Unified in the Face of Adversity
From Vice Provost and Director of Libraries Damon Jaggars:
As our thoughts turn to those physically injured Monday, I ask that we also keep a watchful eye
on the needs of our fellow faculty and staff, the students who work with us and utilize our spaces
and services, and ourselves. Traumatic events like these affect each of us differently, so if you
see someone who needs help, extend a hand. And if you need help yourself, please ask for it.
For students: Counselors continue to be available through Student Life's Counseling and
Consultation Service. Visit their website for more information. After hours, call 614-292-5766.
For faculty and staff: The Ohio State University Employee Assistance Program has set up
special counseling sessions. Call the EAP at 800-678-6265 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
or email them at [email protected].
As President Drake stated in his message to the university community, "Days such as these test
our spirit as Buckeyes – but together we remain unified in the face of adversity."
We need to take care of each other during this trying time, with special attention to those most
vulnerable among us. Again, we must "remain unified in the face of adversity."

Copyright Resources Center working to increase
outreach to graduate students
The Copyright Resources Center has joined The Graduate School’s Graduation Services for a
series of information sessions targeted to graduate student programs across campus.
Graduation Services provides students with details on candidacy, examination processes,
graduation forms, and deadlines. The Copyright Resources Center informs students on common
copyright issues they may encounter, including considerations with the submission of their thesis
or dissertation to the OhioLINK ETD Center.
Program visits have reached the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, and Food,
Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, with remote outreach to Ohio State Agricultural
Technical Institute. Additional information sessions are scheduled for Spring 2017.
Do you know a graduate program or group of graduate students that may be interested in
learning more about copyright? Please contact the Copyright Resources Center at
Digital Collections System Launched
We are very happy to announce the launch of the Digital Collections(DC) website at noon,
November 16, 2016. Visitors to the Image Collections systems are redirected to the Digital
Collections system. This includes the handles for those items that have them. The system is
ready for viewing, editing, uploading, enjoying. We think that this update will bring improved
reliability and some functional improvements that will continue our journey to promote our
distinctive collections to our patrons.

Data Analytics programs set
What is “Translational” in Translational Data Science?
Tuesday, December 6, 10 -11:30 a.m., Research Commons
Terms such as “big data,” “data analytics,” and “data science” are becoming increasingly
common in conversations about academic research and with researchers themselves. New and
developing initiatives at Ohio State, such as the Translational Data Analytics Discovery Theme
and the Undergraduate Data Analytics Major, demonstrate the importance that Ohio State is
placing on these emerging areas. What does this mean for the OSU research community, and
how can Libraries’ faculty and staff support these data-centered initiatives? Dr. Raghu Machiraju,
Interim Director of Translational Data Analytics, will discuss these topics and more at this
professional development series event sponsored by the Programming Committee.
Dr. Raghu Machiraju is an established computer scientist, holding the rank of a Full Professor in
the Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Computer Science and Engineering. He is
currently serving as the Interim Director of Translational Data Analytics, a Discovery Theme
Initiative on campus. Raghu's research lies squarely in data science and analytics. He has
applied methods of machine learning, data mining and modelling and visualization to problems in
genetics, medical image analysis, semiconductor physics and fluid dynamics. His recent NIH and
NSF funded work pertains to developing methods that deal with multiple kinds of data (clinical
records, genomics, etc.) in an integrative manner. In his spare time, he is on a mission to
"automate biology" by repurposing 3D printers as laboratory robots and by adding machine
vision and natural language abilities to “mitigate the misery of hapless staff and students in a
biology lab.”
Brainstorming Data in the Libraries
Wednesday, December 7, 10 a.m.-noon, Research Commons
This brainstorming session will serve as a follow-up to Raghu’s presentation on December 6 and
provide a platform for interested Libraries’ faculty and staff to discuss best practices, potential
opportunities, and possible gaps related to the Libraries’ role in contributing to data-centered
research initiatives at Ohio State. Come and discuss the things you found interesting from
Raghu’s presentation, conversations around data happening in your area, and your ideas for
moving data services forward in the Libraries.

How Do We Know What Works in Teaching and
Learning? Annual Teaching and Learning In-Service
This year’s In-Service will particularly focus on the evolving role of librarian as pedagogical

(University Center for the Advancement of Teaching).
The workshop will be held Friday, December 2 in Thompson Library, Room 150A/B. Registration

this very interactive workshop.

Recreation Center. The ceremony will feature a guest speaker and performances
by several student groups. We will then assemble along the tree-lined walk for a
candlelit rendition of Carmen Ohio. The evening will conclude with the inaugural

WINDOWS ON DEATH ROW
November 5, 2016 - March 12, 2017
In Death Penalty We Trust by Patrick Chappette
Windows on Death Row features over 70 works of art by famous American political
cartoonists, as well as from a more unlikely source, death row inmates. Using art as a tool for
social awareness, this exhibition opens a window into an often hidden part of the ongoing
conversation about capital punishment – exploring the system through the eyes of the
incarcerated. At a moment when our country is becoming ever more polarized regarding racial
injustice and economic inequality, the questions that this exhibition raises could not be more
timely.
