    3D Scanning for Small Budgets: How Local Libraries and Museums Will Play a Role in Creating a 3D Digital Library
    (2015-12-15) Johnson, Jennifer; Schaumberg, JD
    Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) University Library has been digitizing and providing access to community and cultural heritage collections since 2006. Varying formats include: audio, video, photographs, slides, negatives, and text (bound, loose). The library provides access to these collections using CONTENTdm. As 3D technologies become increasingly popular in libraries and museums, IUPUI University Library is exploring the workflows and processes as they relate to 3D artifacts. The library is collaborating with Online Resources Inc., a company that specializes in 3D technology to digitize artifacts from the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site. Online Resources has seen the high prices and complexity of systems hinder entrance into 3D data collection. They have made great strides in cost reduction for small budgets, and clarifying the best scanning system for the job. This presentation will demonstrate Creaform’s Go!Scan 3D while discussing collection digitization for small museums. Presenters will share insight on: key terms and features, how to filter to the correct 3D scanner, and how to reduce the cost of 3D scanning. This session will include discussion of how this technology may be implemented at the local level.

    Bridging the Gap in Digital Library Continuing Education: How Librarians Who Were Not "Born Digital" Are Keeping Up.
    (2008) Applegate, Rachel; Long, Chris Evin
    Studies on the continuing education pursuits of librarians are prevalent in library literature, but none has focused on the efforts made by librarians trained in the pre-Internet era to keep abreast of the skills needed in the digital library age. This study collected data from randomly solicited members of the Indiana Library Federation, a statewide library association including librarians from all types of libraries. Qualified respondents were those who received their M.L.S./M.L.I.S. prior to 1996. Participants were asked about the digital library-related topics they had studied in the past two years, the continuing education methods they had used, and how helpful they had found the activities in which they had engaged. Analysis of the responses reveal that a large majority of the librarians in this study see training in digital library skills as important and they seem to be making the acquisition of these skills a priority.

    Building Social Digital Libraries
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2003) Börner, Katy
    The accelerating rate of scientific and technical discovery, typified by the ever-shortening time period for the doubling of information – currently estimated at 18 months – causes new topics to emerge at an increasing rate. Large amounts of human knowledge are available online – not only in the form of texts and images, but also as audio files, movies, software demos, etc.

    Clinical Data Management: Strategies for unregulated data
    (2013-04-04) Coates, Heather L.
    Unlike data curation, clinical data management (CDM) is a recognized area of expertise and a defined career path. The highly regulated clinical trials environment has produced effective and efficient practices that can be generalized to other areas of research. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international standard developed by the International Conference on Harmonisation that specifies how clinical trials should be conducted and defines the roles and responsibilities of various sponsors, investigators, and monitors. These practices address many of the issues at the core of data curation and sharing. Much academic research is not rigidly structured in the manner of clinical trials. Relevant practices within CDM and GCP must be reinterpreted for non-clinical research so that they can inform general data management, sharing, and preservation practice. This lightning talk will highlight effective strategies from CDM and GCP that promote data integrity, facilitate data preservation and sharing, and facilitate reproducibility of results.

    Collaborative Repurposing of Existing Technology to Enhance Student-Directed Research
    (2012-11-08) Palmer, Kristi L.; Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-
    An educational team comprising instructor, subject librarian, and digital librarian collaborated to repurpose a digital collection content management system as a tool that solved a multitiered data-collection and analysis problem, enhanced student understanding of ethnographic data collection and description, and provided a means for openly distributing the final product of a community-rooted research project.

    Creating Digital Cultural Heritage Collections in an Urban Academic Library Setting
    (Urban Library Journal, 2015) Johnson, Jennifer
    As libraries develop digital cultural heritage collections the relationship with the organizations that own the collection are vital to the success of the process. This is ground that libraries have typically not operated. Organizations external to libraries that own collections have many needs beyond the simple digitization process. IUPUI University Library is an urban academic library that has worked on developing relationships with external organizations for almost ten years. During this time there have been many hurdles and lessons learned. This paper highlights some of the trends in relationship building with community organizations and offers two unique case studies that demonstrate the challenges libraries are likely to face. Other academic, research, and public libraries can benefit from developing relationships similar to those described and enhance the creation of cultural heritage collections.

    CTSA 2 Community: www.ctsa2community.org
    (2011-08-31) Ackermann, Ronald; Hardwick, Emily; Comer, Karen; Hudson, Brenda; Odell, Jere D.; Arenson, Andrew; Barnett, Bill; McGuire, Patrick; Derr, Michelle; Reid, Tisha; Vandergraff, Donna; Marrero, David G.
    This poster describes the development an accessible, user-driven, and sustainable web resource for community and academic experts working together to identify, adopt, and implement a wide array of community engaged research infrastructures for enhancing community engagement in all forms of clinical and translational research. CTSA2Community aims to be a storage place for valuable resources referring to the set-up and running of a community engagement program. Resources are provided by experts in the field of community engagement.
