UI Libraries Receives NEH Grant to Increase Access to World-Renowned Sackner Archive

Posted on April 13, 2022April 27, 2022 by Anne Bassett

Special Collections and Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries was awarded a prestigious $350,000 grant supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The funding will be used to make the Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry—the largest collection of its kind in the world—more accessible.

The Sackner Archive currently includes more than 75,000 items documenting the international avant-garde movement of artists and writers who combined words and visual elements to create a new category of artwork. The three-year Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program grant will provide resources for Special Collections and Archives such as a full-time staff member and a part-time graduate student to focus on continuing to organize, catalog, describe, and preserve materials.

“The University Libraries is committed to promoting accessibility to our collections in as many ways as possible to foster teaching, research, and engagement,” says John Culshaw, Jack B. King university librarian. “We are grateful to the NEH for this opportunity because despite the availability of some data created by the Sackners, the archive remains largely hidden due to the enormous amount of work needed to make materials available to the public.”

The Sackner family chose the University Libraries as the home for the archive due to its reputation as a center for the study of Dadaism, with its substantial holdings in the International Dada Archive. The Libraries’ world-class conservation program, the UI’s nationally recognized Center for the Book and Iowa Writers’ Workshop, collections in the Stanley Museum of Art, and location in Iowa City (a UNESCO City of Literature) were also factors influencing their decision.

“We are thrilled the NEH recognized the importance of continuing to expand the Sackner Archive’s reach and are eager to begin these next stages of work,” says Margaret Gamm, director of Special Collections and Archives. “It’s a privilege for us to be home to this world-renowned archive and stewards for students, researchers, and others to discover and use its unique resources.”

You can learn more about the Sackner Archive, which is not open to the public, here. Students, scholars, and the public can make an appointment to view materials by emailing lib-spec@uiowa.edu.

Student Employment Week
Apr 11 2022

Celebrating Our Student Workers

Posted on April 11, 2022April 27, 2022 by Anne Bassett

During National Student Employment Week and every day, we celebrate all of our student workers. They’re critical to nearly every aspect of Libraries’ operations and their service is greatly appreciated.

Eleven members of the Libraries team recently received 2021-2022 scholarships for undergraduate students. Read what receiving a scholarship and working in the Libraries means in their own words.

Jared Bock, a psychology and political science major from Mason City, Iowa, is the recipient
of a UI Libraries Student Employee Scholarship.

“Employment at the Business Library has helped me foster time management skills in addition to honing interpersonal skills that I can take into my future career and endeavors.

I never realized all of the work that goes on behind the scenes at the libraries. All of the daily ins and outs tend to fly under the radar, but there are a lot of people working hard to provide a wide array of resources and services to students.

This scholarship will help make my undergraduate educational goals more attainable and help reduce the long-term financial burden of pursuing a degree.”

Naudya Chhuon, a global health studies major from Des Moines, Iowa, is the recipient
of the Judy and Mike Greer Scholarship in Memory of Mary E. Greer.Naudya Chhuon

“Working at the library taught me efficient listening and communicating while I helped people at the desk and answer any question that came my way. These two skills will benefit me a lot in my future career because I need to ensure people are heard. These are also great social skills for everyday life.

The biggest surprise for me is the amount of material we have in the library. The stacks go on and on and on! There is definitely a book for everything and anything.

This scholarship will help me tremendously. There have been semesters where I almost could not attend because of the lack of funds. That is the main reason why I obtained a job. This scholarship has taken a weight off my shoulder and off my family’s shoulder too. I am forever grateful for the library offering this.”

Sarah Dodd, an English and creative writing/history double major from Mason City, Iowa,
is the recipient of the Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz Libraries Student Employee Scholarship.

“I was surprised by the amount of material in Special Collections and I was surprised how much information students have access to through the resources in the library.

I knew it was a wide variety, but Special Collections has so many unique materials that I never thought I would have encountered as a student doing specific research.

This scholarship will help me greatly by offsetting my last semester of tuition as I prepare for graduate school and the next step of my education.”

Steven Garcia, a computer science and journalism and mass communication major from Ottumwa, Iowa, is the recipient of a Benton Family Music Library Employee Scholarship.

“I would say that one of the main things I’ve learned from working at the Libraries would be how to communicate better. My employment at the Rita Benton Music Library is the first job I’ve ever had, so it has shown me how to report to someone and communicate whatever is necessary. I feel like this is one of the fundamental skills I will need for my future career.

I was surprised by how things work behind the desk; I’ve been going to libraries my whole life, and it’s been a really interesting experience to see the whole process of making sure everything operates efficiently so patrons can get the materials they need.

This award will help go toward my tuition next semester, and anything that remains will be used toward savings for when I graduate.”

