and ‘the management gap,’ i.e. the ability of library managers to understand and value the benefits of in-house data science skills and to provide organizational and managerial support.Mon, 26 Mar 2018 20:34:34 Z{2CAD461D-E2D4-4720-A427-930F9037721A}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/1/design-for-diversity-towards-inclusive-information-systems-for-cultural-heritageDesign for Diversity Towards Inclusive Information Systems for Cultural HeritageThis session will present “Design for Diversity,” a project supported by an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Forums grant that focuses on the ways in which information systems embody and reinforce cultural norms, and asks how we can design systems that account for diverse cultural materials and ways of knowing.Tue, 23 Jan 2018 18:48:21 Z{2B987078-F35B-4E5E-817E-BD1B81224804}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/1/data-science-in-libraries-findings-and-a-roadmap-forwardData Science in Libraries: Findings and a Roadmap ForwardData Science in Libraries is an IMLS-funded National Forum grant that convened an international workshop in May of 2017.Tue, 23 Jan 2018 17:39:34 Z{9C0380D8-2B12-404F-B619-7AC26BC0BDEB}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2018/1/annotation-and-publishing-standards-work-at-the-w3cAnnotation and Publishing Standards Work at the W3CThe World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recently published new W3C recommendations (standards) on web annotation.Tue, 23 Jan 2018 17:30:45 Z{0E7C5B1B-411C-4AA7-B8F1-4D7352F06678}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/the-2016-enterprise-application-market-in-higher-educationThe 2016 Enterprise Application Market in Higher EducationThe 2016 Enterprise Application Market reports from the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research use data from the EDUCAUSE Core Data Service (CDS) to better understand how higher education institutions approach various information systems.<br/>Fri, 12 May 2017 16:53:48 Z{5D3A8DB4-A64D-44C0-BCE3-E6827128349B}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/building-capacity-for-digital-humanities-a-framework-for-institutional-planningBuilding Capacity for Digital Humanities: A Framework for Institutional PlanningThis paper outlines a practical framework for capacity building to develop institutional digital humanities support for IT staff, librarians, administrators, and faculty with administrative responsibilities.Tue, 30 May 2017 14:24:44 Z{76525B3E-A244-4E14-AE00-F4E5A9624167}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/rethinking-institutional-repository-strategiesRethinking Institutional Repository StrategiesThis is a report of a CNI Executive Roundtable held April 2 & 3, 2017.Wed, 10 May 2017 21:44:26 Z{4C1B1637-E49C-4F8B-9C5C-7206A1F8A699}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/what-todays-students-have-taught-usWhat Today’s Students Have Taught UsProject Information Literacy (PIL) is a series of national research studies that investigates what it is like to be a student in the digital age.Wed, 10 May 2017 17:39:21 Z{4CB74C3F-DC2C-45D3-8AC1-BA71181A0AA4}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/the-role-of-academic-libraries-in-an-era-of-fake-news-alternative-facts-and-information-overloadThe Role of Academic Libraries in an Era of Fake News, Alternative Facts, and Information Overload This hot-button presentation focuses on what the role of academic libraries should be in helping individuals make sense of a world bursting at the seams with information—some of it completely unreliable. Reflecting on our history of promoting information literacy, librarians and other information professionals need to ask ourselves which instructional approaches we should keep, which we need to change, and how we might use technology to improve our success in helping students become information-literate scholars and citizens.Wed, 10 May 2017 17:22:21 Z{DD88DD28-B110-44E7-B608-3DB33AAF0171}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/5/advancing-accessibility-through-librariesAdvancing Accessibility through LibrariesThis panel will provide an update and discussion on three accessibility initiatives: an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) planning grant for repository services, the Association for Research Libraries (ARL) captioning initiative, and a pilot at the University of Illinois to contribute DAISY files to the HathiTrust Digital Library.

It is hoped that this report will stimulate discussions about the role of libraries in institutional learning analytics, enable the technical capabilities necessary for libraries to contribute to institutional understanding of student learning, and ultimately enable libraries to employ a new approach to supporting student learning and success.Fri, 11 Dec 2020 16:52:48 Z{B5968E5A-A42B-4A66-886F-64E9D28B50C7}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2017/1/documenting-the-now-supporting-scholarly-use-and-preservation-of-social-media-contentDocumenting the Now Supporting Scholarly Use and Preservation of Social Media ContentThis session was presented at the CNI Fall 2016 Project Briefings.
