SUMMARY:W1 WORKSHOP: Navigating Uncertainty Together: A Digital POWRR Reflection Workshop for Digital Preservation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Description: Digital preservation work increasingly takes place under conditions of uncertainty: shifting funding landscapes\, evolving systems\, unclear authority\, and emotional strain. While technical assessment frameworks help institutions evaluate infrastructure and workflows\, they rarely address the human experience of stewardship work—confidence\, safety\, belonging\, and sustainability.\n\n This interactive workshop introduces and applies Navigating Uncertainty\, a human-centered reflection and assessment framework developed by the Digital POWRR team through the Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program. Participants will actively complete the framework for their own professional context and engage in structured peer dialogue using guided reflection prompts.\n\n Rather than producing a formal assessment outcome\, the workshop emphasizes learning through reflection and conversation. Participants are invited to surface insights\, clarify next steps\, and reconnect with a sense of agency and community\, highlighting how shared understanding and connection can be sources of joy even amid uncertainty.\n \nLearning Objectives/Outcomes: By the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to:\n Describe the purpose and structure of the Navigating Uncertainty framework\n Apply the framework to reflect on their own position across multiple domains of digital preservation work\n\n Use structured reflection prompts to support meaningful peer conversation\n Distinguish between individual challenges and structural or institutional constraints\n Identify forms of scaffolding\, support\, or practice that could improve sustainability\n Reflect on how peer connection and shared language can foster resilience and professional joy.\n \n Target audience: This workshop is intended for:\n Digital librarians\, archivists\, curators\, and repository managers\n Practitioners working in small\, mid-sized\, or under-resourced institutions\n Individuals navigating ambiguity around staffing\, systems\, authority\, or funding\n \n Prerequisite knowledge: General familiarity with digital collections or digital preservation work. No prior experience with Digital POWRR or assessment frameworks is required.\n Experience level: Beginner to intermediate (advanced practitioners welcome as well!)\n \n Time Expectation: 2 hours\n \n Tech Requirements:\n Participants bring a laptop\, tablet\, or use provided paper copies of the framework\n \n Proposed Agenda / Outline\n 0:00–0:15 | Welcome & Context Setting\n Introductions and workshop goals\n Brief overview of POWRR and the Peer Assessment Program\n Why the Navigating Uncertainty framework was developed\n Connecting uncertainty\, sustainability\, and joy\n \n 0:15–0:30 | Framework Walkthrough\n Overview of the six domains and navigational levels\n Guidance on using the framework as a compass rather than a checklist\n Emphasis on non-linearity and self-compassion\n \n 0:30–0:55 | Individual Assessment\n Participants complete the Navigating Uncertainty framework for their own context\n Focus on 2–3 domains most relevant to their current work\n Facilitators circulate to answer questions\n \n 0:55–1:30 | Peer Reflection (Pairs or Triads)\n Structured dialogue using selected reflection prompts \n Emphasis on listening\, resonance\, and shared learning\n No expectation to “solve” problems or disclose sensitive details\n \n 1:30–1:50 | Group Synthesis & Shared Themes\n Voluntary sharing of patterns\, insights\, or surprises\n Reflection on how peer conversation shaped understanding\n Optional sharing of practices\, resources\, or forms of support that participants have found helpful in building resilience or sustaining their work\n Discussion of where participants found clarity\, validation\, or renewed energy\n \n 1:50–2:00 | Closing & Feedback\n Brief introduction of an optional\, anonymous feedback worksheet\n Participants invited to share feedback focused primarily on the Navigating Uncertainty framework\, with light reflection on the workshop format\n \n Final takeaways and next steps\n Note on Feedback and Learning: As Navigating Uncertainty is a new and evolving framework\, this workshop also serves as an opportunity for the POWRR team to learn how the tool functions in a live group setting. Participants will be invited to complete a short\, optional\, anonymous worksheet focused primarily on feedback about the assessment instrument: its usefulness\, clarity\, and potential applications in different contexts. No individual assessments will be collected.

SUMMARY:1A PRESENTATION: EPIC Gamification: Applying a Model for Iterative Metadata Improvement
DESCRIPTION:As the bridge that connects users to digitized archival materials\, descriptive metadata is an important tool for resource discovery and access. For this reason\, metadata should be as consistent and accurate as possible\; however\, achieving and measuring quality metadata is no easy feat. In June 2025\, the University of North Texas Libraries' Digital Projects Lab completed digitizing and describing the Rosenberg Library’s Harris and Eliza Kempner collection\, made up of personal and professional materials from one of Galveston’s founding entrepreneurial families\, for the Portal to Texas History. This project is seven years in the making and includes nearly 67\,000 items\, all described by over 50 different editors. Naturally\, quality errors abound -- from typos that were never noticed to outright changes in metadata standards and name authority headings over the years. But how does one handle the analysis and improvement of a collection of this size? In this presentation\, we will discuss a short-term project to iteratively improve metadata quality for the Kempner collection using the model outlined in Tarver et. al (2022) “EPIC: An Iterative Model for Metadata Improvement.” The EPIC model—Evaluate\, Prioritize\, Identify\, Correct—breaks down the formidable process of metadata improvement into smaller\, more easily-handled tasks. Through the use of an “epic” color-coded spreadsheet\, we divided the tasks into tiers that allowed us to "level up" when a section was completed\, providing a rewarding sense of accomplishment with each level completed. This model can be utilized by other institutions in their large digital collections to iteratively improve the quality of metadata and ensure easier access by users.

