401. The Steward of Book History in the Digital Age: The Struggles and Rewards of Collecting eBooks an... (1:00:00)

Date:
2021-03-10
Main contributors:
Bigelow, Jessica
Summary:
Special collections libraries have long been repositories for collecting and preserving the history of the book. However, general collecting parameters have not yet encompassed what is, arguably, the most recent manifestation of the book: eBooks. Although scholars of book history have spent the last decade or so including eBooks in their historical overviews, their importance in the overall timeline of book evolution has not yet made an impact beyond historical contemplation. However, there might be a reason institutions are not overly eager to be the first to create a collection of early eBooks. Not only do eBook files come with the same long-term preservation problems as any born-digital materials, they also have added complications such as a lack of standardized file format, a lack of permanence in licensing agreements, and the constant threat of content changes from the seller, just to name a few. Therefore, while this presentation aims to develop an awareness of the need for special collections libraries to begin collecting eBooks, it also seeks to lay out the complications that currently stand in the way of a successful eBook collection to start a conversation around possible solutions for long-term preservation and patron use.

402. SecureMyResearch: Security for Research Productivity (39:47)

Date:
2020-02-19
Main contributors:
Shankar, Anurag, Welch, Von
Summary:
Securing research data, especially meeting new and stricter regulatory and other cybersecurity requirements, is becoming a challenge for both researchers and campus units at IU that support research. To help them navigate this complex landscape, IU is launching SecureMyResearch, a collaborative effort by the Center of Applied Cybersecurity Research (CACR), the Information Security division within the Office of the Vice President for IT, and UITS Research Technologies. Its goal is to accelerate research by empowering researchers with a resource that reduces both their cybersecurity and compliance burden and risk to regulated and open research data at IU. This presentation will describe SecureMyResearch and how it aims to weave research data security and compliance into the institutional fabric.

403. The Open Access Policy in Action: Automating Author’s Rights (49:11)

Date:
2020-04-22
Main contributors:
Hoops, Jenny, McLaughlin, Margaret
Summary:
This February was the third year anniversary of the Open Access Policy, authored to ensure the accessibility and availability of university scholarship to the public for future generations. When the policy was passed, the Scholarly Communication Department was tasked with encouraging several thousand faculty to annually deposit their work into a new institutional repository, IUScholarWorks Open. To facilitate the deposit process, developers in Library Technologies developed the Bloomington Research Information Tracking Engine, also known as BRITE. The BRITE application is able to check the open access and copyright status of articles, compile emails to faculty, and prepare metadata for batch deposit into IUScholarWorks Open. While some manual intervention is still necessary, BRITE has helped our team automate a normally extensive and time-consuming process. This session will walk through the process of development for the BRITE application, as well as the documentation that allows users and employees with little to no subject knowledge on copyright, metadata, or automation to successfully navigate the application. We will also discuss some of our plans for the BRITE application in the future, and look for insight into what development our users may need moving forward.

404. Rethinking Archival Experience: Tracing Content Trends and Examining the Role of Community in a U... (57:02)

Date:
2021-03-31
Main contributors:
Mullen, Catherine
Summary:
As digital archives evolve, it is important to ask how they serve their users and to shine a light on their conceptualization and construction. Archives such as the Manchester Digital Music Archive (MDMArchive), a digital community music archive based in England, take community experience and memory as their starting point and guiding focus. This Digital Library Brown Bag, drawing on a case study of the MDMArchive, examines how user-generated digital archives contribute to the development of more representative and democratized repositories of memory through the use of participatory collecting methods and equitable curatorial practices. Based on a dissertation project exploring the motivations behind community archiving and the place of community archives within broader heritage networks, this presentation combines ethnographic research with digital humanities analytical methods to trace trends in archival content over time and outline the overall structure of the online archive. By engaging in these analyses, this multimodal research allows for a larger scale examination of how digital archives are used and speculation about how they can be used to foster and sustain community-based knowledge.

