102. Hypershelf: A Multidimensional Browser for Exploring Content Across the Library (1:00:18)

Date:
2016-08-31
Main contributors:
Allen, Colin, Murdock, Jaimie
Summary:
Research libraries continue to reinvent themselves in the face of increasing demand from users for digitized texts. As physical books move from stacks to deep storage, many researchers lament the reduction in the serendipitous discovery that was provided by browsing the stacks. We believe, however, that digitization offers even greater opportunities for guided serendipity. Developments in machine learning and computing at scale allow content-based models of library collections to be made accessible to patrons. In this talk, we will present a vision for the future of library browsing using the Topic Explorer ‰ÛÏHypershelf‰Û that we have developed for digital collections. It allows users to jump into the collection and browse nearby volumes, rearranging them at will according to topics extracted computationally from the full texts. We will demonstrate the Hypershelf in action, and discuss how it might be integrated with physically-shelved books. This vision enhances rather than supplants the traditional librarians' function of guiding patrons to the best starting points for their research needs.

Summary:
Ken Beckley has had a storied career in journalism, marketing and public relations since graduating from IU with a degree in radio-television in 1962. Beckley served as news reporter and anchor in Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Asheville, North Carolina. He and co-anchor Howard Caldwell formed one of the first two-man anchor teams in Indiana, and they were a top-rated team at WRTV in Indianapolis. After 14 years on the air, Beckley decided to step away from television news to spend more time with his family. He became the first director of university relations for IUPUI in 1977. In 1983, his career took another turn. Beckley became vice president of marketing for Indiana-based appliances and electronics retailer H.H. Gregg. He was the face and voice of the company on radio and television commercials for nearly 18 years. He retired as executive vice president at H.H. Gregg in 2001 and was appointed president and CEO of the Indiana University Alumni Association, after volunteering for the organization and IU for more than 30 years. During his tenure from 2002 to 2007, he cultivated unprecedented growth in the association, with significant increases in membership and the establishment of the $9 million Jerry F. Tardy Operating Endowment. Beckley retired from the IU Alumni Association in 2007, then embarked on yet another use of his writing skills. After reporting on the facts for decades, he fulfilled a years-long goal to write fiction. His first novel, Knuckleball: The Uncertainties of (a) Life, was well received when it was published in 2012. His success inspired him to write his second novel, An Act of Frustration, published in 2016. Beckley has received countless awards for excellence in his career and for his service to communities throughout Indiana. Among his awards are IU’s Distinguished Alumni Service Award, the Indiana University President’s Medal for Excellence and the IUPUI Maynard K. Hine Medal. Beckley is a member of the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame, where he has served as president. He is a past vice president of the Indianapolis Press Club. He is a charter member of The Media School’s Dean’s Advisory Board. Ken and his wife, Audrey, recently made a gift to The Media School to support the installation of the new television studio in Franklin Hall. The Ken and Audrey Beckley Studio serves as a facility for broadcast production classes and workshops, as well as the student-run station IUSTV.

How might a collection like this available through the Semantic Web help researchers? This talk does not have all of the answers but we do have a story to share involving Cushman, OpenRefine, and RDF.

In this interview, Shanahan will ask McGibbon about the development of the play, how original pronunciation works and the challenges for both the actors involved and McGibbon as a director

177. One, Two (09:38)

Date:
2016
Main contributors:
Lasater, Michael (artist)
Summary:
One, Two is a self-portrait. The image of me as a boy is split left and right, one side the echo of the other. In the audio, a single claves strike, doubled at the octave, mirrors the visual motif. The video, developing in multiple planes, and the audio, mirroring that development in multiple voices, express a time object – a moment continuously redefined – unified by its genesis in a single image, a single sound. One, Two is composed in Bogen (arch) form, a musical architecture. The piece begins in unity, develops to maximum complexity at mid-point, then resolves again to unity at the end. –Michael Lasater

Date:
2016-09-14
Main contributors:
Indiana Disability History Project
Summary:
“We were scratching our heads saying, this is wrong. This isn't the right way to do it, but I'm not sure what the right way is,” describes Patrick Sandy of his experience with the Deinstitutionalization Project at the Developmental Training Center (DTC) in Bloomington, Indiana in the 1970s. The project brought residents of Muscatatuck State Hospital and Training Center to the DTC to live and find opportunities for community participation. After seeing individuals with disabilities have no control, choice or variety in their life, Patrick changed his focus in college to disabilities. When Patrick first started working in day services, it was just a place to warehouse people. There were few planned activities during the day. President/CEO Easterseals Crossroads in Indianapolis when he was interviewed in 2016, Patrick believes day services are evolving. There is more effort to figure out what the individual with a disability wants to achieve in the community. Patrick believes parents and university research drove the supported employment movement. Although in Indiana, he feels parents were apprehensive at first. Patrick discusses some of the current challenges facing supported employment and possible solutions. He describes Employment First and Vocational Rehabilitation’s funding of the discovery phase in assisting people find better job matches. Patrick was asked to share some stories about Steve Savage, his close friend who was executive director of the Arc of Greater Boone County when he died in 2015. “He got involved in the industry when he was in college… When I think about what he brought, first of all, he brought the Savage enthusiasm to the industry. And by that I mean he was just full of energy and didn't take no for an answer. He was just one of these people that could push things forward and he did it in a way where he would make people laugh, he'd engage people as friends,” says Patrick.
