sorry my voice so without further ado, to save time we'll we'll take questions at the end of each session, and then the end the overview of state library resources Center services journey Hoover and john Hewitt Thank you. 4 00:07:18.270 --> 00:07:34.560 John Jewitt: morning everybody thanks so much for joining us, my name is john do it and i'm the manager of the social science and history department at the central library of the enoch Pratt library, which is also the state library resource Center and i'm joined by my colleague Jody. 5 00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:37.470 Jodi Hoover: hi i'm Jody Hoover i'm the. 6 00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.660 Jodi Hoover: Digital resources manager at. 7 00:07:39.930 --> 00:07:43.410 Jodi Hoover: A you know free library and state library resource Center. 8 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.850 John Jewitt: And so we're going to talk to you a little bit about. 9 00:07:49.350 --> 00:07:51.360 John Jewitt: The resources that we have at Pratt. 10 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:57.960 John Jewitt: So. 11 00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:18.600 John Jewitt: The Pratt library dates from the 1880s right in in 1882 the library board approved receipt of a donation from enough crap and they use that donation to build a central library this central library on mulberry street. 12 00:08:20.310 --> 00:08:38.520 John Jewitt: And four branches and by the 1930s that library was too small for all the people and too small for all the books, so the city bought the rest of the block and they involve the local architect by the name of clade phrase. 13 00:08:40.470 --> 00:08:51.810 John Jewitt: And this building was built and, and this is, as you see the size of a full city block, there are three subterranean floors as Christmas talking about. 14 00:08:53.070 --> 00:09:08.790 John Jewitt: Prior to the session starting three floors of stacks, there are three public floors and it's a really substantial building with a really substantial collection if you're excited about library architecture. 15 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:19.830 John Jewitt: it's a it would the the architect of record is quite phrase, who, who is the baltimore architect, and he built the building with his son. 16 00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:27.300 John Jewitt: But the consulting architects with tilton and griffin's who built several libraries on this model. 17 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:49.350 John Jewitt: And then, Joseph wheeler, who was the library director at the time, made the library plans available through a la and there are a couple of other libraries, notably Toledo Ohio that used modified versions of these plants so you'll see libraries that look like this, this kind of design. 18 00:09:51.390 --> 00:09:52.440 John Jewitt: All around the country. 19 00:09:53.640 --> 00:10:02.580 John Jewitt: This is the inside of the building this is central Hall, when you come in just completed just kind of five years ago now, I guess, but it feels like just. 20 00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:10.260 John Jewitt: An extensive renovation, to bring the htc and all the library systems up to date. 21 00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:19.170 John Jewitt: The main thing we want you to know is that there are one and three quarter million volumes in this building. 22 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:36.690 John Jewitt: And we want you to have access to those volumes, we want your students to have access to those volumes anybody residing in Maryland could get a public library card for Maryland so we're going to talk to a lot about the collections and services. 23 00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:38.580 John Jewitt: That we have, but the. 24 00:10:40.530 --> 00:10:59.460 John Jewitt: You know, we want you to think of of the State library resource Center as an additional tool and in the 1970s, rather than build a State library Maryland designated because this building this did and it's one and three quarter million volume collection existed. 25 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.200 John Jewitt: Maryland designated the central library of the Pratt system as the state library resource Center. 26 00:11:07.470 --> 00:11:18.420 John Jewitt: So we provide services to public libraries around the state to schools around the state, we provide services already to academic libraries and you know, we want to tell you about, though. 27 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:25.950 John Jewitt: And the place to look so you don't need to be taken, extensive notes obviously there's a recording to but. 28 00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:45.870 John Jewitt: Our website is slow dot info SLC dot info and on the collections services and professional development tab their collections resources services and professional development you're going to find information about everything that we're going to tell you about today. 29 00:11:48.330 --> 00:11:59.760 John Jewitt: So, for instance services tab choose reference by subject there then you're going to get a list of all the different departments, like most urban public libraries were. 30 00:12:00.270 --> 00:12:17.040 John Jewitt: broken up into sub departments, and so we have staff that are arranged by subject specialty, and this is how you your students are going to be best able to connect with us so again that's services and references by subjects. 31 00:12:18.780 --> 00:12:25.860 John Jewitt: And here's the full list right so there's a small business Center business science and technology department. 32 00:12:28.020 --> 00:12:36.480 John Jewitt: social science and history department, which is where I am we're going to talk a lot about special collections, the items that we have that other places don't. 33 00:12:37.020 --> 00:12:47.670 John Jewitt: And those might be things that are certainly things that are of interest to you, but again, this is how you would make that connection, so there are department emails and phone numbers. 34 00:12:49.560 --> 00:13:02.730 John Jewitt: And then, in terms of our collections, this is what the stacks look like, so this is one of those subterranean floors here are some of those one and three quarter million volumes and the. 35 00:13:04.470 --> 00:13:13.830 John Jewitt: Two of these stacks yeah are the full size building, so you can stand on the South wall and look all the way to the north wall. 36 00:13:14.490 --> 00:13:25.860 John Jewitt: The Middle one as the children's Department on one end and the form of periodicals department that's now the facilities office, on the other end as both of those put with armaments used to have separate entrances. 37 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:35.640 John Jewitt: so that you could bring your kids in or come in and read paper, without having to come all through the library so again, as you see. 38 00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:43.830 John Jewitt: Extensive you know extensive print collections and again, these are items that we want to share with you and share with the students. 