Indigenous Cultures: From Observing to Experiencing, from Videography to 3D VR Immersion

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Indigenous Cultures: From Observing to Experiencing, from Videography to 3D VR Immersion (ID: EDU07202)
Author(s):Ulrich Rauch (The University of British Columbia) and Linc Kesler (The University of British Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

A challenge arises in making digital information and communication technologies accessible to indigenous communities. From digital preservation of cultural and historic artifacts to embedding culturally sensitive materials in academic courses, technology can become a double-edged sword: it can be deployed to obfuscate a critical analysis of how "communication" is understood as meaningful by First Nations themselves.

Developing Legal and Policy Frameworks to Sustain Digital Scholarship

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Developing Legal and Policy Frameworks to Sustain Digital Scholarship (ID: EDU05160)
Author(s):Michael Furlough (University of Virginia) and Madelyn F. Wessel (University of Virginia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/19/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Scholars producing complex born-digital scholarship need new models of institutional support, including different distribution channels for finished projects. Libraries are thus expanding their roles beyond archiving to include technical and legal developmental support and dissemination. What policy frameworks are needed when we commit to stable, long-term collection of digital scholarship?

Virtual Continuity

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Virtual Continuity (ID: EDU9956)
Author(s):Nancy M. Cline (Harvard University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (1999)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:What will be expected of libraries in the next millennium? In recent centuries libraries have held significant roles in research and education: selecting and organizing materials for collections; developing systems of intellectual access; organizing items for physical access and retrieval; and preserving items for long-term use. These attributes of durability are challenged in today's fast-paced digital environment of networks, web interfaces, and proliferating search engines. Permanence, as we have known it, is illusory in the digital environment.As we look to the new century, we must shape an information environment that has sustainable systems of access to enduring information resources so that users, now and in the future, can rely upon them with confidence. Defining this future calls for new combinations of talent and expertise, for short and long-term collaborations, and for experimentation and risk-taking in order to develop the best strategies for managing rapidly expanding amounts of digital information.

Beyond the Shelf: Providing Access to Historic Microfilmed Materials

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Beyond the Shelf: Providing Access to Historic Microfilmed Materials (ID: EDU04147)
Author(s):Mary Molinaro (University of Kentucky)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/22/2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:An IMLS-supported project is creating a fully searchable, digital, page-image archive of rare, historic Kentuckiana books using a microfilm-to-digital methodology. The presenter will discuss how microfilm ensures preservation and the digital images ensure easy access and wide distribution. This hybrid, standards-based, nonproprietary approach can serve as a model for cost-effective access and preservation of published materials.

Digital Preservation: The Issues Aren't Going Away

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Digital Preservation: The Issues Aren't Going Away (ID: EDU0268)
Author(s):Michael Neuman (Georgetown University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2002)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:If digital preservation is "the storage, maintenance, and accessibility of a digital object over the long term"(CEDARS), then in terms of storage, what standards, formats, compression, media, methods, and redundancy are needed? For maintenance, what handling, refreshing, migration, and disaggregation of multimedia should we use? For accessibility, what metadata models, interoperability, rights management, and user requirements are relevant? Participants will select emphases of the discussion.

Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Preserving Electronic Materials - Current Issues Roundtable (ID: EDU0193)
Author(s):Joanne D. Eustis (Case Western Reserve University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Libraries and archives, in fact universities, have been publishing digital content and transferring materials from print to digital formats for more than a decade with no assurance that a viable (affordable and technologically practical) long term preservation solution exists. In addition to issues such as technology obsolescence and digital fragility, preservation strategies must address a range of economic, legal, and organizational issues. Please join our discussion and share your responses (methods, policies, economic and staffing models) to the digital preservation challenge.
