[CODE4LIB] Job: Digital Public Humanities Fellowship (Post-Doc) at Brown University

[jobs]

Digital Public Humanities Fellowship (Post-Doc)
Brown University
Providence

The John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage and
the

Department of American Studies, Brown University, seek a postdoctoral fellow
in the Digital

Public Humanities. Digital humanities often results in projects open to the
public, and public

humanities work increasingly takes advantage of digital tools to reach and
interact with broad

audiences. We seek a postdoctoral fellow to help explore the connections
between the two

fields.

  
The candidate should have experience in publicly-engaged humanities work (in a
gallery,

library, archive or museum; community arts organization; school; social
justice project, for a

few examples) and demonstrated digital skills relevant to humanities research,
teaching,

community engagement, and/or publishing. S/he should be both a practitioner
and a

thoughtful critic and theoretician with an active research agenda and a public
practice. We

seek a generalist who might specialize in any of a range of digital humanities
methods or

technical practices, but be able to teach and consult across the whole range
of the digital

humanities.

  
The fellow will teach in the Master's of Public Humanities program; help
connect the American

Studies Department and the Center for Public Humanities with digital
humanities on campus

and nationally; and provide consultations for faculty, students, and community
partners on

research and public projects. We expect that such activities will constitute
half of the fellow's

time, with half available for their own research and projects.

  
Brown's American Studies department maintains flourishing programs at the
undergraduate,

MA, and PhD levels; has a faculty involved in national and international
digital projects; and

has taught digital courses for several years. The Center for Public Humanities
has built a

strong reputation for programs that connect university humanities expertise
with broader

audiences, community-based arts and humanities, and in training students for
work in a broad

range of cultural organizations. The public humanities program has been moving
aggressively

to incorporate digital work into its courses and projects. This postdoctoral
fellowship is a fulltime

salaried appointment ($50,000) with excellent benefits and research/project
support funds

each year. It is open only to recent Ph.D. recipients; the fellow must have
completed all

requirements for the Ph.D. by September 2015 and no earlier than June 2011.
The

appointment will be for two years.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

[Louisa Kwasigroch]

Thanks Mark for bringing this to my attention. Brad, I¹m sorry you are
dealing with this.

I reviewed the order form DLF created via RegOnline for Code4Lib 2013.
There is not a place where a subscription/membership was offered or a
place to opt out within the form itself. The DLF used RegOnline for
several other events besides Code4Lib, including DLF Forums, and I¹m not
aware of reports of unwanted credit card charges. If anyone else notices
something like this, please let me know.

We did switch from RegOnline to Eventbrite in 2013, but that was because
we liked Eventbrite more. Since I came on in 2013 and didn¹t use
RegOnline, I¹ve reached out to a former colleague to see if she recalls
any issues.

I think Mark is on to something. Was this one of the years CODE4LIB used
DLF for registration? I recall DLF having a similar issue due to the
company they contracted with for registration a few years back - at least
one DLF registrant got caught out by it. As I recall, DLF changed
registration vendors after that. Louisa should be able to confirm and as
Mark says, provide moire information.

[jobs]

Digital Archivist
University of California, Los Angeles
Los Angeles

One of ten University of California campuses, the University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA) is located in Westwood Village, approximately five miles
from the Pacific Ocean near Santa Monica. Comprised of the College of Letters
and Science and 11 professional schools, the 419-acre campus features 163
buildings. UCLA has more than 4,000 faculty and academic staff and
approximately 26,000 employees overall. Founded in 1919, UCLA offers 337
undergraduate and graduate degree programs and has more than 28,000
undergraduates and 12,000 graduate students. Academic excellence, faculty
distinction, and a comprehensive curriculum are hallmarks of UCLA, which is a
member of the Association of American Universities. Among the faculty are
fourteen Nobel Laureates, twelve Rhodes Scholars, ten National Medal of
Science winners, a Fields Medal Winner, eleven MacArthur Grant winners, and
seventy-eight Guggenheim Fellows. UCLA is California's largest university and
is a model for public institutions of higher education. As the seventh largest
employer in the region, UCLA generates almost $14 in economic activity for
every $1 state taxpayers invest in UCLA and generates an annual $11.9 billion
economic impact for the state of California.