39 00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:51.840 John Jewitt: And some of those items 100 years of sears catalogues right which I always talk about and think about. 40 00:13:52.530 --> 00:14:00.420 John Jewitt: The research, you could do with those about prices or tools or fashion or way people wore their hair. 41 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:10.200 John Jewitt: Or you could buy a whole house from a sears catalog right, so you can learn a lot about the social and economic development of the country in the last hundred years from a sears catalog. 42 00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:22.770 John Jewitt: We have the papers of hl Mencken with extensive collection of African American funeral programs Maryland high school yearbooks again think about the social history that could do there and. 43 00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:33.090 John Jewitt: we're one of the only collections of circulating 16 millimeter films that we're aware of right, so you can borrow a 16 millimeter film and show it. 44 00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:48.690 John Jewitt: periodicals from the MID 19th century so more than 100 years of long runs of periodicals including some really interesting and exciting things were cooperating collection with the Foundation Center in. 45 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.830 John Jewitt: New York, so we have a grants collection, so if anybody setting up a nonprofit. 46 00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:54.810 John Jewitt: working for a nonprofit helping out. 47 00:14:55.350 --> 00:15:04.920 John Jewitt: A nonprofit or if they're looking for a grant for themselves for a particular piece of work, you can do that using that foundation Center database. 48 00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:17.550 John Jewitt: We have a sheet music collection of songs from the 19th 20th and 21st century is 3500 song books and we have early automotive repair manuals. 49 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:31.440 John Jewitt: So anybody who's interested in the early history of the automobile you know we have those, and these are just some of the more unusual eclectic things right, obviously we have a lot of other interesting things but. 50 00:15:32.670 --> 00:15:39.120 John Jewitt: We want you to have some sense of the breadth and the sort of unusual items that are in collection. 51 00:15:40.950 --> 00:15:50.820 John Jewitt: And so, here are some of those things right is the 1947 CS Christmas book some of the State yearbooks from poly and from Morgan. 52 00:15:52.230 --> 00:16:00.720 John Jewitt: And here, a first day cover from Paul collection right from 1949 commemorating the centennial you pose death. 53 00:16:03.990 --> 00:16:11.040 John Jewitt: And just as an example of a department right the African American Department obviously focuses on African American history and culture. 54 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.810 John Jewitt: ever read a book collection on microfiche. 55 00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:31.980 John Jewitt: A digital collection of photographs of African American life in Maryland and ephemera collection of postcards posters illustrations funeral programs all kinds of things that are sort of beyond the book. 56 00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:42.750 John Jewitt: A series of maps that showcase important historic buildings and other sort of geographical representations of the African American experience. 57 00:16:43.530 --> 00:17:01.500 John Jewitt: microfilm newspapers journals historic books personal and organizational papers and then, as we said funeral programs from the 1960s, to the present, and so, in addition to the reference books, there are all these other things that you can use for additional research. 58 00:17:03.450 --> 00:17:14.100 John Jewitt: Special collections, the same all these different special collections, including cater prints information about how we set with reese's. 59 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:26.460 John Jewitt: books and correspondence and poetry from when she was the Maryland poet laureate and certain will wear a federal depository library, so we have an extensive collection of war posters. 60 00:17:28.110 --> 00:17:31.770 John Jewitt: And i'm going to turn it over to jodi to talk more about some of the other services. 61 00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:41.790 Jodi Hoover: Hello everybody i'm enjoying region go to the next slide and I hope that a lot of you are familiar with digital Maryland. 62 00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:49.260 Jodi Hoover: And some of your institutions might even be digital Maryland partners um but as a refresher. 63 00:17:49.950 --> 00:18:02.460 Jodi Hoover: Digital Maryland is a collaborative statewide digital preservation and presentation project, so we work with libraries, museums historical societies and sometimes private individuals. 64 00:18:03.360 --> 00:18:17.880 Jodi Hoover: To provide access to materials related to the history and culture of Maryland so that's a pretty wide range of things um we currently have over 100 partner organizations that we work with. 65 00:18:19.020 --> 00:18:25.110 Jodi Hoover: And about 142 collections on digital Maryland so. 66 00:18:26.130 --> 00:18:37.950 Jodi Hoover: You know these are from a pretty wide range of organizations, if you haven't been on lately come check us out um next slide. 67 00:18:40.050 --> 00:18:59.100 Jodi Hoover: So some of the things that you could use digital Maryland for obviously a lot of our research resources are good for genealogy and family history, research, but again for your history students historical research primary source materials. 68 00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:05.100 Jodi Hoover: images or presentations and if you're working with faculty definitely. 69 00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:12.570 Jodi Hoover: You know materials for publication potentially materials for exhibitions. 70 00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:28.950 Jodi Hoover: You know it's a really good hub to come and find things and sometimes really unexpected things like there's a huge collection of photographs from a couple of governors like press. 71 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:47.130 Jodi Hoover: Teams so like I was looking for something and came up with all of these beautiful pictures of snow and Garrett county right so don't forget to to use us to find things that you might want to use for all sorts of presentations and publications. 72 00:19:48.570 --> 00:19:49.740 Jodi Hoover: Next slide. 