It’s Not Your Parents' Web anymore … The Internet isn’t as permanent as you might think. A new study shows: – 2.3 year median lifespan for web pages – 1 in 5 pages from 2021 already gone – 10% of root URLs disappear within a year 👉 Time to rethink preservation of digital culture with the power of decentralized storage? Kudos to @internetarchive and @oducs for this crucial research!

Some webpages are immortal, but most are ephemeral. Our preliminary report on our study of 27M webpages archived by @WaybackMachine. @WebSciDL @internetarchive @FilFoundation @oducs 🧵 1/ ws-dl.blogspot.com/2024/09/2024-0…

PhD🎓✅ #odu2024 #ODUgrad Just published my PhD wrap-up blog! Check it out for a look back at my journey. #PhDWrapUpBlog @WebSciDL @NirdsLab @oducs @ODU ws-dl.blogspot.com/2024/09/gavind…

I had the honor of presenting our latest research paper, Delivery of Medical Supplies to Remote Locations via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Approaches, Challenges, and Solutions, at the Smart Mobility and Logistics Ecosystems (SMiLE) 2024 conference, held at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. @ODUSCI @oducs

How do you use television news as research data? 📺 Check out this new explainer about using the Internet Archive's TV News Archive from @HimarshaJ of @ODU's Web Science & Digital Libraries Research Group (@WebSciDL): ws-dl.blogspot.com/2024/08/2024-0…

Congrats to @lesley_elis for a successful MS thesis defense! In "Surfacing Text Changes in Archived Webpages," she showcased a new interface to search web archive collections for added or deleted terms. 🧵 @WebSciDL @phonedude_mln @OpenMaze @oducs @odusci

Day 1 as a tenure Associate Professor @oducs @ODUSCI @odu @WebSciDL @NirdsLab. I'm very proud of all of our groups achievements!!! A thread👇

This year, I am honored to write the intro blog post for the @NSF funded 2024 mid-summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program @oducs @WebSciDL. The REU program @oducsreu is a valuable career education opportunity for benefiting interns. ws-dl.blogspot.com/2024/07/2024-0…

Congratulations to Dr. Gavindya Jayawardena @Gavindya2 for successfully defending her dissertation “RAEMAP: Real-time Advanced Eye Movement Analysis Pipeline”. 🥳 @NirdsLab @WebSciDL @oducs @ODUSCI @OpenMaze

Congratulations to Dr. Yasith Jayawardana @yasithdev for successfully defending his doctoral dissertation "A Realtime Biosignal Processing Framework for Lab Scale Experimentation." Second Ph.D to come out of @NirdsLab research team @WebSciDL @oducs @ODUSCI.

Where in the world are @ODU faculty doing research? This Wednesday we’re highlight @fanchyna and the work he does with graduate students. In the Wu lab @oducs does research on natural language processing, scholarly #bigdata, #digitallibraries, and #science.

We're excited to have Justin joining us! @ODUSCI

When you think of #BigData think of @fanchyna! Meet @oducompsci Assist. Professor Jian Wu! He’s a leading expert & researcher @ODU. Between his research specialities and teaching, he helps Monarchs reach their full potential in #STEM. youtube.com/watch?v=fqAcwo…

Congrats to the entire #Classof2024 @ODU! We want to recognize 4 amazing #Monarchs from @oducs! Click the link to read about these 4 amazing students who shared their passionate experiences and how faculty helped them reach their goals. #GoMonarchs odu.edu/sci/article/ma… @oducs

We are very excited to announce the summer cohort of the @oducs REU research with a diverse group of students from all over the country! They will dive deep in #disinformation alongside experts!

Join us in recognizing Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 16th from 12-1:30pm with a panel event about accessibility & usability of web archives! Attend in person in Perry Library rooms 1310-1311 (Lunch provided for all in-person attendees!) or online via Zoom💙♿️💻
