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. Presenters will walk attendees through the basics of instructional design for DLOs, highlighting tools, platforms, and methods attendees might use—including a series of guiding questions to help attendees determine for themselves how best to take an object from concept to execution. The presenters will deconstruct successful example objects and discuss their experiences with the benefits and challenges of DLO creation. 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 Capitol Records: Constructing a Searchable Database for Large Manuscript Collections(2022-06-22) Edlund, Thomas; Fawcett, Davis; Parry, Grace; Skeem, Dainan; Swenson, SharolynIn the latter 1970's, Brigham Young University acquired a collection of popular song orchestrations created by Capitol Records for recording sessions during the 1940s and 1950s. 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 presentation will discuss steps taken and challenges to create a searchable database for the Capitol Records Orchestrations.Item Open Access Two Embedded Archivists Walk Into a Reading Room: How Two Archivists Navigated a Student Assignment from In-Person to Virtual(2022-06-22) Beem, Randi; Bennett, Adreonna; Nista, DanielleHave you wondered how other archivists navigated student projects being switched from in-person format to a virtual world and back again? 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 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 Using Student Researchers to Assess the Digital Collections User Experience(2022-06-24) Seppi, Greg; Memory, Lindsey; Wiederhold, Rebecca A.; Lampert, Cory; Jarvis, Jonathan A.; Bozue, Hannah; Meldrum, MadeleineFollowing the closure of the Harold B. Lee Library’s special collections during the pandemic, the presenters designed a study to assess the usability of our CONTENTdm system. The library collaborated with a sociology professor to have students from his qualitative research methods class administer the study, observing other undergraduates using the system to perform tasks, and interviewing them about their experiences. In this presentation, the librarians, the sociology professor, and two students will share lessons learned from this experience, including small disappointments and unexpected benefits. We’ll also share the study methodology and suggestions for optimizing this type of professional collaboration with students.Item Open Access Supporting LGBTQIA+ Communities Through the Pandemic and Beyond(2022-06-24) Marini, Francesca; Oldham, Krista; Hankins, RebeccaThis panel discusses how the Texas A&M University Cushing Memorial Library and Archives continues to focus on community engagement and social justice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenters will focus on engagement with LGBTQIA+ communities to preserve and showcase their histories, discussing a very successful collaborative exhibition (2021) and collection building and representation at the Cushing Library. This panel aims at raising awareness of the importance of documenting history through the eyes of those who lived it in first person. Attendees will be able to learn new strategies or compare their own actions and environments to those discussed in this panel.Item Open Access Now What? Adapting Digital Learning Objects for Audiences Near and Far(2022-06-24) Bowden, Kerry; Ullmann, Michaela; Weijer, Neil; Spitz, Blake; Vallen, LisaIn many ways, the uneven and uncertain return to in-person instruction has raised more complications than the initial phase of all-remote teaching. In this session, participants will discuss the ways they’ve transitioned content from crisis substitutes for in-person visits to enhancements for a wide range of classes, activities, and outreach. We offer tips for planning new or remixed robust digital learning content, and highlight opportunities for collaboration, presentation, and use beyond the online or hybrid classroom. Digital content can empower students and faculty to feel more comfortable in special collections, and to make more creative use of their time in-person.Item Open Access RBMS Attendees: Getting Going(2022-06-21) RBMSThis 3-minute video will show you how to join sessions and set up private meetings with other attendees if you like.

Participants will learn strategies to approach cataloging Indigenous groups and the nuances in this work.Item Open Access Lightning Talks: Group 2(2022-06-23) Potts, Claude; Howard, Kristen; Rew-Pinchem, Jazmin; Arias, Stephanie; Araujo, Jullyana; Matković, Danijela; Bergen, Katie; Skeen, Becky; Farry, ColleenAna Hatherly Micro-collection @ UC Berkeley - Claude Potts Sketching and Stitching in the Stacks: Driving Community Engagement with Creative Projects - Kristen Howard Bodies Colliding: Redesigning space and practice for a more welcoming reading room (A work in progress) - Jazmin Rew-Pinchem, Stephanie Arias What does it mean to be special?: Towards a broader definition of special collections in libraries in Brazil - Jullyana Araujo Kings and Queens in Spades: Cataloging Playing Cards during the Pandemic - Danijela Matković Go With Me: “The Rare Commons” and Digital Outreach Beyond the Pandemic - Katherine Bergen Recovering and Remembering Black History on Campus: An Institutional Call to Action - Colleen FarryItem Open Access Imagining Otherwise: Reflecting on what the Abolition in Special Collections Survey Data Can Teach Us About the Harms Enacted by Security Policies and Procedures(2022-06-23) Chomet, Allison; Johnston, Rita; Becker, Xena; Rizzo, Caitlin; Clemens, AlisonIn this session, presenters will share the findings of the recent Abolition in Special Collections survey and analyze what the results can reveal about the state of special collections practices. 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 Does it still fit? 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 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. Intended for those who have not yet published in their field or are just beginning their professional-writing career, the panel discusses the practicalities of formulating and submit an article or book proposal, discussing how to review a book, joining a review pool, structuring literature reviews, formulating and presenting a case study. The panel will begin with brief presentations and then respond to questions from the audience.Item Open Access Tool Time: tackling long standing metadata issues through new tools and workflows(2022-06-23) Sherwood, Jessie; Stevens, Gioia; Lyon, Meghan; Campos-Quinn, Michael; Owens, William M.It’s tool time! In this session, presenters will discuss tools that they developed to take on long-standing needs in special collections in novel (pun intended) ways, including a means for cataloging remotely, prioritizing processing projects, or comparing MARC fields in anticipation of a new ILS. Come learn how NYU’s Special Collections developed a digital surrogate cataloging workflow to facilitate remote cataloging; Duke’s Rubenstein Library migrated digitized catalog cards into the Internet Archive; and UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive’s developed an application to compare MARC metadata to facilitate migration to a new system-wide ILS.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.