SUMMARY:1B PRESENTATION: Enhancing ETD Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Vireo Roadmap\n By: Christopher Starcher & Frank Smutniak\n \n As Vireo continues to serve as a core system in established ETD workflows\, the project is entering a phase focused on intentional planning for long-term sustainability. This session focuses on the Vireo roadmap as a strategic tool and framework for ensuring the project remains technically viable\, community-supported\, and adaptable to changing institutional environments.\n \n We will explore how upcoming development priorities are being shaped by future-oriented concerns\, including stack longevity\, reduction of technical debt\, and architectural decisions that make the system easier to maintain\, deploy\, and extend over time. Planned work emphasizes modularity\, clearer separation between core functionality and local customization\, and improved integration patterns that allow Vireo to evolve alongside repository platforms\, identity systems\, and broader research infrastructure without requiring disruptive redesign.\n \n Sustainability is also a governance and community challenge. The roadmap incorporates efforts to make contribution pathways more accessible\, documentation more actionable\, and shared development more predictable. By strengthening testing practices\, release processes\, and extension points\, the project aims to distribute knowledge and effort across institutions rather than concentrating it in a few places.\n \n Attendees will gain insight into how Vireo’s future is being actively designed\, how priorities are selected\, and how technical and organizational sustainability are being treated as first-order goals. The session invites institutions to see themselves not only as users of Vireo\, but as long-term stewards of a shared platform.\n \n Amplifying Student’s Scholarly Output by Registering References\n By: Mark Phillips\n \n Over the past year\, the University of North Texas Libraries has expanded the visibility and impact of graduate student scholarship by integrating Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) into broader scholarly communication and citation networks. This initiative includes assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to ETDs published since 1999 and registering them with Crossref.\n \n Beyond DOI registration\, the Libraries have extracted reference lists from ETDs and deposited those references into the corresponding Crossref records. This step\, which is a common practice for journal articles\, books\, and conference proceedings enables ETDs to participate more fully in global citation infrastructure. By contributing reference data\, UNT makes dissertation scholarship discoverable through tools and services that power “cited by” and “referenced by” features across scholarly databases and open citation systems.\n \n Although ETDs represent significant original research\, relatively few institutions currently register dissertation references with Crossref. UNT’s work helps position graduate research on more equal footing with other forms of scholarly output while also increasing visibility for faculty advisors and committee members whose work is cited within these documents.\n \n his presentation will outline UNT’s end-to-end workflow\, including DOI creation\, large-scale reference extraction from ETDs\, metadata preparation\, and reference deposit to Crossref. We will also discuss how this enriched metadata supports downstream integration with open scholarly knowledge graphs and citation services such as OpenAlex\, as well as lessons learned\, challenges\, and opportunities for other institutions interested in similar efforts.\n \n Co-author: Daniel Alemneh\, Supervisor\, Digital Curation Unit\, University of North Texas Libraries

SUMMARY:1C PRESENTATION: Approaches to Repository Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Accessibility Labyrinth\n By: Michelle McCrary & Rebecca Richie\n \n Embarking on an accessibility audit of our digital collections felt like stepping into a labyrinth full of twists and turns\, unexpected challenges\, and enlightening discoveries. With little prior experience\, we began this journey to align with updated ADA Title II requirements and quickly realized the complexity of the task. We made mistakes\, backtracked\, and revised our approach multiple times\, but each step taught us something new. Along the way\, we developed strategies for assessment\, prioritization\, and staff training. This session offers an honest account of our ongoing work: what we’ve learned so far\, the challenges that shaped our approach\, and the practical steps we’re taking to make our collections more inclusive. Attendees will leave with insights\, encouragement\, and ideas for navigating their own accessibility labyrinth. \n \n This session is suitable for all audiences. The session is structured to be valuable to everyone\, regardless of prior knowledge or experience with the topic.\n \n From Individual Repositories to Collective Action: Addressing ADA Title II in the TDL DSpace Community\n By: Kristi Park\, Xiao Zeng & Susan Hoover\n \n This presentation will provide an overview of the updated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II rule and its implications for digital repositories\, as well as report on work of a Texas Digital Library (TDL) working group charged with developing resources for repository managers using DSpace. \n \n In April 2024\, the U.S. Attorney General signed a final rule addressing the accessibility of digital experiences under Title II of the ADA. The new rule requires state and local governments to ensure that web interfaces and content comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. For most public higher education institutions\, the deadline for compliance is April 2026.\n \n The updated rule has implications both for platforms that libraries use to host digital content -- like the DSpace platform used for TDL’s Digital Repository Hosting service -- and for the content that libraries host in those repositories.\n \n In response\, the TDL DSpace Users Group convened a working group in Fall 2025 to address compliance of the content contained in TDL DSpace repositories\, and charged it with developing a collective plan of action for TDL members. In this presentation members of the working group will report on initial work to develop a content accessibility toolkit for repository managers and to conduct an assessment of current accessibility practice among TDL members. It will also report on planned future work.

