The collection numbers 15,000 song title manuscripts that are represented by approximately 115,000 instrument charts. Previously, access to this collection was through an alphabetically arranged title index. With the assistance of student research assistants and IT, we began a project creating a database using the Python Web application ATOM.

This session will discuss the best practices with virtual consultations for a semester-long assessment project for an Africana Studies course and how two archivists rebuilt the in-person research consultations for this process. We will also be reflecting on how we have built lesson plans for our students that are responsive to their lives and the social movements that they are active participants in and how the lesson can become one that connects with them more deeply to the historical contexts of the collections for their Africana Studies course.Item Open Access Power of New Voices(2022-06-22) Clarkson, Emma; Fernández, María Victoria; Greenwood, Amanda; Hack, Sara; LoBello, Louise; Raymond, Emily A.; Regal, SamLightning talks by students, recent graduates, new professionals, and/or past RBMS scholarship recipients including: Inclusion in Archival Description and Cataloging in New England, Emily Raymond Adventures in shellac: Cataloging historic sound recordings, Emma Clarkson Artists’ Books and Critical Literacy Pedagogy: Teaching Kara Walker’s Freedom: A Fable, Sam Regal How the Pandemic Challenged Graduate-level Hands-on Learning, Amanda Greenwood Overnight College Historian: Navigating Imposter Syndrome At-Home, Louise LoBello "We have THAT book?” Focusing on Cultural Literacy in Libraries through Special Collections and Displays - Sara Hack * Please push PLAY at session start time to make sure you get to the following discussion session on time :) * Make sure to add the Q&A and Discussion immediately following this session to continue the conversation (shown below on this screen). Session Type Lightning TalksItem Open Access Examination into Building Diverse Distinctive Collections: a Survey of ARL Institutions’ Acquisitions Practices and Perceptions(2022-06-22) Kim, Moon; Florence N, Mugambi; Diaz, Angel; Besser, Kelly; Reyes, BetsaidaSponsored by Bonhams : Fine Books and Manuscripts, featuring the Literature Collection of David Lloyd and a Private Collection of Fine Americana, and more. The knowledge production system from creation to dissemination and consumption has entrenched notions of whiteness as the default, and these systemic practices impact the ways in which organizations develop their collections of distinction. Foregrounding the voices of information professionals in acquisitions, collection development, and curation, the researchers will share the survey results of the Association of Research Libraries member institutions’ acquisitions infrastructure and how they influence or prohibit the building of diverse collections. The discussion will equip special collections information professionals with guiding principles and best practices that can be used to posit and inform new ways of centering marginalized voices through collections, and ways to incorporate the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into institutional acquisitions programs.Item Open Access Imagining a Shared Future for Archival Discovery: research findings and paths forward from the Building a National Archival Finding Aid Network project(2022-06-22) Carbajal, Itza; Langa, Lesley; Proffitt, Merrilee; Turner, AdrianBuilding a National Finding Aid Network (NAFAN) is a collaborative project rooted in the goal of providing inclusive, comprehensive, and persistent access to descriptions of archival collections by building the vision and roadmap for a national finding aid network available to a broad and diverse set of contributors and researchers. OCLC Research has conducted extensive research with archivists and archival users, in service of shaping the NAFAN vision. The project team will give an overview of NAFAN, share research findings, and discuss how these will inform the vision for a national archival discovery platform that is community-driven, -sustained, and -governed.Item Open Access Lightning Talks Group 1: Q&A and Discussion(2022-06-22) Grover, Emily; Cannell, Claire; Monheim, Allee; Theerman, Paul; Yadin, Hallel; Bramlett, Rebecca; Goyeau, Raphaëlle; Jones, Pamela; Silva, Judy; Vance, CaliFor those who attended the previous Lightning Talks Group 1, continue the conversation and questions for presenters in this optional post-event session.Item Open Access Getting Started with Digital Learning Objects(2022-06-22) Katz, Robin M.; Intrator, Miriam; Sentieri, Carly; Strandmark, Matthew; Wood, Tara SThis seminar will introduce attendees to digital learning objects, such as videos, online tutorials, and interactive modules.

