There is also an academic Islandora consortia called the Islandora Consortia

Hi Bill,

Lyrasis does Islandora hosting I know, and possibly more. The UC system has a 
shared Digital Asset Management System as well as a shared finding aid 
publishing service, the latter serves all of California.

Hope that helps!

[CODE4LIB] Consortial services

[Ingram, William A]

Hi all, 

I am trying to get a sense of the extent to which non-OPAC systems are being 
run by consortia. We know that OPACs have sometimes moved to consortial 
management (e.g., CARLI, WRLC), but what what about publishing platforms (e.g., 
OJS), repository platforms (e.g., DSpace, Fedora), or other digital library 
systems (e.g., Omeka, Archon)? Does anyone have a sense of the degree to which 
these non-OPAC systems are being run by consortia?

The one I'm aware of is TDL, which I believe offers DSpace, Vireo ETD, and OJS 
(but not OPAC, surprisingly). Are there others?  

Thanks much, 
Bill

[CODE4LIB] Mindful Tech - a LITA webinar

[Ken Varnum]

*Mindful Tech: Establishing a Healthier and More Effective Relationship
with Our Digital Devices and Apps *



*Tuesdays, June 7 and 14, 2016, 1:00 – 2:30 pm Central TimeDavid Levy,
Information School, University of Washington
Register Now for this 2 part
webinar
*

“There is a long history of people worrying and complaining about new
technologies and also putting them up on a pedestal as the answer. When the
telegraph and telephone came along you had people arguing both sides—that’s
not new. And you had people worrying about the explosion of books after the
rise of the printing press.


What is different is for the last 100-plus years the industrialization of
Western society has been devoted to a more, faster, better philosophy that
has accelerated our entire economic system and squeezed out anything that
is not essential.


As a society, I think we’re beginning to recognize this imbalance, and
we’re in a position to ask questions like “How do we live a more balanced
life in the fast world? How do we achieve adequate forms of slow practice?”

David Levy – See more at:
http://tricycle.org/trikedaily/mindful-tech/#sthash.9iABezUN.dpuf


Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in this well known program by
David Levy, based on his recent widely reviewed and well regarded book
“Mindful Tech” . The
popular interactive program will include exercises and participation now
re-packaged into a 2 part webinar format. Both parts will be fully recorded
for participants to return to, or to work with varying schedules.

*Register Now for the 2 part Mindful Tech webinar series*


This two part, 90 minutes each, webinars series will introduce participants
to some of the central insights of the work Levy has been doing over the
past decade and more. By learning to pay attention to their immediate
experience (what’s going on in their minds and bodies) while
they’re online, people are able to see more clearly what’s working well for
them and what isn’t, and based on these observations to develop personal
guidelines that allow them to operate more effectively and healthfully.
Levy will demonstrate this work by giving participants exercises they can
do, both during the online program and between the sessions.

*Presenter*

*David M. Levy* is a professor at the Information School of the
University of Washington. For more than a decade, he has been exploring,
via research and teaching, how we can establish a more balanced
relationship with our digital devices and apps. He has given many lectures
and workshops on this topic, and in January 2016 published a book on the
subject, “Mindful Tech: How to Bring Balance to Our Digital Lives” (Yale)
. Levy is also the
author of “Scrolling Forward: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age”
(rev. ed. 2016)

IMO, linked data is especially useful with unique materials because
relationships are simultaneously more important and more difficult to trace.

Having said that, archival collections often have minimal access points. As
a practical matter, this means that the challenge has more to do with
building the knowledgebase and creating the access points than implementing
any particular standards/technology.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Anything Interesting Going on in Archival Metadata?

[Matt Carruthers]

That's a great question.  I think there are applications for linked data in
the archives realm, especially around the agents responsible for creating
archival collections.  The big project in this area is Social Networks and
Archival Context , and the
American Numismatic Society has been working on expressing their authorities
information as linked data , which
provides some pretty cool functionality.  Those are the two projects that
come to mind immediately, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows of
others.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Anything Interesting Going on in Archival Metadata?

[Ethan Gruber]

There's a fair amount of innovation taking place with respect to linked
data in archives, but I don't think it's as well advertised as what's been
taking place in libraries in North America. The highest profile project in
the archival realm is Social Networks and Archival Context (
http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/), which is focused mainly on
archival authorities, but there's a tremendous potential in being able to
aggregate archival content related to these authorities. Authorities and
archival content can and are being modelled into linked open data, but
there's no real standard for how to do this in the field. A group is
working on a conceptual reference model for archival collections, but the
modelling of people and their relationships is bold new territory. I've
done some work on this myself using a variety of existing ontologies and
software platforms to connect pieces from our archives, digital library,
authorities, and museum objects together into a cohesive framework (you can
read more at http://eaditor.blogspot.com/ and
http://numishare.blogspot.com/2016/03/updating-mantis-and-igch-incorporating.html
).

It is also possible to use CIDOC-CRM for the modelling of people and their
relationships and events (same for using the CRM to model archival
collections). CIDOC-CRM is rarely, if ever discussed in code4lib despite
its 'importance' in the cultural heritage sector (predominately in Europe).
I've had difficulty getting discussions for the modeling of authorities
into RDF off the ground with some grant applications that have fallen short.

[CODE4LIB] Anything Interesting Going on in Archival Metadata?

[Matt Sherman]

Hi all,

I was recently talking with some folks about some archives related
things and realized that while I've heard a lot recently about
different projects, advancements, and issues within library specific
metadata, and its associated concerns, I have not heard as much
recently about metadata in the archives realm.  Is there much going on
there?  Is linked data even useful in a setting with extremely unique
materials?  Is this a stupid question?  I don't know, but I am curious
to hear if there are any interesting things people are doing in
archival metadata or any challenges folks are working to overcome.