SUMMARY:2B BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER: Digital Public Library of American (DPLA)
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Digital Library (TDL) and The Portal to Texas History have partnered to develop the TxHub\, a statewide service that aggregates and normalizes metadata from cultural heritage institutions across Texas and contributes those records to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). Through this collaboration\, Texas institutions are connected to a national discovery platform that now includes more than 53 million records from 44 content and service hubs\, representing thousands of libraries\, archives\, museums\, and other collecting organizations across the United States. This Birds-of-a-Feather session will introduce the TxHub program and the collaborative work behind it\, highlighting how TDL and The Portal support institutions in sharing their digital collections more broadly. The discussion will cover participation models\, technical and metadata considerations\, and the benefits of contributing to both the statewide aggregation and the larger DPLA ecosystem. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions\, share their own experiences with metadata aggregation and digital collection visibility\, and explore practical ways to get involved. We will also discuss how institutions can leverage DPLA’s aggregated metadata for local discovery\, research\, digital scholarship\, and outreach.

SUMMARY:3A PRESENTATION: Finding Delight in Digital Preservation
DESCRIPTION:New Horizons: How APTrust Developed a Community-Centered Technical Roadmap Process for Digital Preservation\n By: Melissa Iori\n \n This presentation will discuss APTrust’s journey in creating a new technical roadmap planning process. APTrust is a consortium based at the University of Virginia\, dedicated to digital preservation and providing preservation storage across multiple geolocations to a variety of academic and non-academic member institutions. In 2025\, our aim was to develop a new technical roadmap planning process driven by direct feedback from our members. Our new process included a comprehensive survey\, focus groups\, and data analysis. We were able to use the analysis from this new\, feedback-driven paradigm to produce a robust technical roadmap organized into software goals\, infrastructure goals\, and security and risk management goals. As Lead Developer at APTrust\, I am excited to share our process and answer questions from the audience about developing a technical roadmap for a digital preservation organization.\n \n Preserving the Scholarly Web: Portable Web Archives for ETDs\n By: Mark Phillips & Lauren Ko\n \n Since 2022\, the University of North Texas Libraries has implemented a new approach to preserving web-based scholarship cited in Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs). As with many institutions\, UNT Libraries serves as the long-term repository for graduate research. For nearly 30 years\, ETDs have included links to web content as part of the scholarly record. However\, link rot and content drift mean that much of this cited material is now unavailable or altered\, weakening the integrity of the research.\n \n To address this growing issue\, UNT Libraries developed a post-submission workflow that creates small\, focused web archives for each ETD. URLs are extracted from submitted documents\, crawled using a local instance of Browsertrix Crawler\, and packaged into the portable WACZ (Web Archive Collection Zipped) format. These web archives are deposited alongside the ETD as supplemental files within the institutional repository. The repository interface signals the presence of archived web content and enables in-browser access through Webrecorder’s ReplayWeb.page.\n \n This presentation introduces the concept of small\, portable web archives as collection supplements\, using UNT’s ETD program as a practical case study. We will share workflow design\, tool choices\, and implementation lessons\, and highlight how similar approaches can help repository managers preserve web-based scholarship and enhance long-term access to locally held research materials.

SUMMARY:5B PANEL: Strengthening Digital Preservation Programs Through Peer Support
DESCRIPTION:As part of its strategic goal to increase its members’ digital preservation readiness\, TDL launched the Peer-Assisted Audit and Assessment program to support two TDL members per year as they assess their digital preservation program in a particular collection\, unit\, or other definable area of work. This panel will highlight the work of the pilot group for this program from UTSA\, TWU and SHSU. The pilot group consisted of a peer guide who had undergone an assessment in the past as well as pilot partners that she led through the NEDCC Peer Assessment materials to help them develop longer-term program goals as well as more immediate strategic objectives with timelines\, stakeholders\, risks and resource allocations. TDL’s liaison also worked with the Guide and Partners to document the overall assessment process so that it is reproducible with new partners each year. The TDL liaison and pilot partners will discuss their experience and refinements they made for the 2026 cohort. \n \n All audiences: Session is structured to be valuable to everyone\, regardless of prior knowledge or experience with the topic.