Those new to digital object creation and/or people who feel lost or overwhelmed by the development process are especially encouraged to attend!Item Open Access Impermanently Yours: Contingent Employment and What We Can Do About It(2022-06-22) Bredbenner, Stephanie; Lehman, Monika; Oliviera, Rose; Sayles, Sheridan; Rinn, MeghanContingent employment has been very common in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums for many years. The New England Archivists Contingent Employment Study Task Force found that overreliance on this employment model can negatively impact workers, institutions, and the field at large. The Term Labor Best Practices Working Group created the Best Practices for Archival Term Positions, which advocate for more ethical, supportive term positions. Join both groups as they delve into their research, findings, and recommendations for designing ethical contingent positions, supporting contingent colleagues, and promoting the long-term sustainability and growth of our field. * Make sure to add the Post Panel Discussion 30 mins after the conclusion of this session to continue the conversation (shown right side on this screen).Item Open Access Hack your Reading Room: Integrating Special Collections Request and Circulation Workflows into the Alma Library Services Platform.(2022-06-23) Alves, Dalton; Richardson, Leah; Smith, Dolsy; King, JenniferOpportunities exist to adapt Ex Libris’ Alma functionality to the unique needs of special collections reading room management. This seminar details and demonstrates how we have incorporated our special collections request and circulation workflows into Alma's existing functionality, which has led to improved workflows, better inventory tracking, more consistent and transparent reading room operations, and richer data on collections use. If you are looking for a new way to manage patron requests and circulation and you don’t have the resources for additional software platforms–this seminar is for you. Although the practical takeaways are specific to Alma institutions, this session offers a framework for thinking about and planning the use of any ILS to support special collections’ circulation.Item Open Access Envisioning Future Conferences(2022-06-23) Smedberg, Heather; Cole, HeatherA moderated discussion with RBMS leadership.

We will grapple with what the survey uncovered about how administrative policies valorize the security of objects at the expense of users and staff; promote the use of carceral technologies like surveillance; and advocate police interventions for so-called ‘problem’ communities. Panelists will address how harmful policies arise and provide pathways to pursue alternative tools that better meet the needs of our communities and our workers whenever harm is caused.Item Open Access Your Professional Writing: Helpful Advice for Beginners and the Anxious(2022-06-23) Chen, Anna; Saunders, Richard; Cary, Amy; Dysert, Anna; Lawler, Martha; Kopp, MaggieA panel discussion with the current editor, former book-reviews editor, authors, and an editorial board member of RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage.

Engaging with the Ithaka S+R Teaching with Primary Sources Project “post”-pandemic(2022-06-23) Ferrara, Amanda; Franz, Anna; Ruediger, Dylan; Withers, Clare; Bravent, Jay-Marie; Porterfield, JulieRemember that report from Ithaka S+R last spring about supporting the needs of instructors using primary sources in their classes? Since the report was based on interviews conducted in 2019, this seminar seeks to bring the report forward into our “post” pandemic times. Which of the report’s conclusions and recommendations carry over directly into our new reality? Which need some translation? In short, as somewhat a product of the “before times,” does the Ithaka S+R report still play a role in how we carry out our instruction programs? Whether you participated in the project or the whole enterprise got lost in the fog of pandemic times, join your colleagues as we learn more about the project with its report and conclusions, and how we can bring that work into our current realities and local contexts.Item Open Access Without Warrant: Strategies for Remedying LOC’s Exclusion of Indigenous Communities in New York and Oregon(2022-06-23) Nyitray, Kristen J.; Reijerkerk, Dana; Farwell, Beth; Sapon-White, RichardThis seminar presents strategies for improving Library of Congress Authorities and Classification for works by and about Indigenous communities on the east and west U.S. coasts. The first presentation focuses on Long Island, New York, a case in point of the United States settler state landscape co-opting Indigenous peoples and places without attributing names and headings. The second presentation focuses on an Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) project to propose subject headings for tribes with traditional territories in Oregon. Participants will learn strategies to approach cataloging Indigenous groups and the nuances in this work.
