Selector’s Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Student Publication

Students in the Master of Library and Information Science degree program at Valdosta State University who completed the elective course in Humanities Information Services in 2014 produced bibliographies on sub-disciplines of the humanities. These example bibliographies are compiled into the document titled Selector’s Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Student Publication. The student authored sections of the Selector’s Guide focus on narrowly defined humanities areas and contain resources representative of professional organizations, major serials, online indexes and databases, primary sources, classic and contemporary monographs, standard reference works, vetted websites, media, and open access resources. The compilers of this guide offer it as a companion to the document entitled Teaching Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Publication. The Teaching Guide references two tutorials, one on WorldCat and one on the Gale Literary Index. Copies of both tutorials are found in here. The authors of these materials invite professors seeking a guide to the providers and formats of information in the humanities to use the bibliographies therein as a starting point for creating assignments and to use materials from the teaching guide as class exercises, if appropriate

The Baroque Effect: Architecture and Art History in Berlin, 1886-1900

This dissertation explores the rich interplay between architecture and art historical research that emerged in Germany in the final decades of the nineteenth century through the rediscovery of the Baroque. The close connection during these years between the establishment of the Baroque as an independent architectural style within the young field of Kunstwissenschaft, the burgeoning interest in Baroque space and the mechanics of perception in psychological aesthetics, and the appearance of the Baroque in many of the most important architectural projects of the late nineteenth century made the style a flashpoint for far-reaching debates concerning the roles of art history and architecture in a period marked by profound transformations. Focusing on the reception of the Baroque in Berlin, this dissertation examines the important role of the style in attempts by architects to reexamine their discipline in the context of historicism, the unprecedented growth of the metropolis, and the complex and often conflicting array of regional and national conceptions of identity that accompanied the political development of the German Empire. Through a series of case studies documenting the remarkable interplay of art history and architectural practice in Berlin from the mid-1880's to the turn of the twentieth century, the dissertation traces the emergence of the "NeuBarock" ("New Baroque")

History of Philosophy and the Reflective Society

Make believe we are in 2028, attending the 26th World Congress of Philosophy, then the question is: how will philosophers delve into historic texts? Not on paper, but on devices. And each philosophical proposition uttered by any philosopher at any time will not stay on its own. It will instead be co-created by many others. The history of philosophy will be participative, thus contributing to the establishment of a reflective and inclusive society

Die Nachlassbibliothek Carlfriedrich Claus’: Ein Erschließungskonzept unter Berücksichtigung von Werk und Biografie

Der umfangreiche Nachlass des Künstlers und experimentellen Literaten Carlfriedrich Claus, der seit 1999 in den Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz verwaltet, verzeichnet und aufgearbeitet wird, beinhaltet neben Werk, Korrespondenz, Lebensdokumenten und Sammlungen auch seine ca. 7100 Bände zählende Privatbibliothek. Ausgehend von der Erörterung der besonderen Bedeutung der Lektüre und des Buchbesitzes für die Werkgenese und die Werkinterpretation, wird die Katalogisierung des Bibliotheksbestandes begründet und in ihren einzelnen Aspekten diskutiert. Hierbei wird en détail auf die formale, inhaltliche, exemplar- und sammlungsspezifische Erschließung eingegangen. Das Hauptaugenmerk wird auf die Dokumentation sowie den Nachweis der Provenienz gelegt. Desweiteren werden Vorschläge zu einer editorischen – forschenden – Erschließung unterbreitet. Im Ergebnis wird empfohlen, das bisher existierende tabellarische Verzeichnis vollständig zu überarbeiten und zu erweitern. Dieser Schritt soll im Zuge der Implementierung einer bibliothekarischen Online-Datenbank und der Digitalisierung von Exemplaren mit hervorragend unikalem Wert geschehen, damit die Nachlassbibliothek sowohl als Forschungsquelle, als auch als Forschungsinstrument, optimal genutzt werden kann. Das Konzept wird mit Rekurs auf aktuelle Beispiele und Tendenzen in der Erschließung von Nachlassbibliotheken erläutert und begründet.

Data reuse in the social sciences and humanities : project report of the SWITCH Innovation Lab “Repositories & Data Quality”

The underlying data and additional materials in connection with this publication are available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4609834 The code used for data analysis is available at: https://github.com/ZHAW-Services-Research-Data/SWITCH-Innovation-Lab-Repositories-Data-QualityThis report is the result of the SWITCH Innovation Lab “Repositories & Data Quality”, a project that ran from October 2020 until February 2021 as a collaboration between SWITCH and ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. Its aim was to complement previous studies on research data management issues (conducted in part as earlier SWITCH Innovation Labs) and to identify relevant data sources for researchers in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in Switzerland. More particularly, the project focused on the reuse of existing data sets by SSH researchers and the criteria they applied when choosing a suitable data source for their work and research. Some of the steps in this task consisted of finding the locations where valuable data is shared, published and accessed as well as conducting a more specific investigation into data availability, modes of accessibility and aspects related to assessing data quality. For this purpose, the project team designed and carried out an online survey targeted specifically at active SSH researchers in Switzerland. To disseminate the survey questionnaire towards this target audience, mailing lists of several research organizations in these fields were utilized. The survey ran for about 8 weeks until early February 2021 and received responses from 260 participants. Some of the main findings include a generally high number of researchers making use of existing data for their own work. Central data providers such as FORSbase, FSO and the GESIS data archive are the most frequently named sources. Trust in these data sources and sufficient additional materials like documentation and methodologies are key criteria for selecting data for reuse. Some data sources could provide desired data sets but are hardly accessible and reusable for researchers (if at all). This mainly includes administrative data and records of (Swiss) public authorities and offices, as well as historic assets from archives, libraries and museums. Furthermore, qualitative research data like interviews, surveys, questionnaires and observations were often highlighted among valuable yet usually inaccessible data sources. At the same time, the case of qualitative data such as interview recordings and ethnographic fieldnotes illustrate well a certain reusability dilemma. To enable “reusability” of such materials from a legal perspective (i.e. to protect personal identities of research participants), much of sensitive context-related details need to be removed. Yet, it is exactly those details that are necessary to contextualize and reuse these data in a proper way from a qualitative researcher’s point of view. Finally, the list of relevant data sources in the SSH contains a large number of individual studies, data sets and resources. This fact supports the idea to connect and link this data, as repeatedly voiced by survey respondents. This demand presents a particular opportunity for future efforts in this area that directly align with the broad objectives at SWITCH. More specifically, the vision of the SWITCH Research Data Connectome is to interconnect research data from different sources, which contributes to the current development of a knowledge graph. Building on this knowledge base that documents and links metadata to enable a more effective search for and reuse of data, new specialized services could be employed in the future. The results of the SWITCH Innovation Lab “Repositories & Data Quality” project shall help lay the groundwork for such future client-oriented services, by providing more detailed information about the handling and reuse of data in Switzerland
