Libraries the Intersection of Technology and Innovation
As library workers we are very proud (and rightly so) about the successful
ways in which we have adapted to changing times and technologies. Of
course, we can't rest on our laurels. It's said too often that change is the
new normal. That's because it's true. If it is the new normal, let's explore
some scenarios underpinning even greater change in the coming years. Is
the traditional web dying? Yes. Are some of our favorite formats ending?
Yes - DVD, CD, MP3, eBooks, and more. What about apps? Nope, they're
dying quickly. How should our organizations be structured, led, and
managed to build capacity for faster, more adaptive success? What will
our future work look like? What is the future of digital? What is the future of
physical?
Stephen will explore these questions and more in this opening session to
start off our virtual conference conversations.
Stephen Abram, MLS, is a strategy and direction planning
consultant for libraries and the information industry as

Digital Scholarship as Partnership
With resources shrinking and technology continuing to leap forward, one
sustainable pathway to creating and sustaining scholarly digital projects is
through partnerships. The Emory Center for Digital Scholarship (ECDS)
leverages partnerships with faculty, students, librarians, and IT professionals
to create scholarly projects as a form of public scholarship.
By adapting practices that exist within the library and IT cultures, ECDS has
partnered in the creation of nearly 100 projects, many intended to engage
both scholars and the general public in the creation of new knowledge.
This session will highlight the adapted practices and provide a sustainable
framework that can be applied to other libraries and centers that help
create scholarly digital projects.
Wayne H. Morse, Jr. MA led the design efforts for the physical,
organizational structure, and processes of the Emory Center for
Digital Scholarship. He co-leads a group of librarians, IT
professionals, and students in developing projects across a wide
range of fields -- from art to clinical science -- in an effort to
change how scholarly work gets published, curated, and
integrated into teaching.
Wayne's research interests include:
Building support for 21st century researchers through blending traditional
models of practice
Digital methods as part of public scholarship
Sustainable digital publishing platforms
Technology-enhanced teaching and learning
Virtual presence as part of pedagogy
3D environments in research and pedagogy

Library Freedom Project: Practical Privacy
Advocacy for 21st Century Librarians
Library Freedom Project (LFP) is an initiative that turns library ethics into
action, teaching librarians how to fight for privacy rights through
workshops and advocacy. The newest LFP initiative is Library Freedom
Institute (LFI), the first long-term, intensive training for librarians in
issues of privacy and surveillance. Over the course of a six month
online program funded by IMLS, LFI creates privacy advocates who can
share their knowledge with the public through programs, and support
policy decisions in their institutions and broader communities. Join LFP
founder and director Alison Macrina to hear how Library Freedom got
started, get simple tips for making privacy a priority in your library,
and learn about how to get involved in Library Freedom Institute.
Alison Macrina is the founder and executive direcertor of
the Library Freedome Project. Alison is also a librarian,
internet activist, and a core contributor to The Tor Project.

to another level at your library. This session helps you rejuvenate all aspects
of your program, including hiring and training of staff, designing and
building new computer labs, curriculum design & assessments, partnering
with organizations, having a social media presence, unique marketing tips
and building relationships with key people. Learn all about how The New
York Public Library TechConnect program tripled it‘s tech program to over
120K attendees in 2017, by taking a blended learning approach,
traditional strategies, and tapping into the emerging tech to create
innovative practices and services.

Access, Access, Access: A Look at
Major Challenges and Issues, and Some Solutions
The mission of libraries includes providing access—in as “democratic” a
way as possible—to both physical and virtual collections and resources.
Access is the first core value listed by the American Library Association.
This presentation will highlight some of the major economic, technical, and
data-related obstacles to providing online access to library, archive, and
museum collections and other resources, and will offer some potential
solutions. Model projects, and examples of existing tools and methods that
can be used to enhance access, will be presented. Commercial search
engines like Google purport to offer “universal access,” but this is far from
the truth. Now more than ever, library standards carefully crafted and
formatted descriptive metadata and the use of controlled vocabularies
and user-generated terminology (including “folksonomies”) can help
libraries to reach more users, and to come closer to
achieving the goal of unfettered access.
Murtha Baca, PhD has three decades of experience as an
implementer and teacher of descriptive metadata and
controlled vocabularies. She led the Getty Vocabulary
Program, which developed and maintains multilingual
controlled vocabularies for art, architecture, and material
culture that are used all over the world. She developed and
taught, for 18 years, a graduate seminar on metadata for the
UCLA Department of Information Studies. She was a co-editor of Cataloging
Cultural Objects, and the editor of Introduction to Metadata, in addition to
writing and editing numerous articles and keynote speeches. As Head of Digital
Art History at the Getty Research Institute (GRI) in Los Angeles, Murtha led a
team of scholars and technical experts who developed the GRI’s first “born-
digital” scholarly publication. She has taught numerous workshops and seminars
nationally and internationally, and written extensively on descriptive metadata,
controlled vocabularies, and digital project management. She has twice
received the De Laurier award from the Visual Resources Association (VRA); in
2017 she received the Distinguished Teaching award from the UCLA
Department of Information Studies.

Inclusion of 3D Artifacts into a Digital Library:
Exploring Technologies and Best Practice Techniques
The IUPUI University Library Center for Digital Scholarship 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. This presentation will focus on incorporating 3D
technologies into an already established digital library of community
and cultural heritage collections.
Jenny Johnson, MLS is the Co-Director of the IUPUI University
Library Center for Digital Scholarship. She leads
the development of digital projects with IUPUI Faculty and
Indianapolis community and cultural heritage institutions.
Most recently, her work has focused on implementing 3D technologies into
current digitization workflows that include establishing best practices and
standards for digitization and metadata.
