Presenter: Melissa Tedone, Conservator, Iowa State University Library Monday-Friday 10 AM-5:30PM -- Tracey-Barry Gallery, 3rd Floor, Bobst Library Exhibition: GoNightclubbing Video Lounge The GoNightclubbing Video Lounge is a multimedia installation curated by Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong that reimagines the original Danceteria Video Lounge, which they designed in 1980. Pioneering the video DJ concept during the height of the punk rock era, Armstrong and Ivers anticipated YouTube, with its mix of seemingly random video clips that somehow make sense to the modern media sensibility. The Video Lounge, which was on the third floor of Danceteria—one of the most important clubs in downtown New York at the time—placed viewers in the familiar coziness of a living room setting, then challenged them with unfamiliar, non-commercial content. The programming is a mix of music performances recorded live by Ivers and Armstrong for their GoNightclubbing archive, the work of ‘70s downtown artists who had just begun exploring video as a form, and a miscellany of found footage that deconstructed accepted media iconography in an ironic way. Revisiting the GoNightclubbing Video Lounge in 2014 puts today’s viewers back on the sofas to watch content, sometimes with strangers, but in a public setting, disconnected from the isolating singularity of their computers. The GoNightclubbing Archive contains over 200 videotapes and was preserved as a joint project between the Fales Library, the Barbara Goldsmith Preservation Department, and the Standby Program. The entire collection is available for viewing at Fales Library by appointment. Visitors from outside the NYU community are welcome, but will need to RSVP at the following form: http://bit.ly/1gPpIx7

Workshop - Humidification and Flattening Techniques for Documents

Ohio Preservation Council Workshop in Cincinnati May 9th, 2014 Humidification and Flattening Techniques for Documents Workshop description: Learn how to safely flatten rolled or folded collection materials so they can be more easily accessed and handled through use of three simple humidification and flattening techniques. The use of gentle humidification allows paper fibers to relax so they can be safely unrolled and manipulated to remove folds and creases. Flattening occurs when the humidified object is dried under tension or restraint. The drying technique presented in this workshop is one that is frequently used by conservators and preservation professionals and requires minimal setup.

Our theme this year is delivering information vs. collection building and we are inviting proposals for fifty minute sessions that address the following topics. 1) Just in Time Acquisitions - An in depth discussion of PDA, DDA, and other programs designed to deliver information to the user on demand rather than provide service using materials previously acquired by the library.

How have electronic resources changed the collection development policy or polices at your library? Is an allocation formula used for part or the library’s materials budget? How are freely available electronic resources included or not in your library’s collection/services? How does your library work with consortia to pursue discounts or find other ways to reduce the cost of electronic resources? 3) Analytics and Assessment of Electronic Resources – We welcome proposals regarding how your library uses data, including but not limited to usage statistics, to determine how to acquire electronic resources. How do you assess the value of your library’s electronic collection to the user? Who manages the assessment process of electronic resources in your library?
