We were able an early functional deployment of a production solution, while leaving open the possibilities of future enhancements. This talk will focus on our digital preservation strategy and provide a technical overview of the application.
12:10 PM 12:20 PM 0:10:00 Lightning talk Ghosts in the Library: A Collaborative Approach to Student Learning with Game-Based Pedagogy Lydia Willoughby (Research and Education Librarian), SUNY New Paltz How do you introduce creativity, playfulness and storytelling into a boring required library session in a stuffy computer classroom? “Ghosts in the Library” adds contextual narrative to library instruction sessions, requiring teams of students to utilize library resources in the creation of an artifact that will appease a historically relevant ghost haunting the library created with open code. The ghosts in question are important and diverse figures to the heritage of the Hudson Valley.
12:20 PM 12:30 PM 0:10:00 Lightning talk An Overview of the MetaArchive Cooperative and the SuperNode Pilot Project Christine Wiseman (Head, Digital Services Department), Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library This lightening talk will provide a brief overview of the MetaArchive Cooperative as we celebrate over 10 years of community based digital preservation. In addition, I will introduce a pilot project testing a SuperNode network infrastructure that could provide a cost effective option for smaller and mid sized institutions to participate in distributed digital preservation.
12:30 PM 12:40 PM 0:10:00 Lightning talk Like Herding Oral Histories: a Workflow for Access Alissa Matheny Helms (Digital Archivist), Kennesaw State University Archives This talk aims give an overview of the complex process faced by the Kennesaw State University Archives by which born digital oral histories go from accession to access (via its DSpace repository SOAR [soar.kennesaw.edu]) with the aid of various software programs that track and normalize data. Obstacles addressed include integrating disparate source material, normalizing multiple document formats, and managing differing rights requirements.
12:40 PM 2:00 PM 1:20:00 Lunch / Concurrent Interactive Poster Open World Atlanta VR Demo Spencer Roberts & Student Innovation Fellows, Georgia State University Open World Atlanta is a 3D virtual recreation of 1928 Atlanta, based on historical photographs and documents, in which users can explore the area around Five Points and interact with artifacts from the city's past

2:05 PM 2:30 PM 0:25:00 Concurrent Breakout - Exhibit Hall A little linked data from our systems and things to do with it. Laura Akerman (Discovery Systems and Metadata Librarian), Emory University This presentation gives just a little background about the IGeLU/ELUNA Linked Open Data Working Group and the status of linked data development by Ex Libris, and a little about the larger linked data/vendor landscape. Then a use case/brief demo of what can be done with linked data publishing/APIs for BIBFRAME and other formats, and thoughts on the future.
2:05 PM 2:30 PM 0:25:00 Concurrent Breakout - Room 202 B Digital Library of Georgia Technology Road Map: Big Changes for a Sustainable Future Brad Baxter (Application Analyst Principal), University of Georgia The Digital Library of Georgia's Web site, https://dlg.usg.edu, has undergone a major technology overhaul. We have migrated to new servers, new metadata administration systems, and new public interfaces; all with stability, sustainability, and longevity in mind. This session will describe our new technological framework, how the interface and administration systems have improved and some plans for continued improvements and enhancements.
2:05 PM 2:30 PM 0:25:00 Concurrent Breakout - Room 208 Lipstick on the Platform: Creating a theme generator for LibGuides Luke Aeschleman (NCSU Libraries, Digital Technologies Development Librarian), Daniel Whitehead (NC LIVE, Web & Database Development Librarian), NCSU Libraries Many smaller libraries use LibGuides as their CMS but lack the technical expertise to customize it. This results in simple designs and an uninspired user experience. To improve library websites across the state, NC LIVE, a North Carolina library consortium, created a LibGuides theming application for member libraries. In this talk, we’ll walk through the brief history of the project, reviewing our workflow, technical hurdles and solutions, and future development opportunities.
