- Summary:
- Journalism is innate in Craig Klugman, longtime editor of the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Journal Gazette. “In my life, about the only thing that came easily to me was newspaper journalism,” he said of his career. Born in 1945 in Fargo, North Dakota, well before the middle-of-nowhere town had any weight to its name, Klugman graduated from IU in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and political science. He was hired as a copy editor at the Chicago Sun-Times after graduation, and later went on to serve as telegraph editor, news editor, city editor and assistant managing editor for features. He left the Sun-Times for Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, where he taught as an assistant professor from 1978-79. He went on to serve as director of undergraduate studies from 1979-82. After leaving Medill in 1982, Klugman returned to the state of his alma mater, where he would dedicate the next decades of his life not only to local communities, but to the benefit of Indiana journalism as a whole. He stepped onto the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette as editor in 1982, where he worked for 33 years before his retirement from the paper in late 2015. Under his leadership, the paper won numerous state and national awards, which include the Hoosier State Press Association’s Blue Ribbon Newspaper of the Year award. Journal Gazette publisher Julie Inskeep once wrote that Klugman has remained dedicated through his career to embracing the growth of media, and even to following its growth into uncharted territory. In 1998, Klugman helped produce and distribute a revolutionary seven-newspaper investigative series on abuses of Indiana’s public access laws. The series, called “The State of Secrecy,” ran simultaneously in all seven of the participating papers and ultimately resulted in the creation of the Indiana Public Access Counselor’s Office. The format has since been used by newspapers in more than 20 states. Klugman serves on the IU Publications Board, which selects editors for IU student media publications. He chaired the Freedom of Information, International and Content committees for the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and even served a year as the editor of the society’s magazine. In 2001, he joined other distinguished journalists and public officials for “Getting it Right,” a Franklin College symposium on accuracy in the media. In 2004, he was awarded the Hoosier Intellectual Freedom Award from the Indiana Library Federation for challenging censorship throughout his career. He also received a Distinguished Service Award from the Hoosier State Press Association, which recognized his work on more than 20 years of service with HSPA committees. Those included the Newsroom Seminar and Freedom of Information committees. He was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 2009. Throughout his career, Klugman has remained dedicated not only to contributing to his field, but also to bettering it. His work on freedom of the press and freedom of information advocacy exemplifies his career-long affinity for journalism and his will to advance it for all. “So what have newspapers meant to me?” he asked. “My life, probably.”

- Summary:
- Job-seeking for folklorists can be daunting. In this forum, chaired and moderated by a member of the AFS Graduate Student Section, a group of representatives from the Archives and Libraries, Folklore and Museums, Independent Folklorists’, and Public Programs sections will discuss jobs in their respective fields and answer career-related questions from attendees. The discussion will not have a formalized agenda but will instead take its direction from audience inquiries. Moreover, the forum format allows for two-way conversation; veteran folklorists will themselves have the opportunity to hear directly from job-seekers about the challenges presented by the 21st-century job market and come away with new ideas to improve hiring processes.