SUMMARY:5A PRESENTATION: Building Community for Digital Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Hosting the Digital Humanities: A Project-Based Approach\n By: Bryan Tarpley & Kayley Hart\n \n The field of the Digital Humanities (DH) is a big tent that encompasses several disciplines that can be supported by a variety of functions and personnel from within the Library. This presentation explores a digital project-based approach to “doing DH\,” one that focuses on walking faculty and graduate students through the process of creating public-facing engagements with their scholarship from start to finish by leveraging a small team and minimal budget. Drawing from case studies of projects developed at Texas A&M University (TAMU) over the past decade\, the presenters will share how TAMU’s DH model addresses questions of infrastructure\, sustainability\, project management\, and community building\; laying out pitfalls and potential best practices along the way. At the heart of this model is a commitment by library personnel to shoulder much of the burden of writing code\, designing graphics\, and web hosting (particularly in the early stages) with the long-term goal of engendering the skillsets in stakeholders to take on the “technical debt” of their project. This approach structures library staff and the faculty/graduate students they support as collaborators\, fostering a sense of shared ownership of the work and creating a tight-knit\, welcoming community of plucky “DH’ers” willing to take on new challenges together.\n \n Shared Curiosity and Cross-collaboration: Key to expanding Digital Scholarship\n By: Karina Sanchez\, Kiana Fekette & Yi Shan\n \n Building a strong digital scholarship community requires more than tools and technology. It requires passionate and collaborative information providers. When the Perry-Castañeda Library Scholars Lab\, a digital scholarship center\, opened at the University of Texas at Austin\, we recognized that its success depended on bringing together distinct expertise spread across the library. To foster a space where researchers could explore digital methods\, we formed a working group that included subject specialists\, digital scholarship librarians\, and\, importantly\, digital stewardship experts. The cross-departmental team created the Scan Tech Studio. This group’s goal is to support responsible practices\, research innovation\, and creativity.\n \n Over the past three years\, these diverse experts have worked together to connect researchers with digitization\, OCR\, data management\, and digital archiving workflows. The working group has created a space for themselves to learn new digital tools\, create projects\, and support campus researchers by providing small group consultations\, in-class instruction\, and skill-building programming. The team’s playful passion for their subject and their motivation to engage in outreach have led to imaginative collaborations and projects that extend across campus.\n \n This presentation will highlight how our collaborative model\, driven by shared curiosity\, manifold expertise\, and a common interest in outreach\, has fostered meaningful partnerships and supported innovative research. Attendees will learn strategies for building sustainable\, cross‑functional working groups\, workflows\, and programming that spark connection\, encourage experimentation\, and turn individual strengths into united impact.

