Publishing Ada: A Retrospective Look at the First Three Years of an Open Peer...Karen Estlund
Presentation by: Karen Estlund, Sarah Hamid, and Bryce Peake
At the CNI spring 2012 meeting, we presented on a new collaborative journal publishing project from The Fembot Collective and the University of Oregon (UO) Libraries, Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology. The Fembot Collective is a collaborative of feminist media scholars, producers, and artists engaged with the intersection of new media and technology and scholarly communication. One aspiration of this project was to reclaim the means of scholarly production through a community-centered model of open peer review and multi-modal publication processes. As a work in progress, Ada has continuously evolved to meet the needs of diverse authors, readers, and commentators. In the face of changing scholarly communication practices, the Fembot and library collaboration offers an alternative system of open-access publication and review that recaptures academic production structures in favor of cross-disciplinary, multi-modal, collaborative knowledge. Our community standards state that “responding is political work” emphasizing a space that demands constant redirection and active participation by its collaborators in order to generate new expressions of feminist open access scholarship over time. Now in our third year of publication and working on our ninth issue, we will review lessons learned about audience, production, infrastructure, design and assessment. We will discuss the ways in which our intervention has been transformed by, while also transforming, discussions about participatory media, open and collaborative peer review, production costs, and the intersections of technical and intellectual labor.

USU launched a program in 2016 to connect researchers seeking federal funding with librarians to assist them with data management. This program assisted over 100 researchers, but was it successful? Our presentation will discuss how we evaluated the success of this program using online asynchronous focus groups (OAFG) in conjunction with a traditional survey. Our cross-institutional research team will share our findings as well as the challenges and successes of using OAFGs to assess library services.
This document summarizes a discussion on using Linked Open Data (LOD) for museums. It discusses:
1) The American Art Collaborative (AAC), a consortium of US museums working to implement LOD within their collections to provide open access and interconnect data.
2) The benefits of LOD include telling fuller stories, augmenting collection information by connecting to other institutions, and making data more usable for developers.
3) Challenges include mastering ontologies, data inconsistencies, maintaining accuracy of tools, and understanding implications of different data models.
4) The AAC is developing best practices guides, apps, and open source tools from their experience implementing an LOD initiative over
This document discusses the American Art Collaborative project to publish museum collection data as Linked Open Data. It summarizes how the Smithsonian American Art Museum partnered with the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute to map over 44,000 records to the RDF data model and link them to external datasets using the KARMA data integration tool. This process helps tear down data silos and provides new ways for audiences to explore American art collections online.

Contextual Inquiry: How Ethnographic Research can Impact the UX of Your WebsiteRachel Vacek
Ethnographic research methods like contextual inquiry were used to understand user experiences of the university library website. Contextual interviews were conducted with students, faculty, and staff, followed by interpretation sessions to analyze the data. This involved creating sequence models of user tasks, affinity diagrams to group themes, and personas. The goal was to gain insights into how users work in order to design services and a website that better meet their needs. Challenges included the time and resources required, but advantages were an in-depth understanding of users and their research processes to inform improvements.
Impact the UX of Your Website with Contextual InquiryRachel Vacek
A contextual inquiry is a research study that involves in-depth interviews where users walk through common tasks in the physical environment in which they typically perform them. It can be used to better understand the intents and motivations behind user behavior. In this session, learn what’s needed to conduct a contextual inquiry and how to analyze the ethnographic data once collected. We'll cover how to synthesize and visualize your findings as sequence models and affinity diagrams that directly inform the development of personas and common task flows. Finally, learn how this process can help guide your design and content strategy efforts while constructing a rich picture of the user experience.

Understanding Understanding: Implementing Design-Focused Service Initiatives ...Joe Marquez
Inspired by the inaugural D4D 2015 conference, librarians from Reed College and Montana State University have kept in touch to brainstorm and share ideas on design research and service design. Our projects have many parallels, yet remain unique due to our distinct work environments and goals for our respective projects. We share a common belief that the holistic approaches of design research are critically important for creating and sustaining library services.
