Presenters: Dr. Lissa Ramirez-Stapleton, Elizabeth Altman, and Steve Kutay, and Nicole Shibata from Northridge
Description: Led by Dr. Lissa Ramirez-Stapleton of CSUN’s Deaf Studies program, the Black Deaf Life in California project aims to preserve and expand access to stories and educational material about the Black Deaf experience. In 2021, the project received funding from a CSUN Diversity and Equity Innovation grant to conduct 15 oral (ASL) histories of Black Deaf CSUN alumni and Californians and design a complimentary digital exhibit and database hosted on the CSUN Library website. This panel will discuss techniques and reflect on lessons learned from the project team, with a particular focus on conducting and making ASL oral histories available through digital library platforms while maintaining accessibility standards, and working effectively with collaborators outside the library. The panel will include Dr. Lissa Ramirez-Stapleton (PI) ; and library collaborators, Nicole Shibata (Metadata Librarian), Elizabeth Altman (Web Services Coordinator), and Steve Kutay (Digital Services Librarian); and possibly a Deaf Studies student who worked on the project (depending on their availability).
Presentation 7: Measure Twice, Scan Once: Getting It Right the First Time with Still Image Digitization Standards
...
Description: Presenters from San Francisco State University and Cal Poly Pomona will share their perspectives on the benefits of creating collections in the ScholarWorks institutional repository, with a particular focus on increasing engagement with graduate student theses and dissertations. They will begin with a recap of the collections functionality available in DSpace as well as Digital Commons before sharing insights from interactions with members of their campus communities that resulted in requests for comparable features in the Samvera environment. This will lead into a demonstration of the automatic department facet in ScholarWorks and discussion of the shortcomings of that feature for the use cases identified. From there, the presenters will demonstrate how to create parent and child collections in ScholarWorks and discuss different options for organizing collections, such as by department or degree program in the case of theses and dissertations. They will also touch on usability and discoverability considerations as well as opportunities for further refining the metadata associated with the collections work form. Finally, the presentation will conclude with an overview of outreach opportunities once collections are in place, encompassing both direct outreach to specific departments and degree programs as well as more campus-wide communications intended to promote student work.
