Becoming The Gothic Archive: From Digital Collection To Digital Humanities, Rose Fortier, Heather G. James
Becoming The Gothic Archive: From Digital Collection To Digital Humanities, Rose Fortier, Heather G. James
Rose Fortier
The Gothic Archive is the flagship digital humanities project for the Marquette University library. The project was birthed from a simple digital collection, and through the partnership of faculty and librarians, was transformed into something more. The core tenets of digital collection creation were adhered to in order to create a solid foundation upon which to build the Archive. The expertise of both groups and communication were key in the evolution of the collection, and in discovering and highlighting the relationships between the objects. This case study reviews the steps Marquette took in creating the collection and taking it to …

Between Subject And Tech Expertise: Collaborating With Faculty For Digital Humanities Projects [Presentation], Rose Fortier, Heather G. James, Wendy Fall
Rose Fortier
Libraries are well-positioned for partnership with digital humanities efforts in several ways. The management of digital items and the description of information resources for future researchers make libraries natural partners in digital humanities projects. Often Humanities scholars will reach out to the library for support or even guidance in these projects. At Marquette University, the Gothic Archive exemplifies the development of this collaboration. Though the Archive started as a humble collection of digitized and transcribed gothic chapbooks, it is being developed into an interwoven collection of digitized materials and contextual objects and promises to become a full-fledged digital humanities tool. …

Marketing An Established Institutional Repository: Marquette Libraries’ Research Stewardship Survey, Rose Fortier, Emily Laws
Rose Fortier
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the results of Marquette University Libraries’ survey measuring faculty knowledge and attitudes about the institution’s repository, for the purposes of creating a marketing plan for the institutional repository (IR). Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a quantitative approach through the use of a survey. Findings Like many other endeavors to measure faculty engagement with the IR, the investigators discovered that faculty knowledge of the IR is not universal. Moreover, the perceived values and motivators for faculty use of the IR were also not surprising, with faculty viewing online dissemination of their work to …
Marketing The Ir: Strategies From The Marquette Survey, Rose Fortier
Marketing The Ir: Strategies From The Marquette Survey, Rose Fortier
Rose Fortier
Marquette University’s institutional repository, e-Publications@Marquette, was established in 2008 for the deposit of faculty publications and research. Despite active participation by some faculty, universal participation remains an elusive goal. During the spring of 2013, faculty participation and needs were assessed via survey and compared to the IR’s capabilities in addressing those needs. Based upon the assessment survey and the IR’s available resources, a marketing plan and promotional strategies were created. The presentation will include analysis of the survey results and how they informed the creation of a marketing plan. Details of the marketing plan will be discussed as well as …
Data Management For Research Grants: A Marquette Pilot Project, Rose Fortier, Lynn K. Whittenberger
Data Management For Research Grants: A Marquette Pilot Project, Rose Fortier, Lynn K. Whittenberger
Rose Fortier
Presenters will report on an ongoing pilot project to manage data generated by National Science Foundation grants using bepress’ Digital Commons institutional repository software. The challenge of creating a home for data on a repository created for publications was met through the creation of a series that brings together all grant output, i.e. raw and aggregated data, publications, presentations, and other research output. Further challenges in obtaining and managing varying formats of raw data (numerical, image, video, sound), and large volumes of data will be discussed. Metadata for series with such diverse formats presents its own difficulties, especially when a …

Organizing And Indexing Photo Collections, Rose Fortier
Organizing And Indexing Photo Collections, Rose Fortier
Rose Fortier
Historical photo archives or collections can put an organization on the map and make it into a destination for patrons. Conversely, if not well organize and indexed, collections and archives can languish in obscurity and occupy valuable space and resources with no tangible return for the organizations. The Milwaukee Public Library's Historic Photo Archives contain around thirty thousand historic images; of those images, most are located in the Historic Photo Collection, on of the archives' 45 individual collections. The Historic Photo Archives has evolved over the decades. Various reference librarians have been assigned to the archives, and the rotation of …

The Why Of The Beholder: An Analysis Of The Use Of Art Image Databases By Art Historians, Rose Fortier
The Why Of The Beholder: An Analysis Of The Use Of Art Image Databases By Art Historians, Rose Fortier
Rose Fortier
In the field of art history, there is a great potential for the use of art image databases. However, there is little literature that deals specifically with the needs and desires of art historians when it comes to art image databases. This thesis fills the gap in the literature with a user study of the use of art image databases by art historians. It includes a survey of what databases are used, why they are used, and to what extent they are used by art history professors. Results indicate that many issues in the usability and design of currently available …
