IU Libraries Dina Kellams and Michelle Crowe join Jim and Janae to talk about Indiana University holiday facts, traditions, and more. This episode marks the end of season 1 of Through the Gates.
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 ‰ÛÃHypershelf‰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.
Supercomputers are designed to use a command line interface and batch processing system. This means users accustomed to modern graphical interfaces must overcome a steep learning curve when switching to supercomputers. Learn how UITS Research Technologies is tackling this problem using a new graphical interface for the Karst supercomputer. Participants will have the opportunity to test the service after the presentation on their laptop/desktop devices.
Abhinav Thota is a Principal Engineer in the Research Technologies division of UITS/PTI. He is part of the Scientific Applications and Performance Tuning (SciAPT) team and helps users efficiently use HPC resources at IU.
This workshop will provide an overview of human subjects research and submitting an application through the KC IRB system. Representatives from the IU Human Subjects Office will provide a brief introduction to human subjects research, then focus the remaining time on learning how to navigate the IU IRB process.
Sara Benken is an Associate Director in the IU Human Subjects Office. Adam Mills and Andrew Neel are Research Compliance Associates in the IU Human Subjects Office.
Python is a widely used, general purpose programming language. This workshop will introduce the basic elements of Python that are commonly used for data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and other applications. Participants will also learn how to set up a "development environment" for Python on their personal computer. Computers with Python pre-loaded are also available in the SSRC on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to programming. No experience is required.
Web scraping is a method of extracting and restructuring information from web pages. This workshop will introduce basic techniques for web scraping using the popular Python libraries BeautifulSoup and Requests. Participants will practice accessing websites, parsing information, and storing data in a CSV file. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to web scraping but have some familiarity with Python or have attended the Intro to Python workshop.

Summary:
Jack Rodibaugh and his family operate a hog business where they produce swine for breeding, market and 4-H youth. Rodibaugh's career began when his uncle gave him two piglets during the Depression. While he admits that he did not know much about pigs those first few years, he learned from older farmers and has spent the last 63 years perfecting breeding stock and competing at the State Fair. Today, he and his family encourage the tradition by producing and selling quality hogs to 4-H youth.
This week, we’ll hear from Eileen Julien, IU professor of comparative literature and director of IU’s Institute for Advanced Study.
Julien is also co-director of “Arts of Survival: Recasting Lives in African Cities,” a three-week summer institute that has brought together 22 faculty and three graduate students from universities and colleges across the U.S. The institute is hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study on the IU Bloomington campus and is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Julien, who is author of “Travels with Mae: Scenes from a New Orleans Girlhood,” is bringing a personal touch to “Arts of Survival” by loaning part of a collection of Mardi Gras regalia to the Mathers Museum of World Cultures for an exhibit beginning July 12. Public readings and films will also be offered during the institute, and the group will travel to New Orleans to examine the intersection of contemporary urban culture art with the political and social structures embedded in the city.
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. The studio features cutting edge technology, allowing students to learn and work with the most up-to-date equipment, thanks to the Beckleys’ generosity.