73 00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:53.970 Jodi Hoover: i'm in addition to. 74 00:19:55.260 --> 00:19:59.550 Jodi Hoover: The online presence of digital Maryland we also do a lot of work. 75 00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:17.970 Jodi Hoover: Like we will talk to organizations about digital prison to digital preservation projects that they want to set up, we also do in house scanning so sometimes that is for materials that are going on to digital Maryland. 76 00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:20.280 Jodi Hoover: Sometimes. 77 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:30.180 Jodi Hoover: You know it's stuff that people would have difficulty scanning in House so oversized materials things like that. 78 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:44.280 Jodi Hoover: Digital Maryland does serve as a dp la so digital public library of America service hub, and our records are in world cat so you can find things in a variety of ways that will come back to us. 79 00:20:44.910 --> 00:21:13.110 Jodi Hoover: um one of our big projects that we've been working on is scanning a collection of 1300 black lives matter protest posters and other ephemera that were on the fence that surrounded the Capitol building from summer of 2020 until like January of 21 and we've been able to do these because. 80 00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:19.830 Jodi Hoover: Of the art scanner that you see there so that's getting bed is three feet by six feet and. 81 00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:37.770 Jodi Hoover: It doesn't actually touch the surface, these signs were in pretty rough shape they've been outdoors they would have scratched traditional flatbed scanner glass so being able to use this machine meant that we were able to work with these materials next slide. 82 00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:44.400 Jodi Hoover: This turned into a joint project between digital Maryland. 83 00:21:45.510 --> 00:21:58.590 Jodi Hoover: And DC public library so we're doing the scanning DC public is doing the metadata and then we will share the information with each other and with the. 84 00:21:59.670 --> 00:22:17.700 Jodi Hoover: The Community archivists and activists that preserve the collection in the first place so um there's an upcoming describe a fun event, I think there might be still some slots, if you would like to join us and described some signs, we would appreciate the help. 85 00:22:19.170 --> 00:22:20.820 Jodi Hoover: On slide. 86 00:22:22.050 --> 00:22:28.050 Jodi Hoover: State documents I know everyone's eyes glazed over but stay with me next slide. 87 00:22:29.580 --> 00:22:39.990 Jodi Hoover: So one of the other big slick programs is the state publications depository and distribution program so that. 88 00:22:41.610 --> 00:22:48.450 Jodi Hoover: Initially, that program is two parts, so there's the physical distribution program and we can actually skip ahead. 89 00:22:51.030 --> 00:23:03.000 Jodi Hoover: So there's the physical distribution part of the program that State Agency is send us materials, and then we distribute it out to. 90 00:23:04.350 --> 00:23:21.690 Jodi Hoover: Our our partner institutions so some of you again might be on the list that you receive the state publications the setup for a couple of reasons, one to make sure that we had multiple copies in different spaces and then also. 91 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:32.130 Jodi Hoover: The idea that people from all over the state of Maryland have access to these materials in a way that is easy for them. 92 00:23:33.150 --> 00:23:36.330 Jodi Hoover: We Okay, and then we can just go ahead to the next. 93 00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:51.270 Jodi Hoover: The other part of the arguments program is the online repository so we harvest born digital state documents add them to the online collection about 250 documents, a month. 94 00:23:52.140 --> 00:24:03.870 Jodi Hoover: they're available to search in world cat and and libraries mean catalog if you want to search them along with other materials or obviously directly in the online. 95 00:24:05.310 --> 00:24:19.200 Jodi Hoover: The online repository and we can skip ahead so one of the things that we do the online repository is very contemporary documents so it's stuff that's being published right now. 96 00:24:20.370 --> 00:24:26.070 Jodi Hoover: So, for instance, if you're working with students or faculty who need to be able to pull state documents. 97 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:36.270 Jodi Hoover: will say related to coven, for example, that's The thing that they're going to be able to do and so you're able to click on. 98 00:24:36.810 --> 00:24:47.700 Jodi Hoover: In this case, State Department of Education, you can use the subject terms to narrow down, so it is a really good resource, if you need to find these these types of materials. 99 00:24:51.060 --> 00:24:55.710 Jodi Hoover: All right, sailor database project um we skipped past this. 100 00:24:57.030 --> 00:25:11.820 Jodi Hoover: So the sailor database, these are statewide database contracts, so they are available to all public library card holders and all K through 12 public schools. 101 00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:26.970 Jodi Hoover: And the reason why I wanted to briefly talk about them in this scenario is one you are probably all or should be Maryland public library card holders, so this is not the entire suite of. 102 00:25:27.450 --> 00:25:45.240 Jodi Hoover: databases, but these are available to you through the public live through your local public library, and they are provided as part of the State slurp grant um The other thing that you should know is that if you are working with. 103 00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:59.400 Jodi Hoover: first year students from Maryland particularly Maryland public schools, they most frequently are going to be familiar with with these resources because they're what they would have used in school. 104 00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:05.100 Jodi Hoover: And so, sometimes when students are struggling they end up coming back to the public library. 105 00:26:06.030 --> 00:26:20.520 Jodi Hoover: To find resources that are familiar to them so it's good just to have an understanding of what is available and also your students um are eligible for public library cards so. 106 00:26:20.970 --> 00:26:33.120 Jodi Hoover: If they sign up for public library cards, they will have access to things like peterson's testing career prep and mango languages, so we wanted to talk about that at least a little bit. 107 00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:46.590 Jodi Hoover: You can move on and and so another kind of behind the scenes slick project that you might not realize is us. 108 00:26:48.480 --> 00:27:10.500 Jodi Hoover: Is the Maryland interlibrary loan organization so through slurp in central arm we manage like the software portion of that um and then the delivery courier service for interlibrary loan is actually distributed through several hubs um. 109 00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:24.150 Jodi Hoover: But a couple of things one you know our our collections at central are available through interlibrary loan and we send stuff out all all the time, all over the country. 