405. Using DataCORE, Indiana University’s New Data Repository (50:48)

Date:
2021-10-20
Main contributors:
Fridmanski, Ethan, Halliday, Jim, Keese, Brian
Summary:
Datasets that underlie research findings are increasingly in demand. Funding agencies and publishers require that research data be discoverable, accessible, and preserved for future use. Beyond this, data preservation and sharing are essential for the advancement of science. While research articles and monographs have persisted through time the original data mostly has not. Data repositories are essential scientific and university infrastructure that help solve this problem. Without this infrastructure it is difficult for researchers to share their intellectual output broadly and securely while getting the proper credit. Data repositories provide a centralized hub for data and promote cross-disciplinary collaboration which leads to the generation of new theories and cutting-edge science. DataCORE is IU Library’s new institutional data repository and provides the infrastructure to address these issues. In this presentation DataCORE’s development team and IU’s Data Services Librarian talk about the technology underlying DataCORE, its capacity and future as well as a demonstration on how to use it.

406. Digital mapping as a final project: Faculty-Library partnerships in building student assessments (1:01:00)

Date:
2021-04-21
Main contributors:
Elias, Vanessa, Schwier, Carrie, Hsia, Ke-Chin
Summary:
This brown bag will discuss how partnerships between faculty and multiple library entities in service of digital pedagogy can help enrich the learning processes and outcomes of students’ final projects. We will demonstrate how access to the University Archives allowed to students refined their critical research skills. Furthermore, along with the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities, students fostered digital literacy skills that resulted in the creation of individual public-facing webpages as their final digital projects. The partnership of multiple university units not only enriches the educational experience for students, but also provides them the opportunity to hone valuable skills that will prepare them for careers in the digital age.

407. Negotiating Network Analysis: Balancing Historical Thinking and Data Science Learning in Digital ... (43:05)

Date:
2022-03-30
Main contributors:
Craig, Kalani
Summary:
The ability to understand and analyze massive amounts of information cuts across disciplinary lines but is particularly salient in the disciplines of both history and data science. This talk will leverage activity theory to explore an activity system that supports students and researchers working with complex information by integrating a collaborative open-source network-analysis software tool called Net.Create. I’ll explore the ways in which Net.Create transforms the limitation of large class sizes in history classrooms into a resource for students’ collaborative knowledge building, how Net.Create provides a platform for students to draw on details in a historical text to collaboratively construct a larger network, and how collaborative data entry supports the historiographic practices of citation and revision for both students of history and professional historical researchers alike.

408. Omeka and Video: Using Video Plugins with Omeka (57:49)

Date:
2013-09-11
Main contributors:
Cowan, William
Summary:
This project was funded by an NEH Office of Digital Humanities Startup Grant and is managed by Indiana University Libraries. This grant funded the creation of two Video plugins for Omeka. One allows the importing of Annotator's Workbench (a digital video segmentation and annotation tool developed as part of the Eviada Project) annotations and segmentations into Omeka as Items. In addition, another plugin was developed to present these video segments in Omeka and Omeka exhibits. Both plugins will be reviewed as well as a short background on Omeka.

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

Date:
2019-10-09
Main contributors:
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.

410. Challenges and Opportunities in Image Processing and Analysis of Historical Documents (49:25)

Date:
2013-01-30
Main contributors:
Rahnemoonfar, Maryam
Summary:
A particular challenge in the text recognition of historical document images is the considerable amount of "image noise" that can arise during the whole life cycle of a document from printing and storage to the usage and scanning of the document. Historical documents suffer from several different kinds of noise such as geometric distortions, bleed-through, textured papers, stamp, stain, and so forth. Noise will affect and complicate the different stages of document image analysis including enhancement, segmentation, layout analysis and recognition. This talk will cover the description of different stages of document image analysis and challenges and opportunities in image processing and analysis of historical documents. I will particularly explain about the software that I developed in the IMPACT project for correction of arbitrary geometric artefacts in historical documents. Such distortions appear as arbitrary warping, fold, and page curl and have detrimental effects on OCR and print-on-demand quality.

