This document discusses HathiTrust, a digital repository managed by over 60 partner institutions, as a potential repository for government documents. It provides an overview of HathiTrust, noting that it contains over 10 million volumes, including over 2.9 million public domain volumes. The document estimates that around 300,000 titles in HathiTrust, or 4% of the total, are US government documents, with 80% of those being in the public domain. It compares the ability to find full text of documents between HathiTrust and Google Books. The document outlines who can access what within HathiTrust and how content can be searched, discovered, and loaded into local library catalogs. It acknowledges challenges around searching, copyright statuses, and metadata

Gone today, here tomorrow: the future of government information and the digit...James Jacobs
The document discusses challenges facing government information libraries in the digital era. Specifically, it notes that while digital distribution allows for more convenient access, it often lacks standards and policies for long-term preservation. It also argues that calls for digitizing print collections could damage long-term preservation efforts and that the privatization of government information has paradoxically decreased public access despite being digital. The talk will explore strategies for digital collection and collaboration that uphold principles of public access and preservation.
This document discusses library privacy in the modern technological era. It outlines how library privacy is being compromised through the Patriot Act, self-service holds, and library 2.0 initiatives that encourage patrons to share personal information online. While libraries need to evolve with technology, they also have an obligation to protect patron privacy according to the ALA Code of Ethics. The document examines debates around balancing privacy with open access to information and maintaining library relevance.

Blockchains have been proposed as a solution for many problems in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs). Several organizations are researching potential applications of blockchain for GLAMs, such as building enhanced metadata systems, tracking digital ownership rights, and verifying that archived documents are not altered. However, there is currently no widely agreed upon definition of blockchain technology. Accurate terminology is needed to clarify what blockchains are and are not capable of, and to guide effective implementation and regulation. Researchers are working to develop standardized blockchain taxonomies to help distinguish between public and private systems and improve understanding of this emerging technology.

This is a presentation delivered on December 1, 2020 by the UC Berkeley Library's Office of Scholarly Communication Services and the Research Data Management Program.
Are you unsure about how you can use or reuse other people’s data in your teaching or research, and what the terms and conditions are? Do you want to share your data with other researchers or license it for reuse but are wondering how and if that’s allowed? Do you have questions about university or granting agency data ownership and sharing policies, rights, and obligations? We will provide clear guidance on all of these questions and more in this interactive webinar on the ins-and-outs of data sharing and publishing.
- Explore venues and platforms for sharing and publishing data
- Unpack the terms of contracts and licenses affecting data reuse, sharing, and publishing
- Help you understand how copyright does (and does not) affect what you can do with the data you create or wish to use from other people
- Consider how to license your data for maximum downstream impact and reuse
- Demystify data ownership and publishing rights and obligations under university and grant policies

This document discusses how libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) have engaged with Wikipedia and Wikidata. It lists examples of different collaboration methods between LAMs and Wikipedia/Wikidata, such as having a Wikipedian-in-Residence, holding edit-a-thon events to improve articles, crowdsourcing content from collections, and using Wikidata for digital preservation. It also discusses potential reasons why a LAM would engage with Wikipedia/Wikidata, such as to improve articles by adding verifiable information, increase traffic to their own websites, and use Wikipedia as an instructional tool for their collections.

Overview of Legal Information for TennesseansErik Cole
LIFT (www.legalinfotn.org) is a new online portal that provides Tennessee residents with a one-stop resource for legal information. It allows users to search for legal information and assistance by county, library, or legal topic. The portal is optimized for use on mobile devices. It provides self-help legal information, online forms, and links to find free legal representation or ask a lawyer a question. Participating libraries will have their own profile pages where they can add local legal resources. Trainings will educate librarians on how to use the site and assist patrons with legal issues. The goal is to make accurate legal information accessible to all Tennessee residents.
Leslie Johnston Keynote, Best Practices Exchange 2011lljohnston
This document discusses how digital collections are now considered data rather than just records or content. It notes that researchers want to analyze entire collections as data sets rather than individual records. Large digital collections like web archives, historic newspapers, and Twitter archives contain billions of records that researchers want to query, analyze, and visualize as data. Institutions are collaborating through groups like the National Digital Stewardship Alliance and developing open source tools like ViewShare to support access to and preservation of these "big data" collections.
This document discusses efforts to 'queer' or decolonize traditional knowledge organization systems by making them more inclusive of LGBTQ+ communities and perspectives. It provides a brief history of advocacy work beginning in the 1970s to improve subject headings and classification of LGBTQ+ materials. More recently, librarians in Durham created a new classification system for an LGBTQ+ center to better represent those communities. Future directions may include more tagging systems, multiple access points, and non-standardized schemas, though some argue for updating terms while retaining older ones. The goal is to respectfully weave LGBTQ+ communities into the conversation around knowledge organization."
The document discusses challenges and opportunities around preserving complex web content and social media. It provides examples of complex web objects like interactive stories and games that are difficult to archive using traditional tools. Social media poses additional problems like terms of service restrictions, personal data protection, and capturing dynamic conversations. However, there are also opportunities to prevent loss of cultural heritage, improve public services, and trial new preservation tools and methods. The event will include case studies on archiving interactive fiction, Twitter data for research, and web collections in museums.

