Show morePresentation at ALA Annual, 2018. Libraries have long participated in cooperative collection development as a strategic way of spending funds and sharing resources. Using established best practices for collaborative collection development as a foundation, this session will describe updated strategies for initiating and assessing simple but effective cooperative collection development projects that increase the number of unique titles that can be shared among libraries with minimal commitment. The strategies are applicable to any library setting. Co-sponsored by RUSA CODES and the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT)

Show moreSuperconducting RF (SRF) cavities made of Nb are an enabling device for future linear accelerators. Recently it has been demonstrated that hot spots in SRF cavities, which diminish performance, are correlated with a high density of defects (etch pits) especially near grain boundaries. For a pit to cause local heating, it is likely that near-surface impurities, e.g. hydrides or oxides are leading to suppressed superconductivity. New probes are needed to measure such complexes. Here we present Raman spectroscopy. Raman is a fast, nonperturbative method that can measure the vibrational modes of Nb-O and Nb-H complexes by inelastic light scattering. These can then be compared to molecular dynamics simulations to identify oxide and hydride phases. The probing depth of Raman is estimated from the skin depth of the 785 nm laser in the bulk Nb ~ 10-20 nm. This is a reasonable fraction of the superconducting penetration depth ~ 45 nm. Simulating manufacturing processes of SRF cavities may shed light on the origins and composition of hot spots, and their relationship with defects in the material. Defects such as pits, whose origins are yet unknown, are found in the hot spots of completed cavities. Raman spectroscopy is used here to identify changes in the surface chemistry after manipulations such as creating artificial pits, exposing the material to chemical etching, or cold-working the material. BCP exposure and cold-working are common to the SRF manufacturing process.

Show moreFrom the paper: The conventional understanding of how elected officials affect the policy agenda is based in arguments that they use symbols and rhetoric to propagate the problem, and that this happens primarily through the traditional media. The arguments presented in this article are largely consistent with this but account for the function of social media. More specifically, and framed by indexing theory, we argue that social media enhances opportunities for policy agenda builders in the U.S. Congress to share information with journalists. Across the key policy issues of 2013, tests for congruence between politicians’ Twitter posts and New York Times articles confirm a connection, particularly for the policy issue areas of the economy, immigration, health care, and marginalized groups. Simultaneous discussion and debate between Democrats and Republicans about a particular policy issue area, however, negatively impacts how the New York Times indexes a particular issue.
Here we provide single Excel file of all the hashtags posted by members of Congress to Twitter during 2013. The file contains three columns: datetime, hashtag, and twitter_username. The datetime indicates when a tweet was posted. The hashtag indicates what hashtag a user posted at that time (tweets may contain multiple tags). Twitter_username is the Twitter handle of the account that posted a tweet with that hashtag at that time. We created a list of member of Congress Twitter accounts by looking up each member and checking with Govtrack.us and congress.gov information. Please cite our paper: Shapiro, M. A. and Hemphill, L. (in press) Agenda Building & Indexing: Does the U.S. Congress Direct New York Times Content through Twitter? Policy & Internet.

Show moreWe present a new approach to measuring political polarization, including a novel algorithm and open source Python code, which leverages Twitter content to produce measures of polarization for both users and hashtags. #Polar scores provide advantages over existing measures because they (1) can be calculated throughout the legislative cycle, (2) allow for easy differentiation between users with similar scores, (3) are chamber-agnostic, and (4) are a generic approach that can be applied beyond the U.S. Congress. #Polar scores leverage available information such as party labels, word frequency, and hashtags to create an accessible, straightforward algorithm for estimating polarity using text. (from the paper: Hemphill, L., Culotta, A., and Heston, M. (forthcoming) #Polar Scores: Measuring partisanship using social media content. Journal of Information Technology & Politics.)
The dataset contains one plain text TSV file with the following information for each of the 55,244 tweets used to develop #Polar scores : tweet_id, created_at, user_id, screen_name, tag, shortid, sex, party, state, chamber, name. The file contains one row per hashtag, and therefore tweets may appear more than once. The Python code for calculating #Polar scores is available here: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.53888

Show moreChaz Evans is the curator of the Video Game Art Gallery (VGA Gallery), a traveling exhibit established in 2013 that displays pieces of art from video games. VGA Gallery’s co-directors, Jonathan Kinkley and Chaz Evans, have a deep passion for sharing these artifacts that provide audiences an invitation to enter into discourse surrounding video games through the presentation of art from or inspired by the game. Evans works closely with the designers of the video games featured in the exhibit to ensure that the art pieces they include reflect the designers’ vision of the game. In the time that they have been displaying their exhibit at different events in Chicago, such as Bit Bash, ACTIVATE, Multiples Art Fair, and INTERPLAY Chicago, Evans says that their gallery has been met with much admiration and curiosity from both gamers and non-gamers. Through the process of curating games, he argues that archives and exhibits not only tell a history of video games, but also contribute to the current and ongoing story of video games and provide instances for further discourse and analysis in understanding the video games media. He describes his future aspiration for VGA Gallery to include installations in interactive spaces that contain playable demos of the games alongside the artwork that together provide a threshold for people to experience and appreciate the game.
