"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.
In episode 81, Dean Shanahan speaks to Paula Apsell and Doug Hamilton—producers of PBS’s critically acclaimed science series Nova—about the show's climate change programming and learning how to educate their audiences on the facts.
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.
This workshop will cover managing research data with RDC and the Restricted-Access Data Remote Server (RADaRS); databases and enclaves; and the role of IU ScholarWorks for data.
