Facing Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation: The Research Library’s Role and Georgetown University’s Experience

December 8, 2017

K. Matthew Dames
Associate University Librarian
Georgetown University

Melissa Levine
Lead Copyright Officer, Library
University of Michigan

Georgetown University is undergoing an extensive review of its early connections to American slavery, confronting its past and investigating ways to use its resources to address contemporary issues stemming from slavery. As part of this review, Georgetown University Library spent the past year investigating how to help the University become a world leader in the study of slavery, memory, and reconciliation, ultimately convening a Steering Committee that completed its work in September 2017. The Library Steering Committee’s report recommends as its highest priority digitizing the Maryland Province Archives, portions of which chronicle how, why and when the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus sold slaves in 1838. The Jesuits used proceeds from that sale to sustain operations at Georgetown College, the University’s predecessor founded in 1789. In this briefing, we will discuss Georgetown’s process and then foster a broader dialogue about ways research libraries can leverage their mission and expertise to facilitate the creation of digital collections while simultaneously opening engagement with social, cultural, and racial issues that affect our institutions.

Institutional Repository Strategies: What We Learned at the Executive Roundtables

March 29, 2017

Clifford Lynch
Executive Director
Coalition for Networked Information

Listen to an audio recording of this presentation:

https://www.cni.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CNIs17-lynch-IRstrategies.m4a

The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) held two sessions of the Executive Roundtable “Rethinking Institutional Repository Strategies” just prior to the start of this membership meeting. There was high demand for participation in these events, so while we will produce a written summary, this session is intended to summarize and to some extent synthesize what we heard and what we learned. I’ll review the questions that framed the Roundtable and the major themes that surfaced. The focus of the Roundtable was to share strategies, policies, experiences, and perspectives on institutional and consortial activities in this area. Some potential topics on the table included the evolution of thinking about the purpose and objectives of different IRs, assessing IRs, uptake of repositories by various sectors of institutional populations, barriers to success, use of cloud services/platforms for IRs, and interfacing with SHARE, CHORUS, and disciplinary and funder repositories.

Bibliographic Framework Initiative: Process and Expectations

March 18, 2013

Roberta Shaffer
Associate Librarian of Congress for Library Services
Library of Congress

Listen to this Presentation

The Library of Congress (LC) has kicked off a process called the Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) to develop a new communications vehicle for bibliographic data, a cornerstone of libraries. The library and cultural heritage institution environment has and is changing, with the Web and the Internet becoming central factors for sharing both bibliographic data and resources themselves. The result page number on Google is a statistic of concern as it means visibility for the resources that libraries can supply to the community. While MARC has served well beyond the original expectations, there are aspects of the current community that could function better and enable libraries to be more central and relevant if the bibliographic description exchange tools were “retooled.” This presentation will describe the BIBFRAME steps taken thus far and the current expectations for this development with an aim of stimulating interest and concerns from attendees.