- Summary:
- Though born in Indiana, Kathy Rucker traveled around the world, following her father during his naval duty in the submarine service. When she was sixteen her family returned to Indianapolis. Throughout those young years there was one constant—Kathy was always dancing. She recalls, “I was either dancing with the cabinet, dancing with the refrigerator handle, dancing in my room— dancing all over the house.” Years later she would study square dancing and round dancing but clogging “caught her eye” when she saw a group performing at a local festival. So, she began taking clogging classes on the southside of Indianapolis and soon discovered that she was “pretty good at it.” “Why would you want to start clogging when you are forty?” some asked her, but Kathy recognized that it was fun way to exercise, and to meet people. Eventually, several fellow students suggested to her that instead of driving all the way to the southside to take lessons, they could clog with Kathy at her eastside home. What began as a small group, soon outgrew her garage. Before long, she started teaching classes for older adults. First one, then a second, but as quickly as she added a new session, it filled. Finally, she was up to teaching twenty-one classes each week. As she jokes, “It keeps the body in shape… it keeps the body tired.” To fuel her teaching, Kathy traveled around the country taking clogging and dance workshops and classes, in addition to learning how to dance better, these experiences also taught her how to be a better teacher. She explains, “You can be a great dancer and a lousy teacher, and you can be an average dancer and a great teacher. I was going for the great teacher, I didn’t care if I was a superb dancer, I just wanted to teach someone how to do what I love to do.” In 1995, Kathy volunteered to manage a small dance stage at the Indiana State Fair. That first year, the crowds wanting to see clogging were so big that it blocked the roadway and the fair shuttles could not pass. To accommodate the popularity of the dance stage, the fair moved it several times to larger and better locations. Today, the dance stage is located in Celebration Park and has grown to as big as it can get at the fair. Throughout the run of the fair, the stage features a variety of dance groups, and serves as a great promotional tool for dancing groups around the region. Two of Kathy’s groups, The Circle City Cloggers and Still Kickin, are regular acts at the fair; performing several times each week. While the Circle City Cloggers consist of dancers from their teens on up, Still Kickin is for older adults, 55 and older. The idea of an older adults group emerged when several of the members of the Circle City group felt the routines were getting too hard on them. Kathy too was getting older but recognized the elders desire to continue clogging. While some are alumni of the Circle City group, others are older women and men who didn’t start dancing until they were in their sixties or seventies. Kathy also teaches line dancing in the Indianapolis area. One of her groups, the Heritage Place Ladies of the Dance is a group of older African American women who love to dance. They dance to classic Motown as well as more contemporary popular music. Kathy started the class nearly twenty-five years ago, and several of the original dancers are still with the group. Odessa Higginson, the “elder of the club” is 92-year-old, explains “I love dancing, and I intend to keep dancing as long as I can keep moving.” For several years, Kathy taught twenty-one dance classes each week, but as she got older she slowly pared them down to the ten groups that she teaches today. At 73, she explains that dancing is more than a hobby or a job for her. It literally saved her life. She explains, “I’ve had cancer twice, and the doctors told me that if I hadn’t been so physically fit I wouldn’t have made it. I credit dancing with saving my life…I will probably continue to clog until I can’t lift my foot anymore!” Kathy and the Indiana State Fair have fostered a wonderful network of dancing clubs throughout the greater Indianapolis area. Kathy teaches the class and organizes the groups, and the fair helps promote the benefits of dance through its dance stage. Nevertheless, Kathy Rucky has made an incredible contribution to the cultural vitality and the health and wellness of all the communities in which she works.

- “I was learning something about that Title and how we could apply it to the community in which we lived in and how it can help people's lives.” When the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) passed, Betty Williams wanted to learn more about how the new law could help people with disabilities become equal members of their community. She arranged monthly meetings with an expert to discuss the legislation. “Every time I went in I was learning. I was learning a new Title each time,” recalls Betty. She is an award-winning leader in the self-advocacy movement, having served as president of both Self-Advocates of Indiana and the national organization Self-Advocates Becoming Empowered. The interview was recorded at the 2009 Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities Conference.

- “You don’t have the right to deny them the opportunity to try this.” Mary Lou Melloy's daughter, Cindy, was born in 1958. Doctors told the family they should put Cindy in a residential facility. Mary Lou and her husband, Don, had other plans for their daughter. In this clip, Mary Lou discusses the work it took to get Cindy accepted into public school. After completing school in Indianapolis, Cindy went to a workshop for a while until she landed a community job. Although Mary Lou was initially hesitant about a community job, in the end she said it was a wonderful opportunity for her daughter. Mary Lou started encouraging other parents to let go of their fears and give their children the opportunity to find a job in the community. She was interviewed in 2017.

- Summary:
- “They asked me to work on the objective of developing an Arc in every county in Indiana,” says Don Melloy. Don would take off after to work to travel around the state meeting with parents and community members. He would discuss the benefits of establishing a local Arc. To Don’s surprise, he found some groups of parents were not interested in talking with other groups of parents. The original focus of The Arc was to provide programming to children with disabilities who were excluded from public schools. Don says the United Way and other non-profit organizations were instrumental in funding many of the early initiatives of the local Arc agencies.

