DH Skillshare is an open-access knowledge resource for digital humanists. The goal of this website is to provide a set of written or recorded (video or audio) instructional posts covering tools that digital humanists might find of value, regardless of their field or institution.
Despite their similarities, libraries and museums have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to user interaction and accessibility. In order to increase accessibility to their collections and thus increase the knowledge production potential of the information sources therein, the two types of institution need not only to learn from each other but also to collaborate. This presentation will explore the current state of library/museum collaboration and explore some directions for future work, including bringing collaboration between the two fields into the classroom at the graduate level.
A prototype of a (hypothetical) re-design of the website for the Archive of Contemporary Music (ARC) guided by the principles of user-centered design. We will demonstrate our final high-fidelity prototype with additional deliverables created as part of our user-centered design process. These materials will include our site map, user research report, personas and scenarios, card sorting results, sketches, and wireframes.
This project reflects the results of user research and presents a new, reimagined Pratt SILS website to meet the information needs of key user groups: prospective students, current students, and alumni.
The project for this semester’s Projects in Moving Image and Sound Archiving course was to create an audiovisual archive in partnership with the Archives of the American Field…
FRBRization of records shows great promise in improving the user experience and discovery of resources. This is particularly true in the music domain, where instances of the same work may appear in a variety of formats. FRBR allows for the collocation of records from a work-centered approach.
There is opportunity for the discussion to begin, as the role of the LMS changes with implementation of nationwide Common Core Standards. Once considered irrelevant to education, the LMS and the library are suddenly imperative to the transformations taking place in education due to these Standards.
A poster showcasing the steps of the user-centered design process for a (hypothetical) re-design of the website for the Fluvanna Free Library in Jamestown, NY. Students will show…
Archives store, maintain and organize a variety of primary sources, which can range from letters to audiovisual recordings along with any primary documentation in-between. Archiving cemeteries offer an…
Using exploratory methods of Linked and Open Data, “Perspectives of Origin: A Geographic Encounter” project seeks to display specific geographic origin information of cultural heritage objects from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A comparison of three contemporary libraries – Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscripts at Yale; Sendai Mediatheque in Japan; Seattle Central Library in Oregon. With Beinecke as the touchstone, a study of how the contemporary library incorporates a traditional book library and expands to include any/all other media and a community’s desires and expectations of the role of their library. Intended to elicit further discussion and study of how modern libraries serve us architecturally.
Linked Incunables is a scholarly tool that provides geospatial referencing for works from the incunabular period (ca. 1455-1501) of early European printing by converting catalog information from the New York Public Library’s Rare Book Division into linked data format.
This data quilt, an information visualization, is the second in a series of textile objects that archive an ongoing digital humanities research project/blog: Runaway Quilt Project.
While technology has made digitization of books possible, the conversion to digital surrogates does not resolve the controversial question of where and how we should preserve our vast collections of original source materials.
Personal Information Management (PIM) is about keeping information and organizing it in such a way that we can find it when we need it. Our research defines the growing perimeters of PIM, explores the User-Subjective Approach as a model for design and investigates potential implications in the reference environment.
