This document discusses open data and three data sets available from public archives and humanities research. It addresses general problems with retrieving data from sources like Twitter and highlights the roles of archives and archivists through images. The document concludes by summarizing its main points.
This document discusses exposing humanities research data as linked open data to make it more accessible and connectable. It describes the benefits of following linked data principles by putting data online in a standard format, making it addressable through URIs, and linking it to other data. As an example, it outlines how the Reading Experience Database was connected to the web of data, allowing relationships to be represented between experiences, people, documents, and other metadata. Overall, the document argues that representing research as linked data provides opportunities for reuse, linking to other resources, and deriving new insights from the connections between data.
e-Books in academia: Surveying the current landscapeFrank Cervone
E-books have become an important part of academic library collections and services. Nearly all academic libraries now offer e-books, with holdings growing significantly from 2002 to 2010. However, e-books are primarily used for quick fact extraction rather than long-form reading, and large portions of e-book collections go unused. Academic libraries face challenges with e-books including confusing business models, licensing restrictions, and concerns about perpetual access and archiving. Nonetheless, with the rise of mobile devices, e-books are expected to eventually replace printed books as the main format in academic libraries.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Dr Andrew Makar, Tactical Project Management
I'm going to start this talk with some narrow issues—ones specifically related to research using data from Twitter, the social networking and microblogging site—and expand from them to discuss more general concerns that affect how humanities researchers approach digital resources as a part of our research practices.\n
Humanities researchers are generally used to discussing data that is publicly available to other researchers, either in published works or archives. That’s one of the reasons why Twitter seems like a fantastic resource for researchers. \n
From the outside, Twitter seems like a researcher's dream: millions of posts by actual users that reflected their observations in real time, with piles of interesting metadata, like location of posts, links to outside resources that readers are referring to, and the usernames of individuals that they are conversing with. However, analyzing this data presented some significant problems. \n
My last major research project focused on how the use of Twitter provided a new model for thinking about the classical rhetorical concerns of memory and delivery. My study focused on three data sets: the tweets of a Congressman during a mini crisis (of his own making), the tweets sent by attendees of a technology conference panel, and all the tweets referencing the 2009 health care debate over a three day period. \n
Despite the sense that Twitter is open in the ways I have discussed, the most pressing problem I faced early on was the difficulty in actually retrieving data from the site. I retrieved the data for these case studies from two sources: Twitter's search engine (search.twitter.com), and the Twitter API (the API is a way that application makers provide access to their data for third parties), both directly and through a third party Twitter archiving application built on the API. \n
Each of these methods provided their own challenges. In the case of Twitter search, I soon discovered that the site only preserves at most 3 months worth of tweets, give or take, for searching. For the first case study, I decided on this case study within that window, making it possible to use the search engine to find all of the tweets sent my the subject of the study as well as all of the tweets referencing him. \n\nHowever, by the time I began to evaluate this data, the original tweets were no longer accessible via search. This led to a situation where the tweets of one prominent commentator who tried to interact with the subject of my study, but had misspelled that subject's user name, were not included in my data set, and it was impossible for me to retrieve them.\n
The Twitter API, which was the source of the data in the latter cases, proved to be a superior means of accessing this data, but it presented its own challenges. Twitter manages access to its data through the API, allowing some developers limited access, while giving others complete access to all tweets (what is called the "fire hose"). In the past year, Twitter changed the terms of service disallowing many uses of the API that have been used by researchers to collect Twitter data. \n
While some researchers have been given access by Twitter to archives, this is certainly not a solution for everyone. Without access to the fire hose, researchers can't be sure that they are receiving all of the messages related to their topic—username, hashtag—or how much they are missing. Services like TwapperKeeper, which allowed users to create searches on the site that would then be archived by TwapperKeeper for future access, have had their access limited, thus eliminating their usefulness as archives of Twitter data.\n
While Twitter data is public, it’s data isn’t very accessible to researchers, and this forces them to create their own archives of Twitter information. For the reasons explained above, it can be nearly impossible for other researchers to recreate data sets, and not all researchers have equal access to Twitter’s output.\n
So, if we zoom out from these issues with Twitter, what do they tell us about the problems associated with digital research in general?\n
How our society deals with information has changed in some fundamental ways. With much of the data that exists online, the problem is not that the data is unavailable, but rather that it is unavailable to individuals who aren’t part of that infrastructure, and the cultural institutions that have traditionally guaranteed availability of information—public and private libraries, collections, and archives—have been slow to update their resources or simply unable to do so.\n
As social media and other digital repositories increasingly replace the kinds of self-reporting that we are familiar with—diaries, personal correspondence, financial and medical records—with digital facsimiles, or, occasionally, something entirely new, like TV diaries or foursquare. Yet it is crucial that with these technologies, the primary data is not held by the collector—that is, the person who is recording their check ins, or noting their media-viewing behavior—but rather by a for-profit corporation or third party that can 1) do whatever it wants with it (depending on the details of EULAs), 2) disappear completely taking the data with it.\n
For example, what service provides libraries with subscriptions to social media data the way that Lexis-Nexis provides news data? And, while the LOC has acquired the Twitter archive, it isn't yet clear how that archive will be updated as Twitter continues to grow or accessed by the public.\n
We are quickly approaching the day when an author or other person of interest will sell or donate their personal effects to a library or archive, and, instead of arranging for the delivery of boxes of papers and other physical artifacts will simply surrender her or his Google log-in information, and with it a personal search history, collection of documents, a record of reading and viewing habits, email messages, medical data, and so on.\n
The situation is somewhat more fraught when one considers third party applications that piggy-back on the data of larger companions, as is the case with social media services like Twitter. You may note that a theme running through the examples of access with Twitter is that the major access points are all run through Twitter. Twitter controls search and its API. Twitter has a right to its data, but it's our data, too. And when for-profit companies hold our archives—our memories—that presents problems of a cultural and historical nature. When our scholarship is dependent on these same companies, it becomes necessary for us to rethink how we not only cite material, but how we make that material available for other researchers. That is, we must think about becoming an archive unto ourselves.\n
Humanities researchers may want to look at how researchers in the sciences conceive of data and make it public. In doing so, we can not only learn from their practices—such as collecting and maintaining our own data—but also build on them, but making that data open and not proprietary. The NEH has encouraged the examination of data and creation of archives, and libraries and other archives are beginning to catch up with digital archives. I don’t have a lot of answers as to how we can manage this moment, other than to suggest that it should be open.\n
