Libraries And The Problem Of Digital Humanities Discovery, Roxanne Shirazi
Libraries And The Problem Of Digital Humanities Discovery, Roxanne Shirazi
Publications and Research
Why is it so hard to find digital humanities projects? While digital humanities librarians emphasize their crucial role in producing DH work as partners in developing, sustaining, and preserving digital resources, scant attention is paid to the library’s role in resource description and discovery, their contribution to disciplinary formation that goes beyond technology stacks and campus service models. This chapter explores the implications of the producer/creator model of digital humanities librarianship and imagines alternatives in which the problem of DH discovery is understood as a broader issue for academic libraries curating open access digital scholarship. By attending to the discovery …
Visualizing Archives And Library Collections, Thomas Cleary
Visualizing Archives And Library Collections, Thomas Cleary
Publications and Research
Archivists and special collections librarians have struggled for a long time with how to show patrons what we have in our holdings. Collections have been made accessible through container lists, finding aids, and collection and content management systems such as ArchivesSpace, Islandora, and CONTENTdm. Each of these documents and systems also has its own learning curve and different functions, but even then the scale of some topics in collections or the connectedness between collections is not always apparent.
This article showcases two projects the author has worked on to assist in creating data visualizations in a library/archives context. The GLAMViz …

Topic Modeling In The Queens College Civil Rights Collections, Thomas J. Cleary
Topic Modeling In The Queens College Civil Rights Collections, Thomas J. Cleary
Publications and Research
In 2014 a topic model was conducted on the materials found on the Queens College Special Collections Civil Rights website (archvies.qc.cuny.edu/civilrights). The titles, subjects, descriptions, full text (when available), coverage were all put into "Item" level text files and then run through MALLET (topic modeling program) to create 30 different topics. These computer generated topics and connected items were then labeled into meaningful terms and uploaded into Gephi. The Gephi results were then edited to a web that showed the thematic groupings of each.
The final results and display can be viewed here: http://archives.qc.cuny.edu/network/

The September 11 Digital Archive, Stephen Brier, Joshua Brown
Publications and Research
This article focuses on the creation and subsequent development of the September 11 Digital Archive (www.911digitalarchive.org), currently one of the largest digital repositories of historical materials on the September 11 attacks. The article reflects on archival and methodological questions and on issues raised by the efforts of staff members at the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University and at the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning (ASHP) at the City University of New York Graduate Center to preserve and present via the Internet digital resources related to the epochal events of …

Letter From The Executive Director: Queer Studies Goes Digital, Paisley Currah
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
Google books, journals available only online, Wikipedia. With so much knowledge going digital, is print culture on its way our? While print probably won't disappear as a scholarly medium in the foreseeable future, it is important that CLAGS remain at the cutting edge not just in terms of the kinds of research we support, but in terms of how we disseminate that research. We are currently involved in several long-term projects to share digital resources with our membership and the community at large, expanding on our longstanding commitment to making print and analog materials available that are often not accessible …
