From hannah.ballard at educopia.org Tue Sep 1 10:00:00 2020 From: hannah.ballard at educopia.org (Hannah Ballard) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2020 08:00:00 -0600 Subject: [Rdap] Software Preservation Network (SPN) Welcomes New Members for 2021 and Beyond - Join Us for a Virtual Info Session (9/17) Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, After a successful two-year seed funded period, the Software Preservation Network (SPN) is now welcoming new members for the year 2021 and beyond. By investing $5,000 per year, your organization will join a vibrant community of practice committed to ensuring long-term access to software through community engagement, infrastructure support, and knowledge generation. Since 2016, SPN has united colleagues from design firms, history of computing museums, research data repositories, university libraries, art museums, and the open source software community around critical questions and collaborative solutions to software preservation challenges. In January 2019, SPN launched a two-year seed funded effort to secure SPN as a sustainable, community-owned organization. Over the last two years, SPN has successfully cultivated a healthy community of practice focused on building field-level capacity for long term access and reuse of software. SPN members design and complete research into evolving practice, affiliated projects and working groups identify common needs that allow SPN member organizations to make strategic digital curation decisions, and the nimble SPN staff provides the training and coordination necessary to distribute software preservation skills across a broader set of individuals. As we look to the future, we recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic is presenting unprecedented challenges to organizations and individuals across the information stewardship landscape. The pandemic is also highlighting the critical role that member communities play in organizational resilience and continuing support of the research enterprise. By investing in SPN , your organization will join a network of software preservation professionals that are distributing the risk and lowering the actual cost of the work for any one organization, while simultaneously sharing ownership over the strategic direction of the field and the use of collective resources. If you would like an opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from current SPN members and staff, register for our upcoming virtual information session on September 17 at 12:00 pm ET. In the meantime, for more information on the Software Preservation Network, check out our membership flyer , visit our Get Involved page, or reach out to SPN?s community facilitator, Jess Farrell, at < jess.farrell at educopia.org>.

Visualizing the Future is an IMLS National Forum Grant to develop a literacy-based instructional and research agenda for library and information professionals with the aim to create a community of praxis focused on data visualization. This grant, which has provided funding for meetings for 13 fellows and 3 co-investigators, aims to create a diverse community that will advance data visualization instruction and use beyond hands-on, technology-based tutorials toward a nuanced, critical understanding of visualization as a research product and form of expression. Tune in to learn about: - The goals of the grant - Grant activities and projects, like our resources for new visualization librarians and our instruction modules in progress - Upcoming opportunities to join together as a community interested in visualization in libraries We will plan to leave extensive time for public q&a and discussion. We really want to know what the broader community is thinking and doing around data visualization in libraries.