  
Consistently ranked among the top 10 academic research libraries in North
America, the UCLA Library is comprised of 10 major libraries and 11 library
wide departments including the Southern Regional Library Facility, the remote
storage facility for the southern UC campuses, all of which report to the
University Librarian. In addition, there are 12 affiliated library units
located on the campus. There are approximately 105 librarians on the campus,
and the UCLA Library has a staff of approximately 300, and approximately 400 -
500 student employees. The Library has an organizational structure that
includes the use of teams in conjunction with departments and units. The
library collection consists of more than 9 million volumes and more than
78,000 current serial titles and an aggressively expanding electronic
resources collection. The Library's annual budget is in excess of $44 million;
more than $10 million supports the acquisition of print and digital material,
and the library is part of the California Digital Library. The UCLA Library is
a member of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Coalition for
Networked Information (CNI), the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), the
Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), International Federation
of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), and the Scholarly Publishing
 Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC).

within the UCLA Library System that integrates special collections resources,
services, and operations. Central to this re-organized unit is a curatorial
team of four subject experts (Performing Arts, University Archives, History of
Science and Medicine, Collecting Los Angeles), three format specific curators
(Rare Books, Visual Materials, Manuscripts), and the Head of the Center for
Oral History Research. LSC also includes three administrative sections:
Collection Management, Research and Instructional Services, and Administrative
Services. The Collection Management Section centralizes the acquisitions, rare
book cataloging, and processing of special collections materials; coordinates
lending processes; and facilitates collaboration with the Cataloging and
Metadata Department and the Preservation Program. The Research and
Instructional Services Section integrates public services for LSC, including
centralized reference and instructional services, and exhibitions and
programs. The Administrative Services Section consolidates the planning,
budget, human resources, fundraising, assessment, technology, and events
functions of LSC. The entire staff of approximately 40 FTE work together as a
team to build, preserve, and provide access to the outstanding special
collections of the UCLA Library.

  
The Collection Management Section includes the Digital Initiatives group,

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

[Brad Busenius]

Yes, they are mainly for marathons and such, however, apparently they do 
some other things too. The registration was done with the RegOnline 
software which is owned by Lanyon Solutions Inc. Both of these entities 
share the same address with Active. I found this press release from Acitve:


http://www.activenetwork.com/news-and-events/active-press-releases/2014/active-network-business-solutions-group-joins-forces-with-lanyon-forming-a-leading-global-meetings-events-and-hospitality-technology-company

Active, might be okay for people who seek out their subscription and 
actually use their discounts or whatever it is they're offering. I don't 
know about that. The issue I'm trying to shed light on is their 
unscrupulous signup process and their [unintended?] association with 
code4lib. It was not appropriate that I could signup for a paid annual 
subscription for their services while registering for an academic 
conference. That should not have even been a possibility.


The majority of people probably avoided this during registration, as 
they should have since we all need to be careful when paying for 
anything online nowadays, however, it's always possible that somebody 
might miss something like this. In my case, I was distracted, busy, and 
inundated with emails while registering. Perhaps I made a mistake but it 
shouldn't have been an option in the first place.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Journal - Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting)

[Sara Amato]

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information 
among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the 
future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 29th issue. Don't miss 
out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.  To be included in 
the 29th issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid July, 2015, please 
submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at  
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to jour...@code4lib.org  by 
Friday, April 10, 2015.  When submitting, please include the title or subject 
of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions 
across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal.  
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they 
were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers 
to publication.  While articles should be of a high quality, they need not 
follow any formal structure.  Writers should aim for the middle ground between 
blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals.  Where appropriate, 
we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code.  For 
more information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from 
previous issues on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.

abstracts, or draft articles to jour...@code4lib.org no later than Friday, 
April 10, 2015.

Send in a submission.  Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

[Brad Busenius]

They are separate charges. WithdrawalACT*Council is probably the charge 
for the conference. I probably have that one too. The Active charge came 
later as an annual subscription. They used the conference registration 
as a way to trick people into opting in to their unrelated service. I 
assume most people noticed this and opted out. I did not notice and 
therefore did not opt out. That's what I think happened, anyhow. I am 
looking for confirmation on this. I've had to piece things together.

Hi Brad,

If there was an option for an annual subscription for ACTIVE as part of the
registration process, I'm wondering why this wasn't brought up during the
registration period. What you are describing would have been suspicious to
anyone signing up for the conference.

