Describes work at University of Toronto Scarborough on supporting Sri Lankan archival fonds

Regardless of how special our collections are, it is important to not lose sight of larger trends in information management and discovery. Drawing on work from OCLC Research, this presentation will look at trends in collection management, user studies and resource description.

Looking beyond the service desk at UCSB Library's Special Research Collections to increase archival discovery and research engagement with the collections.

An overview of applications developed to facilitate management of archival collections and archival research at NC State, with a particular focus on interoperability.

This presentation will discuss the ethical and legal challenges as well as concrete approaches to providing archival access in Cuba. These challenges and approaches may be relevant to other global north/south collaborations or in locations with limited internet access.

The New York Public Library has been digitizing its collections for decades in an effort to make its myriad collections more broadly available to researchers. Through careful copyright research, clearance and an appropriate appetite for risk, NYPL has made nearly 900,000 items accessible to the open web. Despite these efforts, many of NYPL's audio and moving image collections remain difficult for remote researchers to access without having to travel to New York City. That's because copyright in audio and moving images collections can be significantly more complex than the copyright in a photo or manuscript. To address this issue, NYPL has launched a multi-discipline task force. One of the group's hypotheses is that a "virtual reading room" could be used to give access to remote researchers for private study, scholarship or research while complying with copyright law and NYPL's privacy values. This session will give you a peak into NYPL's early thoughts on how to make its audio and moving image collections that remain protected by copyright available to remote users.

Lighting the Way: A National Forum on Archival Discovery and Delivery took place over 2.5 days at Stanford University in Stanford, California from February 10-12, 2020. The event included approximately 70 participants, and focused on information sharing and collaborative problem solving around improving how user-facing systems support discovery and delivery for archives and special collections. These plenary presentations on Monday, February 10 were streamed and recorded via a Zoom webinar.

Information on providing archival services to the Tohono O'odham Nation.

This presentation will explore UC San Diego Library's approach to providing mediated online access to digital archival sources and the highly collaborative effort required to bring our Virtual Reading Room service to its current, pilot phase. The Virtual Reading room application extends the access control capabilities of our digital asset management system (DAMS) and builds a communication bridge between our Aeon instance and our DAMS to enhance researcher access and ease public services workflows.

This talk describes our use of Eloquent and outreach used to increase use of the San Bernardino County Historical Archives.

In this presentation, I review how copyright and FERPA relate to curation of student work. I explore these constraints through the lens of a collection of undergraduate student research papers from the marine biology library at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University.

The Pacific Lutheran University Archives and Special Collections is currently in the process of moving from several systems to a single collection management system. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges we faced with our previous systems, how we selected a new system, and how we are managing the project with a very small staff.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Lighting the Way project and National Forum, including goals and outcomes, the structure of the event, and more.

This presentation will report on outcomes from "Toward a National Archival Finding Aid Network" (NAFAN) -- a one-year (2018-2019) planning initiative convened by the CDL, with the participation of representatives from multiple regional finding aid aggregations. Many aggregators across the country struggle to find sufficient resources to update their platforms and engage with some of the most promising advances in the field. With crucial funding support provided by the IMLS under the provisions of LSTA and administered in California by the State Librarian, the NAFAN initiative proposed to explore the creation of a national archival finding aid network. The initiative provided participants opportunities to discuss and test the original premise: by pooling resources and establishing co-development partnerships, we believe we can address our individual challenges collectively, thereby extending the capabilities, breadth, and depth of existing aggregations. The presentation will highlight the action plan produced from the 2018-2019 project activities -- and will report on work currently being undertaken by the planning initiative participants to formalize and initiate work on action plan.

This talk will cover the design of our modular digital collections ecosystem and how management is distributed across multiple library partners. It will go over the design process, challenges and successes, and current efforts to build community around this approach.

Five years ago, Berea College's Special Collections and Archives had no real system for archival discovery and delivery. Today, after creating a systems ecosystem (with various systems such as Archon, Preservica, Universal Access, and others), our biggest challenge is determining how to effectively integrate the systems to work together as a coordinated whole. This presentation will focus on past migration work at Berea as well as upcoming migrations that will, hopefully, create an improved and more tightly integrated system for archival delivery and discovery.
