Title A name given to the resource Bringing User-Centered Design to the Field of Language Archives Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource Within this academic journal, Wasson et al provides the reader with both research and findings from their self-conducted workshop that sparks conversation between “fields of user-centered design (UCD) and language archives” (Wasson et al). Within the article itself, there is emphasis on the challenges of digital archiving in regard to language archiving, navigating cultural practices, and then using the understanding of these concepts to make informed archive design decisions. These concepts all arise within their workshop, “User-Centered Design of Language Archives.” Specifically, a very important discovery that is made within the workshop is how, “most language archives are not meeting the needs of most users” (Wasson et al). I found the information within this article and, further, within their study, to be extremely informative of and pertinent to the study of digital archiving and the challenges that arise from the format of language. The focus on the user and user-based design is a step towards personalizing and adapting existing archives while also setting a new standard for language archives. As mentioned prior, this study not only analyzed existing archives, but it also uncovered flaws within the archiving practice. This showcases the relevancy and need for this study and I believe it also warrants the inclusion of such an item within the showcase.

Title A name given to the resource Oldies But Goodies: Archiving Web- Based Information Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource Phyllis Holman Weisbard discusses the ways of archiving web-based information. With so much former print versions of materials now available electronically, what she focuses on is how material that never had a print version (born digitals) are in the most danger of disappearing. Web domains lapse, e-zines lose funding and as a result their materials disappear. Weisbard focuses her attention on the Internet Archive and pays particular attention to its Wayback Machine. Wayback crawls through millions of websites (using Alexa software) and saves versions of these sites. She then turns her attention to web archiving projects that focus solely on women. She gives URLs for a blog resource on women’s voices, describes Aletta, Institute for Women’s History, and how the staff has created hundreds of items of women’s e-zines and newsletters, LOCKSS, and Portico (other initiatives dedicated to preserving the writings of women). This article has information on web archiving technology focusing on preserving women’s writings. Weisbard’s article shows visuals of each site so you can examine each interface. Her essay is a call to action for Women’s Studies scholars to be more proactive in preserving of these female voices by working in collaboration with librarians and archivists.

Title A name given to the resource Claiming the Archive for Rhetoric and Composition Description An account of the resource Susan Wells’ "Claiming the Archive for Rhetoric and Composition" is broken into three sections where she outlines the “gifts” of “resistance,” “freedom,” and “possibility” that digital archiving technology affords composition and rhetoric students, and scholars. Her concept of resistance involves the tendency for archives to complicate, and challenge a researchers’ hypotheses forcing them to critically engage the(ir own) process of inquiry. She continues by offering the gift of “freedom,” where she argues that the proliferation of resources and archives pertaining to the humanities, and composition and rhetoric in particular serve as justification of the field, while challenging traditional conceptions of “text” and “scholarly” work. She defines the gift of “possibility” by suggesting that archives can, and should be used to review and revise the substance, and political positioning of composition and rhetoric departments in the face of reduced budgets, and the dismissal of the field as merely a service to other “legitimate” scholarly subjects. She further posits that archives allow for the emergence of new and important dialogistic relationships, seeing archives as a place for the voices of “others” to be discovered, studied, and engaged. She uses Jacqueline Jones Royster’s Traces of a Stream as an example of an archive of “other” voices, the study of which she suggests should lead to new perspectives of our own voices, and situations.

The program is working in collaboration with NYU Libraries and Coalition for Networked Information. This is run under their communications and sciences department. The presentation is an introduction to people who are trying to preserve personal information and sort it into an organized way that is easy to look and search through. The presentation itself is an interesting and colorful powerpoint for viewers in order to keep them engaged. This is especially important for people who are not familiar with programs. The presentators will introduce the concept of preserving personal information and how to do it without encountering more problems in a funny, comedic way.This adds an aspect of relatability for the readers in order to keep them following along in what is usually an extensive and complicated process. This presentation is valuable because it allows viewers an easy introduction into how to preserve personal information, the dangers of not doing so, and the correct way to do so. Preserving information can be a quite tricky and tedious task, with even the smallest errors resulting in incorrectly preserved and processed information.

Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource Data Archiving discusses how science depends on good data. Most data are central to the understanding of the natural world. The results of the study, when published, the data on which those results were based are sometimes stored unreliably. The subject of loss can occur because of hard drive failure. Also, it can be because of hard drive failure, and it might be the research for getting the specific details required to use the data. For the broader community, most data are never available, which can be even after publication of the results. It also explains how the data, even after the main results for which they were collected, are published, are invaluable to science, for meta-analysis, new uses, and quality control. Necessary summary statistics are often not published. The study is only used if the original data are available to the meta-analysts. Data can be used in ways beyond the questions that sparked its collection. Error checking, making science more peon, and letting us more rapidly reach accurate conclusions can happened because of the availability of data of published studies. It even explains why data are adequately archived are saved for posterity. This article has a well-detailed explanation of how science depends. It brings up various examples such as GenBank, which shows the value of availability of data for all those above reasons. data data mining preservation http://dar.cah.ucf.edu/files/original/d1c5ee73105531c999c3a7b3c64c3701.jpeg d2766877b1c9fba9192feb48ee941036 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Archive Strikes Back: Effects of Online Digital Language Archiving on Research Relations and Property Rights Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource This chapter examines the complications that are present when attempting to digitally archive spoken languages, focusing on how researchers and archivists must act to minimize or avoid property right violations. Widlok first explains why researchers find it necessary to digitize their archives, believing that non-digitized collections risk becoming “data cemeteries” that are more prone to data loss. By placing their research into these archives and with the efficient use of metadata, these collections become more effective in data preservation. However, the digitization of this data brings new concerns for archivists. These issues often center around matters of access to collections. Many archivists attempt to solve these problems by providing layered access to these collections, with different groups being allowed to view different levels of content. However, Widlok notes that this solution does not solve the problem when working with the property rights of the spoken languages of different communities. Some members involved, such as funding agencies and researchers, may attempt to have this information more freely available, while members of these communities may desire more restrictions. Widlok also notes that there may be different opinions among members of the same community. He instructs researchers to take these varying attitudes into account and work to avoid instigating conflicts between opposing parties.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Evolution of Access: Classified, Privacy, and Proprietary Restrictions Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource The three authors of this article discuss three different repositories which house confidential, legally protected content and describe measures each institution takes to balance the archival values of preserving and providing access to its holdings against the equally important archival value of protecting the privacy rights and concerns of its donors. William C. Carpenter recounts the history of declassifying military and government documents and commends the succession of presidential orders that established automatic declassification in response to the ever-growing accumulation of military and government documents. While governments frequently halt declassification of certain documents during crises, such as 9-11, or open documents as in the Abu-Ghraib debacle, the automated declassification system places the onus on the donating agencies for keeping records sealed. Business archives, on the other hand, enjoy greater legal protection for sealing its records from public access. Sara A. Polirer explains U.S. trade laws and property rights consider business records economically valuable assets despite their intangible nature. Because digitization and Internet commerce place marketable ideas at greater risk of copyright infringement, and because economic value is a fundamental factor in writing legislation, business archives must implement policies that promote business needs over the public’s right to know. The archival practice, “due diligence” applies to business archives in the careful classification of content and anticipation of what future researchers may need to know. Health science archives face an especially difficult challenge in balancing the public’s right to know with protecting the privacy of patient records. Judith A. Wiener discusses the rationale for the patient privacy act, HIPAA, and identifies the problems incurred by health related archives ingesting health records. Because HIPAA does not designate time limits (as do military and government declassification regulations), nor does it provide guidelines for reformatting and digitizing health records, health science archives have had to restrict access and impede potential research and scholarship. In response, individual repositories and institutions are developing policies including the redactment of personally identifiable information and inserting time limits to both protect the privacy of the donors while providing access to the historically rich records.
