A Guide Not A Sage: Respect Not Fear For Undergraduates Using Special Collect...Elaine Harrington
Lecturers are now deliberately engaging with Special Collections’ material with specific methodologies or for specific purposes. Prof. Pádraig Ó Macháin (Modern Irish) created three research-focused hands-on approach modules dealing with manuscript material and the mechanisms for manuscript research for 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates. These students are familiar with the printed book but less so with handwritten manuscript items. Dr Edel Semple (English) co-ordinates a problem-based enquiry module for 1st year undergraduates which focuses on the short story. These students use UCC Library’s short story collections to create magazines with entries on ‘the future of the short story’ and ‘a day in the life of a writer.’ CIT’s Crawford College of Art & Design 1st year Fine Art and Contemporary Applied Art students visit Special Collections through CorkPAL to view UDCs as physical objects. As the physical objects have a presence that no reproduction or digitised object can approach viewing and interacting with the items informs their artistic endeavours. When each group visits Special Collections librarian and lecturer work together to show the students procedures particular for Special Collections, non-Dewey classification schemes and items important for that module’s focus. There are difficulties for library staff and users alike which must be managed when such groups come to Special Collections. Library staff must know what resources users seek and how best to direct the user without interfering in the research process itself as the library staff members are guides not sages. Users may find the level of care and procedures required intimidating unless they realise the reasons for which these procedures exist. This paper explores the type and level of engagement required from module creation to assignment submission.

My talk will feature some of the outreach and promotional projects undertaken by the Library and Archive Service at Bangor University. These projects and activities fulfil our commitment to providing quality outreach work which opens doors between the University and the community at large. In the past few years we have completed a number of new and novel projects which have been designed to showcase the collections and offer original context in which to present the collections to the public. This led to Bangor Library and Archive Service shortlisted for a prestigious Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Award (THELMA) for their outreach and community engagement work in 2017. As well as bringing Town and Gown together, these projects also provide an opportunity for Bangor students to volunteer and win employability credits working alongside specialists form various agencies. From a University standpoint the aim is to encourage the public to be comfortable in the University setting and raise learning aspirations of individuals of all age.

The Library as a Digital Research infrastructure: Digital Initiatives and Dig...lorna_hughes
Memory institutions have built up expertise and taken the lead in all aspects of digital humanities, especially the development and implementation of digital methods for the capture, analysis and dissemination of archives and special collections, including manuscripts. In recent years, these initiatives have become embedded into Digital Humanities Initiatives, Centres and Programmes within research libraries, adding value to the existing relationships between libraries and scholarly iniatiatives. These activities have fostered the development of new projects that bring into collaboration the skills and expertise of academics, librarians, and digital humanists, making the Library increasingly a “digital research infrastructure”. This presentation will discuss these developments based on the experience of the Research Programme in Digital Collections at the National Library of Wales, specifically discussing some recent experimentation with new methods for manuscript digitization and dissemination, including hyperspectral digitization of the Library’s Chaucer manuscripts. The presentation will also discuss the wider embedding of this work within the European Digital Humanities Context, through collaborations with the ESF Research Network Programe NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities).

Digital Manuscripts Toolkit, using IIIF and JavaScript. Monica Messaggi KayaFuture Insights
FOWA London 2015
Monica is part of the DMT project at the Bodleian Libraries (University of Oxford) that aims to create a toolkit using IIIF standard (http://iiif.io) for images, a server solution (to store images of manuscripts and metadata), and a client solution using JavaScript to build an authoring tool that allows editing the manuscript manifest and its metadata. Working specifically on the authoring tool, and on the challenges that different types of manifests presents for the developer. You will have a glimpse of the whole picture and then she taps into the libraries used, choices made, collaboration experiences and lessons learned so far.
Culture Untapped: inspirational content & fresh ideas for your gamesMilena Popova
Games are often brain- and resource-intensive projects. Why not save precious time and exploit untapped, powerful sources of inspiration and material? Discover Europeana, a digital platform for culture giving access to over 43 million records of great thematic and media variety, coming from 3300 heritage organizations and available in 31 languages.
This presentation shows how this huge database can help game creation process with fresh ideas and “building blocks” of diverse and high-quality digital content. Game developers will look at inspiring content picks, learn more about technical tools and services to access and use the digital material and see some real-life examples of creative re-use of cultural content in educational and tourism games.
Presentation given at Digital Humanities Research Colloquium, 10 October 2018.
After the recent fire at the National Museum of Brazil the Bendegó meteorite was one of the few artefacts left relatively intact. Considering the cycle of creation and destruction of libraries from the time of the library in Alexandria to now, how do libraries prepare for this type of event and are libraries phoenix-like in their re/creation? In this presentation I discuss the different forms of destruction and re/creation and what this might mean for the library of the future.
Elaine Harrington, Special Collections Librarian, uses case studies to discuss the different types of engagement she has with academic staff and students in relation to Special Collections. Case studies will include show & tell class visits to Special Collections, modules that use specific methodologies for both undergraduates and postgraduates, exhibitions and events.
This presentation was given as part of UCC's Instructional Design TEL Tasters 2017 programme.

Presentation given at Digital Humanities Research Colloquium, 18 October 2017.
Abstract: On 11 October 2017 UCC's Office of the Vice President for Teaching & Learning hosted a #nextgenspaces learning event. One of the speakers, Prof. Stephen Heppell, noted the following: ‘next generation is here and it means business’ and ‘students are going to a world of surprises.’ With these points in mind how do libraries prepare for the library of the future? In this presentation I discuss traditional expertise and how this is adapted for the uncharted territories of the future.

A look at the Geography resources available at the SLV. All are free to use and only the information databases require a login, which can easily be obtained by registering as a library user.
Of course, there are not just books in the State Library’s collection. What other sorts of things do you think you could find? Books, newspapers, pictures, CDs, videos, DVDs, manuscripts, maps and magazines are just some of the things that you can find. Altogether, there are around 5 million items!
DID YOU KNOW? ‘ Illuminated’ originally meant the gold or silver decoration because it ‘lit up’ the page!
Most people were Catholic and took their faith very seriously.
