I found this journal to be informative regarding the ethics of media archiving with new considerations such as polls on Twitter and accounts that are not meaning to pander to the masses. I appreciate how the authors use recent studies to discuss the issue at hand. I like how it explores what the “good ethical practice” is in an archiving world that is constantly changing. I think even if the information changes over time, this will hold to be interesting as a piece of history. I believe what is “good ethical practice” will continue to shift and change, but this paper holds a piece of history as to what archivists believe to be ethical now.]]>2020-05-02T17:23:15+00:00
Title
Linking Survey and Twitter Data: Informed Consent, Disclosure, Security, and Archiving
Subject
Web Archiving
Description
In this academic journal, the authors discuss how the survey aspect of social media, Twitter in particular, presents an opportunity for a new way to collect data. It goes on to explain the complications in ethics that requires “a deeper understanding of the nature and composition of Twitter data to fully appreciate the risks of disclosure and harm to participants.” The authors discuss three studies and how they have to do with informed consent regarding archiving social media content. Due to the concern the information might not be meant to be shared, they discuss how to maintain ethics while keeping the nature of the shared information in mind in this discussion.

I found this paper to be incredibly valuable to the archive. It was published relatively recently and discusses the ethics of an up and coming form of archiving: social media. Not only does it utilize a study where archivists are asked to weigh in, but it also talks about what is in place as social media archiving stands now. I think this paper should be included because it is thorough, detailed, and full of information that poses realistic questions and concerns about the future of archiving in a digital age.

Title
Capturing a Moment: The Practices and Ethics of Social Media Archiving
Subject
Web Archiving
Description
In this Master’s Paper, Breed discusses archiving social media data through a study where thirty-eight archivists respond to a survey regarding their “institutional practices, their opinions of the ethical responsibilities of archives toward social media users, and the questions they still have about social media archiving.” The paper also covers the prevalence of this new form of archiving, ethics, available tools, real world examples, and the study. As social media archiving is still new in concept, the study aims to be the first of many into further research of social media ethics regarding archiving. It also intends to point out what ethical tools are lacking in this field according to archivists.

What Is A Data Archive And What Should The Information Specialist know about Managing Logically Maintained Numeric Data Files?
Subject
Archives
Description
This journal provides information about what an archive is, in specific, numerical data. It explains why numeric data files are important, for things like statistic and the importance of having a data file where to reference things. Local databases should be acquired and maintained because some information is only available in computerized form and because information sometimes must be in digitized form to be retrieved or manipulated efficiently. Due to a lack of indexes, directories, or union lists of data files, particularly those that are not online, the process of identifying and locating data files is difficult. The Guide to Resources and Services, which gives descriptions of over 20,000 files, is one of the most useful directories. Format of the data file to be bought depends on the computer equipment at the local institution and the software available there. Decisions have to be made regarding the support level to be offered to users of the computerized information. Management of the data archives requires administrative skills as well as knowledge of data files and their applications. There is no standard budget for setting up and maintaining an archive of numeric data as the scope and structure of every organization varies.

Digital Archives: Management, Access and Use offers an overview of the constantly evolving technological changes and improvements in the world and how digital archiving is affected by this. This book provides insights from international experts who contribute information on the changes in archives and what these changes mean in the long run. These experts also weigh-in on building digital archives, offering solutions to obstacles in planning and curating an archive while discussing the tools needed to aid with changes in the digital humanities. The book is separated into two parts; the first part, titled “Drivers for Modern Digital Archives” covers the basics of digital archives, managing possible “turbulence” or overcoming computer-related obstacles, legal issues involving digital archives, and scientific information policies. The entire second part of the book, titled “Case Studies,” covers a case study between two oral histories. This book offers basic information about Digital Archiving, while delving deeper into the management of a digital archive. This book also offers a section that covers recent developments in the archive world, and even offers a “How to Read this Book” section that breaks down abbreviations and provides suggestions on the order to read the book (in the order they appear). This book offers an in-depth look at managing digital archives and is good for archivists and researchers alike.

The unit starts with identifying key elements of physical texts (rare books from the university library) and how those might translate into a digital environment. It then moves through digitization and into the ways that computers impact our reading and analysis of texts, focusing on some introductory text analysis tools and text markup. Though my assignments revolve around computers and bytes more than paper and highlighters, they share the goal articulated by Paul Fyfe in “Digital Pedagogy Unplugged”: “to keep students’ attention on the critical labor that digital resources seem to dissolve” (par. 12). By introducing my students to the process of creating familiar products like a digitized text or a word cloud, I hoped to demonstrate to them that the act of building a digital product or working tool is always an act of interpretation.

Title
From Text to Tags: The Digital Humanities in an Introductory Literature Course
Subject
Pedagogy
Description
The class, titled “Introduction to Literary Study,” helps students build the foundational skills commonly used for the study of literature, including close reading, textual analysis, attention to genre and form, and attention to material and historical contexts. These are all skills that experts working in the digital humanities use to produce projects like digital scholarly editions, tools for large-scale analysis, and visual representations of texts and intertextual relationships. However, my students (largely sophomores), needed to work on honing those skills rather than applying them to a large-scale project or series of complex texts. With that in mind, I designed a digital humanities unit made up of a series of small assignments oriented towards experimenting with digitization and text analysis in a fairly low-stakes environment.