A presentation I gave on behalf of National Business Institute. This presentation covers approximately half of the material offered in the full seminar.
This document provides an introduction to open data journalism, discussing key concepts. It defines open data journalism as obtaining, reporting on, curating and publishing data in the public interest. The document outlines four steps in data journalism: finding data, connecting and interrogating data, expressing data through visualization and personalization, and provides examples and tools for each step. Overall, the document promotes the use of open data and data journalism techniques to move beyond just reporting events to providing deeper context and insights into issues.
Library 2.0 refers to innovations in library services and procedures that incorporate new technologies and are user-centered, participatory, and collaborative. It provides 24/7 access, allows information to flow in many directions, and reaches patrons through web 2.0 applications. This increases access points and helps librarians' service goals while enhancing traditional resources. Library 2.0 is adapting to future changes like semantic web innovations. It incorporates various web 2.0 technologies like social media, RSS feeds, wikis, blogs, and more to interact with patrons.

This document discusses big data in the context of the web. It covers topics such as the volume, variety, and velocity of big data; how the wisdom of crowds can be leveraged through data aggregation; challenges like sparsity, noise, and privacy; and examples of mining web data through techniques like clustering pictures on Flickr and analyzing click distributions. The document emphasizes that data must address important problems and proposes focusing on problem-driven approaches to analyzing large, diverse web data.
Folksonomies allow users to personally classify and tag online content using their own vocabulary, rather than relying on a controlled taxonomy. While this provides flexibility, it can also introduce inconsistencies. Researchers are exploring ontological approaches to mapping related tags to concepts to improve search and recommendations. Sites like Flickr, Tumblr, and LibraryThing employ folksonomies, allowing users to tag items to make them easier for others to find.
Information Governance: accentuating the positive, eliminating the negativeHeather Jack
This presentation was delivered to the Open Knowledge Foundation Scotland group at their Edinburgh meetup on 28th Jan 2015. It's purpose was raise awareness about the fundamental importance of good information governance (IG) to the success of big and open data initiatives. It also suggests reasons why there has been a lack of robust information governance controls underpinning open data initiatives, not least because of the poor "street cred" of information governance and records management at national, local and individual levels
This document discusses open data and privacy concerns in the humanities. It outlines that while open data has benefits, some humanities and social science data contains personal details that require protections. Three examples show challenges with medical records, subscriber lists, and student work. The document examines how data can be anonymized but still useful, and questions if IRB rules are too strict. Overall, it argues that fully open or closed access are sometimes false dichotomies, and more nuanced policies are needed to both protect privacy and enable collaborative research.

Rights to privacy and freedom of expression in public libraries: squaring the...dmcmenemy
This paper highlights some of the tensions faced in public libraries in the United Kingdom between the desires to support patrons’ rights to privacy and freedom of expressions, versus the reality of modern practice. Considering both privacy and freedom of expression as ethical concepts, it then discusses some examples from the UK where the tensions between privacy and freedom of expression manifest in practice, including around filtering and government initiatives to tackle extremism, as well as issues around cloud storage of user data. It concludes with a discussion on how public libraries and the profession in the UK must struggle to balance the competing interests of patrons and the state, and encourages the profession to address the tensions head on by regular and rigorous debate as to the issues.
The two-day Intelligent Information Symposium in May 2012 in Sydney featured workshops and keynote speakers on topics related to the future of libraries and information professionals. Day 1 included workshops on preparing for multiple futures and disruptive forces that may impact libraries by 2018-2025. Day 2 consisted of keynote speeches on engaging customers online, failing productively to drive learning, and envisioning post-print libraries, as well as intensive sessions on social media strategies and connecting clients to resources. The conference explored challenges and opportunities for the field.
2011 U of Indiana - Ethics and Collecting Social Media: Twitter and the Libra...Todd Suomela
The document discusses the Library of Congress's 2010 announcement that it would archive the complete Twitter corpus from the company's founding. It raises privacy concerns about archiving billions of public tweets without users' consent. Through a textual analysis of press releases and articles, it finds privacy was often dismissed in discussions of the archive's potential research and historic value. However, the archive may conflict with archiving and library ethics of protecting individuals' privacy and raising questions about how privacy is defined in the digital age. It concludes more consideration of privacy is needed when making decisions that could expose people's words to future access.
Legal Research in the Age of Cloud ComputingNeal Axton
This presentation discusses the impact of the mass communication technologies including the Internet and Cloud Computing on the practice of law and legal research. This presentation was given the Advanced Legal Research class at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota of August 23, 2013 by Neal R. Axton, JD, MLIS.
This document discusses different perspectives on digital humanities. It partitions digital humanities into four areas: traditional scholarship about digital things, data analysis using digital tools, data representation using digital tools, and making digital tools. Each area is then briefly described, with examples provided. The document also discusses how digital tools and techniques are being applied in humanities research processes and outputs.

