P01 - Connecting Access from Metadata to MARC (Amy Leigh Allen, Mary A. Gilbertson, Deborah E. Kulczak)
This poster explores various workflows in reusing metadata to create catalog records using MarcEdit and XML Notepad at the University of Arkansas Libraries. To have one interface for searching older physical items and newer digital items, the archives and technical services department worked together to create two separate processes, one for honors theses in DSpace using Dublin Core metadata, the other for music concert recordings in Islandora using MODS metadata.
P02 - Preservation in Process: Behind the Scenes at the Georgia Archives (Ephranette Brown, Tracey Johnson)
The presenters highlight key preservation projects, existing services, and professional collaborations at the Georgia Archives since 2014.
P03 - Twentieth Century American Literary Collection Acquisition Patterns (Amy Chen)
Viewers will visualize American literary collection placement patterns and important variables to consider when soliciting writers' papers for your repository. The presenter solicits your feedback on her research for a forthcoming book.
P04 - Alumni Outreach for Special Collections: Partnerships and Approaches (Virginia Ferris)
The NCSU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is actively building outreach to the alumni community through partnerships with alumni groups. Utilizing pop-up exhibits, makerspace technologies, visualization spaces, and the recently launched "Wolf Tales" traveling oral history stations, SCRC has created a vibrant visible presence within this community. This poster highlights examples and illustrates the power of these efforts to support advocacy, development, and more inclusive documentation of university history.
P05 - Cataloging Posteritati: Improving Access for Motion Picture Publicity Materials (Pat Frade, Rebecca A. Wiederhold, Cory Nimer)
In June 2015, the L. Tom Perry Special Collections established a new policy on cataloging published materials in manuscript collections to enable better discovery for researchers and reduce duplication of specific material acquisition. Motion picture publicity materials within manuscript collections would be the first to receive item-level description in the catalog. This poster describes the benefits, workflow, and decision-making processes that resulted from a successful collaboration between Special Collections and Cataloging.
P06 - Data Visualization: Accessible Entrepots (Hilary Gordon)
Digital humanities tools for data visualization are growing in prevalence and availability. Although the range of functions enabled by these tools can be daunting, this poster navigates basic options among some popular freely distributed programs, illustrates the kinds of visualizations that are accessible to those with no experience in digital humanities, and explores factors that are important in deciding which tool could be right for you.
P07 - Intrinsic, Added, and Enduring Value: Records Emergency Planning as Advocacy at the Georgia Archives (James Irby, Christine Garrett, Kim Norman)
This poster illustrates how disaster preparedness tasks inform a range of outreach initiatives that highlight the mission and holdings of the Georgia Archives. The Archives regularly schedules compliance meetings with government officials, promotes the professional development of archival practitioners, and delivers services and cultural enrichment to its patrons. You'll see how records emergency planning serves as an advocacy tool both within and beyond the Georgia Archives facility.
P08 - if (you are a digital archivist) then { you = "might need to learn to code"; } (Mary Kidd, Dinah Handel, Morgan McKeehan)
To support sustainable digital preservation plans, do I need to learn to code? Three National Digital Stewardship Residents endorse the benefits and practicality of understanding code and present case studies of programming coming into play throughout the preservation stages at three dynamic archives.
P09 - Enriching Collaboration: Processing the Records of The Wellesley Centers for Women (Sara Ludovissy)
How do two institutions that share a unique institutional and historical connection collaborate in a mutually beneficial processing project? The presenter explains the history of the Wellesley Centers for Women and Wellesley College, creation of a robust finding aid using ArchivesSpace, and how the project led to consultations on WCW's 50th anniversary celebration, planning of oral histories, and enhancements to related WCW collections.
P10 - Hacking Hemingway - Community Partnerships and Digital Collaborations (Leigh A. Tarullo, Emily Reiher)
"Hacking Hemingway: Cracking the Code to the Vault" is a digital history project funded by the Illinois Secretary of State and Illinois State Library that gives access to rare items from The Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park and the Oak Park Public Library. Illustrated is the unique partnership between the Foundation and Library that allows for shared resources, access, outreach, and participation in community initiatives in a meaningful way.
P11 - Digitizing Media(ted) Memories: The South Carolina Women's History Archive (Travis Le Wagner)
The presenter discusses an initiative to digitize video recordings chronicling the challenges and triumphs of women in local communities in South Carolina. Illustrated is what appeared to be a simple saving of deteriorating media through digitization but proved to be revelatory in reviving nearly forgotten moments of women's political and economic mobility in the state.
P12 - Box Labels and Bombshells: Assessing Archival Collections at New Mexico State U. (Caitlin R. Wells)
Wells reviews the planning and execution of an assessment of the historical collections at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces. Financial constraints required the department to be creative in scaling the assessment without additional staff, funding, or technology. The data collected have allowed the unit to begin implementation of an extensible processing program to reduce the unprocessed backlog and make the collections more accessible.
P13 - Everyone Has a Story: Using Digital Storytelling to Engage Undergraduate Students (Judith Ann Wiener, Kristin Rodgers, Brian Leaf)
This poster details how librarians and curators at The Ohio State University developed a for-credit course designed to introduce undergraduate students to special collections research and digital storytelling practices.