110 00:27:24.630 --> 00:27:45.510 Jodi Hoover: All throughout Maryland we also do have academic partners in this program generally the academic partners are set up as borrow only so they're borrowing from the various collections and we do help out with some of the trickier oclc world cat requests that they get. 111 00:27:48.000 --> 00:28:03.000 Jodi Hoover: But that also gives them access to the courier system so again, if you have either, if you are part of one of these institutions or, if you have transfer students from one of these institutions, then this is the setup that they had been familiar with. 112 00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:09.030 Jodi Hoover: All right, are you doing yeah. 113 00:28:09.210 --> 00:28:09.840 John Jewitt: yeah yeah. 114 00:28:10.230 --> 00:28:10.830 John Jewitt: So then. 115 00:28:11.370 --> 00:28:12.360 John Jewitt: Finally, the. 116 00:28:14.430 --> 00:28:17.940 John Jewitt: You know, we we run professional conferences to for. 117 00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:28.170 John Jewitt: primarily for public Librarians, but we would certainly love to host academic Librarians both as presenters and attendees. 118 00:28:29.520 --> 00:28:30.120 John Jewitt: So. 119 00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:51.420 John Jewitt: twice a year there's a conference on a general theme this fall it's going to be bi focused there's sailor a resources symposium also coming up where we're going to discuss those sailor databases that God has been talking about and the circulation conference this year. 120 00:28:52.560 --> 00:29:01.020 John Jewitt: Is on Sep tember 28th and that's primarily designed for staff who work in Sir, but obviously there's lots to learn for everybody, so and. 121 00:29:01.530 --> 00:29:12.990 John Jewitt: As you saw the call audibles is open now there's also an annual spring and fall webinar series so that's one of you know, one of our roles as the state library resource Center is to provide. 122 00:29:14.520 --> 00:29:18.540 John Jewitt: professional development share that information with. 123 00:29:20.340 --> 00:29:22.680 John Jewitt: You know, with Librarians throughout Maryland. 124 00:29:27.090 --> 00:29:27.750 Jodi Hoover: And finally. 125 00:29:29.430 --> 00:29:33.750 Jodi Hoover: Come see us we have really great exhibitions that have. 126 00:29:34.950 --> 00:29:55.380 Jodi Hoover: Central on these are three that are set up right now i'm soul of the butterfly is about chicory magazine, which was published by Pratt from 1968 to 1983 featuring poetry by black teens living in baltimore. 127 00:29:56.760 --> 00:30:08.070 Jodi Hoover: So the exhibition talks about the history and the revitalization of the chicory project, but all of the other issues are. 128 00:30:09.300 --> 00:30:28.980 Jodi Hoover: available on digital Maryland so check them out they're amazing, we have a really great exhibition on Edgar Allan poe that's currently up and treasures from the vault which traces the history of books and writing using arm. 129 00:30:30.060 --> 00:30:46.560 Jodi Hoover: materials from our own special collections and it's a spectacular exhibition, you should definitely come look at it and, certainly if you haven't been at central library, since the renovation, the building looks great, and we would love to have you. 130 00:30:48.930 --> 00:30:56.940 John Jewitt: And if you let us know what you come in, we can walk you through on a tour, as we said if there's anything you need if you visit slow dot info and. 131 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:04.740 John Jewitt: Look there you'll find out how to make that connection with us and we're you know super grateful for the opportunity to share this information with. 132 00:31:11.310 --> 00:31:12.480 John Jewitt: You Thank you so much. 133 00:31:14.250 --> 00:31:24.960 Jodi Hoover: I think we have time for some questions now um and we'll definitely be here through the end so if you think of something later on, let us know. 134 00:31:25.770 --> 00:31:26.850 LuAnn Fisher: I have a question. 135 00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:38.820 LuAnn Fisher: We have just i'm at hagerstown Community college and we've just hired an archivist of few years ago and she's created a digital archive for us and is currently. 136 00:31:39.390 --> 00:31:53.400 LuAnn Fisher: digitizing photos and newspaper articles and things collected by various departments your hl Mencken papers and your PO collection, are you digitizing those are they going to be part of digital Maryland. 137 00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:14.790 Jodi Hoover: So there are pretty significant portions of that collection already on digital Maryland um and certainly I i've made the joke, but it's absolutely true that I could spend five years just scanning materials at Pratt and not touch it, let alone materials from the rest of the state. 138 00:32:15.990 --> 00:32:25.140 Jodi Hoover: But yeah no both of those and I think we're just adding some more to PO because we did some scanning for the exhibition. 139 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:41.910 Jodi Hoover: And Mencken has considerable stuff but, again, that will probably keep doing there's a great collection that just went up on of oral history recordings on the history of. 140 00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:53.250 Jodi Hoover: Saving the hl Mencken House and all of the work that various groups did to preserve that property so. 141 00:32:54.540 --> 00:32:54.810 Jodi Hoover: yeah. 142 00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:04.920 LuAnn Fisher: that's great well what if we don't already have digital Maryland on our history, live guide will certainly get it on there it's going to be a wonderful primary document source. 143 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:05.880 Jodi Hoover: For our students. 144 00:33:06.690 --> 00:33:08.910 LuAnn Fisher: it's great to know about this. 145 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:21.660 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Actually, I have a question. 146 00:33:23.190 --> 00:33:30.240 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: If somebody had something in a private collection is there a way to have it, you know evaluated. 147 00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:35.580 Jodi Hoover: Oh that's a john question. 148 00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:39.510 John Jewitt: evaluated. 149 00:33:40.020 --> 00:33:46.500 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: For Canadian for to be possibly added to the collection, is there a person to contact for that that might be to outside. 150 00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:49.290 John Jewitt: The purview to. 151 00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:51.180 Jodi Hoover: Maryland. 152 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.770 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Maryland. 