Design research and its holistic blending of the physical and digital is the next important topic for libraries. It holds great power for improving library services, but initiating and planning a project of this type comes with a unique set of challenges, including gaining buy-in; working out logistics, timing, and scope; and appropriately matching methods to research questions. This 90 minute presentation/session will start with a discussion of the different types of design and will provide attendees with points of conversation they can adapt to help build a shared understanding with colleagues and administrators of the value of design research. We will then discuss how we got started at our individual libraries and offer advice and resources for getting traction on and sustaining projects. Following the presentation section of our session, we will work through a set of exercises to help attendees practice design-focused research techniques.
Presented at Designing for Digital 2016 in Austin, TX. Presenters include: Joe Marquez, Annie Downey, Kris Johnson, & Scott Young.
This document provides the syllabus for a Digital Design course taught in Fall 2015. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30am-12:45pm.

The redesign aims to address issues like limited interactivity and usability by incorporating more media-rich tools to enhance discussion and interaction between participants. The redesign will be evaluated based on usefulness, interaction levels, usability, and needs assessment.
Just as each collection is unique, your digitization and preservation plans should reflect the
strengths and values of your organization. In this session, we’ll discuss how to be sure you are designing a project that can be achieved within the structure of the Digitizing Hidden Collections program for the CLIR and
sustained into the future. We’ll offer guidance on the technical specifications reviewers look for in the most competitive applications and explain some industry-standards concerning long-term digital preservation and sustainability.
1:1 Community Interview Examples & Tips for LibrariesWiLS
Presented at WLA 2021 Annual Conference, November 19th, by Laura Damon-Moore, WiLS; Martín Alvarado, Madison Public Library; Jon Mark Bolthouse, Fond du Lac Public Library
In this session, attendees will hear about three different case studies for using 1:1 interviews as an information gathering method in a library or other municipal setting: 1) to learn how people currently use a city service and how that service might evolve to better suit community needs; 2) to learn about the wider community’s and individuals’ goals and aspirations, and challenges they see or experience in order to inform a library’s planning process; 3) to tell a more complete story of a community’s history through 1:1 interviews. Along with these case studies, session organizers will offer some best practices and practical tips for conducting 1:1 interviews to support these similar yet distinct information gathering efforts.
The document provides an overview of the process and methodology for researching information architecture for a website. It discusses conducting background research, stakeholder interviews, technology assessments, content analysis, content mapping, benchmarking, and user research through surveys, contextual inquiries, focus groups, interviews, card sorting, and user testing. The research findings are then used to develop an information architecture strategy that provides high-level recommendations to guide the design of the site's organization, labeling, navigation, and content management.
Joining the National Digital Humanities Conversation: Communities, Conference...Rebecca Davis
This session is designed for scholars, broadly conceived, who are interested in joining the national (and international) conversation on the digital humanities. In particular, the organizers hope to provide a forum specifically targeted to those who might not have digital humanities resources on their own campuses or in their own regions, and those who might not have a sense of where to get started learning about the people and practices associated with the digital humanities. Recognizing that the digital humanities has a long history of practice, the panelists will introduce participants to a variety of online communities in which the digital humanities are discussed, conferences where one might be exposed to relevant conversations, and centers that focus on developing familiarity and fluency with digital humanities tools.
Jentery Sayers, an advanced doctoral candidate at the University of Washington, will talk about the role of digital humanities development opportunities, focusing on the Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the University of Victoria as a case study. Dave Lester, the Associate Director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, will be talking about getting started with digital humanities conferences, focusing on THATCamps as places for DH newbies to dip their toes into the field. Jason Jones, an associate professor of English at Central Connecticut State University, will discuss electronic DH communities, focusing specifically on ProfHacker and DHAnswers as sites that bring together communities of practice tackling specific issues.