411. Metadata in the Third Dimension: Describing 3D digital objects for access and preservation (55:28)

Date:
2018-04-11
Main contributors:
Hardesty, Juliet
Summary:
3D digitization, born-digital 3D objects, and Virtual Reality (VR) - the techniques to create these kinds of items and the access and scholarly research applications for these items within libraries and cultural heritage institutions are becoming more real (and less virtual) as costs come down and technical equipment becomes more friendly to use. IU already has 3D digital collections that are actively growing. We need a way to describe these items so they are discoverable and accessible for research use, even when that means extremely large files that can require specialized software to recreate or evaluate the models. We also need to be able to preserve 3D digital and VR objects. This talk will consider how we can accomplish these goals, the work currently occurring among libraries and cultural heritage institutions, and how best to apply metadata in the third dimension.

412. Empowering Privacy-Centered Practices for Diverse Communities (39:34)

Date:
2023-09-27
Main contributors:
Ece Gumusel
Summary:
As the digital landscape continues to shape how we interact and engage with information, the LGBTQ+ community faces unique challenges in maintaining their online identities securely and privately. This presentation explores empirical findings from a user study that evaluates the usability and effectiveness of privacy and security tools among LGBTQ+ individuals who are part of the library and information science profession. The study shows unique insights into the barriers influencing their adoption of such tools, the criteria they consider when deciding to disclose personal identifiable information and their overall satisfaction with the tools currently available. By leveraging the study’s findings, the significance of implementing robust privacy and security measures in libraries will be emphasized. Furthermore, we will collaboratively develop practical recommendations to empower libraries in better supporting and embracing the LGBTQ+ community. Through meaningful discussions and knowledge exchange, this presentation aims to raise awareness about the critical importance of privacy and security tools within diverse communities, inspiring a privacy-centered mindset and approach among libraries and professionals.

413. Bridging the Generation Gap: Changes to IU Archives Description and Discovery (40:05)

Date:
2020-02-12
Main contributors:
Hardesty, Juliet, Crandell, Adam
Summary:
Indiana University Libraries are home to rich and unique collections, ranging from the Calumet Regional Archives at Northwest, to the University Archives at Bloomington, to the William L. Simon Sheet Music Collection at Southeast. To date, the description and discovery of these materials have been facilitated by disparate systems, formats, and practices. This fractured ecosystem has challenged the exploration of materials meaningful to Hoosiers and those in the national and international communities. Library Technologies and Digital Collections Services have partnered with archivists across IU in a project called Next Generation Archives Online. In celebration of IU’s 200th anniversary and with funding from the Office of the Bicentennial, this project is laying the groundwork for a unified description and discovery infrastructure and coordinated processes governing contributions to that infrastructure. This new ecosystem includes ArchivesSpace for creating collection description and ArcLight for end user search and discovery. This talk will share progress to date in implementing and moving from the current generation’s disparate technologies and practices to the unified approach of the next generation.

414. Browse and Learn: Using Linked Data Connections for Bias Mitigation and Research (55:09)

Date:
2021-02-17
Main contributors:
Hardesty, Juliet L., Nolan, Allison
Summary:
When systemically marginalized communities provide their own controlled vocabularies of terms, can those be used effectively for browsing and researching in information systems that do not use those same vocabularies? Join us as we share ongoing work to use connections between the Homosaurus, an LGBTQ+ Linked Data vocabulary and the Library of Congress Subject Headings to enhance discovery of relevant resources in a library catalog. We will explore how this can aid education about terminology and possibly help to mitigate biases on the part of researchers and the library catalog. We will share the proof-of-concept web application, the work completed so far, and discuss further planned work and possible future contributions.

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

Date:
2019-09-25
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.