153 00:33:53.520 --> 00:33:54.810 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Collection yeah so. 154 00:33:55.320 --> 00:33:55.830 Jodi Hoover: So I. 155 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:57.000 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Thank you, sorry. 156 00:33:57.510 --> 00:33:58.140 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: No, no. 157 00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:01.020 Jodi Hoover: We get asked a lot to evaluate. 158 00:34:01.050 --> 00:34:19.920 Jodi Hoover: Like coins and books and things and people's collections um which john knows more about than I do, for digital Maryland we do sometimes work with individuals for the project itself um, we are not a collecting entities, so I scan it and give it back. 159 00:34:21.720 --> 00:34:32.370 Jodi Hoover: That being said, Pratt and central library is a collecting entity so then that conversations get get shifted to. 160 00:34:32.970 --> 00:34:48.180 Jodi Hoover: My colleagues and special collections or the Maryland department or the African American Department or wherever it seems like that conversation would be the most appropriate, but it does not have to be part of the collection, in order to be on digital Maryland. 161 00:34:50.700 --> 00:34:51.180 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Thank you. 162 00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:04.800 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: i'll see if anybody else has any additional questions. 163 00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.120 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Well, thank you God Thank you john Thank you so much. 164 00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:18.000 LuAnn Fisher: Yes, thank you. 165 00:35:19.080 --> 00:35:20.670 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: and Chris if you're ready. 166 00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:22.650 Casamassima, Christopher: i'm ready. 167 00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:26.280 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: we'll have you go ahead and share your screen okay. 168 00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:34.110 Casamassima, Christopher: Can everyone see that. 169 00:35:37.140 --> 00:35:39.930 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: So Kristen effort to save time we'll have you introduce yourself. 170 00:35:40.500 --> 00:35:50.250 Casamassima, Christopher: Sure, my name is Christophe cuz i'm I see my work at towson university at cook library and the reserves manager, but just recently I donated. 171 00:35:50.760 --> 00:36:06.330 Casamassima, Christopher: Roughly 6000 volumes of poetry, to the university and we're creating something called the baltimore poetry library, and thank you john and thank you Jody for really highlighting the potential for relationships between. 172 00:36:08.010 --> 00:36:10.770 Casamassima, Christopher: academic and non academic entities. 173 00:36:11.790 --> 00:36:20.970 Casamassima, Christopher: i've worked extensively with arts advocacy and Community advocacy and we spent a lot of time at Pratt central and at waverly. 174 00:36:21.690 --> 00:36:34.560 Casamassima, Christopher: library as well, which is part of Pratt and we've done so much with the kids and with the Community, and I think this is a really great time to share resources, not just with our academic. 175 00:36:35.850 --> 00:36:39.630 Casamassima, Christopher: Community but also with our the citizens of baltimore and Maryland. 176 00:36:41.160 --> 00:36:51.540 Casamassima, Christopher: So I want to thank God and john again for for helping us see the potential there and I just want to say Jody was a really important. 177 00:36:52.560 --> 00:37:06.150 Casamassima, Christopher: player in in my own experience as a publisher because she is an illustrator any printmaker and she created so many wonderful covers for furniture press books which I run and publish. 178 00:37:06.990 --> 00:37:16.830 Casamassima, Christopher: So there's a wonderful and serendipitous relationship happening right here, currently, and on the same screen so i'm So whoever put this together is a genius. 179 00:37:18.630 --> 00:37:23.610 Casamassima, Christopher: i'm going to read from a transcript which I think Jen is going to send to everyone. 180 00:37:25.170 --> 00:37:42.870 Casamassima, Christopher: And this talk is called special collections living collections political collaborations among departments and colleges, so what i'm hoping to do over the course of you know that the rest of my time my career at Thompson is to look at poetry. 181 00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:50.760 Casamassima, Christopher: In the light of other departments and colleges on campus and look for opportunities for collaborations. 182 00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:55.650 Casamassima, Christopher: that are both empirical and artistic at the same time. 183 00:37:56.790 --> 00:38:11.880 Casamassima, Christopher: So I will read this and i'm going to show you some pictures from past events and from the various iterations of the library, and you can watch that, and this is virtually a narrative not so much a talk, so please enjoy these photos. 184 00:38:15.510 --> 00:38:29.310 Casamassima, Christopher: Speaking of his own work, the poet Robert Duncan said I make poetry, as others make war or make love or make states or revolutions to exercise my faculties at large. 185 00:38:30.630 --> 00:38:41.130 Casamassima, Christopher: If you stop to think about this word poetry, you might imagine the solitary reader rummaging through fat books and verse searching for that perfect a for ISM. 186 00:38:41.640 --> 00:38:50.910 Casamassima, Christopher: or SLIM lines broken by Ryan and jammed by mood or perhaps shaped in those skinny rectangles we all immediately recognize as poetry. 187 00:38:52.110 --> 00:38:57.870 Casamassima, Christopher: Maybe it's all just flowery language similes and metaphors meteor or unmetered verse. 188 00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:10.680 Casamassima, Christopher: But this is poetry and it's manifestly superficial essence caught up in looks and sounds what we fail to imagine is the actual root of this beautiful but useful arts. 189 00:39:11.460 --> 00:39:25.200 Casamassima, Christopher: Which is similar in look that deceiving in principle point he says, which means generally the process of making production creation or creativity and culture. 190 00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:47.370 Casamassima, Christopher: To take duncan's use of exercising the faculties, plus the work of making a production creation is to form the foundation of our generative and expansive notion of culture, something living something in flux purposeful purpose for me is the heart of poetry. 191 00:39:48.660 --> 00:39:53.220 Casamassima, Christopher: When I was very young, I thought, a library was a place where books went to die. 192 00:39:54.240 --> 00:40:01.710 Casamassima, Christopher: No one in my family immediate or extended owned or read books, not even magazines or newspapers. 