If I remember correctly, DLF was the one who handled the fiances for 2013,
so if someone from DLF is on the list, can they doublecheck to see if there
was anything like Brad described below?

desiring you to exercise Patience, and bear with our Humours now and 
then, because we shall trouble them but seldom. We are not insensible of

Hi everybody,
  
   I hope this is the right place to inquire about this. I have some

 Hi Brad,

 If there was an option for an annual subscription for ACTIVE as part of the

 registration period. What you are describing would have been suspicious to
 anyone signing up for the conference.

 If I remember correctly, DLF was the one who handled the fiances for 2013,
 so if someone from DLF is on the list, can they doublecheck to see if there
 was anything like Brad described below?

Hi John,

Good question - we're taking in XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, and on a bad day PDF
of varying file sizes, each requiring different transformation and audit
strategies, on both regular and irregular schedules. New batches often
feature schema changes requiring modification to ingest procedures, which
we're trying to automate as much as possible but obviously require a human
chaperone.

Mediawiki is our default choice at the moment, but then I would still be
looking for a good workflow management model for the structure of the wiki,
especially since in my experience wikis are often a graveyard for the best
intentions.



A few places that you might try asking this question again, to see if you 
can find a solution that better answers your question:



The American Society for Information Science  Technology's Research Data 
Access  Preservation group.  It has a lot of librarians  archivists in 
it, as well as people from various research disiplines:


http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/rdap
http://www.asis.org/rdap/

...

The Research Data Alliance has a number of groups that might be relevant. 
Here are a few that I suspect are the best fit:


Libraries for Research Data IG
https://rd-alliance.org/groups/libraries-research-data.html

Reproducibility IG
https://rd-alliance.org/groups/reproducibility-ig.html

Research Data Provenance IG
https://rd-alliance.org/groups/research-data-provenance.html

Data Citation WG
(as this fits into their 'dynamic data' problem)
https://rd-alliance.org/groups/data-citation-wg.html

('IG' is 'Interest Group', which are long-lived.  'WG' is 'Working Group' 
which are formed to solve a specific problem and then disband)


The group 'Publishing Data Workflows' might seem to be appropriate but 
it's actually 'Workflows for Publishing Data' not 'Publishing of Data 
Workflows' (which falls under 'Data Provenance' and 'Data Citation')


There was a presentation at the meeting earlier this week by Andreas 
Rauber in the Data Citation group on workflows using git or SQL databases 
to be able to track appending or modification for CSV and similar ASCII 
files.


...

Also, I would consider this to be on-topic for Stack Exchange's Open 
Data site  (and I'm one of the moderators for the site):

Dave,

How are you getting the metadata streams? Are they actual stream objects,
or files, or database dumps, etc?

As for the tools, I have used a number of the ones you listed below. I
personally prefer JIRA (and it is free for non-profit). If you are ok if
editing in wiki syntax I would recommend mediaWiki (it is what powers
Wikipedia). You could also take a look at continuous deployment
technologies like Virtual Machines (virtualbox), linux containers (docker),
and rapid deployment tools (ansible, salt). Of course if you are doing lots
of code changes you will want to test all of this continually (Jenkins).

Hi all,

One of my projects involves harvesting, cleaning and transforming steady
streams of metadata from numerous publishers. It's an infinite loop but
every cycle can be a little bit or significantly different. Many issue
tracking tools are designed for a linear progression that ends in
deployment, not a circular workflow, and I've not hit upon a tool or use
strategy that really fits.

The best illustration I've found so far of the type of workflow I'm
talking about is the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model 
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/sites/default/files/documents/publications/DCCLifecycle.pdf



.

Here are some things I've tried or thought about trying:

   - Git comments
   - Github Issues
   - MySQL comments
   - Bash script logs
   - JIRA
   - Trac
   - Trello
   - Wiki
   - Unfuddle
   - Redmine
   - Zendesk
   - Request Tracker
   - Basecamp
   - Asana

Thoughts?

[Bornheimer, Bee]

This has happened to me as well, but it was from registering for an athletic 
event (I don't even remember what it was any more) not for anything code4lib 
related. They are indeed a sketchy company.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib registration repercussions?

[Jenn Riley]

I think Mark is on to something. Was this one of the years CODE4LIB used
DLF for registration? I recall DLF having a similar issue due to the
company they contracted with for registration a few years back - at least
one DLF registrant got caught out by it. As I recall, DLF changed
registration vendors after that. Louisa should be able to confirm and as
Mark says, provide moire information.
