Spotlight Community Call - Friday, August 14th

[Venti, Vanessa]

Please join us for the Spotlight community call this Friday, August 14th! 

We have two exciting demos lined up:

Demo from Harvard Library - Three Harvard Library summer interns, Irmarie Fraticelli-Rodriguez, Leigh Clouse, and Scott St. Louis, from the University of Michigan will present on a pilot project where they contributed items from a Spotlight exhibit to Wikimedia. The project focused on the development of an interface, which allows the user to download images and metadata from the Harvard LibraryCloud API and upload them to the Wikimedia Commons repository. As outputs, the code and workflow documentation are available on GitLab, which any user can follow to replicate this project with their own collections.

Demo from Texas A&M Libraries - Sierra Laddusaw will present on a Texas A&M University Libraries partnership with the Bryan/College Station Public Library System to create a Spotlight scavenger hunt for the 2020 Summer Reading Program. Five maps from the “Maps of Imaginary Places Collection,” held at Cushing Memorial Library & Archives, were chosen for the exhibit. Local community members were invited to visit the Spotlight Exhibit and participate in the scavenger hunt, submit their answers via email, and be entered in a prize drawing. One of the Librarians from the public library created sets of clues that encouraged participants to explore each map to find the answer.