193 00:40:03.210 --> 00:40:06.030 Casamassima, Christopher: Those books were an anomaly to me a stranger. 194 00:40:07.110 --> 00:40:17.220 Casamassima, Christopher: In the Fifth grade Mr parisi asked me to submit a story to a local competition, after hearing me wax poetic to my friends, making up rhyming jokes on the spot. 195 00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:26.820 Casamassima, Christopher: It placed first out of thousands of entries I like to think, which was a surprise to me because I had no idea what I was doing. 196 00:40:28.050 --> 00:40:38.730 Casamassima, Christopher: But there after my teachers and trusted me with the word asking me to read or recite my stories and poems in class virtually inflating my ego to Shakespearean proportions. 197 00:40:40.080 --> 00:40:49.890 Casamassima, Christopher: It is explicitly this inflation of ego which gives me the audacity to suggest that poetry has more than just its life on the page or in the year. 198 00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:58.170 Casamassima, Christopher: And that the ideation and crafting composing and the debating over the criticism, the controversies and collaborations of poetry. 199 00:40:58.530 --> 00:41:15.180 Casamassima, Christopher: Have the unique ability to bring varied and sometimes disparate ways of thinking and doing together to form possibilities of intermedia between disciplines and academic departments, this is an introduction to the baltimore poetry library at towson university. 200 00:41:17.070 --> 00:41:23.760 Casamassima, Christopher: After various iterations that first the towson arts collective where the collection kept at about 150 titles. 201 00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:30.960 Casamassima, Christopher: Then it lit more in baltimore city where we breached 1000 titles after a big donation from a local author. 202 00:41:31.770 --> 00:41:51.180 Casamassima, Christopher: Then it my co conspirator Douglas mowbray's office, where it lay dormant while we looked for a new home for the quickly growing collection, then at the University of baltimore where it reached national acclaim I decided to donate the roughly 6000 volumes of these titles to towson university. 203 00:41:52.710 --> 00:42:04.110 Casamassima, Christopher: It is made up of single author collections anthologies poetics and criticism is also made up of handmade checkbooks and ephemera objects illustrated broadsides. 204 00:42:04.950 --> 00:42:15.900 Casamassima, Christopher: it's even made up of baseball cards and flip books hand printed and painted inky nebula that defy categorization including a small book with a birch bark cover. 205 00:42:17.850 --> 00:42:20.610 Casamassima, Christopher: let's get back to exercising those faculties. 206 00:42:21.720 --> 00:42:28.980 Casamassima, Christopher: The title of my talk is special collections living collections political collaborations among departments in colleges. 207 00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:43.260 Casamassima, Christopher: The simple question is, what is the efficacy of interdisciplinary studies which leads us to the why why study and research traditional disciplines in an untraditional poetic manner. 208 00:42:44.610 --> 00:42:55.860 Casamassima, Christopher: I will use the problem areas of racism climate destabilization and psychotherapy to elucidate the obvious connections between traditional disciplines of study and their political resonances. 209 00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:07.230 Casamassima, Christopher: citizen and American lyric is a 2014 book length palm and a series of lyric essays by American poet Claudia rankin. 210 00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:19.290 Casamassima, Christopher: Citizens stretches the conventions of traditional lyric poetry by interweaving several forms of text and media into a collective portrait of racial relations in the United States. 211 00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:27.660 Casamassima, Christopher: In her critique of racism and visibility ranking details the quotidian micro aggressions African Americans face. 212 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:37.350 Casamassima, Christopher: discusses controversial incidents such as the backlash against tennis player serena Williams and inquires about the ramifications of the shootings. 213 00:43:38.010 --> 00:43:50.850 Casamassima, Christopher: Of trayvon Martin and James Craig Anderson she intersperses her writing with images of various paintings drawings and sculptures and other digital media to render visible the black experience. 214 00:43:52.110 --> 00:44:00.240 Casamassima, Christopher: Here poetry humanizes the plight of oppressed and unfairly treated peoples in a voice that is characteristically expansive. 215 00:44:01.110 --> 00:44:11.190 Casamassima, Christopher: Imagine the potential of race studies critical race theory historical biases and how they play out in our daily lives, using an approach that is poetical. 216 00:44:12.060 --> 00:44:30.450 Casamassima, Christopher: In other words, this is how I see it, coupled with a rigorous empirical research using comparative disciplines like sociology or criminology when philosophy, to produce a new kind of research and you kind of saying that quits the individual consciousness back into the Academy. 217 00:44:31.980 --> 00:44:33.510 Casamassima, Christopher: Your personal experience. 218 00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:55.650 Casamassima, Christopher: and turning to climate change, climate catastrophes, there are a number of writers, who practice ECO poetics poets poetry aspires to reveal the world for what it is ECO poetics reaffirms the world and its complexity and proposes an engagement with or attunement to an original world. 219 00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:07.770 Casamassima, Christopher: One dynamic and rich and devise a continuum of interrelations an overlooked or Miss World rarely registered in our everyday natural our attitude. 220 00:45:09.630 --> 00:45:26.490 Casamassima, Christopher: As a discipline poetry is vigorous imaginative and alternative it opens up clearings and our mental conception of the world, providing us with new paths of investigation and it makes available other possible worlds, so those commonly offered to our understanding. 221 00:45:28.410 --> 00:45:43.740 Casamassima, Christopher: Eco poetic ECO poetics extends this art form poetry, with the intention of for grounding and investigation into ecology as a discipline ECO poetics investigates how the human is situated within its habitat. 222 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:55.260 Casamassima, Christopher: How home is defined and built where or whether borders exists between body and world human and other states and place. 223 00:45:56.310 --> 00:46:06.120 Casamassima, Christopher: And how sense activities physical presences memory and moments of thinking locate and assist the human desire to navigate the self in the world. 224 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:13.830 Casamassima, Christopher: Eco poetics versus contributes to this project of resistance to dominate cultural modes of thinking. 