PANEL #122 - ARTECA: Connecting Creative Communities

# data[].attributes.subject
PANEL #122 - ARTECA: Connecting Creative Communities

# data[].attributes.body
In our panel, faculty  and students from The University of Texas at Dallas will discuss the creation  of ARTECA, a digital scholarly aggregator where creative communities connect  internationally. A collaboration between MIT Press, Leonardo/ISAST and UT Dallas,  ARTECA is an online portal that supports the creation and dissemination of  digital scholarly materials that explore the intersection of arts, science  and technology. With an expanding collection of more than 200 books and 300  journal issues, ARTECA provides tools for the creation of art and scholarship  that cuts across multiple disciplines of professional practice.

Panelist 1: Roger F. Malina, PhD “Taking Leonardo into 2016”

Malina, who holds the Arts and Technology Distinguished Chair and is director of the ArtSciLab at UT Dallas, is a physicist, astronomer and executive editor of the Leonardo publications at MIT Press. For 25 years, Malina has been involved with the Leonardo organizations, which his father founded in San Francisco and Paris. The organizations strive to promote work that explores the interactions between the arts and sciences, as well as between the arts and new technologies.
In his talk, Malina will discus how ARTECA, which main corpus consists of Leonardo materials, meets the challenges of publishing and archiving in an evolving scholarly communications landscape. He will present the history of Leonardo publishing and how he has used emerging technologies throughout the evolution of the journal (the first to use CD-ROMS, was one of first 100 websites that ever existed, etc.).
Malina will also discuss how the very nature of art/sci/tech research requires that publishers use emerging technologies.

Panelist 2: Cassini Nazir, MFA (and undergraduate design student Lina Moon?) “From Concept to Completion: Designing ARTECA”

Cassini Nazir is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Arts and Technology program at UT Dallas where he teaches classes in interaction design, web design and design principles. His research interests include accessibility, interaction design, user interface and user experience.

Nazir will discuss the process of researching and designing concepts and content curation. He will also discuss how visual design elements can be used as a differentiator when launching digital-only or e-only products.

Panelist 3: Chaz Lilly, PhD student “ARTECA as a Tool for Digital Research and Community Building Platform”

Chaz Lilly, a PhD student in the School of Arts, Technology and Emerging Communication, has received a Society for Scholarly Publishing Fellowship and worked as a researcher for the Alliance for Arts in Research Universities (a2ru). He is researching experimental scholarly communication platforms.

Chaz will discuss how ARTECA deals with contemporary problems in scholarly communications, including:

-citation science/ALTmetrics and reputation management methods

-open access

-capturing grey literature and materials outside traditional means of distribution

-sustainability/data rot/archiving

-peer review systems

-community building tools

ARTECA is currently in “Phase One” of development. Apart from content from MIT, Phase One will eventually include the Creative Disturbance Podcast, an international, multilingual network and platform supporting collaboration among the arts, sciences, and new technologies communities. “Phase Two” will consist of importing existing Leonardo content that is not part of the current MIT Press contract, and piloting programs with potential partners. In Phase Two, ARTECA will also begin to capture “grey literature,” or materials produced outside of traditional distributional channels (conference papers, for example). In Phase Three, we will continue to identify partnering organizations and begin to implement other resources like a preprint server, job board, online textbooks for MOOCs, etc.

POSTER # 150 - Using Twine and Scalar to publish Visual Studies Senior Theses

# data[].attributes.body
The digital scholarship librarian position is new at California College of the Arts. In the first year of the position, I have begun to identify digital scholarship projects in the classroom and in faculty research, promote awareness of the library's new initiative, and build relationships. I have also had the opportunity to work on several discrete projects with a few faculty members.In the spring semester of 2016 I collaborated with professor Kathy Zarur on the Senior Project 2 course, designed to model real-world experiences in the field of Visual Studies. Until this semester, the form for the essay they produce as part of this course has been publication in a print journal; this semester the Visual and Critical Studies Program decided they would like to shift from print to digital, to offer students the affordances of a digital, online publication. Students were given the choice of using either Twine or Scalar. Once their digital essays are complete, the works will be published online, exhibited in an iPad display in the library, and stored in our institutional repository. The poster will share process, project, end result, reflections.

POSTER #110 - Rediscovering Music Published in American Newspapers

# data[].attributes.body
From approximately  1900 to 1920, music publishers like the American Melody Company provided a  syndicated "song service" to newspapers in diverse regions across  the United States. Solo piano pieces, solo songs with piano accompaniment,  and piano reductions of instrumental pieces were rotated among the  subscribing newspapers and published with little commentary other than the  publishing copyright. Many of these compositions and composers were not  published elsewhere. Digital newspaper databases, such as the Library of  Congress' open access Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers,  have the potential to rescue this music from obscurity and allow historians  to explore how the publication of this music contributed to the American popular  and parlor music traditions. This poster will highlight examples of this  music found in newspapers available on Chronicling America and describe a  method for using the Chronicling America API to automatically retrieve and  index musical examples from a database of over 10 million digital newspaper  images.