- “When I was young I knew nothing about any legislative activities or laws that would allow an individual with a disability to have any kind of civil rights because I stayed in several nursing homes and at that time, there were no patients' rights,” states Karen Vaughn. In 2009, Karen Vaughn visited the Story Tent at the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities conference and shared what she learned when she attended Partners in Policymaking and Disabilities Rights Education Defense Fund training in 1992. She took that information and assisted state parks with their ADA compliance plans.

- Summary:
- In 1997, WISH-TV secretly filmed resident abuse by employees inside New Castle State Developmental Center in New Castle, Indiana. The impact of making the disturbing, hidden camera footage public was the closure of the Center in 1998. Channel 8, the Indianapolis station affiliated with CBS, broadcast their footage as part of a series of seven investigative reports aired between May 5 and May 13, 1997. Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon visited the Center the day after the first TV report. An AP news article published May 7 said that the Governor was "outraged." "If you had loved ones in one of these state facilities you'd be worried about them." "No citizen's tax dollars should be paying for abuse and not care." Two employees had been fired before the report aired, and three workers suspended. Portions of the WISH-TV reports were broadcast nationally by CBS news with anchor Dan Rather. Originally known as the Indiana Village for Epileptics, the institution opened in 1907 on 1300 acres in rural Henry County. Although its purpose was to serve patients with convulsive disorders, the mission later broadened to include intellectual and other disabilities. This is a video of the second WISH-TV news report about abuse at the New Castle State Developmental Center, broadcast on May 6, 1997. It is included in the Indiana Disability History Project collection with permission of the station.

- Summary:
- “It's an interesting question to ask, how I got interested in the field of disability services,” states Dr. Mary Ciccarelli. When Dr. Ciccarelli began her training in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s, there was little specific attention paid to disabilities. As an internist and pediatrician, Dr. Ciccarelli found it harder to accommodate all her patients. Other pediatricians, who took care of youth with special health care needs, were transitioning patients to her practice. She decided she needed to find a better way of doing things. As a result, Dr. Ciccarelli collaborated with IPIN, Indiana Parent Information Network, on a pilot project funded by Indiana Maternal Child Health to develop transition services for youth with disabilities. “I think there's better methods today than there were in the late '70's,” explains Dr. Ciccarelli. Today, the Indiana School of Medicine curriculum includes training on the culture of disability, rights of people with disabilities, and teaming with other professionals. Dr. Ciccarelli says, “I think we'll see evolution and improvement, I hope, in the readiness of our graduates in caring for people with disabilities." Dr. Ciccarelli is a Professor of Clinical Medicine and Clinical Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. She is director of the Center for Youth and Adults with Conditions of Childhood (CYACC), which provides resources to youth ages 11 to 22 with special health care needs. She was interviewed in 2018.

- “It was my time to play my part in the circle of life.” On June 13, 2018, Jamie Beck became the first person in Indiana to have her guardianship terminated and a Supported Decision-Making agreement put in place. Jamie had been adjudged as incapacitated eight years prior. With no parent living, Dan Stewart, president of Achieva Resources Corp., Inc., was appointed as her permanent legal guardian. Jamie was placed in a nursing home. By the time the Wayne County Superior Court judge granted her petition, 28 year-old Jamie was employed in Muncie and living in an apartment with a roommate. In this interview excerpt, Jamie and Dan discuss the process and the challenges leading up to Jamie’s historic accomplishment. Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate Enrolled Act 380 into law on April 24, 2019. The law recognizes Supported Decision-Making Agreements as a valid way for someone to demonstrate decision-making capacity in Indiana and requires Supported Decision-Making and other less restrictive alternatives to be considered before the court will appoint a guardian. “I believe I am capable of doing it on my own, but with help,” Jamie told the judge. She and Dan were interviewed on October 25, 2018.