This document discusses and evaluates several perspectives on technology. It addresses:
1) The challenges of assessing the accuracy of online information due to biases in search engines, Wikipedia contributions, and popularity-based news rankings.
2) How the internet enables access to more information sources but some people only consume narrow perspectives by selectively choosing websites that confirm their views.
3) Criticisms that reliance on technologies can encourage "mental laziness" and reduce responsibility, though others argue it allows focus on new skills.
4) Factors to consider when evaluating the accuracy of computer models, including underlying scientific understanding and how well predictions match real-world data.
The document summarizes Robert Stribley's attendance at the 2016 Internet Freedom Festival in Valencia, Spain from March 1-6. It provides details about the location of the festival in Valencia, the number of attendees from 74 countries, the 8 tracks and 160 sessions covered, and some of the sessions and highlights that Stribley attended. These included a UX jam on the GridSync app, a session on designing with users that discussed needfinding, and sessions on the gender gap on Wikipedia, grassroots surveillance resistance in libraries, and journalism security.
This document discusses issues around free speech and technology. It covers topics like changing communication paradigms, tensions between free speech and offensive speech, censorship in cyberspace, anonymity, spam, and ensuring diverse online content. Specifically, it examines how new technologies like the internet do not neatly fit within existing regulatory frameworks for print, broadcast and common carrier media. It also explores debates around what constitutes offensive or obscene speech, and how this interacts with laws around hate speech and child pornography. Approaches to addressing these issues through censorship and filtering are also critiqued.
Media law for community journalists and bloggersjtownend
A presentation given to participants at the Community Journalism Conference, Cardiff University, 16 January 2013, setting out the legal landscape for online publishers and asking for responses to a survey
This document summarizes a presentation on big data given by Sir Mark Walport, the UK's Chief Scientific Adviser. It discusses the opportunities and risks of big data, including how it can improve health and infrastructure but also enable privacy violations. While data can be anonymized, it is difficult to fully protect privacy due to the ability to match anonymous data with other public datasets. Both utopian and dystopian futures are possible depending on how data is governed and balanced with individual privacy. Moving forward will require advances in technology, open communication, and governance measures to control data access.

Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...Micah Altman
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.
Discriminatory filtering by agenda-driven vendors prevents access to information and websites about LGBTQ* minorities. Internet filters engage in viewpoint discrimination. They censor access, silence LGBTQ* voices, render them digitally invisible, and perpetuate homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.
The Internet is the critical source of information for young people in the 21st century, particularly LGBTQ* adolescents and allies. Young people in poverty and those living in rural areas are the most vulnerable, so having access to the Internet solely through filters is dangerous to their mental, spiritual, and physical health.
Global information rights and social responsibility are essential foundations for universal human rights in 21st century digital environments.
Are We Measuring the Right Things? From Disclosing Datasets to! Reshaping Da...Jonathan Gray
The document discusses reshaping data infrastructures and the implications for open data initiatives and advocacy. It notes that for beneficial ownership advocacy in the UK, disclosure of existing datasets was not enough, and civil society organizations had to undertake sustained engagement to influence development of data infrastructure systems. This included research on costs, functionality and legislation around public registries of beneficial ownership. It highlights how campaigners must look beyond released information to how information is collected and generated through infrastructure. The document also discusses implications for measuring the right things and new forms of "statactivism" to shape what and how things are measured through infrastructure.

