THURS C1 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM Do Humanities & Social Sciences E-books Get Used? Location: Holiday Inn, Cooper Room B Thread: FOR Speakers: Matt Barnes – ebrary; Neil Sorensen – ebrary; Carol Zsulya - Cleveland State University It is a common belief that e-books are less conducive to studies and general research in the humanities and social sciences. As the reasoning goes, patrons in these fields are primarily interested in immersive reading and e-books do not suit this purpose. In this session speakers will present a case that this belief is largely false. Utilizing ebrary usage statistics that go back more than a decade and span multiple library types, evidence will be presented that suggests patrons do utilize e-books in many of the humanities and social sciences, and in many cases, utilize this material quite heavily. Speakers will interpret the data presented and discuss how findings here could better inform collection and acquisition decisions in libraries. Discussion with attendees will be encouraged.

ITCamp 2019 - Peter Leeson - Vitruvian QualityITCamp
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, commonly known as Vitruvius, was a Roman author, architect, civil engineer and military engineer during the 1st century BC. He is known for his multi-volume work entitled “De architectura” and his discussion of perfect proportion in architecture and the human body, which led, among others to the famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci called the “Vitruvian Man”.
Within the principles of “Vitruvian Quality”, we seek to find those perfect proportions and how to align all components of the business architecture in order to make them fit the human needs of the impacted stakeholders.

http://netpreserve.org/ga2019/programme/wac/
This paper presents the results of a study to examine, determine and propose the optimal approach to develop impact assessment indicators for the UK Web Archive (UKWA). In the United Kingdom, legal deposit libraries collaboratively operate a nationwide web archiving project, the UKWA, which has collected over 500 TB of data and is growing by approximately 60–70 TB a year. At the same time, UK publicly funded organisations face reduced funding and the challenge of convincing funders to finance their archival function by undergoing evaluations of their services’ values.
Under such circumstances, a proper assessment of the values and impacts of web archiving is a point of discussion for cultural heritage organisations. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has not yet been a comprehensive assessment or evaluation of the UKWA conducted. Thus, this paper seeks to answer the research question: “What would the indicators of impact assessment for the UKWA be?” As a result, we propose a set of impact assessment indicators for the UKWA (and web archiving in general) with broad strategic perspectives including social, cultural, educational and economic impact.
This study examines and proposes the optimal approach to develop impact assessment indicators for the UKWA. The research began by analysing the literature of impact assessment frameworks for digital resources and the types of impact in related fields. Primarily drawing from Simon Tanner’s Balanced Value Impact Model (BVI Model), this research then proposes impact indicators for the UKWA and develops an impact assessment plan consisting of three stages: context setting, indicator development, and indicator evaluation.
This paper will present the method and results of the study. Firstly, it identified the UKWA’s foundational context, the mission, the principal values and the key stakeholder groups. The research project prioritised focal areas for the archive that seem most advantageous for stakeholders and aligned with Tanner’s Value Lenses. Secondly, we proposed the UKWA impact assessment indicators; scrutinising existing indicators and various evidence collection methods. In the third stage, the developed indicators’ functionality was checked against set quality criteria and then tested through semi-structured interviews and survey submissions with 8 UKWA staff members.
Finally, the paper presents the thirteen potential indicators for the UKWA. Based on the lessons learned, presenters will also make recommendations for organisations which recognise the necessity of undertaking impact assessments of their web archives.