Dr. Ciccarelli discusses the challenges families face when moving from pediatric to adult care. It can be frightening for parents to let go and support their children to become more autonomous in making health care decisions. As a person moves from pediatric care to adult health care services, there may be a need to redefine the individual’s care team. In addition, billing codes and language in mental health services differs between pediatrics and the adult service system. “How do we improve healthy opportunities for persons with disabilities in our state?” Dr. Ciccarelli talks about her experience working with Special Olympics of Indiana athletes. For the past few years, she has assisted with providing health-screenings for the athletes at the State Games. Dr. Ciccarelli discusses the need to educate people with disabilities and caregivers on how to live healthier lives. To better serve patients with disabilities, Dr. Ciccarelli describes the training IU medical students receive. “I think there's better methods today than there were in the late '70's,” Today, the Indiana School of Medicine curriculum includes training on the culture of disability, rights of people with disabilities, and teaming with other professionals.

- "She shouldn't have to be put on a bus and spend 45 minutes on a bus one way to go to school," explains Pat Howey of her daughter's experience at six years old being sent to a school for children with physical disabilities. Pat discusses her educational advocacy for her daughter in the late 1980s in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. She shares how those experiences lead her to become a nationally known special education advocate and consultant. Pat says, “I first got involved in special education advocacy pretty much the day my daughter entered kindergarten.” During her daughter’s school years, Pat helped build a strong advocacy movement in Tippecanoe County. “We were able to make a lot of changes. We had people filing state complaints. I mean, they were just active all over the place,” explains Pat. Today, Pat sees parents fighting the same battles she fought in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. She says, “We are hearing the same things today that we heard back in the '80s and '90s -- we would love to do that, but we don't have the money for it.” Pat tells parents to stay vigilant. She recommends parents start requesting hearings and start filing complaints. Pat Howey was interviewed in Indianapolis in 2016.

- Summary:
- Bettye Dunham got her start in the disability field in 1975. She was a support person to an Indiana University student needing assistance with note taking and studying. Bettye says, “The things I learned from Chris really endeared me to the field.” Bettye went on to work 19 years at Developmental Services in Columbus, Indiana where she started a workshop program in Jennings County. This workshop would include residents from Muscatutuck State Developmental Center. “The VR counselors and I interviewed around 300 individuals, three to 400 individuals, residents of Muscatatuck…that was probably one of the most interesting points in my career…Talking with them about how they felt about being there, what their dreams and hopes were,” explained Bettye. Eventually, they hired around 20 people to work in the Jennings workshop. At the time of her 2013 interview, Bettye had been the C.E.O. of Rauch in New Albany, Indiana for over 20 years. Rauch started in 1953. Bettye says, “There were parents that had children with disabilities, all different ages of disabilities that came together. And they said, you know, there ought to be something. There ought to be some service or something that can help our children down the road and help them develop.” Bettye explains several of the services Rauch has offered including a sheltered workshop, American Sign Language, Healthy Families program, and community opportunities. She also addresses the challenges the agency has faced over the years. “To me, one of the most significant steps in the history of our field in Indiana was that 317 Task Force and putting some blueprints in place for what the future of services should look like,” explains Bettye. Kathy Davis, who was the Secretary of Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) at that time, chaired the 317 Task Force. Bettye on was on the 317 Task Force and talks about a few of the outcomes. In her interview, Bettye also discusses supported employment, natural supports, and the changes she has seen in the disability field over the years. One struggle Bettye sees is health care. She says, “One of the future challenges is going to be what happens to managed care and health care and how our population survives through that change, if that change comes about.”

- "There's a new crop of people that are saying, wait a minute, I'm not ashamed of anything. I don't need to distance myself from anything. In fact, I am a disabled person first." In this interview, Lawrence Carter-Long discusses his views on the evolution from people-first to identity-first language, and changes in the way disability is depicted in the media. "With more disabled people being creative behind-the-scenes," using new, more direct digital outlets, he has noticed that the stories we are seeing have more complexity, depth and authenticity. "The gatekeepers no longer have the same types of power." Public Affairs Specialist for the National Council on Disability at the time he was interviewed in 2015, Lawrence grew up in Indianapolis and Terre Haute. He was program coordinator for the Disabilities Network of New York City when he undertook the Gimp Project, a collaboration with dance choreographer Heidi Latsky. As a young person, Lawrence says modern dance was never an option for him. "It wouldn't even enter my consciousness because of my physicality and because of having cerebral palsy." However, he recalls a theater teacher at North Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Indiana who was pivotal in encouraging him "to do things that I wouldn't have imagined possible." Lawrence also discusses disability and film, talking about his experience curating and co-hosting the Turner Classic Movies festival, The Projected Image: A History of Disability in Film. The 2012 series reached 87 million people. "It was a fantastic opportunity to look back as a way to position ourselves and to say, how do we want to move forward." Earlier, Lawrence laid the groundwork for The Projected Image with a successful, experimental festival in New York City, "Dis This." He was interviewed at the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities conference in Indianapolis.

