Piloting a “Research and Development” Undergraduate Makerspace Internship

Rachel Starry, Aaron Graham

University of Pittsburgh, United States of America

Brief Abstract

“Research and Development in the Open Lab” is a new undergraduate internship at the University of Pittsburgh, where interns explore the intersection of makerspace technologies and digital research methods (e.g. data management for 3D models, AR for network visualization). Presenters highlight the structure and outcomes of this collaborative internship pilot.



Sprint or Marathon? Navigating Vendor-based vs. Open Source Systems

Sudha Anand

Indiana University, United States of America

Brief Abstract

Interested in learning about the difference in infrastructure and workflows between using a vendor based system vs an open source setup? As someone who went from working in a vendor based system environment to an institution that not just adopts but champions open source systems, here are some anecdotal insights.



The Future Is Here but it Sounds Like AM Radio and Feels Like Morning Sickness

Scout Calvert

Brief Abstract

This presentation will make a strong argument for sound quality as an accessibility issue in GLAM organizations, then show easy and affordable steps to fix and stay on top of sound quality so that everyone who uses these technologies can have their voice be heard without unintended harmful side effects.



Unlocking Knowledge: Academic Libraries' Contributions to Open Science Initiatives in the US

Kristen Scotti, Chenyue Jiao, Melanie Gainey, Emily Bongiovanni, Emma Slayton

Carnegie Mellon University, United States of America

Brief Abstract

As facilitators and champions of open practices, academic libraries are key players in the Open Science movement. Analyzing over 3,000 papers, we chart the contributions of US academic libraries to open initiatives. By examining US-specific challenges and opportunities, we identify best practices and areas of opportunity.



Visually Mapping Our Unruly Digital Librarianship Terms

Lindsey Memory

BYU Library, United States of America

Brief Abstract

I'll present several linguistics analyses (ngrams, hyponamy trees, a simple corpora) that visually render the unruly semantic relatedness of digital library terminology. This will show the differences and overlap between terms and their use over time. I conclude with how I think we as a subfield should coalesce our terms.



Webjam: A Web Archiving Jamboree

Corinne Chatnik1, Amanda Greenwood2

1Union College, United States of America; 2University of Virginia, United States of America

Brief Abstract

Keeping up with web archiving maintenance can be challenging, so we created Webjam, a virtual co-working space, where we meet quarterly to run crawls and problem-solve. Our talk will introduce this space, share how it has benefitted us, and invite others to join.



What is Worth Doing Over Time?: Using Digital Collection Development Policy to Support DEAI

Jessica Breiman

Brief Abstract

Planning for Public Access

Perry Collins1, Ashley Sands2

1National Endowment for the Humanities; 2Institute of Museum and Library Services