Dressler Kristof The Right to be Forgotten and Digital Collections
1. The Right to be Forgotten and
digital collections: Surveying
practice and policy at ARL
member institutions
Virginia Dressler, Digital Projects Librarian
Cindy Kristof, Head, Copyright Services & Document Delivery
Information Freedom, Ethics and Integrity, NISO Virtual Conference
April 18, 2018
2. Being Forgotten throughout History
• Richard Brown (1997)
• In 15th and 16th century Italy, under the Duke of Ferrera,
newly-released prisoners were given the opportunity, on
the occasion of three significant annual festivals, to
destroy records of past offences.
• Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis (1890)
• Published “The Right to Privacy” in the Harvard Law
Review
• Articulated and encouraged the concept of the ‘right to be let
alone’, as a right of an individual to enjoy life through the desire
of privacy in an increasingly more documented and public world.
3. Delete by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger (2011)
• Subtitle: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age
• The notion of the ability for one to forget in order to begin
anew has been crucial throughout human history
• Calls for an equivalent to forgetting to take place in the
world of “infallible machines” and “constant accessibility
to information”
• “Expiration dates” for information
4. The Age of Google
• May 2014 – Mario Costeja González – European Court of
Justice ruled against Google
• 1998 article in La Vanguardia
• Called even more attention to his case
• Streisand Effect
• Google developed a methodology, but only for the EU
• Dec 2009 – Kevin Vanginderen – US Federal Judge
dismissed appeal
• 1983 article in Cornell Chronicle
• Case was dismissed because “university did not defame
the Plaintiff because the information was accurate”

8. What are libraries doing about this?
• Do libraries get take-down requests?
• If so, how do we react?
• What are our policies?
• Are we consistent?
• Do we need a set of guidelines as a profession other
than what we already have?
• Our survey focuses on requests made directly to the
institution publishing the digital content, and not the
search engine.
9. Results
• 124 ARL member institutions were
surveyed
• 25.8% response rate
• Survey divided roughly between
demographical questions &
hypothetical scenarios
• Article on full results of survey
currently available on CR&L preprint
(To be published Jan 2019)
13. Takedown requests + Policy
Presence of policy
• 11 indicated some kind of policy to
address takedown requests *
• 9 indicated a draft in the works
“Yes, we have a commitment to
academic freedom- we will take
down content that violates copyright,
but won’t with a knee jerk reaction
take down content that someone
finds offensive.”
14. Staffing
•Requests the number of FT and
PT positions, and titles
•93% have at least 2 FT positions
in place
•Varying titles and responsibilities
15. Hypothetical questions (Q1)
You receive a request for a name to be removed from a
particular item in your digital library, directly from the
individual in question. The requester claims that the
inclusion of their name in an openly accessible digital library
violates their privacy.
The name appears in print in your digital regional
newspaper collection, within the student newspaper that
was published in print at your institution and later digitized
for the digital collection. This content has been run through
optical character recognition (OCR) software, and has been
fully indexed by search engines such as Google. How
would you respond?
16. Some selected answers
• “I would check with our [General Counsel], but would
assume that no change would be required- we are merely
providing access to an already existing item and would not
want to modify the historical record.”
• “We would redact the name somehow if the person felt
strongly about it.”
• “We would maintain the digital representation of the
newspaper while removing the name from the OCR text file
to prevent crawlers from indexing the name and making it
easily discovered.”
17. …And a few more…
• “We would discuss their reasons and explain it’s a news
source and we can’t change it. It would be unethical to alter
news from the past. If they claim the article is defamatory,
we would refer them to University Council.”
• “Don’t waste my time- Find yourself a lawyer and schedule
an appointment with them to talk about your privacy.”
18. Real-life scenarios
• One institution reported that copyright ownership &
cultural sensitivity were the two major decision points.
• Another institution redacted Social Security numbers,
after the content had been published
• Removal an oral history file
19. Take-aways/Discussion
• Lack of consistency in practice
• Lack of understanding of the nature of takedown
requests and copyright
• Many institutions lack a policy or guiding principles to
assist with decision making
• Long-term effect of varying practice on openly
accessible digital collections
• (And are they really openly accessible digital collections
anymore??)
20. Complexities, Conundrums and other Pickles
• Can there be exceptions?
• Request from family member regarding violent crime
involving an alum
• A call for a higher level of transparency in final decision
making & display of policy
21. Tales from Kent State…
• Daily Kent Stater edits-Threat to sue redux & inspiration for
survey
• Creation of a task force to define procedures and
‘Modifications to Digital Content’
• Process now in place to address requests for removal of
information in student newspaper:
1. Make a public records request regarding their concern
2. Submit documentation as proof of an inaccuracy to the
Office of Student Media, who will make the decision about
redaction or correction
3. Office of Student Media will communicate the final decision
to University Libraries, who will in turn make any
corrections
