SUMMARY:Data Cleaning with OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Interested in OpenRefine? Join Marriott Library’s own Research Data Librarians\, Kaylee Alexander and Madison Golden\, on October 24 for this FREE 2-hour workshop on this powerful data cleaning tool! This workshop is a part of a fall learning series by DELPHI\, the University of Utah Data Exploration and Learning for Precision Health Intelligence Data Science Initiative. \nDetails:\nWhat: Before you can analyze data you need to clean it. Data cleaning identifies errors and corrects formatting to create consistent data. This step must be taken with extreme care and attention because without clean data the results of analysis may be false and non-reproducible. \nOpenRefine is a powerful free and open source tool for working with messy data: cleaning it and transforming it from one format into another. \nThis Data Carpentry workshop will teach you to use OpenRefine to clean and format data effectively and automatically track any changes that you make. Many people comment that this tool saves them literally months of work trying to make these edits by hand. \nWho: The course is aimed at graduate students\, postdocs\, staff\, faculty\, and other researchers across campus who are interested in learning how to use OpenRefine for data cleaning. You do not need to have coding experience or any previous knowledge of OpenRefine to attend this workshop. \nRequirements: Participants must bring a laptop onto which they can download OpenRefine. Please download OpenRefine before the workshop). \nContact: Please email andrew.george@hsc.utah.edu or rebecca.barter@hsc.utah.edu for more information.

SUMMARY:BCMIG Fall 2024 Virtual Program: Conceptual Models in Digital Collections
DESCRIPTION:Please join ALA CORE’s Bibliographic Conceptual Models Interest Group (BCMIG) on Friday\, September 20\, 2024 at 12pm MT/11AM PT for the next virtual learning session. Our theme will be conceptual modeling and digital collections. The session will consist of two presentations (see details below)\, followed by Q&A. \nRegistration: https://ala-events.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkcemoqjwsE9KQnuXAfckzvyjp8JTm5Boc \nRound Pegs in Square Holes: Metadata Application Profiles in Large-Scale Metadata Aggregation \nTeresa K. Hebron\, Mountain West Digital Library \nAbstract: Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) was founded in 2001 and offers a public search portal supporting discovery of over a million items from digitized historical collections throughout the Mountain West. Aggregation necessitates a metadata application profile (MAP) to ensure metadata consistency and interoperability from the member network of libraries\, archives\, and community history organizations. Unique issues arise in combining metadata from diverse digital repository platforms and aggregation tech stacks introduce further constraints. Upstream aggregation of metadata in the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) also influences local and regional modeling decisions. This presentation will briefly trace the history of MWDL’s MAPs\, focusing primarily on decisions and changes made in the most recent version published in early 2020. \nBio: Teresa K. Hebron is the current Program Director of Mountain West Digital Library (based at University of Utah\, Salt Lake City). She joined MWDL in 2018 as Digital Metadata Librarian with a deep background in project management and technical support for integrated library systems. Her research focuses on metadata in large-scale aggregation projects\, data visualization\, and librarian employment patterns. \nMetadata Models for Research: Developing an Application Profile for the OSF \nGretchen Gueguen\, Center for Open Science \nAbstract: This presentation will cover the development of an application profile for the Open Science Framework (OSF)\, a diverse repository and collaboration tool geared for research. The platform was originally launched in 2012 and has added major new digital object models and workflows without a centralized metadata model. In 2022 and 2023\, staff endeavored to create a model that would both accommodate past decisions and future growth\, while retaining the unique nature of the platform which is organized around research projects\, rather than the individual digital objects that are the output of research. Using DataCite and Dublin Core as pillars\, the new model is designed for an RDF implementation\, utilizing linked data and semantic web concepts to power a new search API and interface for OSF. \nBio: Gretchen Gueguen is an archivist and librarian specializing in digital libraries and technology. She currently works at the Center for Open Science on the Open Science Framework (OSF) and is an adjunct professor for the PennWest – Clarion University Department of Information and Library Science. Gretchen has managed metadata services\, digitization\, and repository development at several universities including the University of Maryland\, East Carolina University\, and the University of Virginia\, as well as part of the Digital Public Library of America. She currently works with an international network of academic institutions and other research organizations as part of the OSF Institutions Membership Program. \nBest regards\, \nBCMIG Co-Chairs: Emily Baldoni\, Benjamin Riesenberg \nBCMIG Co-Vice-Chairs: Irma Fraticelli\, Xiying Mi

Submit a poster for consideration by Thursday\, October 10. \nThe NCPH poster session is a two-hour block of time at the annual meeting where presenters can share their projects with attendees in the form of a poster. It offers an alternative for presenters eager to share their work through one-on-one discussion\, can be especially useful for works-in-progress\, and may be a particularly appropriate format for presentations where visual or material evidence represents a central component of the project. The poster session will be held on Thursday\, March 27\, from 5:00-7:00 pm at le Centre Sheraton hotel in Montréal.

SUMMARY:Resourcefully Assessing: Critical Approaches to Assessment Series | Quality Indicators for Open Educational Resources (OER)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first event in the Resourcefully Assessing — Critical Approaches to Assessment series\, hosted by the Outreach & Assessment working group. This series will explore a variety of assessment strategies for different resource and collection types. In this coffee chat\, Joanna Schimizzi will discuss quality indicators for Open Educational Resources (OER). We’ll share example resources\, rubrics\, and templates that support you in finding and evaluating OER\, with a focus on primary source sets. Part of the conversation will of course focus on student needs and on the opportunity to customize and localize resources to build robust sets of work. \nJoanna Schimizzi is a Biology teacher in North Carolina and a Professional Learning Specialist with ISKME. While getting her Master’s in Education from Northeastern University\, she became extremely interested in classroom culture and student identity. This led her to work with ISKME and OER Commons to support educators in finding Open Educational Resources (OER) so that resources can be modified and remixed to include a wider variety of perspectives and experiences. Joanna is mom to two boys and lives with her husband in a little town outside of Charlotte\, NC. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Standardized Rights Statements
DESCRIPTION:Curious about standardized rights statements? Standardized rights statements help increase access and reuse of your items. By providing rights in the form of a machine-readable URI\, users can facet on rights in the DPLA interface and open access items can be shared by DPLA to Wikimedia Commons. Want to learn how to apply them to your digital collection? \nJoin the DPLA Rights Statements Working Group for an introduction to standardized rights statements. RightsStatements.org statements are a simple\, standardized system of labels that more clearly communicate the copyright and re-use status of digital objects to the public. Adding these labels to your digital collections will improve usability and access for users. Presenters for this webinar will include members of the DPLA Rights Statements Working Group\, many of whom are currently implementing rights statements for the collections they manage. They will share their expertise and experiences\, as well as a wide range of resources for implementation. \nRegister here.
