Item Chronicling Hoosier(2016-06-15) Palmer, Kristi L.; Polley, David E.; Pollock, Caitlin M.J.To use this archived version of a live website, download the zipped folder, unzip the folder, and then open the file named "index.html" This digital project was designed to work optimally in Google Chrome.Item Chronicling Hoosier: Tracing Home in Historic Newspapers(2016-11-12) Palmer, Kristi L.; Polley, David E.; Pollock, Caitlin M.J.As part of the Indianapolis Spirit and Place Festival 2016, Chronicling Hoosier will provide avid “Hoosier” hunters, burgeoning genealogists, and the just plain curious equal delight in discovering the power of digital historic newspapers. Big data from historic sources transforms into compelling visualizations that provide new insights into our State’s long-fascination with the origin of the word Hoosier. Focusing on newspapers dating back to 1836, tactics will be taught that every Hoosier can use to search free, digital newspapers from the comfort of their own homes, embarking on their own discoveries of self, family, and community.Item A Gallery for the Outlaw: Archiving the Art of the Iconoclast(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2013., 2013-04) Pollock, Caitlin M.J.; Battleground, Andrea L.Item Journal flipping: A case study from Metropolitan Universities(2016-04-08) Polley, David E.; Odell, Jere D.; Pollock, Caitlin M.J.; Proctor, AnnaRecent events in scholarly publishing, such as the editorial board of Elsevier’s Lingua resigning en masse, shed light on the dilemma faced by many journal editors: balancing a desire to increase impact with promoting open and sustainable models for publishing. These two goals are not mutually exclusive. Recently, editors and publishers are seeing success in reconciling these goals by converting subscription-based journals to open-access, through a process commonly called journal flipping. The IUPUI University Library has a history of supporting the publication of open-access scholarly journals through its Open Access Journals at IUPUI program (http://journals.iupui.edu/). A number of titles, most notably Advances in Social Work and Metropolitan Universities, began as subscription-based journals that were only available in print. This poster presents the process for "flipping" Metropolitan Universities, digitizing the full run of issues and making them openly available via IUPUI’s instance of Open Journal Systems.Item Metropolitan Universities: Building an Online, Open Access Archive(2015-10-11) Odell, Jere D.; Polley, David E.; Pollock, Caitlin M.J.; Proctor, Anna; Sullivan, MichaylaMetropolitan Universities (MUJ) provides peer-reviewed publishing on topics in higher education, including distributed learning, K-16 collaborations, assessment, service learning, campus-community partnerships and other subjects. In 2015 MUJ published its 25th volume. Beginning in the year 2000 (volume 11), MUJ has been published as a print journal with editorial offices at IUPUI. To celebrate more than of 25 years of successful publishing and to introduce new modes of dissemination, MUJ has developed an open access, online archive of its entire publication run. Here we describe the process of digitizing, indexing and building the MUJ archive.Item Open Peer Review for Digital Humanities Projects: A Modest Proposal(2016-04-20) Odell, Jere D.; Pollock, Caitlin M.J.Promotion and tenure (P&T) values do not always align with to the practice of digital humanities in academic settings. In short, it’s just easier to measure the value of a publication in a well-known journal or a book-length monograph from a trusted university press. Articles are cited and monographs are reviewed, but digital humanities projects are a less-known product--they come in so many flavors and are disseminated by disparate channels. As a result, many digital humanists may be pressured (after investing many hours of labor in a project) to seek validation for their digital projects by writing one or more articles describing the work for traditional peer reviewed outlets. This discourages further work on the digital project, creating a culture in which the project need only be good enough to describe in an article. It also punishes the digital humanist by doubling up on their efforts to meet the bar of P&T. Without new incentive structures that digital humanists can leverage in the P&T process, the adoption of digital humanities practices will lag and the field’s experimental and boundary-testing nature will be diminished. This is a proposal for developing an incentive structure for digital humanities scholarly production.Item Strange Fruit: The Ida B. Wells Project(2016-04-08) Pollock, Caitlin M.J.Ida B. Wells was a Black 19th century investigative reporter who launched an anti-lynching campaign, culminating in three pamphlets, Southern Horrors, A Red Record, and Mob Rule in New Orleans, revealing and demonstrating the injustice and violence of lynching culture. “The Ida B. Wells Project” seeks to transform Wells’s investigations into a digital humanities project with easy-to-navigate website with interactive components. The goal of this project is to highlight the barrier-breaking and courageous journalistic activism of Ida B. Wells by providing a tool to be used by students, researchers and teachers to shed light on this period of domestic terrorism in United States history. The project does not seek to merely digitize her works or provide a portal to her works but rather to interpret and represent her research in a 21st century format with the digitized facsimiles of her three pamphlets providing further context. “The Ida B. Wells Project” will have to overcome several challenges. One is the accessibility and availability of the three pamphlets. The other major challenge is the geocoding of places associated with lynchings described in Wells’s work. The project has already made progress by text-encoding A Red Record, geocoding and mapping the lynchings in The Red Record, and gaining access to these two pamphlets, with a travel and research materials grant funded by the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute to view a first edition copy of Southern Horrors held by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. This poster will illustrate the challenges the project faces, the work that has already been completed, and what are the next steps for the project.Item "When I Enter": Black Women and Disruption of the White, Heteronormative Narrative of Librarianship(Library Juice Press, 2018) Pollock, Caitlin M.J.; Haley, Shelley P.