- "I must be completely honest - I was not the first person to introduce the Americans with Disabilities Act," retired U.S. Senator Tom Harkin pointed out in an interview with the Indiana Disability History Project. In fact, Senator Harkin had been one of the main authors of the landmark civil rights legislation, and became its chief Senate sponsor. He also gives credit to the ADAPT "Capitol Crawl" action on March 12, 1990 with influencing legislators to finally get the law on the books. Before the end of May of that year, the bill had been passed by both chambers of the House. It was signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26. In this 2017 interview excerpt, he looks back on a historic moment and forward to the work ahead. In his view, the next frontier is jobs. "We have not broken through on employment." Tom Harkin was a United States Senator from Iowa from 1985 to 2015. He was interviewed on December 4, 2017 at the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities Conference where he was the keynote speaker.

- Summary:
- The Indiana University Libraries Scholars' Commons opened in 2014, offering a place for hands-on training sessions and presentation series such as the Digital Library Brown Bag Series. Additionally, groups and departments from within and outside the Libraries began offering consultation sessions in the Scholars' Commons, often discussing the same topics as these events with faculty, staff members, and students. Throughout this time, various streams of data were collected in the form of sign-in sheets, post-event surveys, and consultation tracking forms. Could these data sets be used to tell us more than just the numbers of attendees? In late 2017, Erika Jenns, former Scholarly Engagement Librarian, and I conducted analyses on approximately three years of data collected from consultation, presentation, and workshop events held in the Indiana University Libraries Scholars' Commons. This presentation will highlight trends gleaned from these findings and will attempt to answer questions such as: What is the best time to offer a workshop? Who is attending consultation sessions, presentations, and workshops at the Indiana University Libraries? What tools and technologies could be taught more frequently in workshops due to high interest in consultation sessions? This builds upon previous analyses by Michelle Dalmau, Head of Digital Collections Services, that compares local digital scholarship activities with data from a 2014 Ithaka S+R report on digital humanities at four research institutions, including Indiana University. This presentation will also detail how all of this analysis can be used to inform future programming development and approaches to consultations in the Scholars' Commons.

- Summary:
- "Metadata is a love note to the future" mused Jason Scott, archivist for the Internet Archive. Librarians and archivists cultivate metadata standards and practices to shape the future of resource description...so what does the metadata in our past say to us now? And what do our standards and decisions say to our descendants? IU’s Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative (MDPI) and new Avalon-based Media Collections Online (MCO) have brought to light both issues and opportunities related to metadata creation and upkeep, impacting how we view our legacy data and how we create new data. The decisions and projects intended to improve and enrich this vast repository will be discussed, as well as suggestions for other institutions interested in taking on similar projects.

- Summary:
- Shortly after the Indiana University Libraries Scholars' Commons opened in 2014, they established the “Maker Cart”: a mobile makerspace designed to foster creativity and learning around the Bloomington campus without being tied to a specific space. Over the past four years, makerspace outreach has grown to a regularly-occurring workshop series, “Maker Mondays,” which has included an introduction to analog synthesis using littleBits kits, creating original animated short films by painting and etching the film itself, and animating GIFs using Photoshop. This series has recently included workshops developed collaboratively with librarians who offer digital scholarship programming. Makerspace workshops using this model facilitate community building by interacting directly with interested attendees. Interested interdisciplinary attendees and instructors attend or offer these workshops out of curiosity and interest rather than a specific research need. They feature tangible learning outcomes to be constructed over the course of an hour: an original film, musical composition, or screen-printed object, for example. This presentation will showcase some of the makerspace skills and technologies featured in the Maker Mondays series, discuss how these partnerships have advanced digital scholarship outreach at Indiana University, and offer a forecast for IU Libraries makerspace initiatives into the future.

