Even More Sunshine: The Role of Open Access & Digital Deposit in Making Government Documents Accessible for Open Educational Resources and Beyond Speakers:

Know Your FSB from your KGB: Researching Soviet/Russian Intelligence in America - session begins at the 1 hour, 1 minute mark Speaker:
In light of 2016’s election-related hacking and the popularity of programs such as ‘The Americans’, the topic of Russian intelligence activity in America is once again prominent in the news and in popular culture. This presentation will offer an overview of the various Soviet intelligence services, their evolution, and their post-Soviet successors, as well as a brief history of their operations in America, down to the present. In addition, tips and guidance on how and where to research this topic, especially how to find Federal Government information, will be provided. This will be an updated version of a presentation given at the NCLA Biennial Conference in October 2017: http://thescholarship.ecu.edu/handle/10342/6426. What Is in Those Compact Shelves? Auditing and Quantifying a Government Documents Collection - session begins at the 2 hour, 30 minute mark Speaker:
In order to properly assess a regional collection’s needs and to prepare for the future, library staff needed to identify baseline data. Over the past six months, Government Information Department staff developed and implemented a Stacks/Collection Audit using open source tools. This presentation will cover the purpose, methodology, resources, implementation, limitations, and outcomes of a stacks/collection audit conducted in a regional FDLP collection at an academic library. Results of the audit included information about the extent of SuDoc stems, locations of needed collection maintenance, and rough estimates of numbers of materials by format and SuDoc stem. The planning and implementation of this project may be useful to other FDLP coordinators who wish to know more about specific parts of their collection, are anticipating a move or shifting project, are preparing for a preservation audit, or are planning a retrospective cataloging project. Additionally, the audit provided data that better describes the Government documents collection to stakeholders, inside and outside the library, through visualizations and reports. Links to the open source tools will be available to attendees who wish to participate in a hands-on manner during the session. |

Using PolicyMap to Access Federal Data - session begins at the 54 minute mark Speaker:
Many librarians are uncomfortable with data and mapping. PolicyMap uses data from both U.S. federal and proprietary sources and makes it easy to visualize. Beginners can quickly georeference points of interest and build maps to guide or support their research. While PolicyMap is a subscription-based service, free trial accounts that turn into limited access accounts are available. If possible, a hands-on component will allow participants to establish trial accounts and test drive this popular mapping application.
