Slides for a keynote speech at a workshop on religion and social media at ICSWM in Oxford, 26 May. I argued that the study of the live web has been too far separate from the study of the archived web, and there is much to gain from reuniting them. I also presented preliminary findings from two case studies into the rates of social media adoption by Christian organisations in the UK.

Peter Webster - Digital History - 11 June 2013

Digital History

The document discusses web archives as a new source of information for historians. It provides examples of tools that can be used to archive websites yourself. It then summarizes the UK Web Archive, a collection of over 13,000 archived UK websites totaling 20TB. The archive is a collaboration between the British Library, National Library of Wales, and JISC. The document outlines some of the datasets available from the UK Web Archive that have been generated for research purposes and provides examples of search tools that can be used to explore the archived websites. It concludes by discussing some of the methodological challenges in using web archives as historical sources.

Tentative steps in mining UK theses

openminted_eu

The document discusses the potential value of text and data mining UK theses. It notes that UK theses represent unique cutting-edge research not published elsewhere. The EThOS database contains metadata on over 430,000 UK theses totaling around 6 million pages of research annually. Several examples are provided of text and data mining projects that have extracted useful information from UK theses, such as identifying trends in dementia research and discovering new chemical compounds. While thesis metadata is openly available, accessing the full texts requires permission due to copyright. Overall, the document argues that UK theses represent a valuable untapped resource for text and data mining research.

Optimizing crowdsourcing websites for volunteer participation-Donelle-McKinle...

donellemckinley

This document discusses optimizing crowdsourcing websites for volunteer participation. It identifies 5 main elements that impact achieving the primary objective of a specific page or website: 1) the value proposition for why visitors should take action, 2) what will motivate visitors to take action, 3) incentives for taking action, 4) friction elements of the process, and 5) anxiety about entering information. It also references sources that provide more information on methodologies for analyzing websites and discusses how well public creativity, participation, and sharing can be imagined and rewarded.

The document provides information about the resources and services available at Durham University Library to support research. The library offers research training, copyright and open access guidance, and subject liaison librarians. It facilitates access to journals, books, and special collections. The library also promotes research through services like the institutional repository and research profiles. Study spaces, borrowing, printing, and other user services are also available to support researchers.

Stewardship of the Digital Scholarly Record and Digital Published Heritage

NASIG

This presentation discusses how The Keepers Registry and the network of Keepers is attempting to tackle the issue of digital preservation for electronic serials specifically. First identifying the scope of the problem being addressed, it moves on to the successes, in preservation and in measuring that preservation, before moving on to the challenges still to be surmounted. It touches upon some of the specific cases on which this preservation is focussing, including legal deposit and regional library consortia, as well as engagement with OA journals. It finishes with the broader plan of action to help allow the Keepers to accomplish their digital preservation goals, laid out in the statement they issued last August, calling upon all stakeholders in the world of scholarly communication, notably both publishers and research libraries, and setting actions they can take to help in this mission. Speaker: Ted Westervelt, Library of Congress

Hub and Spokes Development June07

Jane Stevenson

The Archives Hub is a union catalogue that holds over 20,000 archival finding aids from 150 institutions. It provides a search interface for academics and students to discover archival collections throughout the UK. The service is funded by JISC but free to access by all. Responsibility for creating descriptions lies with the contributing institutions, who structure their data according to archival XML standards. The development of a software called Spokes now allows institutions to host descriptions locally while still being part of the distributed Archives Hub service.

WARCnet

This document discusses the cultural significance and ethical implications of web archiving based on two case studies: Archive Team and the archiving of Tumblr content. It addresses how the cultural priorities and technical commitments of archivists shape what and how content is archived. It reflects on how preemptive archiving interfaces with platforms' large-scale removal of social media content. The document examines Archive Team's origins and ethos of treating all websites equally and prioritizing urgent action over debates. It raises questions about whose archives are being created and whose ethics guide archiving decisions that can impact online communities.

When a MOOC became a GROOC we all became co-creators

Alannah Fitzgerald

Presented at the Open Education Global Conference 2016 in Krakow, Poland on April 12 Abstract: In the fall of 2015, McGill University launched its first offering of Social Learning for Social Impact (SLSI), a 12-week group-based MOOC - or GROOC - hosted by non-profit MOOC provider, edX. Drawing on connectivist MOOC, social, and experiential learning principles, SLSI attempts to translate an ambitious social mission into an online platform for sustained social learning. As course facilitators, we are uniquely positioned to explore the origins and development of SLSI’s networked learning ecosystem designed with concerned citizens in mind. We discuss the current limitations and challenges of open online education practices, particularly in relation to group-based learning, and how this first iteration, which we call GROOC 1.0, attempted to overcome these by crafting a highly adaptable, participatory curriculum that positioned learners and facilitators as co-creators who can also inform the design and delivery of GROOC 2.0. We explore how course designers actively encouraged learners to subvert the constraints of the edX platform and even of SLSI’s formal curriculum so they might achieve their particular objectives. Similarly with the pro bono facilitators who were coached from the outset to anticipate confusion and uncertainty, trust their own judgment to resolve problems, and support one another, the call was to be subversive. The systems in place, it was acknowledged, might not be optimally suited to serve the learners. Furthermore, we discuss the technical elements that support and constrain the online infrastructure. For example, to support SLSI’s vision of group-based learning, edX released a “Team Forum” tool that - beyond helping learners form their initial teams - proved inadequate to foster the kind of group engagement necessary for sustained social initiative-building. This shortcoming prompted many learners (along with their facilitators) to emigrate to a combination of more suitable digital platforms and connectivity apps like Facebook and Google Apps to accelerate social learning for (eventual) social impact. We also discuss the feedback mechanisms embedded into the curriculum and the opportunities to course-correct, which, for the SLSI’s design team, was a clear priority, so that any real-time adaptations could be shared with facilitators. For example, open licensing for course content and the development of open education policy were issues raised by learners and facilitators in GROOC 1.0. Furthermore, we anticipate that McGill University will engage with the open education community to share insights about the implementation and outcomes of SLSI through conferences like Open Education Global 2016 as we plan for GROOC 2.0.

Pip Willcox

“The undiscover’d country”: digital special collections, scholarship, scale, and society For decades scholars have been using digital technologies to discover, locate, and view libraries' special collections. Increasingly these collections are available online, and their readers come from far beyond the academy, everywhere that people have access to the internet. Use of online resources is driven by curiosity and pleasure, as well as research. Digital tools and technologies with these collections—record, image, text—speed up traditional enquiry and enable entirely new questions to be imagined and answered. This talk gives a broad overview of the field, illustrated by case studies from the Bodleian Digital Library. This talk was given as a Friends of the Bodleian public lecture, in the Weston Library, University of Oxford, 1 December 2015.