This Digital Scholarship seminar will be facilitated by Ryan Cordell, Assistant Professor of English at St. Norbert College, and Daniel Chamberlain, Director of the Center for Digital Learning and Research at Occidental College.
A hands-on approach to digital tool criticism: Tools for (self-)reflectionMarijn Koolen
Digital tool criticism is a recent and important discussion in Digital Humanities research. We define digital tool criticism as the reflection on the role of digital tools in the research methodology and the evaluation of the suitability of a given digital tool for a specific research goal. The aim is to understand the impact of any limitation of the tool on the specific goal, not to improve a tool’s performance. That is, ensuring as a scholar to be aware of the impact of a tool on research design, methods, interpretations and outcomes. Our goal with developing digital tool criticism as a method is to help scholars better understand how research methods, tools and activities shape our interpretations. Based on our experiences with two hands-on workshops on digital tool criticism, we find that reflection on using digital tools and data in all phases of the research process is key.
Reflection urges scholars to consider digital data and tools as part of the overall research goals and design, and interdependent with other elements of research design, namely research questions and methods. As scholars go through their research process, assumptions on the research design and the connection between tools, data and questions are constantly challenged, forcing updates in the design and the interpretation of data and question.
This document discusses how educators can use screencasting tools like Jing and Screencast-o-Matic to enrich teaching and learning. It provides examples of how teachers and students can create screencasts for purposes like creating mini-lessons, demonstrating how-to tasks, and collaborating on projects. The document also reviews research that supports the educational benefits of screencasting and how it can develop students' digital, new, and multiple literacies as outlined in standards. Attendees are guided through creating sample screencasts using Jing and Screencast-o-Matic during the workshop.
This is a brief presentation intended to get instructors more comfortable with web 2.0 and social media sites. We cover several of the basic sites that lend themselves to educational use. We also discuss copyright, and university policy issues to keep in mind while using third party sites for educational activities.

Editor's Notes
At most basic basic, oral history is a recorded conversation, structured around questions that elicit the lived experiences of an interviewee.
These interviews are then transcribed and made accessible along with other interviews and are made accessible through some kind of repository.
Ubiquity of digital tools and platforms makes the prospect of conducting oral history project quite attractive. It changes the dynamic significantly, shifting to the possibility of projects without formal institutional support. Yet some of the same issues apply however you conceive project.
Presentation will take a broader view of oral history and affordances made available with digital tools and draw from my own experience working on digital oral history projects
Rather than offering advice and speak about what has worked for me, I would like to structure this presentation almost like an interview and pose questions for you to consider as if you were planning or involved in a digital oral history project.
Appreciate opportunity to speak but do not present myself as “expert” -- this work has been one aspect of my job -- but hope to facilitate an informed discussion.
Will leave time at the end for discussion, but feel free to raise questions as I go.
Tacoma Community History Project
A collection of over 80 oral histories with individuals primarily in Tacoma and South Puget Sound region.
A diversity of voices represented in the collection--includes projects on prominent civic leaders, labor unions, religious organizations, the military, but it is particularly strong in documenting the history of local ethnic and tribal communities.
The oral histories created by students in class that has been taught since 1992 on the UW Tacoma campus by Professor Michael Honey.
Student learn methods of conducting oral histories, then research and create their own oral history project. At end of quarter, students donate their project to the Library.
Became actively involved with project in 2010 when Dr. Honey received grant funds from the Puyallup Tribe to digitize the oral history projects. Embarked on a process of doing this and were able to digitize many of the projects.
Going forward, I began to provide the students guidance in how to create born-digital projects that would more easily be included in the collection.
UW Tacoma Founding Stories
During this past year began working on my own oral history project in collaboration with Charles Williams.
Many of the founding faculty members of our campus have retired or are approaching retirement. Dr. Williams wanted to begin interviewing them, and we began this project last year with the support of some grant and endowment funds to explore the founding and development of our campus.
This project is drawing upon my experience of working with TCHP, but focused more on a thematic set of interviews.