SUMMARY:6A PRESENTATION: Texas Digital Collections Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Work in Progress: Alpine Restaurant Mapping Project\n By: Betsy Evans Helesic\n \n “What is there to eat around here?” is a common question heard in small-town Alpine\, Texas\, gateway community to the Big Bend of far west Texas and home of Sul Ross State University and the Archives of the Big Bend. This presentation introduces the Alpine Restaurant Mapping Project. The overarching objective for this project is to introduce a digital exhibit of Alpine’s past and present restaurants populated by archival research and crowdsourced data. Other than answering that perpetual question\, this project holds interdisciplinary significance while providing an opportunity to further the ‘town and gown’ connection between Sul Ross State University and City of Alpine.\n \n By bringing together historical data from Alpine’s restaurants into a user-friendly digital space\, we tell the history and present – of our frontier region’s dynamism\, our rural economy\, and the people who come here from all over the world to make a home – and use that data when considering further questions\, such as “What does it mean to run a successful and sustainable restaurant business in a remote and rural area?”\, “What can future restauranteurs learn from the past?”\, And even “How does the university community support the local restaurant community?”\n \n The presentation covers work in progress including a literature review\, the development of the first iteration map(s) using available historical data and open access tools\, processes for crowdsourcing further data\, and next steps. The project is in year one of three of web-hosting at alpinerestaurantmappingproject.org. This project is led by a beginner\; Prerequisite knowledge not required.\n \n Digitization Methods\, Techniques\, and Exploration for a Large and Historical Bible\n By: Christina Kellum & Noah Garcia\n \n The UNT Libraries Digital Projects Lab had the biggest task of digitizing a Low German Lutheran Bible from 1614 from the Patrick Heath Public Library in Boerne\, Texas. This historic Bible provided the team the opportunity to push their equipment limitations\, reimagine an older digitization technique\, and collaborate with other departments and experts. The presentation will give an overview of the project's scope\, breakdown the preliminary work done before the item arrived\, share the ups and downs of working with historical materials\, the full scanning and organization process\, reevaluate what could have been done differently\, and then finally the results of this project\, including the timeline.\n \n Captured Lakes and Landscapes: A Collaborative Effort to Digitize Two Film Collections\n By: Bree'ya Brown\, Marcia McIntosh & Christina Kellum\n \n In July 2025\, University of North Texas Special Collections was awarded a TexTreasures Grant to support the preservation\, digitization\, and access of two hidden\, older acquisitions. Gathered from inside document cases\, these materials included minimally processed coiled film strips coupled with negatives and Super 8 film stored inside shoe and cigar boxes from the Victor Oppenheim Papers. Additionally\, the grant subsidized 4x5 film negatives housed in acid-free\, clamshell boxes from the Bill Woodside Lake Whitney Views Collection. These film elements present unique still and moving images that captured Texas’s natural and architected landscapes\, rivers\, wildlife\, and communities in the 20th century. The Digital Projects Unit lab took part in the digitization process\, including the management systems and the digitization workflows done for both collections. They will explain inventory decisions\, introduce the student team\, and showcase the scanning equipment used in the lab. Additionally\, a discussion of workflows and steps to transition materials back to Special Collection for metadata creation and publishing on The Portal to Texas History digital library. By intentional collaboration between two UNT Libraries divisions\, staff from Special Collections and the Digital Projects Unit worked together to promote the preservation and accessibility of Texas cultural heritage materials. The TexTreasures Grant is provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC). \n \n Beginner Level

SUMMARY:6B PANEL: Building a Culture of Open Data: Insights from Three Years of the TXST Open Datathon
DESCRIPTION:Since its launch in 2024\, the Texas State University Open Datathon has grown from a small pilot into a multi‑campus event that engages students across disciplines in hands‑on data analysis\, open data literacy\, and collaborative problem‑solving. This presentation offers a three‑year retrospective on the Datathon’s development\, tracing its evolution from the inaugural competition to its current expansion across both the San Marcos and Round Rock campuses. Using participation trends\, engagement metrics\, and qualitative student feedback\, we highlight how the event’s structure\, visibility\, and educational impact have matured over time. Across its three iterations\, the Datathon has drawn students from a wide range of majors\, including data science\, engineering\, business\, health\, social sciences\, and the humanities. Pre‑ and post‑event surveys consistently show increased awareness of open data\, greater confidence in navigating public datasets\, and a stronger understanding of ethical data‑sharing practices. Comparing these survey results across all three years reveals clear trends demonstrating the value of hands‑on\, challenge‑based learning for building practical data literacy and broadening student engagement with open science. The session also reflects on the organizational lessons learned as the event scaled\, including managing cross‑campus collaborations\, coordinating space and technology needs\, integrating hybrid participation\, and balancing accessibility with technical depth. We discuss strategies that contributed to steady growth\, effective marketing approaches\, and the importance of strong partnerships with faculty\, information technology services\, the library\, campus organizations\, and local community. Attendees will gain adaptable models\, planning tools\, and effective practices for designing and scaling Datathons or similar open data engagement programs at their own institutions. This proposal provides both a narrative of growth and a practical guide informed by real data and student‑centered insights.

