Leveraging Interactive Maps As A Resource Discovery Tool: Envisioning A Repository, Collection Or Series With A Map-Driven Interface, Rachel S. Evans, Keelan Weber
Sandbox Series
Those of us with Digital Commons sites may already have download based live-maps embedded on one or more landing pages of our collections. What if we created a map for end-users to search our series in new ways? In this sandbox, two members of the LSRD-SIS executive board come together to share a show-and-tell-style tour of 3 map-based interfaces for a variety of legal resources, from in-house developed examples to a larger database provider like HeinOnline. Through these examples, we hope attendees will engage in brainstorming ways we could creatively integrate maps to leverage them as a more user-centered discovery …

Improving Special Collections Discovery With Dcx Digital Exhibits, Rachel S. Evans
Sandbox Series
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
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due to the Coronavirus pandemic, legal practitioners, researchers, and self-represented litigants lost access to the superseded Utah Code Annotated (UCA), which existed only in print form at these three libraries.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.
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 …

Pitch Perfect: Achieving Faculty And Administrative Support For Techie Projects, Elizabeth Manriquez
Sandbox Series
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.

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 …
Wrangling Weirdness: Lessons Learned From Academic Law Library Collections, Courtney Mcallister, Megan Brown
Wrangling Weirdness: Lessons Learned From Academic Law Library Collections, Courtney Mcallister, Megan Brown
Charleston Library Conference
Academic law libraries face some challenges that are consistent with larger trends in higher education. However, there are unique aspects that shape the way collections are selected, evaluated, managed, and promoted. Most electronic resources designed for legal research do not generate COUNTER compliant usage data. Many subscription resources and services that libraries provide access to are primarily geared towards non-academic customers, such as law firms and corporations. Patrons increasingly need and request research products that rely on data collection, personalization, and non-IP access controls, which complicates law librarians’ professional commitment to things like preserving patron privacy and providing walk-in access. …

In November 2018, Stanford Law School Library unveiled to the public an online exhibit of more than 100 oral histories of American women lawyers, scholars, judges, and government officials who helped diversify the legal profession in the late twentieth century.

Rule 1.1 Duty Of Competency And Internet Research, Sharon Bradley
Continuing Legal Education Presentations
Basically the world has changed and technology is the primary driver. The legal industry has changed and yet many lawyers still brag about their lack of technology skills. These skills are not advanced programming and software design. I am talking about the competent use of basic office applications. Service providers like RocketLawyer and LegalZoom prepare wills, contracts and articles of incorporation. It’s estimated that these providers are now at least an $8 billion industry. People that used to hire local attorneys are now using these services. Potential clients are also using online service to find and evaluate lawyers. The days …