Comment
Rather than dive into the logistics of each project, I’d like now to discuss the larger questions and will occasionally touch on how we worked through them.
Will give high level view of projects, and at end of presentation, we can go back and dig into any particular area that you’d like to discuss more.
Not necessarily sequential, but ones that should be worked through iteratively. Yet broken down into three categories for simplicity. As we go through these, you’ll notice that we spend a lot of time in conceiving. Personally, I think that the more time you can spend in this phase, the more successful the project will be overall.
All of these questions focus on the organizing principle of the project. Before you consider technology, rights, etc., it seems essential to have a clearly articulated mission for the project.
A note about integrating oral histories into classes: reading book “Using DH in Classroom” by Battershill and Ross, and they describe a spectrum of DH activities that could be integrated into the classroom from “light” to “heavy.” Digital oral histories are “heavy” and time and resource-intensive. If you’re looking lighter approaches, perhaps you could design assignments around interacting with and evaluating existing projects.
Also, important ethical questions around labor when involving students, which leads us to:
By no means a comprehensive list, but this reflects my experience of doing oral history project. Another associated question underlying this:
What kinds of funding do you have to support the project? Grant funds are not necessary, but will the labor come out allocations of existing staff lines?
The more clearly articulated these things are up-front, the more successful the project will be and avoid bottlenecks that could occur through miscommunication.
For instance, when I began working on TCHP, the first thing I did was draw up an MOU with Dr. Honey. Sometimes this comes through process of writing grant. If not, perhaps you might consider a project charter.
Run through list but emphasize the work of transcribing interviews. Generally considered 2-3 hours for each interview. There is not yet AI that can speed this up, but there are some tools that can make it a little more effective.
Running through all of these quickly because I will touch on these at more length later on.
Quality of smartphone recorders increasing every day, but there are important issues about sound quality, fidelity, and consistency of recording that come into play. If working on individual project, may work. Many journalists use phone for recording.
For UW Tacoma Founding Stories project, we opted to purchased OH/DS kits that can be checked out by faculty members. The benefit of this is that we can make high quality, consistent records in a non-proprietary format.
Another big questions to consider is whether you want to have audio or video recording. Real benefits of seeing people, but video introduces large files.
This is another big question to consider. To my knowledge, there has not been a digital repository platform that is specifically designed for oral history projects. What this means is that these platforms must often be adapted to fit requirements for oral history and there may be trade-offs for access. Also, at times you lose potential audience engagement if digital repository platform doesn’t easily allow users to easily interact with interviews.
Decisions about platform will also influence how you can describe, organize, and present the oral histories.
Will note that I recently learned about Oral History Metadata Synchronizer, developed by the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky. It is a tool for indexing audio and video files, allowing users to go to specific segments of interviews. Haven’t yet had a chance to implement it, but it is something worth exploring.
Ah, rights and permissions. This is something best worked through in consultation with whomever will receive the oral histories. Also ties back to original vision of project. Many guidebooks and websites have sample deeds of gift you can use.
Discuss a little bit of what was done with TCHP: Variety of forms used over the years and decided that ultimately we would put any projects online that had a signed release form.
Going forward, we follow this policy and emphasize that projects must include signed release form.
Discussion of “life-story” interviews vs. profile interviews vs. narrative interviews.
Tool kit is very helpful to provide for interviewees. Checklist ensures consistency across interviews.
Each system has its limitations and requirements, some determined by software itself, other times by the organization. (e.g. Metadata Implementation Group)
Description determines findability, but also website may want to permit browsing of interviews. What are the groupings that you want to provide? How will these be represented in the metadata?
Another important thing to consider is the person’s identity and the relationship to the oral history. Want to avoid labelling people and best to align with the oral history itself.
Another important component that a digital project must consider, one I’m only now appreciating.
Interviews provide raw materials of history--what kinds of larger connections do you want to make? Will they part of larger analysis? Will they be published in book? Edited into larger narrative?