Proposing the modes of digital value for a memory institutionSimon Tanner
Keynote delivered to the Museums and Digital Memory: from creation and curation to digital preservation - a British Museum conference: Monday 3rd september 2018
#MADM2018
ABSTRACT
I conceive of museums as ‘memory institutions’ as they assume a common aspiration in preserving, organizing and making available the cultural and intellectual records of their societies. Within this context the way they value their work and activity is a critical conception, especially in fast moving digital times. Value is individually understood and attributed but collectively shared and thus magnified. The word ‘value’ describes an idea about economics, an idea about personal expression and an idea about morality. Often these may be seen as in tension with each other. As the anthropologist Daniel Miller stresses value when expressed as ‘prices’ is directly opposed to value understood as ‘values’.
In a heritage context tangible value is often associated with artefacts, historic sites or places that are considered by organizations like UNESCO or ICOMOS as ‘inherently and intrinsically of value’. Intangible value is considered to be something that cannot be touched (such as education or social memory) or has a large information component and has greater fluidity, possibly changing in value over time and between different groups (such as beliefs, interests or symbolic associations). Intangible value is essential to appreciate for both memory institutions and digital resources - they rely on intangible values such as knowledge, social memory, education, brand or goodwill.
In my paper I argue for defining modes of value for digital culture in museums not solely driven by economics but which contain indicators of other more intangible values, even including non-use.
These 5 Value Lenses focus attention reflecting core values measured for their impact. The 5 Value Lenses are:
Utility Value
Existence and/or Prestige Value
Education Value
Community Value
Inheritance / Legacy Value
These will be described in the paper and their usefulness to museums digital curation activities will be aligned.

Through a glass, darkly – reflections upon digitisationSimon Tanner
Digitisation is a process in which we seek to find a digital future from the material cultures and intellectual objects of the past. We seek to reflect upon these to gain new insights and possibly even fresh enlightenment. But as Paul the apostle stated in 1 Corinthians 13:12: “we see through a glass, darkly” and have an obscure or imperfect vision. Simon Tanner hopes in this keynote he will add light by sharing his reflections upon the benefits and value of digitization to research and scholarship. Further he will seek to provoke debate and discussion – can we see more clearly by using digitization as a means to investigate the past?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

‘Memory institutions’ as a collective phrase for libraries, museums
and archives dates back at least to 1994 with first usage attributed to
Swedish information scientist Roland Hjerppe.
By using the phrase ‘memory institution’ I am assuming a common
aspiration across multiple sectors in preserving, organizing and
making available the cultural and intellectual records of their
societies. It also reflects the confluence with the growth in digital.
A wider variety of organisations, such as schools, universities, media corporations, government or
religious bodies could also legitimately be ascribed this title. For instance, the British Broadcasting
Company; a University Press; or the Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive would fit the definition
as well.

Pakistan
There's nothing more valuable than knowledge - Cape Times

The Library of Congress Historic American Newspapers site:
154,205 titles with 12 million pages searchable newspaper
The British Newspaper Archive is showing >20 million pages
Trove in Australia provides access to over 20 million pages from
over 1000 Australian newspapers + mass crowdsourcing
The National Library of Turkey is unique for having digitized its
entire collection of 800,000 pages and 845 titles.
Nineteenth-century media expert, Jim Mussell, thinks of ‘the aura of old
newspapers in hard copy and what happens when this is remediated digitally…
Digitization returns newspapers to us, but differently’

(some) Digitised Newspapers
13. @SimonTanner
Digitized collections are only a fragment of the newspapers available.
The European Newspaper Survey Report states: "Only 12 (26%) of the
libraries had digitized more than 10% of their collection (either in
terms of titles or page numbers), and only two of those had done
more than 50%.”
In the British Library alone there are approximately 450 million pages
of printed material with roughly 20 million pages digitized.
The BL Heritage Made Digital will add a further 1.3m pages from
c.180 newspaper titles by March 2020 plus open data-sets.

Only scratching the surface?

Obvious benefits of digitised newspapers to libraries are:
providing enhanced access to information,
more opportunities to ask sophisticated research questions,
long term retention of sustainable digital resources,
honouring the legacy and prestige of the library collection, and
increased engagement with the public record and memory
institutions by their communities.

24. Opening Access vs Unfunded Mandates
“What do scholars want?”
Whether we work with digital or paper-based resources
our basic needs are the same.
We all want our cultural record to be comprehensive, stable, and accessible.
And we all want to be able to augment that record with our own contributions.”
Jerome McGann, Sustainability: the Elephant in the Room.
Paper for the 2010 Conference, Digital Humanities Scholarship: The Shape of Things to Come, University of Virginia.