Emma Kohlenberg, a theatre arts major from Bloomington, Illinois, is the recipient of
a Benton Family Music Library Employee Scholarship.

“I started working at the Rita Benton Music Library the first semester of my freshman year. As finals approached, something clicked in my brain about how much I like working for the library. It clicked when I realized I genuinely enjoy work that serves other people.

When I returned to the Music Library in the fall after quarantine, I figured out I love the curiosity for knowledge. It took working at the library for me to figure out that what I love is how people are curious and then watching them—helping them—find the answers. Even if I did not know a thing about that topic or, better yet, if I thought I never would know a thing about the topic, I got to see the seeds of someone else figuring it out. 

Knowing how much I love that very specific thing gives me joy and also gives me much more of an idea of what I am meant to do after I graduate.”

Elizabeth Lovell, a sociology major with a track in family and health services from Peoria,
Iowa,
is the recipient of the Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz Libraries Student Employee
Scholarship.

“My work at Hardin Library has taught me many things about libraries! I have gained a lot of experience working with LibGuides, using Excel, and getting to know the library world. I have also gotten to know many of the wonderful librarians at Hardin and learned about their own paths to librarianship. They have all given me advice as I start my own journey.

The thing that surprised me the most was how much support we provide to everyone, not
just students. People come in with all sorts of questions, and those of us who work in a library are ready for anything.

This scholarship will help me immensely. It will let me cut down on the hours I work to pay for school and help me begin paying off my loans. I will have more time to focus on my research, my studies, and applying for graduate school!”

Kelsey Lyons, a biomedical engineering major (pre-med) and a Spanish minor from
Ankeny, Iowa,
is the recipient of the Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz Libraries Student Employee
Scholarship.

“Working at the Lichtenberger Engineering Library has helped me refine my customer service skills. I have learned the importance of asking patrons specific and direct questions to help them find what they are looking for, which will be relevant in conducting patient interviews.

I have been surprised by the extensive library resources. My knowledge of these resources has been an unexpected yet extremely valuable aspect of my undergraduate education, and the connections I’ve made through the library have been an invaluable component to feeling welcomed by the UI community.

This award will help me to pay for medical school applications. I chose to spend many hours volunteering to help marginalized communities in Iowa City, and this award alleviates some of the financial burden I took on as a result.”

Alexis Redshaw, an ethics and public policy major (pre-law) and art history and philosophy
minor from Underwood, Iowa,
is the recipient of the Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz Libraries
Student Employee Scholarship.

“My work at the Hardin Library has helped me to develop important professional skills through the leadership skills I have gained in guiding new employees, as well as becoming more detail-oriented through the work I do with the book collections. I hope to utilize these skills as an attorney through the work I do in guiding clients, as well as preparing cases.

I was not expecting to gain the many friendships I have with my fellow staff members!

This scholarship will help to financially support me in my ongoing journey of becoming an art law attorney.”

Amalia Sandoval, an interdepartmental studies in health sciences major (pre-dentistry)
and global studies minor from Silvis, Illinois,
is the recipient of a UI Libraries Student
Employee Scholarship.

“Working in Special Collections at the Main Library has helped me develop many transferrable skills, including Excel and communication and organizational skills. My job at the library is helping me gain experience and improve the skills that aren’t taught in dental school.

It was super surprising to see all of the different materials and artifacts that have been donated to or collected by Special Collections. I also was surprised to see all of the work that goes into preserving the material and keeping them in the best condition possible.

I am paying for school on my own, so this scholarship relieves some of the stress I have about the high cost of a college education. I work two jobs in order to pay for school, so this scholarship will make it easier and less stressful in the coming semester.”

Graciela Vebi, a microbiology major (pre-med) from Jakarta, Indonesia, is the recipient of
a UI Libraries Student Employee Scholarship.

“Working at the Library has improved my time management skills as well as shaping the work environment that I would thrive in.

As a very indecisive person, working at the library helped me realize that even though directions are nice to follow, autonomy is also nice, especially once you already know what you’re doing.

This scholarship has greatly reduced the financial burden of my higher education as well as providing better opportunities for my little sister to go to a university.”

Abigail Whitford, an ancient civilizations major with medieval studies and museum
studies certificates and an art history minor from Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
is the
recipient of a UI Libraries Student Employee Scholarship.

“Working for the Libraries has taught me endurance. As a student, having the consistency of a student job is invaluable. When student life gets difficult, I can count on my job to be steady. No matter what my semester looks like, I know I will work for the Libraries.

I am surprised by the endless amounts of projects and tasks there are to do! I feel that libraries can be seen as stagnant, but they are always in flux. It is a joy to come into work and discover new things to be improved upon.

