Coding Discovery Between 3 Systems: Omeka, Alma & Primo, Keiko Okuhara
Coding Discovery Between 3 Systems: Omeka, Alma & Primo, Keiko Okuhara
Sandbox Series
This session will introduce a sustainable process for promoting faculty publications through an online catalog by making three systems interoperable; Omeka (Data provider), Alma (Library System), and Primo (Discovery platform) by devising the version 2.0 Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) in other words, OAI protocol. The OAI-PMH Repository plugin of the Omeka Classic allows an institutional repository (IR), a data provider, to be harvested in the discovery platform, Primo, to make a bridge for repository interoperability.

In my first post, I wrote about the big feelings our students might be grappling with and how to approach the semester carefully, with kindness and grace. Lately I’ve been asking myself: how do we do the same for ourselves? Something about this moment – this month, this semester, this year, you pick – feels. . . off. People are stressed, depressed, or entirely burnt out. People are quitting their jobs at higher-than-average rates and having trouble focusing on their work, feeling overwhelmed and distracted. It’s almost 2022 and people are still struggling with processing 2020.

This short paper and presentation is an update on the previously presented in July of 2021 titled “Automation Using Metadata Filters & Leveraging Research Assistants” with Savanna Nolan. Since that presentation, UGA Law Library served as a beta tester for Elsevier’s DCX – the Digital Commons exhibit solution. Launched late summer 2021, the exhibits that went live from UGA Law pleasantly surprised librarians who were lucky enough to discover that researchers were already retrieving the new digital exhibit content in their search engine results. This short paper shares the reasons why I have preferred working in DCX to build digital …

Digitizing The Utah Code Annotated, Valeri Craigle
Sandbox Series
When Utah’s three law libraries closed their doors in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, legal practitioners, researchers, and self-represented litigants lost access to the superseded Utah Code Annotated (UCA), which existed only in print form at these three libraries. Access to the UCA was restored in early 2021 through an LSTA grant-funded project that digitized UCA volumes and pocket parts from 1943-1995 and disseminated these materials via an open access Digital Commons collection.
Dare To Dream: How Would You Teach 1ls Legal Research With No Restrictions?, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Dare To Dream: How Would You Teach 1ls Legal Research With No Restrictions?, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
When I started in my current role as an instructional librarian, I was given space to make the changes I thought necessary to improve an already-changing legal research program. I’ve made changes – some small, some more major – in both the 1L and upper-level research curriculum, but there is more to do. In particular, I’m not entirely satisfied with how we teach legal research to 1Ls.
Preserving Podcasts In Institutional Repositories, Erik Moore, Valerie Collins
Preserving Podcasts In Institutional Repositories, Erik Moore, Valerie Collins
Sandbox Series
In response to the 2020 global pandemic, the University of Minnesota Archives sought to gather digital content documenting the public health crisis and institutional response to COVID-19. Staff identified university-produced podcasts from several departments as information-rich contemporaneous content that was also at high risk of loss. Over the course of this work, we determined that these podcasts should be preserved in our institutional repository, as we came to see University podcasts more broadly as a digital serial publication. Our focus is now on the ongoing maintenance of serial digital publications in a repository and demonstrating the preservation of podcasts as …

Getting Started With Coding, John Beatty
Getting Started With Coding, John Beatty
Sandbox Series
Over the past several years law librarians have become increasingly involved not only with their institutional repositories but also with automating aspects of their workflows for all sorts of common tasks related to faculty scholarship, law reviews, and more. In this sandbox John will share his story, share a wealth of resources for other librarians interested in learning to code as it relates to their roles with their IR, and engage in conversations with attendees to illustrate the variety of paths librarians have taken to develop this unique skill set.