225 00:46:16.470 --> 00:46:26.250 Casamassima, Christopher: Like psycho analysis poetry as possible, because of the nature of verbal language, particularly its potentials to evoke the sensations of lived experience. 226 00:46:27.540 --> 00:46:36.840 Casamassima, Christopher: These potentials are vestiges of the personal relational context in which languages learned, without which there would be no poetry, and no psycho analysis. 227 00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:45.090 Casamassima, Christopher: To further that elaboration of home might be presented to illustrate the senatorial and then, but just the potential of words. 228 00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:59.010 Casamassima, Christopher: After which the interpersonal processes of language development are explored in an attempt to elucidate the original nature of words as imbued with personal meaning and body resonance and emotion. 229 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:16.920 Casamassima, Christopher: This view of language and the verbal form allows a fuller understanding of the therapeutic processes of speech and conversation at the heart of psychoanalysis, including the relational potentials of speech between present individuals, which are beyond the reach of poetry. 230 00:47:18.450 --> 00:47:33.030 Casamassima, Christopher: In one sense, the work of the analyst is to create language that mobilizes the experiential memorial and relational potentials of words and it's so doing, to make a poet out of the patients, so that she can create such language. 231 00:47:36.180 --> 00:47:42.030 Casamassima, Christopher: The examples above amelie starting points for an interdisciplinary approach to academics. 232 00:47:43.140 --> 00:47:52.860 Casamassima, Christopher: But i've yet to approach is the academic libraries function as the locus of possibilities between not literary not arts departments and poetics. 233 00:47:54.900 --> 00:47:57.540 Casamassima, Christopher: The question is why the library. 234 00:47:58.860 --> 00:48:10.710 Casamassima, Christopher: Simply put, the library is a repository par excellence, not a Muslim, but a living museum of fine double usable interpreted materials. 235 00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:23.580 Casamassima, Christopher: In the spring of 2023 cook library will unveil its newest collection the baltimore poetry library spending 6000 titles in various media and complexities of presentation. 236 00:48:26.310 --> 00:48:36.810 Casamassima, Christopher: Housing it in one space will allow the towson academic community and its partners to exist and work in collaboration, without the limitations of department walls. 237 00:48:38.130 --> 00:48:47.400 Casamassima, Christopher: In my own vision of the baltimore poetry library I dream of the limitless of the limitless this of cooperation between minds and bodies. 238 00:48:49.050 --> 00:49:06.090 Casamassima, Christopher: Imagine students in the languages department studying the history history of regional poetics and poetry is employing their peers in the history department to work on best research and evaluation practices ethnography and perhaps studying regional dialects and unknown writers. 239 00:49:07.950 --> 00:49:25.020 Casamassima, Christopher: mentioned students in the music department setting poems to scores for jazz vocalist or longer serial poems like Omar epps by Derek walcott as libretto is for orchestral pieces or even using experimental sound poetry to accompany instruments in the avant garde tradition. 240 00:49:27.030 --> 00:49:34.680 Casamassima, Christopher: imagined students in psychotherapy and counseling utilizing poetry workshops as writing therapies for their clinical and pre MED studies. 241 00:49:36.690 --> 00:49:43.110 Casamassima, Christopher: mentioned students in Ai developing technologies were in computers learn how to compose and recite poetry. 242 00:49:46.080 --> 00:49:57.600 Casamassima, Christopher: Imagine students in the art department illustrating poems and works by students in the English department and laying out in hand, making book designs to encompass those works of these budding writers. 243 00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:07.170 Casamassima, Christopher: One of the most rewarding experience in my life was organizing the it takes a village workshop in baltimore city. 244 00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:15.780 Casamassima, Christopher: partnering with the village learning plates an independent library that cater to school children and its neighbors and Charles village area. 245 00:50:16.650 --> 00:50:23.490 Casamassima, Christopher: We developed a writing program that showed young boys and girls, how to compose and write poems edit them to perfection. 246 00:50:24.180 --> 00:50:33.900 Casamassima, Christopher: lay them out with the help of a book design software then publish their works in an anthology which they read from and gifted the Community at a book release and signing party. 247 00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:45.060 Casamassima, Christopher: Here, from start to finish, was a chance to empower the children to say in their own way in their own time this is how I see the world. 248 00:50:46.830 --> 00:50:54.630 Casamassima, Christopher: Ultimately, I see the library as an incubator a place where people from many different backgrounds and disciplines. 249 00:50:54.990 --> 00:51:08.490 Casamassima, Christopher: And dialectical communities and nations and affiliations come together to share how they see the world and how to see each other as equals as poetical partners and the struggles and joys of everyday life. 250 00:51:10.170 --> 00:51:30.150 Casamassima, Christopher: Voices the process of making a new have seen a new enough unmaking the old biases and prejudices that keep us moving backwards blind and dumb and depth to each other, the library, the Center the heart of all poetry's incubator and liberated. 251 00:51:32.700 --> 00:51:34.380 Casamassima, Christopher: That is my talk. 252 00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:35.970 Casamassima, Christopher: and 253 00:51:37.380 --> 00:51:56.700 Casamassima, Christopher: I would now like to open it to questions, not just for me and the poetry library, but also considering a relationship between outside organizations like you know central especially so thank you john and john and Jody and i'm happy to open it to questions now. 254 00:52:04.140 --> 00:52:08.010 Jodi Hoover: I don't know if we're allowed to just jump in but um please God. 255 00:52:08.550 --> 00:52:09.240 and 256 00:52:10.470 --> 00:52:11.160 Jodi Hoover: So. 257 00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:18.930 Jodi Hoover: When you are going through the pictures Oh, I should say i'm very excited to see the waverly branch um. 258 00:52:18.990 --> 00:52:42.090 Jodi Hoover: yeah the collaborations yay but also how will the collection be housed at Thompson um is it that similar setup with the the couches and it's kind of more informal or is it going to be like more formal library setup or has not been decided, as of yet. 259 00:52:43.830 --> 00:52:44.970 Casamassima, Christopher: But I understand. 