416. Tilting the Lens to Black Lives: Using Public Open Digital Scholarship to Develop Student Skills ... (56:34)

Date:
2022-10-05
Main contributors:
Tavernier, Willa, Homenda, Nicholas
Summary:
Librarians are working to counterbalance collections decisions and priorities that have historically marginalized the histories and experiences of people of color. Critical digital scholars have also highlighted the need to disrupt the replication of this marginalization in the digital sphere. Meanwhile concerns about diversity, cultural competence, and the marginalization of students of color in STEM and librarianship continue. Libraries can use critical digital collections in response. This presentation will focus on an open access digital resource built at Indiana University Bloomington Libraries - Land, Wealth, Liberation: The Making & Unmaking of Black Wealth in the United States - which has seen significant uptake from the campus and community and attracted diverse student workers. Librarians and students built this resource on a Libraries-hosted digital exhibition service based on Omeka S, which allowed for rapid, collaborative and distributed development, and integration of embedded audiovisual content and interactive timelines. The primary timeline spanning 1820-2020 offers an alternate construction of significant historical periods, tying them to events that directly affected black communities, such as the 1921 destruction of Greenwood, Tulsa, and the federal urban renewal policies initiated by the 1949 Housing Act. Librarians actively engaged students in developing their skills in scholarly communication, open access, and digital methods. The success of this project opens new doors for collaborative digital scholarship projects between the Libraries, the campus, and the community, and illustrates that digital collections focusing on the stories of historically marginalized groups can be an important means of addressing multiple concerns.

The books, journals, proceedings, patents, grants, technical reports, doctoral and master theses can be cross searched. Results can be downloaded as data dumps for further processing. The online interface at https://sdb.School of Library and Information Science.indiana.edu provides full-text search for four databases (MEDLINE, NSF, NIH, USPTO) using Solar. Specifically, it is able to search and filter the contents of these databases using many criteria and search fields, particularly those relevant for scientometric research and science policy practice.

427. Semantic Web: Past, Now, Future (51:40)

Date:
2008-10-01
Main contributors:
Ding, Ying
Summary:
Semantic Web starts from late 90s as the original vision of the WWW inventor Tim Berners-Lee. The power of the Semantic Web lies in the potential for interoperability through some well-defined metadata in machine understandable way with logic reasoning support. Layered design principle in the Semantic Web paves the way for reuse. With the evolution of the Web, currently Web 2.0 provides scalable information sharing platform, while the Semantic Web adds valuable machine understandable metadata to enable efficient and automatic way of information sharing and cross-portal communication and collaboration. The combination of the Semantic Web with Web2.0 forms a new momentum for the next web weave coined as Web 3.0 in the New York Time. This talk will go through the footprints of the web evolution and highlights the semantics on the Web.

434. The origin of emotionally modern humans: How did humans become such "other-regarding" apes? (1:25:56)

Date:
2013-04-02
Main contributors:
Sarah Hrdy
Summary:
Humans are remarkably similar to other apes. Like us, chimpanzees and orangutans are extremely clever, use tools and exhibit rudimentary understanding of causality and what others intend. However, other apes are not nearly as good at understanding the intentions of others nor nearly so eager to accommodate or help them. By contrast, right from an early age, humans are eager to help and share. It was this combination of understanding what others intend along with impulses to help and please them that enabled our ancestors to coordinate behavior in pursuit of common goals—with spectacular consequences later on. So how and why did such other-regarding capacities emerge in creatures as self-serving as non-human apes are? And why did they emerge in the line leading to the genus Homo, but not in other apes? In her lecture, Sarah Hrdy explains why she became convinced that the psychological and emotional underpinnings for these "other-regarding" impulses emerged very early in hominin evolution, as byproducts of shared parental and alloparental care and provisioning of young. According to widely accepted chronology, large-brained, anatomically modern humans evolved by 200,000 years ago, while behaviorally modern humans, capable of symbolic thought and language, evolved more recently still, in the last 150,000 or so years. But Hrdy hypothesizes that emotionally modern humans, interested in the mental and subjective states of others emerged far earlier, perhaps by the beginning of the Pleistocene 1.8 million years ago.

