10:05 AM 30 min | Terminology of the Incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II
| “Words can lie or clarify: Terminology of the World War II Incarceration of Japanese Americans” is a publication by Aiko Herzig Yoshinaga, who was a Japanese American activist, a former incarceree during World War II, and one of the advisory board members for the CSU Japanese American Digitization (CSUJAD) Project. She had opposed the use of the euphemistic words that distort and wrongly portray the Japanese Americans’ experiences during the war. The CSUJAD Project has addressed this issue since 2014 at the very beginning of the project. This presentation will provide the background information, overviewing the two-day symposium that was hosted by the Gerth Archives and Special Collections, CSU Dominguez Hills in June 2014 where the project’s members gathered, illustrating the offensive and problematic terms that have been of concern among the Japanese American community, and describing the challenges and approaches that the project has faced and taken. It will also cover the Library of Congress Subject Headings that had been established for the event of the mass removal and the revisions that have been made recently. | ||||
10:35 AM 30 min | Jumping the DAM fence from CONTENTdm to Quartex: gambling on a new digital repository
| In early 2023, SFSU migrated its digital content for Special Collections out of CONTENTdm into a new digital asset management platform, Quartex. A late 2022 migration sprint to get files and metadata transferred from CONTENTdm to Quartex was just the final phase of a long planning and migration process. After first being introduced to the platform in 2019, the Bay Area Television Archive, which is part of SFSU Special Collections, started working with Adam Matthew (now AM Digital) to upload their considerable digital content with the intent of creating audio transcripts to improve accessibility. Big picture planning and implementation fell into place in 2022 and SFSU has exciting plans to highlight some core areas of its holdings, like the 1968 San Francisco State Student Strike, on this new platform. This panel will provide an overview of our migration from the initial stages through the final loading and plans for the future.

11:05 AM 30 min | Lightning talk: Chico Metadata Style guide for ScholarWorks
| We would like to share our process of creating a metadata style guide for CSU, Chico submissions to ScholarWorks. We will explain our motivations and guiding principles, share what we learned along the way, provide a brief walkthrough of the guide, and discuss the advantages of using a “living document.” We hope this presentation will illustrate the helpfulness of a style guide in creating metadata for institutional repositories.

Lightning talk: “You can do what?” The Excel Tricks you Didn’t Know no one Knew
| Feel like you know the bare minimum in Excel? You probably know more than you think and have figured out a good trick for that one annoying task. For instance, you can auto size column width, copy drag data, and auto highlight duplicate information in Excel . . . If you know the right buttons. Come prepared to show off a few Excel tips and tricks you use that you thought everyone knew (chances are it will be new to some of us). From Jill: Formatting Numbers and Dates as Plain Text | |||||
Brainstorming: Community Building in the CSU
| Each of us brings different skills and expertise to the CSU. But how best to share our knowledge and build collaboration across this large state? We have done so much work over the last decade (plus!), but could be doing more to bridge the knowledge gap? Are our communication structures working? Are there ways to expand and grow while also building collegial connections? I’m hopeful that this lightning talk can be a collaborative brainstorming effort, so please bring an open heart and some ideas. Share your ideas in the Brainstorming document. | |||||