This scholarship will allow me to continue my undergraduate studies with confidence. Funding provided to me from the Libraries defrays the cost of loan repayment. I am grateful that I feel so supported by my place of employment.”


ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIPS

The UI Libraries offers four types of scholarships for undergraduate student employees. We are grateful to our donors, including many Libraries staff members, for their generous support for this program.

Student employees at the University Libraries provide critical staffing and services that benefit the entire UI community. Generally, four UI Libraries Student Employee Scholarships of $2,500 each are available each year.

The family of Arthur and Rita Benton established the Benton Family Music Library Student Employee Scholarship, awarded to University Libraries’ student employees who work in the Rita Benton Music Library. Hired in 1952 to catalog music holdings, Rita Benton was head of the Music Library from 1957 until her death in 1980. Later that year, the UI dedicated the Rita Benton Music Library in recognition of her service to the University and her contributions to music librarianship and musicology. Two scholarships of $2,500 are available each year to qualified applicants.

The children of Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz established the Dale M. and Mary Gail Bentz Libraries Student Employee Scholarship in memory of their parents. Dale came to Iowa in 1953 and served the UI Libraries for 36 years. From 1981 until his retirement in 1986, Dale led the organization as University Librarian. Active in his profession, Dale made numerous contributions to the librarianship over his 45-year career. Four scholarships of $2,500 are available each year.

Judy and Mike Greer established the Judy and Mike Greer Scholarship in Memory of Mary E. Greer to honor the memory of Mike’s mother, who worked for 25 years in the Main Library Circulation Department. The scholarship is awarded to University Libraries’ student employees who work in the Main Library. One scholarship of $2,500 is available each year.

NEW: Three Women for Equality: Christine Grant, Peggy Burke, and Bonnie Slatton Fund

Posted on March 28, 2022March 28, 2022 by Anne Bassett

Three trailblazers who led the national effort for gender equality in athletics are being honored through a new fund dedicated to collecting, archiving, and highlighting their achievements and the efforts of other women.

The Three Women for Equality: Christine Grant, Peggy Burke, and Bonnie Slatton Fund is made possible by a generous gift from Lark Birdsong, Iowa’s first women’s basketball coach, and a gift from Grant’s estate. The fund provides support for the Iowa Women’s Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries, which houses a number of collections featuring women’s and girls’ sports, including Grant’s papers. The IWA is one of the few archives of its kind embedded within a higher education academic research library in the United States.

Grant’s many accomplishments include being a key figure in implementing Title IX, the federal law passed in 1972 that requires equal opportunity in sports and education. Burke and Slatton joined Grant in being fierce advocates for that right and each served as president of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. The close friends all made a long-lasting mark on history with their many contributions, which include being mentors and role models for numerous people throughout the university, country, and beyond.

“This is my way to celebrate these three remarkable women, in addition to other brave women, that did the impossible against insurmountable odds—and I hope it inspires others,” says Birdsong. “Christine, Bonnie, and Peggy led a national effort to ensure equal opportunities for women. What we see in intercollegiate athletics today is testimony to their immense effectiveness. And what they created at Iowa is reflected in loyal Hawkeye pride in today’s teams.”

“We are grateful for this opportunity and to Lark for coming to us with the idea,” says John Culshaw, Jack. B. King university librarian. “It’s a testament to the impact Christine, Bonnie, and Peggy had on her and countless others, and now the IWA will be able to shine an even brighter light on women’s and girls’ sports for generations to come.”

“We’re proud of our collections that chronicle the lives and important work of Iowa women,” adds Janet Weaver, curator of the IWA. “This fund will allow us to expand the size and scope of our holdings in this area and engage an even broader audience through programs, exhibits, and online resources.”

You can learn more about the legacy of Grant, Burke, and Slatton here.

Sadly, Grant passed away on Dec. 31, 2021. Birdsong shared a wonderful tribute in The Gazette. You can also read more tributes to Grant here and here.

Love Data Week 2022: The perfect time to remember the importance of data

Posted on February 13, 2022February 17, 2022 by Anne Bassett

We’re celebrating International Love Data Week from February 14 – 18. This year’s theme is “Data for everyone,” and it’s a great time to reflect on the significance of data and how it can help expand research. For instance, how do you care for and share it? And where might you look to find similar data?

“Data” may represent a spectrum of meanings, origins, and uses for each person. Consider the differences and similarities between these data records for environmental PCB research, quantum chemistry, and human rights diplomacy rights diplomacy. For a researcher, the culture of practice in their domain may strongly influence how they care for and share their data, as may funder, publisher and institutional requirements.

Taking good care of data during research and making it available to peers and the wider world expands the impact that research can have. And even if data itself can’t be shared to protect human subjects, creating a record about the data in a repository enables others to find out about it, understand it, submit a request for it through a data use agreement, and cite it when they use it.

