“Our shared imperative: preserving digital content”

(10:00-11:00)
Carrie Daniels,University Archivist and Director of the University of Louisville Archives and Records Center, University of Louisville

Our world is increasingly digital. We read on our Kindles, we email and Facebook with our friends and families, and most of us don’t take pictures with film anymore. In our professional lives, we work with electronic versions of books and journals and provide digitized versions of historical materials. Unlike their analog predecessors, digital materials will not survive the equivalent of being placed on a shelf and left alone. Digital content requires attention and action in order to assure its survivor over the long term. This talk looks at the challenges we face in preserving our shared digital heritage, and offers some ideas about how we can meet these challenges together.

Carrie Daniels currently serves as the University Archivist and Director of the University of Louisville Archives and Records Center. Since her arrival at UofL in 2003 as Archivist for Automated Systems, she has had been responsible for enhancing access to primary source
materials held in the Archives. These materials range from born digital images to cassette tapes of oral history interviews. Digital preservation is an essential component of her work, and she has been involved with the MetaArchive Cooperative since 2004. Prior to coming to Louisville, Carrie worked in Digital Collections and Archives at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. She holds an MSLIS from Simmons College in Boston, an EdM from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a BBA from the University of Michigan.

Mobilizing Library Instruction

(2:45-3:30)
Wille Miller,Assistant Librarian, University Library, IUPUI

In the fall 2010, Indiana University created Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) to explore the use of mobile tablets (iPads) in the classroom. Willie Miller, Assistant Librarian, shares his experience taking this technology and integrating it into library instruction at IUPUI. In this presentation, Miller discusses the benefits and challenges of teaching with a mobile device. Current projections suggest that within the next three years mobile tablets will overtake desktop usage. Further, this presentation will identify possible opportunities and useful apps for libraries.

Wille Miller is an Assistant Librarian at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) University Library, where he serves as liaison to the Schools of Informatics and Journalism and chair of the Campus Outreach Group. He recently started participating in a faculty learning community with seven teaching faculty from across several disciplines that pioneered IUPUI’s use of iPads in the classroom. His current research focuses on mobile learning and student engagement.