- Summary:
- Have you ever wondered what it's like to troubleshoot 100 simultaneous account creation problems in an undergraduate lecture hall? Recently, undergraduate humanities courses at Indiana University Bloomington have shown increased interest in incorporating activities and assignments designed to enrich students' understanding of the course material, foster their creativity, and allow them to learn techniques and technologies associated with digital scholarship. Nick Homenda and Meg Meiman worked with two undergraduate courses in American history and art history, partnering with IUB faculty members interested in retooling course assignments using the open source digital exhibition software Omeka . This presentation will describe the collaborative process developing these assignments and highlight the ways we engaged with instructors and students to expose them to concepts such as digital exhibition design, web development methodologies, visual literacy, and responsible (fair) use of digital resources. Additionally, we will talk about our failures and successes, and offer recommendations for librarians, faculty, and students interested in working collaboratively on future digital exhibition projects.

- Summary:
- The MDPI project posed a tremendous technical challenge: digitize and process around 280,000 audio and video assets by the University’s bicentennial. The first objects began processing in June 2015 and by the summer of 2016, the major problems had been worked out and the processing was proceeding smoothly. Then the discussions of film processing began. In theory, processing film is the same as audio and video. On paper, it seems easier: even though the time allotted is less than A/V, there are only 25,000 reels to process. In reality, however, it is a very different beast. An hour of film scanned at 2K resolution is 20x larger than an hour of video. When a film is scanned at 4K, it is 80x larger than video. Additionally, the film preservation master consists of not just a few files, like we see in audio or video, but thousands of files: a picture for every frame. Like all preservation masters, these files must be validated. This session will address the challenges and solutions that were needed for the back end processing to be able to process film efficiently.

91. Mapping Barnum, Bailey, and Cody: American Entertainment in the Global Nineteenth Century (54:12)

- Summary:
- Circuses and other traveling shows were a staple of nineteenth-century American society, but just how American were they? This project uses digital mapping together with traditional archival research to investigate the geographic reach, business networks, and cultural significance of three iconic American shows: Cooper, Bailey, and Company’s Great International; the Barnum and Bailey Circus; and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. Mapping their routes from the 1870s to the 1910s reveals how thoroughly they were embedded in global entertainment circuits—Cooper and Bailey travelled to Australia, New Zealand, India, and a handful of South American countries in the late 1870s; Buffalo Bill visited countries in Europe between 1887 and 1892 and again from 1902 to 1906; and Barnum and Bailey toured extensively in Europe from 1898 to 1902. Furthermore, in 1899, James Bailey officially relocated the headquarters of his circus to England, establishing the publically traded company Barnum and Bailey, Limited. By contrast, none of these shows travelled consistently to the west coast of the United States until 1907. Analysis of these entertainment geographies helps us rethink standard narratives of national integration in the U.S. in the second half of the nineteenth century and recasts institutions traditionally understood as quintessentially American in a transnational and global light.
92. Investigating AV Use in Humanities Research: Results from the Avalon User Needs Assessment (41:02)

- Summary:
- Which software tools and services are common when working with time-based media in humanities research? What are common frustrations? How do researchers access, annotate, and search across digital AV collections? While researcher use of physical and textual media has been a frequent subject of study, few investigations have been made on humanities researchers who do significant work with audiovisual materials. Through interviews, observations, and diaries of research activities, the Avalon User Needs Assessment study aimed to learn more about these researchers and their practices. In this presentation, observations and results from the study will be discussed: information on how researchers access and reference materials, common media formats used, frequent pitfalls and challenges, and analysis of software they find essential to their day to day activities. Discussion will include common needs and desired features, and how software platforms such as Avalon Media System can be improved to meet the unique needs of research users.
