[CODE4LIB] fyi. LIS skill sets and digital humanities
fyi. An article published recently about the cross over in skill sets in the LIS and DH fields. Keeping the “L” in Digital: Applying LIS Core Competencies to Digital Humanities Work, The Journal of Creative Library Practice.http://creativelibrarypractice.org/2013/09/06/keeping-the-l-in-digital-applying-lis-core-competencies-to-digital-humanities-work/ Furthermore, Brett Bobley — Chief Information Officer of the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) and Director of the Office of the Digital Humanities (ODH) — has provided a broad but telling definition of the term: I use “digital humanities” as an umbrella term for a number of different activities that surround technology and humanities scholarship. Under the digital humanities rubric, I would include topics like open access to materials, intellectual property rights, tool development, digital libraries, data mining, born-digital preservation, multimedia publication, visualization, GIS, digital reconstruction, study of the impact of technology on numerous fields, technology for teaching and learning, sustainability models, media studies, and many others.” (2012, p. 61). Many librarians who read Bobley’s rubric may recognize that most of these activities accurately describe their own job descriptions, professional concerns, and activities. In addition to a brief discussion of ALA’s Core Competencies and the modern development of DH, this article will reveal how I have applied basic and advanced LIS skills to a scholarly Korean popular culture DH project. The article will conclude with outcomes and long-term implications for librarians who choose to identify and lend their skill sets to DH projects. -- -- Ingrid Mason Sydney, Australia
Re: [CODE4LIB] Introducing ExSite9: Open source tool: for metadata description (of content) + submission information package production
Hi Karen, Thanks for mentioning this. It does! We'll follow that up so we can encourage better data management and offer maybe two tools for people to consider using! The PARADISEC http://www.paradisec.org.au/ folk here in Australia are using the tool ongoing and out the field where the internet is a scarce resource (or non existent) and where they generate terabytes worth of content (images, A/V and sound files) that require back up to hard drive and personal delivery to the repository for upload (or Australia Post). We had botanists and archaeologists in the initial requirements gathering round too. After a while we could see all kinds of applications, the folks going into the desert or bush to collect sensor data, urban anthropologists, fine artists... really anyone plugging a peripheral device into their laptop to upload content to process. I imagined archivists copying content from hard drives but I hadn't gone further to think about data captured off analogue or digital degrading portable media) as a use case for rescue (Zone 1). Nice one! So I'm pretty sure there must be others that can set the tool up to their advantage. One of the features we tried hard to provide support (and flexibility) for was to allow schema creation and reuse (for data sharing in a team) so any researcher in any discipline could set up their own schema and define their own data values. Does mean an investment in set up, but pays off (hopefully) in that the processing is quicker.
