Moving forward together following recent incidents
From Vice Provost and Director of Libraries Damon Jaggars:
President Drake, Provost McPheron and other university leaders recently spoke to the
intimidating climate some have encountered in the past week, including verbal assaults and
incidents of violence. Their message emphasized the pride we have at Ohio State in being an
inclusive and welcoming community and made it clear that we will not tolerate intimidation or
threats to students, faculty, staff or visitors.
Our libraries are inclusive institutions, open to all and housing a diverse collection that represents
the full range of ideas, philosophies and positions. Anyone entering our facilities or utilizing our
services should expect to use the Libraries without fear of disruption or confrontation.
If you find yourself being confronted or made ill at ease by the action of others—or if you see a
library user being placed in such a situation—please report it immediately to the Thompson
Library West Security Desk, 614-292-3279. You can also contact the Libraries’ security staff
directly (Brent Lewis, Security Manager, 614-292-5069, 614-271-0652, mobile, or David
Holbrook, Building Resource Specialist, 614-292-1158), or call the Director’s office, 614-292-
4241.
If, in your judgement, an event is rapidly escalating and an individual or individuals are in
imminent jeopardy, notify The Ohio State University Department of Public Safety at 614-292-
2121 (9-1-1 in an emergency).

As President Drake and colleagues stated, “Times of great stress challenge our skill set. Let us
rise to that challenge. Let us resolve to do our best to move forward to a brighter tomorrow. Let
us resolve to do this together.”
I ask managers and supervisors to share this information broadly to ensure that we have a
collective understanding of what to do if such a situation arises.
Onward.
Tableau, the Titanic, and Other Tales: Data analytics and data visualization offers both
libraries and the communities they serve the ability to effectively query and utilize volumes of
strategic and operational data. Sarah will discuss how Tableau, a rapid analytics and data
visualization software with an intuitive drag and drop interface, can be used to craft compelling
stories with data.

Research Libraries and Archives Stand Committed to Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, Social Justice
by Chris Bourg, ARL Diversity and Inclusion Committee Chair | cbourg@mit.edu | on November 16, 2016
At the conclusion of one of the most divisive elections in recent US history—and at a time
when the results of that election have left many members of marginalized communities
angry, scared, and vulnerable—the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) proudly
reaffirms its longstanding commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice.
As social institutions, research libraries strive to be welcoming havens for all members of
our communities, and ARL libraries will not deny service to anyone based on race, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran
status, ancestry, national or ethnic origin, or citizenship status. While ARL libraries and
archives work hard to be inclusive in their hiring, collections, services, and environments,
the Association and its members will not claim neutrality in the face of discrimination,
sexism, ableism, racism, homophobia, religious persecution, or other forms of oppression.
We support freedom of speech and the open exchange of ideas and opinions, but we will
not tolerate hate speech, silencing, inflammatory rhetoric, or any other speech or action
that threatens the safety or dignity of any member of our community.
The Association of Research Libraries will continue to advocate for policies, laws, and
practices that champion intellectual freedom, privacy, confidentiality, rigorous research,
and equitable access to information. ARL and its members will also redouble efforts to
promote diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice in and through research libraries and
archives. Now more than ever, it is critical that libraries and archives ensure open and
equitable access to credible sources of news, data, and knowledge, and provide the
expertise, services, collections, tools, and spaces that will help all community members
critically assess the information they encounter.

Data Analytics programs set
What is “Translational” in Translational Data Science?
Tuesday, December 6, 10 -11:30 a.m., Research Commons
Terms such as “big data,” “data analytics,” and “data science” are becoming increasingly
common in conversations about academic research and with researchers themselves. New and
developing initiatives at Ohio State, such as the Translational Data Analytics Discovery Theme
and the Undergraduate Data Analytics Major, demonstrate the importance that Ohio State is
placing on these emerging areas. What does this mean for the OSU research community, and
how can Libraries’ faculty and staff support these data-centered initiatives? Dr. Raghu Machiraju,
Interim Director of Translational Data Analytics, will discuss these topics and more at this
professional development series event sponsored by the Programming Committee.
Dr. Raghu Machiraju is an established computer scientist, holding the rank of a Full Professor in
the Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Computer Science and Engineering. He is
currently serving as the Interim Director of Translational Data Analytics, a Discovery Theme
Initiative on campus. Raghu's research lies squarely in data science and analytics. He has
applied methods of machine learning, data mining and modelling and visualization to problems in
genetics, medical image analysis, semiconductor physics and fluid dynamics. His recent NIH and
NSF funded work pertains to developing methods that deal with multiple kinds of data (clinical
records, genomics, etc.) in an integrative manner. In his spare time, he is on a mission to
"automate biology" by repurposing 3D printers as laboratory robots and by adding machine
vision and natural language abilities to “mitigate the misery of hapless staff and students in a
biology lab.”
Brainstorming Data in the Libraries
Wednesday, December 7, 10 a.m.-noon, Research Commons
This brainstorming session will serve as a follow-up to Raghu’s presentation on December 6 and
provide a platform for interested Libraries’ faculty and staff to discuss best practices, potential
opportunities, and possible gaps related to the Libraries’ role in contributing to data-centered
research initiatives at Ohio State. Come and discuss the things you found interesting from
Raghu’s presentation, conversations around data happening in your area, and your ideas for
moving data services forward in the Libraries.

2016 Committee Review Process on Hold
For the past few years, the Executive Committee has started the committee review process in
October by reviewing the committee charge documents and sending out the call for volunteers.
Given that we are in the beginning stages of strategic planning, we will hold off on the review
until early 2017, once we have a better idea of our strategic priorities for the next couple of years.
In the meantime, the Executive Sponsor will be in touch with each committee chair to discuss
priorities for the next few months. In most cases, we expect that the committees/groups will
continue with the current membership and charge until the review process in 2017. So if you
currently serve on a committee, you will remain on that committee until Exec has a chance to
review committee membership after the strategic plan is finished. If you have questions about a
specific committee, please reach out to the Executive Sponsor.
How Do We Know What Works in Teaching and
Learning? Annual Teaching and Learning In-Service
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a growing movement in higher education
based in disciplines that seeks to create research - and evidence-based practices for making
decisions about what works in teaching and learning. This workshop will introduce the landscape
of SoTL, and focus on strategies for collaborating with teaching faculty along the continuum from
locating this literature to using SoTL literature in making evidence-based decisions about course
and assignment design. This year’s In-Service will particularly focus on the evolving role of
librarian as pedagogical partner with faculty, and developing our organizational knowledge about
the research on pedagogy. These goals ultimately support major university initiatives focused on
teaching and learning.
The workshop leader for this year’s In-Service is Dr. Teresa Johnson of UCAT (University Center
for the Advancement of Teaching).
The workshop will be held Friday, December 2 in Thompson Library, Room 150A/B. Registration
begins at 9:30 a.m. with coffee/tea and pastries. The workshop will run from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.,
with lunch from noon -1 p.m.

WINDOWS ON DEATH ROW
November 5, 2016 - March 12, 2017
In Death Penalty We Trust by Patrick Chappette
Windows on Death Row features over 70 works of art by famous American political
cartoonists, as well as from a more unlikely source, death row inmates. Using art as a tool for
social awareness, this exhibition opens a window into an often hidden part of the ongoing
conversation about capital punishment – exploring the system through the eyes of the
incarcerated. At a moment when our country is becoming ever more polarized regarding racial
injustice and economic inequality, the questions that this exhibition raises could not be more
timely.
