Summary:
Video bio of Ann Craig-Cinnamon, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2019; After beginning her radio career at WIFE-AM in Indianapolis, Ann Craig-Cinnamon quickly moved to WNAP-FM, becoming the first woman to be a major part of a radio morning show in Indianapolis when she joined the morning team in the late ‘70s. In the 1980s, she served as the news director for Network Indiana, the statewide news-gathering and reporting radio network. In a broadcasting career that spanned nearly 30 years on radio and TV in Indianapolis, Craig-Cinnamon would go on to make a name for herself as the host of successful radio morning shows on WZPL-FM, WENS-FM, WYJZ-FM and WHHH-FM. She was instrumental in putting WPDS-TV (now WXIN-TV) on the air in 1983 as one of its original reporters and serving as the station’s public affairs director. --Words from the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers

327. Queer as Data: Linked Data and Minoritized Digital Archives (37:50)

Date:
2019-09-04
Main contributors:
Watson, Brian M.
Summary:
This presentation is the first step in an answer to Emily Drabinski’s 2013 challenge to library and information science (LIS) professionals to think about ways in which to ‘queer the library catalog,’ and to represent identity as historically constructed and described. Beginning with a brief outline of the troubled history between marginalized groups and LIS classifications, I examine some of the proposals suggested over the past half-decade by researchers—and their limitations. Instead of starting anew, or using ‘uninformed’ social tagging/folksonomies, I propose a ‘turn’ to the catalogs and controlled vocabularies of archives and special collections, which frequently reckon with unclassifiable material. Following through on that turn, I will discuss how linked data and linked data vocabularies are currently being used by several digital archives—along with some possible lessons for the LIS field as a whole. The radical and subversive use of linked data by queer digital archives offers a partial solution to the conundrum of minoritized and historical representation in the catalog. Finally, I will conclude by describing my own experiences and considerations in the construction of a new linked data vocabulary.

328. An Introduction to Open Educational Resources and Tips for Finding, Adopting, and Creating OER at IU (59:57)

Date:

Main contributors:
Hare, Sarah, Tavernier, Willa
Summary:
This interactive workshop will consider how Open Educational Resources (OER) can alleviate the high cost Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate students pay for course materials (an estimated $1,034 each academic year). Data suggests that students will forgo purchasing expensive course materials, even when they know it will impact their success in the classroom. This session will introduce OER and discuss its benefits, critically think about challenges to OER adoption, and formulate strategies to support IU instructors in finding high-quality OER, adapting them to fit students’ needs, and creating (even in collaboration with students) customized course materials. Please bring a laptop or similar device.

329. Digital Herbaria in the 21st Century (56:56)

Dunn, Jon, Halliday, Jim, Knox, Eric, Laherty, Jennifer
Summary:
Cyberinfrastructure finally caught up with the vision for biodiversity ‘big data’ online. Species are populations, and our knowledge of species is documented by preserved specimens. The IU Herbarium has 161,000+ specimens. Symbiota is a multi-institutional platform that accommodates specimen- and species-level images and information, and our regional instance for vascular plants is the Consortium of Midwest Herbaria data portal (http://midwestherbaria.org). To efficiently digitize the specimens, each was barcoded and photographed, with each image renamed as the barcode, and a skeletal database record created with the barcode, species name, and provenance (down to the level of U.S. counties). IU Libraries built the Imago digital repository (https://imago.indiana.edu), based on technology from the Samvera open source community, and quality-control pipelines to manage the digital resources being created by the IU Herbarium and other biological research collections. The high-resolution .tif images are stored in the Scholarly Data Archive, and equally good .jpg derivatives are married with the skeletal record information as they are ingested in Imago. Optical character recognition was used to capture specimen label information as .txt files, which were uploaded into Symbiota along with the Imago persistent URLs. The downstream workflow of label transcription and georeferencing was organized by the skeletal record information and conducted by a small army of student workers who simply needed access to the internet. The Imago pURLs also link DNA sequences in GenBank to the corresponding voucher specimens, and can be used in future digital publishing. IU hosts specimen images from other Indiana herbaria, and is providing technology transfer assistance to the University of Cape Town.

335. An Introduction to the Born Digital Preservation Lab (50:45)

Date:

Main contributors:
Shallcross, Mike
Summary:
“Born digital” content refers to files that were originally created in a digital format, as opposed to “digitized” materials that have been converted from original analog and physical items. As the Indiana University Libraries acquire more born-digital collections, new workflows and procedures are required to address the challenges they pose for long-term preservation and access. The Born Digital Preservation Lab (BDPL) provides equipment and workflows to ensure that such content retains its authenticity and integrity for future use by the university community and researchers at large. This presentation will highlight key considerations and principles for preserving born-digital materials and introduce attendees to current procedures in the BDPL.