The Research Data Services Team at the UI Libraries is here to assist with creating data sharing plans, managing data during research projects, and publishing and preserving research data. In addition, the team collaborates with campus partners to assist with technical and policies compliance, data use agreements, and informatics and data analysis.

An article (Data-Driven Research, page 22) in the Winter 2022 issue of the Libraries’ quarterly publication, Bindings, explores a collaboration between the Iowa Superfund Research Program’s researchers, staff, and students and Data Services. It’s just one example of how a project and individual researchers are making their data available for everyone by utilizing available resources. 

Do you have questions or looking for assistance and ideas? Contact lib-data@uiowa.edu.

What’s New in the Public Domain in 2022?

Posted on January 23, 2022January 23, 2022 by Anne Bassett
COURTESY: THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF PUBLIC DOMAIN AT DUKE LAW SCHOOL

Now, you have even more works—and for the first time, sound recordings—available to be freely digitized, read, and used as the basis for new work.

On Jan. 1, 2022, debut novels by Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, and about 400,000 sound recordings from before 1926 were among the many books, recordings, movies, and other creative works that entered the public domain.

So, why is the public domain important? Permission is no longer needed to copy or use the works, which is an essential opportunity to foster learning, innovation, and the creation of new works. 

Here are some places to check out the newly available creative works from 1926 available in the public domain:

  • Hathi Trust Digital Library – These materials from the Google Books Project have been digitized for years, but as of January 1, the full-text is now available to everyone.
  • Center for the Study of Public Domain – Duke’s Public Domain Day page has some great selected highlights.
  • The Public Domain Review – This journal specializes in mining the public domain.

Interested in finding out more about U.S. copyright law and how to determine a work’s copyright status? The Scholarly Impact Department helps faculty work through complex copyright issues, such as what can be used in the classroom, how to retain your rights as an author, and how to apply Creative Commons licensing. Feel free to send an email to mahrya-burnett@uiowa.edu to set up a consultation. You might also try these excellent copyright resources:

  • Cornell University Library Copyright Information Center – This handy reference chart is great for a quick check on copyright status.
  • Digital Copyright Slider – This Flash-based slider provides copyright status for works, depending on when they were published and whether copyright was renewed.
  • UI Libraries Copyright Guide – This guide provides the basics on copyright issues, such as Fair Use, seeking permissions, author rights, and licensing.

Evidence Synthesis Institute

Posted on October 13, 2021October 13, 2021 by Carolyn Simon

By Kelly Hangauer

In August 2021, I had the opportunity to participate in the Evidence Synthesis Institute. This four-day online institute is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and is a partnership between University of Minnesota, Cornell University, and Carnegie Mellon University. The goal of the institute is to equip librarians who work outside of the health sciences with the tools to provide evidence synthesis support at their institutions.

So what is evidence synthesis? Evidence synthesis (ES) is a broad term that encompasses all types of reviews including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, critical reviews, rapid reviews, mapping reviews, umbrella reviews, etc. The most common reviews, and the ones we focused on the most, are systematic reviews.

Evidence synthesis is an increasingly important aspect of academic research and informs evidence-based practices. While ES is most common in the health sciences, it is also important for social sciences. In my work as a liaison to the College of Education and Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, I have noticed a demand for this type of service among faculty and graduate students.

The Evidence Synthesis Institute was thoughtfully arranged. Not only did we have presentations, breakout rooms, and small group debriefs, but we also had clear objectives and informative videos available through PressBooks. The coordinators of the Institute are all librarian experts with lots of ES experience.

Librarians are perfect partners for ES work and can raise the caliber of an ES project. This is because ES necessitates complex search strategies using Boolean operators, keywords, and Subject Terms; thorough knowledge of databases and indexes; strategies for finding grey literature; and citation management. Librarians can collaborate in a consultation or co-authorship capacity, depending on the level of involvement.

Prior to attending the Institute, I received excellent training from Jen DeBerg at Hardin Library and had built up some experience consulting and co-authoring on ES publications. The Institute reinforced what I had already learned and gave me a greater appreciation for reporting guidelines (such as PRISMA and PRESS), protocol registration, frameworks for extracting concepts (such as PICO, SPICE, and SPIDER), and ensuring the entire search strategy is transparent and reproducible. In fact, one of the biggest takeaways from the Institute is that transparency and reproducibility are extremely important and can best be accomplished by engaging in peer review of search strategies and publishing complete search strategies through institutional repositories or the Open Science Framework.

I am thankful for having had the opportunity to participate in this Institute and would highly recommend it to other librarians who are interested in becoming more involved in ES work.