436. Language, Meaning, and Rational Thought (1:40:07)

Date:
2011-11-10
Main contributors:
Ray Jackendoff
Summary:
This talk, based on Jackendoff's forthcoming book A User's Guide to Thought and Meaning, explores the experience of thought as inner speech, the Joycean stream of consciousness. The paradox is that thinking cannot be dependent on language, since (a) the same thought can be expressed in different languages, and (b) nonlinguistic organisms such as apes and babies do manage to think. He makes the case that thought itself is mostly unconscious, and that the conscious experience of inner speech is determined largely by the handles provided by the pronunciation linked to the thought. In addition, Professor Jackendoff will show that it is impossible to achieve the ideal of rational thinking, in which every step of reasoning is explicit, because the logical connections among statements ultimately rest on an intuitive (i.e. unconscious) judgment of conviction. He suggests that, nevertheless, the handles on thought provided by language enhance thought in important ways, and that a better ideal involves sensitivity to an appropriate balance between linguistically expressed rational reasoning and intuitive judgment.

Michael Frisch, Professor Emeritus of the University of Buffalo and former president of both the Oral History Association and the American Studies Association, has recently created a consulting firm, Randforce Associates, to develop software for indexing and annotating audio and video documentation. P. Sainath received the 2007 Ramon Magsaysay Award (the “Asian Nobel”) for his “passionate commitment as a journalist to restore the rural poor to India’s national consciousness.” He is Founder-Editor of the crowdfunded, volunteer-sustained People’s Archive of Rural India.

454. Herder, the Grimm Brothers, and Richard Dorson’s Antiquarians: A New Look (57:33)

Date:
2018-10
Main contributors:
de Caro, Frank
Summary:
Richard Dorson was right seeing the antiquarians as the precursors of the study of folklore. Many of them recorded information on “traditions.” However, he did not really understand the rationale behind their work, mixed up in Tudor politics, especially the religious aspects. (The “first” work on folklore in English is an anti-“Puritan” tract.) When Herder and the Grimm Brothers came along in the 18th and early 19th centuries, there was already a body of lore in English which could be transferred to fit in with their ideas. The Grimm Brothers, and the “antiquary-folklorist” Thomas Wight are responsible for developing ideas about survivals, an idea to influence folklore and anthropology for 75 years.

459. Your Journals Are Spying On You: Research Surveillance in Library Products (1:01:00)

Date:
2021
Main contributors:
Sarah Lamdan
Summary:
Our traditional journal vendors are transitioning from being publishers to being data analytics companies. A few of them, including RELX (Reed Elsevier + LexisNexis) have even become data brokers that sell dossiers of personal information to ICE. In this discussion, we’ll look at how companies’ research platforms are now part of larger data analytics systems, and what that means for our privacy and intellectual freedom. We’ll also think about open access projects and other efforts that could help ensure that people who use our libraries can do their research without being subjected to surveillance.

462. Transcodes and Transfers: Exploring the MDPI Back-end Processing (56:15)

Date:
2016-04-06
Main contributors:
Wheeler, Brian
Summary:
The process of converting the digitized MDPI media into something that can be used for web delivery is conceptually simple: transcode each one into derivatives and transfer them to the delivery system. However, like most things, the devil is in the details. Data corruption, tape latency, and managing large amounts of data are just a few of the problems which must be overcome. This session will follow the steps that MDPI digital objects take during processing and explore the solutions used to create a system which must reliably process hundreds of hours of audio and video content daily.

Summary:
Many years ago as a graduate student studying William Langland’s Vision of Piers Plowman, I came upon what was evidently a popular scatological riddle pertaining to a profound theological teaching. Since that time I have continued to ruminate over the role of humor—especially sexual and scatological humor—arising from within vernacular Catholicism. In this talk, I will consider the serious play of such forms of expression and their significance for folklorists concerned with the nature of belief in the sacred.
