SUMMARY:DPLA Book Talk: Recoding America\, with Jennifer Pahlka
DESCRIPTION:On July 24\, 2023\, at 11a MT/10a PT\, DPLA will host author Jennifer Pahlka to talk about her important new book\, Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better.\n______________________ \nA bold call to reexamine how our government operates—and sometimes fails to—from President Obama’s former deputy chief technology officer and the founder of Code for America. \nJust when we most need our government to work—to decarbonize our infrastructure and economy\, to help the vulnerable through a pandemic\, to defend ourselves against global threats—it is faltering. Government at all levels has limped into the digital age\, offering online services that can feel even more cumbersome than the paperwork that preceded them and widening the gap between the policy outcomes we intend and what we get. \nBut it’s not more money or more tech we need. Government is hamstrung by a rigid\, industrial-era culture\, in which elites dictate policy from on high\, disconnected from and too often disdainful of the details of implementation. Lofty goals morph unrecognizably as they cascade through a complex hierarchy. But there is an approach taking hold that keeps pace with today’s world and reclaims government for the people it is supposed to serve. Jennifer Pahlka shows why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government. \nLearn more about Jennifer Pahlka’s work at recodingamerica.us. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:2023 LD4 Conference on Linked Data
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn concrete ways that linked data benefits GLAM institutions\, and discover pathways to participation in linked data. Whether you have already implemented linked data in your work or are just getting started\, you will leave with a better understanding of what linked data is\, how it can be used\, and what you can do to get started or continue to incorporate linked data in your institutions or projects. By bringing together a broad range of perspectives\, and centering diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and ethics in our discussions\, we will create a community of practice for linked data in libraries.  \nThe LD4 conference is part of a wider LD4 Community\, which includes a website (ld4.io)\, a Slack Workspace\, and several open affinity groups. Join the LD4 Slack workspace where you’ll find channels for affinity groups on topics like discovery (#discovery)\, ethics in linked data (#ethicsld)\, and Wikidata (#wikidata). \nThe language of the conference is English. \nRegistration to open in June.

SUMMARY:DPLA Book Talk: Burning the Books\, with author Richard Ovenden
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 5 at 1p ET for a book talk with author Richard Ovenden\, director of the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford\, about his book\, Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. \nPlease register here. \nThe director of the famed Bodleian Libraries at Oxford narrates the global history of the willful destruction―and surprising survival―of recorded knowledge over the past three millennia. \nLibraries and archives have been attacked since ancient times but have been especially threatened in the modern era. Today the knowledge they safeguard faces purposeful destruction and willful neglect; deprived of funding\, libraries are fighting for their very existence. Burning the Books recounts the history that brought us to this point. \nRichard Ovenden describes the deliberate destruction of knowledge held in libraries and archives from ancient Alexandria to contemporary Sarajevo\, from smashed Assyrian tablets in Iraq to the destroyed immigration documents of the UK Windrush generation. He examines both the motivations for these acts―political\, religious\, and cultural―and the broader themes that shape this history. He also looks at attempts to prevent and mitigate attacks on knowledge\, exploring the efforts of librarians and archivists to preserve information\, often risking their own lives in the process. \nMore than simply repositories for knowledge\, libraries and archives inspire and inform citizens. In preserving notions of statehood recorded in such historical documents as the Declaration of Independence\, libraries support the state itself. By preserving records of citizenship and records of the rights of citizens as enshrined in legal documents such as the Magna Carta and the decisions of the US Supreme Court\, they support the rule of law. In Burning the Books\, Ovenden takes a polemical stance on the social and political importance of the conservation and protection of knowledge\, challenging governments in particular\, but also society as a whole\, to improve public policy and funding for these essential institutions.
