Networked Co-Curation In Virtual Museums: Digital Humanities, History, And Social Media In The Toledo’S Attic Project, Arjun Sabharwal
Arjun Sabharwal
Networked co-curation is an innovative outreach practice in archives and museums using social media with other Web 2.0 technologies in order to curate digital heritage collections. It relies on crowd-sourced curation, which results in richer discourse through globally dispersed public participation and intersubjective perspectives. The theoretical framework for networked co-curation consists of three dimensions: digital history, digital humanities, and social network theory. Historical representation, intertextuality, and remediation play a vital role in networked co-curation, forming a bridge between digital content and a transforming virtual audience. Networked co-curation present three significant concerns for archives, libraries, and museums: provenance verification, knowledge representation, …

Digital Representations Of Disability History: Developing A Virtual Exhibition At The Ward M. Canaday Center, University Of Toledo, Arjun Sabharwal

ABSTRACT: Virtual exhibition can play an important role in archival practice due to the growing volume of digital content in repositories, the growing number and diversity of remote users, and increased sophistication of technologies focusing on Web accessibility. The expanding digital environment affords archives with opportunities to leverage technology to their advantage by integrating archival description and outreach practices. Through virtual exhibitions following guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C-WAI), archives can reach out to users with disabilities who can use assistive equipment for research purposes. With a focus on a disability history virtual exhibition at …

The expansion of the Digital Initiatives program beyond archives and special collections is creating new paradigms and opportunities in collaboration across the University of Toledo. Shifting economic realities and priorities, however, have prompted academic institutions to realign services in support of online learning, electronic publishing, and other high-priority strategic goals. Legacy projects to digitize collections of photographs, recordings, rare books, historical newspapers, and maps remain important, but archives and academic libraries may consider new directions in academic knowledge management. In fact, strategies and practices rooted in knowledge management may help academic institutions develop innovative services and resources, promote new paradigms …
Toledo’S Attic: A Collaborative Digital History Project, Arjun Sabharwal
Toledo’S Attic: A Collaborative Digital History Project, Arjun Sabharwal
Arjun Sabharwal
Electronic media, hypertext (electronically created text with links to other electronic texts), and social networking have transformed historians' work. Digitization has changed the way that libraries, archives, and museums curate and present historical resources to researchers. Digitization has also altered the way historians access and use these sources. Toledo's Attic is a collaborative digital history project involving the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections, The University of Toledo Department of History, the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, the Maumee Valley Historical Society, and WGTE Public Media. The site, which focuses on Toledo and Northwest Ohio’s late nineteenth- and twentieth-century history, …

Vision And Strategy Towards The Course-Embedded Library: New Possibilities For A “Virtual Carrel” Initiative, Arjun Sabharwal
Arjun Sabharwal
Course-embedded libraries represent an emerging need in education, as academic libraries seek new strategies in service. Amidst the sweeping changes in demographics, technology, science, and economy, the need to reach out to distant learners has reached a critical point, urging librarians, course administrators, and technologist staff to establish new collective goals and strategies. The “virtual carrel” is a vision for an online workspace with collocated course content and embedded library resources. Innovative strategies can be introduced to further integrate the library in the online classroom, thus embedding the library into the context of online coursework. As an extension to macro …