SUMMARY:7B PRESENTATION: Playful Innovation in Digital Projects Workflows
DESCRIPTION:Whittle While You Work: Streamlining Digitization Workflows and Taming Transfers\n By: Kristin Clark\n \n Two years ago\, TWU Libraries began overhauling its thesis and dissertation digitization workflow\, moving from the slow dance of scanning bound volumes to the quickstep of feeder scanning. But why stop there? With each volume literally in our hands for debinding\, we decided it was time to tackle the elephant in the room: unnecessary duplicates that would just become piles of loose paper.\n \n This presentation will walk you through our journey: figuring out what actually counts as a duplicate (spoiler: lots of inventorying!)\, building a collaborative workflow with our cataloging and special collections colleagues\, and—the real plot twist—applying our new process to transferred theses and dissertations. You know the ones: those boxes that appear after a fateful phone call from a campus department saying\, ""Hello! We're cleaning out our conference room and found a lot of theses and dissertations. Would the library take those?"" (The answer is always yes\, followed by mild panic.)\n \n Come learn how we turned chaos into process\, began shrinking our collection\, and made peace with the transferred materials that show up at our door. \n \n Are We the Bots? Exploring Tools to Automate Digital Archiving Tasks\n By: Daniella Flores\, Kristin Law\, Vic Rocha & Elliot Williams\n \n For a decade\, UT San Antonio photographers sought a way to transfer their digital archive to the University Archives. The lead photographer donated burned CDs\, DVDs\, and eventually even a desktop computer with an obsolete asset management system\, 400\,000 images\, keyword metadata\, and the password written on a post-it note.   \n Archivists needed a better way to transfer this rich archive of university history. We wanted one definitive copy—and corresponding metadata—to ingest into our digital preservation workflow\, allowing us to de-accession the duplicate copies.  \n \n Possessing only novice programming skills\, the project team (two archivists\, a metadata librarian\, and a digital asset manager) had the wild idea that we could piece together basic scripts to utilize the API for PhotoShelter\, the current cloud-based digital asset management platform where the collection is stored.  \n \n Through experimentation\, we built a sequence of necessary tasks\, then developed automated tools to optimize the workflow\, utilizing skills we already had and new tools that we could learn.  In other words: we became the bots!  \n \n In this presentation\, we identify the tools employed\, including Open Refine\, Python\, and the PhotoShelter API\, and discuss the expertise each member brought to the project. We explore how we inventoried\, downloaded\, ingested\, and preserved more than 2 Terabytes of born-digital photos. We plan to use this workflow in the future to continue transferring expired assets from the public collection. We hope our presentation will provide other digital librarians with confidence to explore various tools\, programming languages\, and team collaboration in their environments.  \n \n Prerequisite knowledge or experience for attendees: Intermediate: Session is designed for attendees who have a basic understanding of the topic and some prior experience. It will build on core concepts and introduce more complex applications.

SUMMARY:8B LIGHTNING TALKS: Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Multidisciplinary Research Proposal Enhancements through Large Language Models\n By: James Creel\, Daniel Xiao & Ethel Mejia\n \n Following a TAMU Libraries directive to prepare for disruptions posed by emerging Generative AI technologies\, the Office of Scholarly Communications developed a plan to use Scholars@TAMU profiles—supplemented with data on grant funding and other initiatives—as inputs to a Large Language Model (LLM) for identifying serendipitous collaboration opportunities.\n \n Despite growing expectations for forming crosscutting collaborations\, research development units often struggle to proactively form multidisciplinary teams. Research Information Management Systems (RIMS) contain rich\, structured data on faculty expertise\, but are rarely leveraged for systematic researcher matchmaking. Our LLM-supported workflow addresses this gap by integrating RIMS data into a proactive and transparent mechanism for surfacing interdisciplinary connections.\n \n The workflow proceeds in three stages: (1) extracting relevant Scholars@TAMU profiles based on keywords associated with a research opportunity\; (2) submitting profile data and contextual information to an LLM using a tailored prompt to generate potential collaborations and recommended actions\; and (3) curating these outputs for possible dissemination to researchers. The workflow remains experimental\, and key questions remain regarding its robustness\, integrity\, and value for scholarly communications.\n \n We are designing experimental scenarios to evaluate the utility and reliability of this workflow. This includes defining profile sets and query variants\, identifying suitable LLM platforms\, and accounting for the probabilistic nature of LLM outputs through redundant runs. We aim to validate the methodology in partnership with researchers willing to engage with the generated recommendations. In this presentation\, we will share our methodology\, preliminary results\, and any code or related resources.\n \n Building A Removable Media Workstation For Accessing Floppy Disks and More\n By: Rose Goldey\n \n Like most archives and special collections\, Texas State University hold born-digital materials stored on legacy removable media such as CD and DVDs\, external hard drives\, and floppy disks. However\, the institution has historically lacked experience or workflows on how to recover\, reformat\, and access their contents.\n \n This lightning talk describes the development of an air-gapped removable media workstation from initial conversations in early 2024 to a fully-working system in late 2025. Topics included are\; configuring a standalone system outside the institutional network\, establishing basic handling and documentation practices\, and evaluating tools for different media types. The talk highlights early work with optical media\, including CD and DVD ripping\, as well as the challenges encountered when attempting to recover data from floppy disks.\n \n One of the biggest pushes for this removable media workstation was the ability to access floppy disks. Initial work with USB-floppy drives allowed access to the disks\, but showed errors and incomplete data. The solution was the use of a Greaseweazle floppy disk controller to enable flux-level imaging. Rather than presenting this tool as a universal solution\, the talk discusses the ongoing process of refining our born-digital workflows. \n \n The presentation concludes with discussion of future directions\, including expanded digital processing workflows\, continued learning around floppy disk repair and restoration\, and the ongoing development of sustainable\, defensible practices for born-digital archival materials.\n \n Lab Band Digital Debut: Digitizing UNT’s Jazz Sheet Music Library \n By: Steven Sellers & Marcia McIntosh\n \n Since the inception of the University of North Texas’ Jazz Studies program in the late 1940’s\, students and alumni have contributed to its rich musical history in the form of original student arrangements played by the world famous and Grammy nominated “Lab Bands”. Over 75 years later\, the collection of arrangements continues to grow\, currently reaching a staggering eight thousand charts. After years of aspirations to digitize this collection\, in early 2025 an opportunity has presented itself by way of collaboration between the College of Music\, the UNT Music and Digital Libraries\, and the founders of the Sherman Jazz Museum. While the project is still underway\, this lightning talk will discuss the process of the first few phases of the project\, with particular focus aspects like scope\, collaboration\, project management tools\, and creative solutions for digitization challenges encountered while working on such a unique collection.\n \n Bridging the Feedback Gap: Institutional Repository Training for Non-Institutional Repository Staff\n By: Whitney Johnson-Freeman & Viktoriia Savchenko\n \n At the University of North Texas Libraries\, the institutional repository (IR) currently uses...

