For Good Measure: Assessing The Impact Of Game-Based Instruction In The Archives, Autumn M. Johnson, Dawn Nikki Cannon-Rech
Library Faculty Presentations
Presented at Society of Georgia Archivists annual meeting
Game-based instructional programs can provide creative, hands-on learning opportunities while protecting valuable collections. This presentation will reflect on the experience of using game-based instructional techniques to successfully develop an Escape Game that engaged a campus community with archival sources and authentic learning. Sensory game immersion provided authentic engagement with the materiality of collections, their historical context, and the deeper critical narratives within the collection. Tasks were designed to engage learning objectives that explored archival conceptualization, discovery, and interpretation. The successful program increased awareness of the archival collections throughout the University community …

Reference Diversity: Listening In A Crisis, Kay Coates
Reference Diversity: Listening In A Crisis, Kay Coates
Library Faculty Presentations
Presented virtually at the 2020 AABIG Conference by Prof. Kay Coates
In unprecedented times such as this, there is a significant increase in demand for virtual learning as result of social distancing. It is fundamental to readily identify the needs of patrons universally through proactive engagement by initiating dialogue. Additionally, accurately assessing and responding to the needs of patrons becomes high priority in delivering satisfactory service given the uncertainty and risks in overcoming latent communication barriers. In order to provide effective reference service the role of listening is critical. Best-case scenario, the outcome drives innovative instruction and offers win-win …

From Dublin Core To Marc - Crosswalking Etd Metadata From Digital Commons To The Library Catalog, Jill V. Krefft, Zhonghua Du, Rebecca Bakker
From Dublin Core To Marc - Crosswalking Etd Metadata From Digital Commons To The Library Catalog, Jill V. Krefft, Zhonghua Du, Rebecca Bakker
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
Florida International University has developed a semi-automated process for harvesting and transforming qualified Dublin Core metadata to MARC for electronic theses and dissertations published in Digital Commons for inclusion in the library catalog. This presentation will share the workflow whereby metadata is harvested via OAI-PMH; transformed to MARC using a script; and ingested into the catalog. Challenges and benefits of this workflow will be discussed.
This presentation will also share information related to our retrospective thesis and dissertation scanning project; the need to overlay existing records in the catalog with new metadata; and specific challenges related to RTDs.
Creating Oral History Collections In Digital Commons, Christy Allen, Rick Jones
Creating Oral History Collections In Digital Commons, Christy Allen, Rick Jones
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
Furman University has seen a boom in the creation of oral histories over the past several years. This presentation will look at two of their oral history collections and discuss how they are built and presented within Digital Commons. The "Furman University Oral Histories" project contains historical histories digitized nearly a decade ago with limited metadata and poor audio/video quality. The "Oral Histories of Columbian Textile Workers in Greenville, South Carolina" is a new collection of recent histories which contain videos, Spanish/English translations, transcripts, and robust metadata. The presenters will discuss the benefits and challenges of each collection as they …
Establishing Best Practices In Institutional Repository Organization, Scott Bacon
Establishing Best Practices In Institutional Repository Organization, Scott Bacon
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
On the one-year anniversary of the CCU Digital Commons repository the organization of the Collections / Communities.html page was reviewed to gauge the need for revisions. Over 100 Digital Commons sites were examined to see how other repository managers organized their Collections pages. Top-level communities were coded into Community Types and were analyzed to surface trends in current practice. This presentation reviews trends in practice that emerged during research, as well as some of the best practices that were identified, including planning, iteration, labeling, limiting jargon, and finding a balance with top-level and nested content. Suggestions for improvement are given …
Lessons Learned In Lmu Digital Commons, Arya Hackney
Lessons Learned In Lmu Digital Commons, Arya Hackney
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
When creating an institutional repository (IR) from scratch, there are both challenges and opportunities before the manifestation of the IR, during it, and the final product. Maintaining the IR in kind also introduces additional considerations to navigate. Is it only one person who creates and maintains the IR, or is it the community? Or is it somewhere in between? What is the ideal scenario and what is the realistic outcome? Is there any way to anticipate the bureaucratic demands for the IR’s presence? This presentation answers all these questions, some answers simpler than others using LMU Digital Commons as an …
Automating Metadata Pulls Via Doi And Google Apps Scripts, Aajay Murphy, Himaja Kailaswar
Automating Metadata Pulls Via Doi And Google Apps Scripts, Aajay Murphy, Himaja Kailaswar
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
In this presentation, two IR workers will discuss the origination, development, complications, and successes of their efforts in creating a Google Apps Script to pull metadata for batch uploading faculty publications into the Digital Commons. By pasting a DOI into a particular cell in a Google Sheet, the IR manager can automagically plug in the metadata that coordinate with bepress’s batch upload Excel sheet. This happens by pulling in the information from CrossRef’s database. Future development could result in a more seamless and effective batch upload procedure, but it is also dependent on the publishing community to be more proactive …
Giving New Life To Old Memories: Migrating Central Florida Memory From Contentdm To Digital Commons, Lee Dotson
Giving New Life To Old Memories: Migrating Central Florida Memory From Contentdm To Digital Commons, Lee Dotson
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
For 18 years, CONTENTdm was home to Central Florida Memory (CFM). CFM is a cooperative project started by three partner institutions in 2002 to provide an online platform and focal point for gathering, preserving, and disseminating the documents, artifacts, and stories of the history of Central Florida. As the project grew to include content from nine partners, UCF remained the primary technology support and host institution for Central Florida Memory. Recent server consolidations and lack of support for locally hosted CONTENTdm instances underscored the urgent need to migrate this valued cultural heritage content to another platform. In the Fall of …

Kicking & Streaming! Enhancing Digitally-Born Oral History Collections In Digital Commons, Autumn Johnson
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
Oral history collections pose unique challenges for archival institutions. Making these important histories available to researchers is often impeded by complex issues of access, privacy rights, and media obsolescence. These challenges are magnified when histories are digitally-born. Not only do they face the same issues as their analog counterparts, but digital materials have their own unique preservation and access issues with which archivists are still struggling to identify best practices. Digital Commons offers archivists a platform for sharing digitally-born oral histories that mitigate many of these complex issues. Not only does the platform allow for the consolidation of files from …

Drive Traffic, Increase Links, Michele Gibney, Nicole Grady
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
One of the best ways to drive traffic to an institutional repository site is by adding links to it from other, established sites. This could be your institutional website – adding links from a departmental page to the department’s scholarly work. Or from your social media platforms to a relevant article corresponding with a topical news event. Another option is Wikipedia. Have you considered leveraging Wikipedia’s astronomical base of users for your own ends? With an average of 200 million+ page views a day, Wikipedia is an excellent resource to drive traffic to your IR.
But HOW can you accomplish …
Mining The Minutia: Leveraging Adobe Acrobat’S Comparison Tools For Cv Updates, Jennifer Gerrald, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Mining The Minutia: Leveraging Adobe Acrobat’S Comparison Tools For Cv Updates, Jennifer Gerrald, Jeffrey M. Mortimore
Digital Commons Southeastern User Group 2020
As every profile administrator knows, CVs are amorphous documents. Updates can occur anywhere at any time as researchers’ statuses, institutional roles, and research agendas evolve. Sections and entries can appear and disappear fluidly over the life of a CV, and even details within a single entry can change over time. For the profile administrator, catching these updates efficiently and effectively can be a real challenge. This presentation details one university’s approach to using Adobe Acrobat’s document comparison tools to identify, track, and process updates that improves significantly on manual review techniques. Presenters provide a detailed overview of this process, including …
