae ––Creon, Iocasta and Oedipus –– are set immobile in a triptych, a flat, painterly proscenium. I’ve written Latin texts as one might write lines for a libretto, but I do not intend that these texts be read as narrative. Instead, I’ve treated the texts as visual objects like the partial Latin inscriptions one sees on temple ruins. In Oracula, the text flows by so rapidly that it is all but unreadable. In Timeo and Ecce, the text is glimpsed in fragments –– one can discover shards of the Oedipus narrative, and if one knows the story, one can close the rest of the drama. The panels--three sketches--serve the same function. –Michael Lasater
In “Monsters of the Economic: Inequality, Fear, and Loathing in America”, Folbre examines the trend toward extreme income inequality within the U.S. and the global economy as a whole is clear. But the numbers don’t reveal the emotional consequences of this information. The threat of downward mobility and economic insecurity generates fear and loathing, increases vulnerability to political manipulation, and impedes our ability to work together to solve important economic problems—including, paradoxically, the problem of extreme inequality itself. This presentation flushes out some of the monsters lurking behind economic policy debates, many of which have been projected onto a vivid cultural screen portraying conflicts between vampire and zombie, robot and werewolf, superhuman and subhuman. Which should we ordinary mortals fear the most?
What constitutes a meaningful difference in your NSSE results? With large samples it is common for very small differences to be statistically significant. That's why effect sizes, which provide a measure of "practical" significance, are so important. Based on a recent analysis of statistical comparisons of Engagement Indicators and High-Impact Practices, we have derived new recommendations for interpreting small, medium, and large effect sizes. In this webinar, we will explain our recommendations and invite participants to consider their use with their NSSE results.
In her four-decade career at major metropolitan newspapers, Myrna Oliver covered beats from general assignment to civil and criminal court cases to celebrity obituaries, carving a niche for herself at a time when few women were making marks in newspaper journalism and, later, when the industry itself began shrinking its newsroom staffs.
Born in Bloomington and brought up in Ellettsville, Indiana, Oliver spent most of her youth aspiring to be a lawyer. At IU, she studied journalism and served as editor of both the Arbutus and the Indiana Daily Student. During her senior year at IU, she still was considering law school. Journalism professor Chris Savage encouraged Oliver to apply for a fellowship to Syracuse University for a master’s degree in journalism, and, lacking finances to attend law school, Oliver applied and was accepted.
With her master’s degree in hand, Oliver spent 14 months as an assistant press secretary and speechwriter for U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh. After that, she spent about a year at The Indianapolis News. She was assigned to the women’s department, but fashioned a beat for herself following women in politics.
In 1968, Oliver headed west to work at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, where she covered the trials of Charles Manson and Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. Four years later, she accepted a job as the civil courts reporter for the Los Angeles Times, where she would remain until her retirement in 2006. While civil courts may not receive the attention and infamy of criminal courts, Oliver said in an in an interview that she loved it. She reported on cases concerning First Amendment issues and on civil rights cases about issues such as gay rights.
After 15 years at the Times, Oliver transitioned from court reporting to writing obituaries. While working as a legal affairs reporter, she sat near the obituary writer, who was overwhelmed with work the day Muppets creator Jim Henson died. Oliver volunteered to write the obituary, which ran on the front page. She would go on to write the obituaries of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, actor and singer Gene Autry and composer Leonard Bernstein, among others. But she applied her distinctive style of telling life stories to the little-known as well as celebrities.
When she looks back, Oliver said she considers how she had to endure through the challenges of the newspaper industry, including being a woman in what used to be a man’s world. When she started at the LA Times, there was no women’s restroom on the newsroom floor.
Oliver also said civil court judges were less than welcoming when she began her beat at the Times. When judges were unwilling to talk to her, however, she would persevere by reading every piece of paperwork about the trial. She said in an interview that if she couldn’t get the story one way, she’d do it another.
Do you have data from the new Senior Transitions Topical Module? Interested in administering these items in the future? NSSE Analysts Angie Miller and Amber Dumford offer some insights on this popular 2015 module during this pre-recorded webinar. They provide a background on the rationale and development of the module, an in-depth look at the content, and highlight some intriguing findings from the aggregate data. Several suggestions for looking at data on your own campus are included as well, to help you get the most from customizing your NSSE participation with this valuable Topical Module.
This webinar highlights how CIC member institutions can make the most of their updated NSSE results; considers ways to use campus results to accentuate institutional distinctiveness, explore retention, and feature accreditation self-studies; and explores member questions about NSSE reports and online tools for additional report creation.
Kuali Open Library Environment is the first Library Management System designed by and for academic and research libraries. Focused on the management and delivery intellectual information, it's being built by a community of higher education partners working together and supporting each other. In this discussion we'll review the LMS itself as well as a quick demonstration of the base application. Additionally we'll talk about where Kuali OLE is with its current release, where Kuali OLE is with current implementations, where Kuali OLE is going with future releases. Discussion will include the progress and lessons learned thus far using this application.
