Between Utterance And Action: The Shaping Of Social Accountability In India’S Coastal Commons, Nayana Udayashankar, Aarthi Sridhar

Journal of Law and Public Policy

Judicial orders, management plans, and zonation maps prepared in relation to environmental laws encode the jurisprudence on accountability. Laws such as India’s Coastal Regulation Zone Notification (CRZ Notification) 2019 serve as sources of discourse on use and access rights. Such laws are crucial in shaping developmental decisions and democratic practice along the coast. As an environmental law that contains detailed articulation on judicially mandated planning, mapping, and public access to regulatory information, the CRZ Notification 2019 offers a good case to understand the relation between legal discourse and citizens’ agency. Citizens of the state of Tamil Nadu representing its small-scale …

Our challenge was to create a dashboard of repository usage statistics to inform, inspire, and motivate uploads to our digital repository. …

Crosswalk That Talk: Migrating Interview Collections Using Existing Metadata, Jose J. Garza

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium

This presentation outlines the novel method developed by the Historical Resources Center (HRC) at MD Anderson Cancer Center for migrating its oral history collection between platforms. The HRC’s model for maximizing accessibility involves segmenting each interview into chapters, each with a title, abstract, and subject headings. The system also aims to present both the media files and transcripts of interviews simultaneously. Over the past fifteen years, the collection has undergone multiple processing and publishing models. At one point, the archives relied on four software platforms: a browser-based display system, CONTENTdm and LibGuides for search and browsing, and ArchivesSpace for finding …

A Trauma-Informed Approach To Video Review In Medical Institutional Repositories, Amanda Greenwood

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) Symposium

Since the 1970s, the University of Virginia School of Medicine’s Medical Center Hour has hosted speakers who explore the relationship between medicine and society. When patrons request access to recordings that have not been digitized, staff must carefully review the footage to identify sensitive material such as PHI and apply redactions before making the video accessible. While this process ensures compliance with privacy and confidentiality requirements, it can surface deeper emotional and ethical concerns. Staff may be exposed to distressing content during review, and patrons may be confronted with emotionally challenging material with little preparation. This presentation discusses how trauma-informed …

The Radical Middle: Caregiver Beliefs About Language Access For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Children, Monica Zmudzinski, Krystal L. Werfel

Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention

The purpose of this study was to explore the communication choices of caregivers of deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children. Specifically, we explored what communication options caregivers were presented with, identify what factors impacted a caregiver’s decision to pursue spoken language, and identify what barriers exist to learning sign language. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 caregivers of DHH children who had decision making power at the time of their child’s diagnosis. Transcripts were coded using an inductive approach with triangulation between authors. Many families reported that minimal to no information was provided about communication options at the time …

The research employed a multidisciplinary methodology combining the descriptive-analytical approach in examining legal texts and international instruments, the comparative method between the European experience—particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—and Arab legislation …

Lessons From Tiktok: Using Popular Social Media Platforms To Engage Gen Z, Debra Bernstein

Urban Library Journal

This study looks at how academic libraries in the New York City metropolitan area are using TikTok to engage with their communities, particularly students. It analyzes the most popular videos from five active library accounts, categorizing content types and measuring engagement through TikTok’s built-in metrics. Results indicate that humorous and lighthearted content consistently receives the highest engagement, while instructional or “how-to” videos tend to underperform. These findings suggest that while TikTok may not be the most effective platform for instructional outreach, it holds potential as a tool for visibility, community engagement, and humanizing the library’s presence. As students increasingly turn …

Enhancing Recommendation Performance Via Stacking Ensemble And Synthetic Data Augmentation, Zahraa Yaareb Hani, Mohsin Hasan Hussein

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Recommendation systems are essential tools that primarily aim to help users navigate through a large volume of information. They simplify the decision-making process by suggesting relevant items based on users’ historical behaviour. However, their performance is often affected by common problems such as data sparsity. This work proposes a stacking-based ensemble recommendation system that integrates multiple machine learning models to enhance the model’s predictive performance. A new synthetic data augmentation technique is introduced to address the sparsity issue in the user–item rating matrix. This method uses the Naïve Bayes algorithm to predict additional ratings for each user. These are then …
