Following up on our #rbms22 session today The Things We Left Behind, here's a 🧵of some of the resources mentioned by presenters and in the chat, and things that inspired my thinking in the conversation

In observance of #ArchivesMonth, #OCLCresearch's @Partly_Cloudy spotlights the valuable, fascinating, and evolving work of archivists in two recent posts on #HangingTogether. ➡️ Explore her posts—and past posts—on the impact of archivists over the years: oc.lc/45ySZLw

@partly_cloudy Presents on important @US_IMLS funded archives and users research!

@ehkopin @stephestellar I just finished Nothing to See Here over the course of a few days -- it's not very long + I really couldn't put it down. Agree it would be great.

Happy 20 years @WebJunction! It's been great watching how you work while @OCLC. Looking forward to seeing what's next. #EngagedLibraries blog.oclc.org/next/webjuncti…

I am very excited to share that findings from our research for the Building a National Finding Aid Network project are now available. This was a major effort to inform the future of archival discovery and I'm really proud of this work oc.lc/nafan-research

Oh heeeeyyy, the full recording of the "Intro to AV Assessment" workshop I taught 5/9/23 is now available online for free! talks.pratt.edu/media/t/1_navk… #AVArchives

@clancynewyork @sophiasgaler @lmacthompson1 @nursingclio Without looking at this carefully, wondering what it looks like compared to dates of books in the corpus? It may have to do w copyright impacting what got scanned from print holdings in libraries and not be about the terms but just a drop off of works not in the public domain

Wondering if anyone has insights into this question for @sophiasgaler cc: @lmacthompson1 @nursingclio

Great question. A factor to consider: Google Books trends can be misleading, depending on the corpus searched and data for that period, and may not reflect the true frequency with which terms appear in print. Can any historians shed light on what might be happening here?

@m_h_ramirez Mario!! Congratulations! So very excited for you, and for CCNY.

Posted the slides and notes for the talk I did with @AmandaGreenw00d for #IIPCWAC23 gregwiedeman.com/presentations/… I'll summarize a bit since I think we had some important findings:

I've got a new post up today on Hanging Together, summarizing recent conversations with RLP colleagues about the state of Collections as Data support in their libraries. #oclcresearch hangingtogether.org/collections-as…

Very excited to see this new @OCLC Research report published today - fascinating case studies of library collaboration in action! oclc.org/research/publi…

@catladylib This has been a big topic of conversation in our household. I just hollered to @anarchivist in the other room “there is fanny pack discourse on library Twitter!”

@meau_takes Big cities don’t work without commonly understood norms and public shaming to teach and enforce them.

My commute in Philadelphia used to be the 42 bus from 52nd St. into Center City and people shamed each other into acting right all the time.

Thinking about bizarre recent subway discourse, and how when I was in Seoul an ancient man came very close to me and said very quietly “a little softer, please.” Long-term followers will not be surprised to know that this is a pro-social-shaming-in-public account.

@SevenPaperclips This special issue of Archival Science might be useful link.springer.com/journal/10502/…

@meau_takes @anarchivist @steganogram long shots/more work: ask Bunde if there is anything in the NYU Archives, see if there is anything in the grant reporting but I think it was all Mellon funded so maybe not.

@meau_takes @anarchivist I don't think Sibyl is on here anymore, but it would be worth asking her. Also maybe talking with @steganogram as he might have some insight into this from working on the survey module

Archives oldheads -- I believe that our mental model for documenting accessions is bound to the data model created by Archivists’ Toolkit and ported to ArchivesSpace. But I’m having the hardest time finding AT documentation of why they chose the elements they did. Suggestions?

@adorkablekati @feministlib I’m so very sorry to hear this news. I did not know Anna well but learned from and admired her. Her brilliance, generosity, and passion always were clear. My deepest condolences to you and @CrowGirl42 and everyone who loved her.

@ess_ell_zee This is the correct answer

Is it archive or archives, that is the question.
