Zack Lischer-Katz, Tara Carlisle
University of Oklahoma Libraries, United States of America

Library Support of Digital Scholarship at Two-Year Institutions
Sarah Kirkley

Teaching is often the focus at two-year institutions and presents a key opportunity for librarians to support digital pedagogy and digital literacy initiatives that have the potential to impact students in the classroom and beyond.
 
 
Community Meet Capacity: Growing Digital Scholarship Center
Rikk Mulligan, Jessica Otis, Lisa Zilinski
Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, United States of America
 
Carnegie Mellon University is creating a digital scholarship center through the join-support of the university libraries and Dietrich College (H/SS). Its core team is charged to grow an interdisciplinary digital community of practice through outreach, consultation, and collaboration in digital research from the seed of a grant-funded DH program.
 
 
Digitizing NOW - an experiment in embedded digital librarianship
Jody Perkins
Miami University, United States of America
 
As part of a Women and Gender Studies capstone seminar, students worked with their instructor and an embedded digital librarian to digitize, catalog, and blog about materials from an archive of scrapbooks documenting the work of two local activists in the 1970s to mobilize local chapters of N.OW.
 
 
Electronic Literature and Technographic Metadata
Erik Radio(1), Elika Ortega(2)
1: University of Arizona, United States of America; 2: Northeastern University, United States of America
 
Electronic literature poses new challenges for metadata practices. This presentation explores a complex shift from bibliographic to technographic metadata, a hybridity denoting a work’s expressive capacity to be technical in origins. Comparisons of e-lit taxonomies and ontologies will be addressed, and whether this phenomenon is indicative of emerging trends.
