Abstract:How can librarians seize the radical affordances of OER to complicate standard narratives with the stories of those historically and systemically marginalized? Using work created through the University of Idaho’s Think Open Fellows 2019–20 Cohort as a starting point, the author explores how these projects created OER content that demonstrates Lambert’s three principles of OER and social justice. The author discusses the unique potentials of the academic library to support intentionally engaged OER as well as the responsibility of librarians to center marginalized perspectives in their work with faculty as cocreators and identifiers of OER. A discussion of some of the transformative aspects of this work follows, including the potential impacts on librarians with marginalized identities in creating intentionally engaged OER, as briefly examined through bell hooks’s notion of engaged pedagogy. The article concludes with a call to action, inspired by hooks and Austin, to specifically and intentionally diversify the perspectives represented in the OER we identify and create as librarians.
摘要：图书馆员如何抓住OER的激进可供性，将那些历史上和系统上被边缘化的人的故事与标准叙事复杂化？作者以爱达荷大学Think Open Fellows 2019-20 Cohort创建的工作为起点，探讨了这些项目如何创建OER内容，展示了Lambert的OER和社会正义三大原则。作者讨论了学术图书馆在支持有意参与的OER方面的独特潜力，以及图书馆员在与教师作为OER的共同创建者和识别者的工作中集中边缘化视角的责任。以下是对这项工作的一些变革性方面的讨论，包括对具有边缘化身份的图书馆员在创建有意参与的OER方面的潜在影响，通过bell hooks的参与教育学概念进行了简要考察。文章最后呼吁采取行动，灵感来自hooks和Austin，具体而有意地使我们作为图书馆员确定和创建的OER中所代表的观点多样化。

Abstract:When academic librarians began to address the high cost of textbooks a decade ago, they typically created textbook affordability programs tailored to the needs of their own institutions. Acting independently allowed for fast implementation and progress, but the downside of going it alone is the potential lack of sustainability. While colleges and universities continue to develop local programs, the predominant trend more recently is the statewide open educational resources initiative. This article reports the findings of a survey of these state initiatives to learn more about their governance structures, as no one model has emerged. This information can benefit existing and future statewide initiatives to optimally structure their governance model for productivity, inclusiveness, and sustainability.

Abstract:The increasingly high cost of textbooks coupled with the pedagogical opportunities presented by Creative Commons licenses has provided fertile ground for the development of open educational resources (OER) initiatives as an impactful practice for improving student success. Librarians are leading advocates for OER, yet little has been published on how librarians learn about OER or how faculty use OER in library and information science (LIS) programs. For this study, the author surveyed LIS faculty about their awareness and usage of OER as well as the role they imagine for future librarians in open education. LIS faculty, current and future librarians, and those interested in open education can glean insights on the usage of OER from the almost fifty respondents. Approximately half of the respondents regularly use some OER, and the other half have heard of it. Of those who have heard of OER, half of the respondents mention them in their teaching. Respondents believe that future librarians’ roles in OER range from traditional librarian roles of finding and providing metadata and curating resources to developing and leading OER initiatives. Given that several organizations offer training and certifications for librarians in OER, LIS programs can help meet this need in a variety of ways.

Abstract:Tang poetry, which still attracts a lot of research interest due to its unique value and wide audience, is one of the highest achievements of Chinese culture. Tang poetry data have the characteristics of multisource heterogeneity and complex association. In this paper, we construct a knowledge service platform, KnowPoetry, based on a domain-specific knowledge graph of Tang poetry to support data-driven research in the field of Tang poetry. We first acquire knowledge service requirements from Tang poetry researchers. Then, we construct domain ontology and propose a human-machine coordinated knowledge extraction framework. The framework extracts and merges entities of poetry, poet and poet experience, and multidimension relations among them from massive Tang poetry data. Finally, we construct a large-scale domain-specific knowledge graph. Based on the knowledge graph, KnowPoetry provides researchers with Tang poetry domain knowledge services including knowledge navigation, association analysis, and semantic query. This platform can support researchers in navigating and discovering the inner relationship between Tang poetry in terms of emotion and imagery, analyzing poet social circle and life experiences, and realizing multidimensional semantic query. In the experiment, we evaluate the effect of domain knowledge service in supporting Tang poetry research.

Abstract:This paper examines the practices of digital humanists in Chinese libraries, with a particular focus on those that have good application results in digital humanities (DH). First, based on research into human databases created by Chinese libraries and analysis of information collected from 152 libraries, we selected three libraries for a case study whose research findings of DH projects have been put into practical application. Next, we collected relevant materials by means of interviews, literature research, network research, and other methods. Finally, the paper identifies some important issues, such as motivations, content, and cooperation, that need to be addressed when analyzing these programs by a case study. Some achievements have been made because of efforts by a number of Chinese libraries to develop DH, but accompanying these achievements are challenges. The paper puts forward the core problems for DH in Chinese public libraries and tries to give a numerical solution scheme that will help to promote the development of DH.

Abstract:Digital humanities is a new field in the data age that introduces computing technology into humanities literature. Many libraries have built digital humanities scholarly commons, but it is rare in China’s libraries. Through literature and website research, digital humanities database construction practice, questionnaires, and interviews with humanities scholars, we explore the path to build digital humanities scholarly commons at Beijing Normal University Library. We constructed an educators’ prosopography database, collected database construction suggestions from humanities scholars, and assessed their willingness to construct a digital humanities commons with us. Combined with the feedback, we found that humanities researchers are interested in digital humanities methods, but they need relevant tools training. Beijing Normal University Library can provide humanities scholars with training workshops on digital humanities concepts, methods, tools, platforms, and database construction, and the library is good at full-cycle data service including data collection, management, storage, and publishing. The library should strengthen data mining, text analysis, and visualization in the digital humanities study, focus on the authority and reliability of data, cooperate with humanities scholars to collect and verify data, and then enhance the library’s influence in the academic community.

Abstract:Based on the concepts of “ancient China studies” and “digital humanities” (DH) in the context of China, this paper first gives a brief review on the development and practice of DH cyberinfrastructure. Under a series of reflections and a brief investigation on ancient Chinese literatures and traditional humanistic activities, this paper puts forward a new DH cyberinfrastructure conceptual model for ancient China studies that can bring people, information, and computational tools together and allow humanistic scholars to perform in a new way and with higher efficiency. On the premise of actual practices to turn a conceptual model into reality, this paper discusses DH cyberinfrastructure and the future of academic libraries.

Abstract:Memory research has become a hot topic in the field of digital humanities (DH). DH methods and tools can help to realize the intellectualization and visualization of urban memory. This paper uses the knowledge map (KM) approach to organize, process, and mine archives and documentation data related to urban memory in order to build a map for the reorganization and reconstruction of urban memory. Thus, it proposes a three-tiered “concept-instance-resource” conceptual model. Furthermore, it takes the Beijing city gates as a case to test the effectiveness of this conceptual model. We believe this study provides a good exploration of the use of DH methods and tools in memory practice.