SUMMARY:8A PRESENTATION: Practical Persistent Identifiers
DESCRIPTION:Piloting a New PID: Exploring Implementation of Research Activity IDs (RAiDs) at UT Austin\n By: Bryan Gee & Michael Shensky\n \n A wide range of persistent identifiers (PIDs) exist for scholarly research\, from DOIs for diverse research outputs\, to ORCIDs for individuals\, to RORs for institutions. Each of these different PID types helps to ensure that research outputs are Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable (FAIR). However\, there has long been an absence of an established and internationally accepted standard PID for research projects that can interoperate with other PIDs to help facilitate linking and centralization of information about related research project elements. To address this gap\, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) has recently developed RAiD (Research Activity Identifier)\, a PID designed to identify\, track\, and share information about research projects and their associated outputs. RAiD is already established in Australia and is now being piloted in the U.S.\, with the University of Texas at Austin participating as a pilot organization. This presentation will provide an overview of RAiD and the current pilot implementation being explored by UT Austin with respect to publication of research data in the Texas Data Repository (TDR). We will also discuss potential challenges to growing the use of RAiDs\, and describe prospects for future expansion of the implementation of this PID.\n \n Integrating Handle.net into Digital Asset Management for Persistent Identifiers\n By: J.J. Bennett\n \n In mature digital repository ecosystems\, persistent identifiers (PIDs) are the connective tissue between storage\, metadata\, and public access. This talk describes our custom deployment of a Handle.net server paired with a Django REST Framework wrapper API\, and how we’re integrating that PID service into our DAMS platform to make identifier assignment reliable\, automatable\, and operationally scalable.\n \n We run a containerized Handle.Net v9.3.1 server in Kubernetes\, alongside a separate Django API pod that provides a stable programmatic interface for the rest of our ecosystem. The Django layer encapsulates Handle administration and handle CRUD operations (create\, update\, delete\, resolve) using a purpose-built Java entrypoint (HandleWrapper) and securely managed server configuration and keys. This approach gives us a clean boundary: Handle remains the authoritative PID store\, while Django provides authentication\, request validation\, auditability\, and a developer-friendly API surface.\n \n A central theme is “batch semantics without batch servers.” Handle itself is optimized for single-handle operations\; large-scale workflows are orchestrated in Django using Celery: ingest pipelines enqueue jobs\, tasks fan out into individual handle operations\, results are tracked per handle\, and retries/throttling protect the service from overload. We’ll show how this design integrates with DAMS components (Fedora6 object storage\, IIIF manifest generation\, Elasticsearch indexing\, and downstream portals)\, enabling consistent PID minting and updates as assets move through ingest\, publication\, and long-term preservation.\n \n The outcome is a PID service that behaves like first-class infrastructure: observable\, testable\, and aligned with modern repository automation patterns—while remaining standards-based and interoperable through Handle.\n \n Some familiarity with the role of persistent identifiers is assumed\; otherwise no preliminary knowledge is necessary. UTL plans to open-source our implementation\; some technical knowledge is necessary to adopt our example but that is not within the scope of this presentation.

