The document discusses a pilot program where the Student Technology Services (STS) Help Desk was located in the Olin Library on the Danforth Campus of Washington University. The pilot aimed to determine if non-South Forty students needed basic STS support services and if STS student staff could support this service long term. The pilot found that both STS student staff and library staff were comfortable with the arrangement, and that the students who received support through the pilot were satisfied with the service.
Documenting Ferguson: Building a community digital repositoryChris Freeland
The August 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, along with other recent police-involved shootings around the country have inspired demonstrations, conversation, debate and calls for systemic change in our society. Soon after Brown’s shooting, Washington University Libraries and other St. Louis cultural heritage institutions established a repository to document events in or inspired by Ferguson. Appropriately named Documenting Ferguson, this community-sourced open repository now has more than 1,500 files of digital photographs, video recordings and other media contributed from all over the country. These are viewable online at http://digital.wustl.edu/ferguson. Video of this talk available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6whGNsesYA.
Newman Numismatic Portal Overview - Mar 2015Chris Freeland
The Newman Numismatic Portal will create the world’s most comprehensive online encyclopedia of American and Colonial coinage, currency, realia, and related correspondence and published literature. Materials from the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society’s coin collections and supporting reference libraries will be digitized along with University collections and made available to an online community of scholars and enthusiasts. Digital content will be stored, curated and preserved by specialists in the Libraries, with corresponding curatorial activities on physical/analog materials. Outreach activities will raise awareness about the research portal and its contents.
This project explored how the creation of a new digital health sciences library ebook collection allowed for greater integration of ebooks into course content, expanded the conversation around information literacy, created connections between the library faculty and classroom faculty, extended the awareness of the library’s budget and boosted support for the library.

Meeting an Unmet Need: Extending the Learning Commons Concept Through On-Campus Partnerships and Branding
La Loria Konata, Georgia State University
Libraries have reinvented themselves to remain relevant in the 21st Century. Establishing a Learning Commons space is an example of libraries using a business model to remain relevant to its clientele – the students. The goal or end result sought for Learning Commons is to become integrated into the academic and cultural life of the Georgia State University undergraduate experience. To achieve this outcome, the Learning Commons department decided to embark on a new journey of collaboration and marketing. La Loria will detail methods used at Georgia State University Library to turn its Learning Commons space into a place. With programming, additional services such as writing support, and marketing, the Learning Commons is slowly becoming an example of library as place. She will describe examples of programming done with the marketing approach used and the outcome of each event; collaboration and partnership opportunities with various campus units such as the Office of New Student Programs and Orientations; and the focus on customer service via improving reference services.

Collaborative Partnership for Managing the Crucial Aspects of Libraries: Spac...Jay Bhatt
The crucial issues in present era in the science and technology library are, space and technology. The physical space in library is either reducing or it can be said that the requirement has been increasing in the recent time, and also the digital technology is rising phenomenally. Creative Integration of Space and Technology can enhance collaborative partnership among faculty, students and librarians to inspire active learning through the exploration of various resources and tools available from libraries. User awareness of such services is absolutely critical and this integration can help develop this awareness. To deal with this matter, the presentation tries to discuss in detail about different aspects of the above mentioned two important areas of library viz., Space and Technology. For reviewing it, the examples of advanced libraries of different countries have been included to showcase the measures being taken up by them to overcome the problems of the space and technology pertaining in the library. Through this presentation, an attempt has been made for enhancement of administration of the library management as well as for providing better user services.
Emerging technology trends in libraries for 2017David King
Technology has changed the face of libraries and is continuing to change how we work and how we deliver services to customers. This workshop introduces emerging technology trends and shows how those trends are reshaping library services. Examples are provided of how to incorporate these evolving trends into libraries. Attendees learn what trends to look for, find out the difference between a technology trend and a fad, and get ideas on how their library can respond to technology as it emerges.

Beyond Preservation: Situating Archaeological Data in Professional PracticeEric Kansa
I presented this lecture at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in Berlin on Nov. 6, 2014 (see: http://www.dainst.org/termin/-/event-display/ogNX4Gtxkd87/342513)
The lecture focuses on how archaeological data fits in professional practice. It looks at scholarly communications, government policies toward the sciences and humanities, and professional reward structures.
The lecture then shows examples of how Open Context publishes archeological data, including editorial processes to promote data quality and relate contributed data to the 'Web of Data' using Linked Open Data methods. Research applications of Open Context and linked archaeological data include the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA) project (see: http://ux.opencontext.org/blog/archaeology-site-data/) and a data integration study exploring the development and dispersal of animal husbandry economies in Epipaleolithic - Chalcolithic Anatolia (see: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0099845)
The lecture concludes with how archaeologists need to invest more intellectually in the method and theory of modeling and creating data. It also looks at how concepts and expectations of publishing static artifacts need to be revised (using techniques like version control) to enable continued and more transparent revision of data to fix problems, implement new standards, and meet new research goals.
DPF Manager is an open source modular TIFF conformance checker that is extremely easy to use, to integrate with existing and new projects, and to deploy in a multitude of different scenarios. It is designed to help archivists and digital content producers ensure that TIFF files are fit for long term preservation, and is able to automatically suggest improvements and correct preservation issues. The team developing it has decades of experience working with image formats and digital preservation, and has leveraged the support of 60+ memory institutions to draft a new ISO standard proposal (TIFF/A) specifically designed for long term preservation of still-images. An open source community will be created and grown through the project lifetime to ensure its continuous development and success. Additional commercial services will be offered to make DPF Manager self-sustainable and increase its adoption.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