260 00:52:45.060 --> 00:52:58.530 Casamassima, Christopher: And you know things in this library, especially change day by day, especially with construction happening at the moment we have a room a really beautiful room designated for the collection, so it will be in one space. 261 00:52:59.550 --> 00:53:19.080 Casamassima, Christopher: With the walls, encompassing the collection and i'm not sure if we'll have a Community table like a giant table in the middle, perhaps couches we're not quite sure yet, but the entire collection will be in one place, and I hope that will determine the. 262 00:53:21.420 --> 00:53:29.880 Casamassima, Christopher: dynamic of the the furniture and the way people existing use the space and maybe somebody else from the library can can answer that question better for me. 263 00:53:32.940 --> 00:53:37.590 Suzanna Yaukey: I put something in the chat and Susanna yaki here we have. 264 00:53:39.030 --> 00:53:53.700 Suzanna Yaukey: Flexible furniture that's going to go into the space that you can configure Community table, and you can gather around it, or you can arrange private study areas and they'll also be some soft seating we're talking about getting various types of lighting to. 265 00:53:55.560 --> 00:54:05.220 Suzanna Yaukey: One of the things we have some furniture, that we will be using but it's it's a donor priority for next year to try to find someone to donate better furniture and. 266 00:54:06.300 --> 00:54:17.250 Suzanna Yaukey: You know, help us configure the room, the best that we can, so we do have existing furniture will be using but over the long term i'd like to work with donors to try to make this space truly unique and much more special. 267 00:54:18.540 --> 00:54:27.840 Jodi Hoover: I think that's really exciting, I mean i've had the opportunity to see this collection in several iterations and definitely the space, I think. 268 00:54:30.120 --> 00:54:36.480 Jodi Hoover: It does so much it changes so much how people interact with it so that's really exciting to hear. 269 00:54:43.650 --> 00:54:45.900 Casamassima, Christopher: God, I suppose I have a question for you. 270 00:54:46.260 --> 00:54:47.310 Casamassima, Christopher: And for john. 271 00:54:49.440 --> 00:55:06.420 Casamassima, Christopher: How do you imagine this space and this collection, which also includes a lot of baltimore city and baltimore Maryland writers um, how do you see that kind of collaboration happening between our library and yours. 272 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:15.870 Jodi Hoover: And john may have have a little more, from my perspective, you know. 273 00:55:17.550 --> 00:55:29.220 Jodi Hoover: Seeing the ways, like the chicory exhibition was a really great example of being able to digitize something from our collection. 274 00:55:29.850 --> 00:55:39.360 Jodi Hoover: um to make it available, and then there was there's actually a professor named Dr Mary Rizzo from rutgers who had done a lot of research on the collection. 275 00:55:40.110 --> 00:56:01.080 Jodi Hoover: That then came back to us with this exhibition idea and working with students and working with local baltimore students um that then turned into being able to to potentially like revitalize and continue publishing this poetry is in, and so. 276 00:56:02.490 --> 00:56:09.540 Jodi Hoover: Just sort of like following those connections with programming and pulling in different. 277 00:56:10.980 --> 00:56:15.270 Jodi Hoover: types of people in different communities um. 278 00:56:16.950 --> 00:56:18.960 Jodi Hoover: is really fascinating to me. 279 00:56:20.460 --> 00:56:29.640 Jodi Hoover: So I don't know it's like following threads like like you just you just keep asking um and you will you will find your people. 280 00:56:30.930 --> 00:56:32.670 Casamassima, Christopher: it's I imagine it happens, once you just. 281 00:56:32.670 --> 00:56:35.370 Casamassima, Christopher: throw something out there and see what what catches. 282 00:56:36.090 --> 00:56:38.340 Jodi Hoover: And more formal approach. 283 00:56:38.910 --> 00:56:39.990 Casamassima, Christopher: Of course, of course. 284 00:56:40.770 --> 00:56:53.280 John Jewitt: And having a collection like that to that perhaps you know people like if if we are working on republishing chicory and we all work together in a set of people to. 285 00:56:54.540 --> 00:56:56.010 John Jewitt: write their own poetry. 286 00:56:57.030 --> 00:57:06.390 John Jewitt: Then given them access to a collection of examples and walking them through all the different ways, those can be prepared and presented and published. 287 00:57:07.170 --> 00:57:19.980 John Jewitt: has to be you know both as sort of inspiration and as an example of a final product, I think he's really kind of interesting and powerful right and having that be on the doorstep is is really important. 288 00:57:22.650 --> 00:57:27.990 Casamassima, Christopher: And it's easily accessible accessible to all of our patrons and all of our communities. 289 00:57:31.140 --> 00:57:31.710 John Jewitt: Absolutely. 290 00:57:37.830 --> 00:57:43.680 Jodi Hoover: yeah and I think just remembering that, like none of us are operating in a vacuum right like. 291 00:57:45.720 --> 00:57:53.640 Jodi Hoover: You know what one institution struggles with doing on their own like if we work together and work. 292 00:57:55.710 --> 00:58:07.170 Jodi Hoover: More collaboratively um you know we can we can do more things which was a really you know that work has has always been present, but. 293 00:58:08.430 --> 00:58:11.160 Jodi Hoover: I think spending a couple years being kind of isolated. 294 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:16.320 Jodi Hoover: Really really made it a parent like how much those connections matter. 295 00:58:17.790 --> 00:58:31.920 Casamassima, Christopher: I agree this collection came here in January of 2020 and has been in boxes, since so it's only recently that we started cataloging and pulling them out of there too. 296 00:58:33.930 --> 00:58:40.290 Casamassima, Christopher: And yeah it's really great to actually see them, you know in light and it's it's happening it's really happening. 297 00:58:43.260 --> 00:58:52.740 Casamassima, Christopher: By the way, anybody who is interested in poetry, or at least you know, looking at really cool examples of handmade books hand printed books broadsides. 298 00:58:52.740 --> 00:58:55.080 Casamassima, Christopher: ephemeral we have all kinds of weird stuff. 299 00:58:55.530 --> 00:59:02.040 Casamassima, Christopher: And i'm serious when I say we have a baseball cards, we have poetry baseball cards which are a lot of fun to hold in your hand. 300 00:59:02.730 --> 00:59:16.500 Casamassima, Christopher: If you've ever collected baseball cards on, but I would be absolutely thrilled to give anyone here your colleagues as well, a tour of the of the collection and what we have in a tour of the space and hopefully build some partnerships. 301 00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:32.190 Wodarczyk, Jennifer: Thank you,
