Read all the details on our wiki and learn how your institution can participate through June 23. Hyku is a digital content repository that provides robust deposit workflows, standards-based metadata management, convenient collection organization, preservation support, as well as integrated search, discovery, and access capabilities. Pilot Institutions for the HykuDirect pilot program have also been selected, and the pilot is underway. HykuDirect, the fully hosted service version of Hyku repository software, handles all of the server and storage provisioning, all of the Hyku repository software installation, deployment, upgrades, and scaling. There was significant interest in the hosted service pilot program from all types of institutions. With thanks to all the institutions who volunteered, we had far more institutions interested than we could accommodate for a limited term pilot. Six institutions representing many different institution sizes and use cases were selected, and asked to contribute $1,000 each to help cover the cost of the pilot. The following institutions are piloting the HykuDirect service this summer: - Arizona State Library & Archives - Cleveland Public Library - University of Miami - New Hampshire Digital Project - PALCI - St. Lawrence University These institutions are providing valuable feedback to the hosted service team to help ensure a robust and competitive service will be available to all institutions beginning in the fall of 2017. Pricing and subscriptions for the new service will be available in late summer. Eric Williams-Bergen, Director of Digital Initiatives, St. Lawrence University Libraries explained his institution?s interest in participating in the HykuDirect Pilot Program: "As a small liberal arts college, we are excited to join the HykuDirect pilot and to manage our digital assets using a robust and technologically advanced open-source platform. We are also eager to explore the opportunities HykuDirect pilot presents for us to share knowledge and experiences with other partnering institutions.? Hyku and HykuDirect were made possible by a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to fund the Hydra-In-A-Box project led by The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Stanford University, and DuraSpace. Together, and in collaboration with their communities, these organizations extended the existing best-in-class Samvera Community (formerly Project Hydra) codebase to build, bundle, and promote a feature-complete, robust digital repository system. *Stay Up-to-Date On the Latest Hyku and HykuDirect News* Learn more by following us on Twitter and reading the project blog You may already be receiving the Hydra-in-a-Box Update, but if not you can subscribe to receive monthly updates.

Please share to interested colleagues and students. ] Please note that the deadlines for paper submission for IC?ADL 2017 are approaching. Below includes CFP for ICADL 2017 with an updated submission deadline. ---------------------------------- The 19th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2017) November 13 ? 15, 2017 Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand http://www.icadl2017.org THEME: Data, Information, and Knowledge for Digital Lives IMPORTANT DATES (ICADL) June 27, 2017 - Paper Submission Deadline (New Deadline) - Full research papers (oral presentation) - Short practitioner papers (poster presentation) - Short work-in-progress papers (poster presentation) July 31, 2017 ? Workshop Proposal Deadline August 30, 2017 - Notification of Acceptance September 15, 2017 - Camera Ready Copy Deadline November 13-15, 2017 - Conference Date AIMS While the number of digital collections have been increased constantly and in diverse practices, there are some concerns regarding the relevancy and value of the efforts to expand, enhance, and sustain these collections to society at large. These concerns call for discussions and exemplifications of how research efforts and practices on digital libraries improve the quality of human life in all dimensions, such as education, business, socialization, public administration, culture, and humanities. In addition, these questions initiate quest to discover novel methodologies of producing, managing, analyzing, and storing digital collections as well as deliver state-of-the-art services in a complex, connected, and ever-changing environment that matter to our daily lives. Therefore, the theme of ICADL 2017 is ?Data, Information, and Knowledge for Digital Lives? which is open to all opportunities that illustrate how digital libraries, digital collections, and corresponding methods would lead to better lives. The 19th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2017) will be co-located with The 8th Asia-Pacific Conference on Library & Information Education and Practice (A-LIEP) Conference at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand under a collective title ?International Forum on Data, Information, and Knowledge for Digital Lives?. Hosting these conferences together in a heart of Bangkok would bring a diverse group of academic and professional community members from all parts of the world to exchange their cutting-edge knowledge, experience and practices in various relevant issues in digital libraries, and other related fields. TOPICS We welcome research and practitioner papers in all aspects of digital libraries, for instance, - collection development and discovery - data mining and extraction - risk management and quality assurance - digital curation - digital preservation - applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning - performance evaluation - metadata creation and aggregation - semantic web and linked data - non-textual collection management - recommendation system - research data management - digital humanities and digital cultural heritage - service design for digital libraries - user experience design - user interface design - human-computer interaction - information visualization - information retrieval - applications of digital libraries in contexts such as learning, virtual organizations, collaborative task - personal information management and personal digital libraries - user generated content - digital library management and administration - digital library education - digital cultures and digital literacy - intellectual freedom, censorship, misinformation - privacy - intellectual property issues - policy, legal, and ethical concerns for digital libraries - socio-technical aspects of digital libraries - sustainability of digital libraries. In addition to high-quality, original research papers, practitioner and work-in-progress papers discussing issues and future directions of digital libraries and digital collections are also welcome. Submissions that resonate with the conference?s theme are especially welcome. Nonetheless, all topics in digital libraries will be given equal consideration.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Jennifer, You can do this in a couple of ways. You can request one or more workshops from Data Carpentry, who will then take care of locating instructors and helping you as the host prepare for the workshop(s). More about this here: http://www.datacarpentry.org/workshops-host/ Another way to do this is to partner with a Foundation Member of the Carpentries Foundation for a self-organized workshop. More about self-organized workshops here: http://www.datacarpentry.org/self-organized-workshops/. Basically, the host does a lot more organizing work but pays less for the event as a result. There is at least one foundation member in your area - you can contact me off list if you'd like a referral.

We can?t think of a better time to highlight Hyku?s support for a growing number of languages in the application UI. We are up to seven! With English as the starting point, we added Spanish, and soon thereafter Chinese, with the generous contributions of translations provided by native speakers in the Samvera community. Then we got a tip about i18n-tasks . This Ruby gem identifies any missing terms from languages specified in an application?s locale configuration file and then fills in the gaps with values obtained from Google Translate. This simple process makes it amazingly easy to add support for multiple languages. With this enhancement to Hyku, it is now possible to also read the UI in German, French, Italian, and Portuguese. The results have been pretty accurate, though on occasion the Google Translate results are a little off, not perfectly reflecting the nuance of meaning in certain UI terms (e.g., ?home? page is a starting point, not where the ?house? is located :), so a pass for quality control is necessary. We are grateful to those members of our community who have pitched in with corrections as they came across instances of mistranslation. (Keep them coming!) Expanded language support is fundamental for any repository service today that aims to serve a global audience of users. With the power of web services like Google Translate, language barriers can dissolve! -- Carol Minton Morris Communications and Marketing Director DuraSpace duraspace.org 607 592-3135 <(607)%20592-3135> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