SUMMARY:9B PRESENTATION: Supporting Novice Metadata Creators
DESCRIPTION:Making Metadata Input Accessible: Training Volunteers & Practicum Students for the Sherwin Carlquist Project\n By: Samantha Ekberg\n \n At the Botanical Research Institute of Texas\, there is a small team working on the intimidatingly large National Science Foundation grant\, ""Collaborative Research: Advancing the Extended Specimen Network: Curating and Digitizing the Sherwin Carlquist Collection""\; a collection containing nearly 200\,000 archival objects to arrange\, rehouse\, digitize\, upload\, and describe. \n \n Without the volunteers and practicum students dedicating their time and energy to describing these digitized items\, this project would likely go undescribed and inaccessible for years. However\, describing archival objects is often complicated\, and this particular project comes with extra quirks (such as lost field documentation\, difficult to read handwriting\, and linkages to another portal) that required the project team to constantly adapt the training\, workflow documentation\, and quality checking processes to make the activity accessible to anybody who wanted to try. \n \n This presentation will give an overview of the way we currently train our metadata workers and the quality checking process\, as well as describing the adaptations made over time to accommodate and work with both hired practicum students and volunteers. There will also be a detailed look at the current versus the several previous versions of the metadata training and reference documents\, used in training and as working guides for the metadata workers. \n \n We will discuss why and how these changes were made in the documentation\, training\, and quality checking process\; the lessons we've learned and their effect on the rest of the project\; and the joy in making a complicated activity accessible to anyone.\n \n Practical Approaches for Training Student Library Employees in Metadata Creation\n By: Sarah Lynn Fisher\n \n The University of North Texas Libraries Digital Libraries Division employs approximately a dozen students each semester who participate in the description of digital objects for our items in our repositories. Through a thoughtful training approach\, our division has been able to rely upon students to consistently create high-quality metadata for our collections. This provides a sustainable solution to scale our operations beyond the capacity of full-time staff\, while also creating professional development experiences for students from a variety of disciplines. Many of the students start having little to no experience creating metadata or knowledge of the principles of information organization. After many years of refining the process\, we will share our best practices for training novice metadata creators in a manner that emphasizes building knowledge field by field\, allows for iterative refinement over time\, and cultivates syntactical thinking that translates beyond the library domain. The training workflow is supported by clear\, well-documented general metadata input guidelines along with format-specific guidance for common resource types in our digital collections. To support multiple learning types\, this material is presented in one-on-one\, video\, text\, and peer-training formats. Editors begin applying these guidelines by adding or modifying specific fields in collections with existing metadata. And to involve all creators in the quality review process\, we provide instruction on how reviewers can use in-house tools to understand the impact of metadata quality in our repositories. We hope that sharing these workflows will aid other institutions training staff and students to create metadata for digital collections.

SUMMARY:9C PRESENTATION: Scholarly Support in Action
DESCRIPTION:How Libraries can Leverage AI to Help Researchers Find Joy in Research Again\n By: Joshua Been & Millicent Weber\n \n While research should focus on exploration and discovery\, the joy of inquiry is often lost amidst a sea of tedious tasks and technical friction. In this presentation\, we will demonstrate how academic libraries are uniquely positioned to reverse this trend by acting as the bridge between complex AI capabilities and daily researcher workflows. We propose that academic libraries should bolster AI literacy to demystify how AI works\, teach the art of effective prompting\, and design robust workflows that help to automate the tedious parts of research.\n \n We will showcase this model through practical examples across the social sciences\, humanities\, and STEM. Case studies will include automating the tedious data extraction process for evidence synthesis projects and leveraging AI to handle complex OCR tasks\, such as messy handwritten ledgers. We will also show how AI supports data analysis by suggesting methods\, generating Python or R code\, and interpreting results.\n \n This session will demonstrate how empowering users with AI literacy allows them to offload the boring work. It helps them return to the creative and joyful heart of scholarship.\n \n Integrating scholarly communication concepts into liaison librarianship\n By: Colleen Lyon & Casey Ruegger\n \n In the course of their work with departments\, liaison librarians may be asked to speak or answer questions about scholarly communication related topics like open access\, repositories\, copyright\, and OER. While many liaisons are familiar with scholarly communication issues\, they may be unsure of good resources to point their researchers to or how to engage their researchers in these discussions. Many library resources are focused on “skilling up” liaison librarians on scholarly communication topics\, but there seem to be a lack of resources that discuss examples of integrating scholarly communication into liaison work. The presenters will try to fill this gap by talking about the ways they’ve integrated scholarly communication concepts into their liaison work\, and about resources they’ve created to make it easier for others to integrate scholarly communication into their work.

SUMMARY:9A BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER: BattleBots for Repositories: Managing Crawlers in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:As AI-driven harvesting agents—also known as crawlers\, bots\, or spiders—proliferate\, all digital repositories and other high-value content platforms maintained by memory institutions around the world are experiencing serious problems and feeling the strain. Increased and often aggressive crawling has led institutions to respond in a variety of ways: scaling infrastructure to absorb traffic spikes\, playing whack-a-mole with IP ranges and subnets\, and deploying tools to throttle or block unwanted activity. This informal birds-of-a-feather session will bring together TDL systems administrators and staff to share their experiences navigating this evolving landscape. Everyone curious about bots is invited to learn about them\, swap “bot battle” stories\, compare mitigation strategies\, and discuss what’s working (and what isn’t) as we collectively figure out how to defend our repositories—or at least coexist more peacefully with the bots.