Law Students, Covid-19, And Big Feelings, Olivia R. Smith Schlinck
Library Staff Online Publications
It’s Fall 2021 and well . . . we’re back. Or rather – some of us are. Along with a patchwork of universities requiring vaccinations and/or masks for students comes a patchwork of modes of instruction: fully online, hybrid, fully in-person (and subject to change). Some employees have shifted to occasional work-from-home models while others are required to be in-person every day. It’s all very complicated. Honestly, right now everything is complicated. With big, complicated situations come big, complicated feelings, and our students’ feelings are certainly that: big.
Researching The History Of 55 Fifth Avenue, Ingrid Mattson
Researching The History Of 55 Fifth Avenue, Ingrid Mattson
Library Staff Online Publications
55 Fifth Avenue (home to Cardozo School of Law) is the birthplace of a number of truly remarkable cultural institutions in New York City. As part of a conference highlighting Billy Holiday’s impact on music, issues of race in the United States, and Cardozo, I researched the history of the law school’s building, where Billie Holiday first recorded professionally in 1933 with Columbia Records with the producer John Hammond. Here is some of that history and the research strategies I employed to uncover it.

This project attempts to start addressing the lack of connection between repositories. While proper connections are far down the road, the first step is to be prepared for connections. This session will discuss how Berkeley Law is preparing data through persistent identifiers.

Technology can be daunting, but understanding difficult concepts is essential for a successful institutional repository manager. When beginning an innovative IR project, the “how” may seem the most difficult piece. However, understanding your own project is just the beginning. How do you then explain and sell your project to a group lacking IR expertise? This article will discuss the complications and best practices associated with garnering support from vital faculty and campus administrators for IR projects centering on technological concepts unfamiliar to them.

Methods For Populating Scholarly Profiles With Repository Data, Pamela Brannon
Sandbox Series
The first sandbox session of the second series will feature Pam Brannon, Coordinator for Faculty Services at the Georgia State University College of Law Library, sharing "Methods for Populating Scholarly Profiles With Repository Data". Over the past couple of years law librarians have become increasingly involved in assisting law faculty with setting up and populating scholarly profiles, including ORCID profiles. In this session, Pam will discuss several methods for using faculty publications metadata housed in a repository to populate these profiles.

Leveraging Bepress’S New Api For Metadata Transformations, Aaron Retteen
Sandbox Series
Getting metadata and content into our Digital Commons institutional repository was always straightforward, but getting information from the repository was always limited and challenging. With the recent release of an API, Digital Commons repositories can be engaged with in exciting new ways. For this series, I’ll discuss my summer project of taking metadata stored into the repository and transforming it into clean metadata for importation to our university’s research information system.

Creating Topical Exhibits In Digital Commons, Linda Tesar
Sandbox Series
When the William & Mary Law School Equity and Inclusion Exhibits Committee decided to begin hosting a series of physical exhibits with online components, the Wolf Law Library staff eagerly offered the scholarship repository as the best place to house the online exhibits collection. In late February, the library launched the first digital exhibit, “Black History at W&M Law.” In this talk, Linda will discuss the repository structure and format W&M chose, how different material was integrated into the collection, and give some insight into what worked and what didn’t.
Reflections On Critical Librarianship And Creating A Controlled Vocabulary, Olivia Smith
Reflections On Critical Librarianship And Creating A Controlled Vocabulary, Olivia Smith
Sandbox Series
During the summer of 2020, several members of the Cardozo Law Library collaborated to create a controlled vocabulary (CV) for LARC, our institutional repository. During the creation of this CV, there was no explicit intention to consider critical librarianship teachings while making decisions about what words “belonged” in the CV nor in drafting policies relating to the CV. This presentation will reflect on how beginning the project with critical librarianship in mind may have impacted the CV and will attempt to consider changes to the current policies to mitigate biases that are undoubtedly embedded in the CV as it stands.

Automation Using Metadata Filters & Leveraging Research Assistants, Rachel Evans, Savanna Nolan
Sandbox Series
The first sandbox session will feature Rachel Evans, Metadata Services & Special Collections Librarian, and Savanna Nolan, Faculty & Instructional Services Librarian, from UGA Law Library: As part of larger efforts university-wide to highlight diversity leading up to the 60th anniversary of desegregation at UGA, the law school focused on identifying materials including photographs, class directors and news articles related to the school's earliest minority graduates. Although a physical exhibit began to take shape in the summer of 2020, limited building access presented challenges in sharing aspects of the exhibit with the community. Rachel and Savanna will share the method …
