An archive and publication can be created to showcase the performances given during the Louder than a Bomb festival. Video and sound recordings, written excerpts, and competitor interviews can be online and physical. People will be able to read the written poems and compare them with the actual performances. They will be able to see what the audience and each individual poet adds to the piece. The archive will preserve the Louder than a Bomb festival in all its forms, so that it may be a part of the history of poetry. Why is writing and performing poetry is such a powerful outlet for these kids? Does the teamwork and competitive aspect make that much of a difference? What are some of the shortcomings of Louder than a Bomb? How can written and oral poetry convey information in ways that other mediums can not? Archivist, Louder than a Bomb poetry festival Job Summary: Louder than a Bomb, the largest youth poetry slam in the country, is looking for an experienced person to fill the new position of Archivist. This person will be in charge or recording, organizing, processing, and subsequently publishing the performances given in this years Louder than a Bomb festival. Principle Responsibilities: 1. The Archivist will need to work with a small team to collect and organize hundreds of poems and performances from the festival 2. The Archivist will need to plan, create, and eventually distribute a final publication of all of these poems and performances. Required Education and Experience: Master's Degree in Library Science from an ALA accredited school. In selected instances, a post-graduate degree in a related discipline may be required or substituted for an MLS. Experience in publishing is a plus. Excellent communication skills and an interest in poetry and youth poetry are also required. Does preserving the end result do enough to showcase the effort, love, and forgiveness that went into the performances? Participants (competitors and audience members) can be surveyed to see what they think. Would they be in favor of a Louder than a Bomb archive? As information professionals, we can think about if the information being conveyed through the Louder than a Bomb poems is any different from more traditional written or oral poetry. Is it more effective? Researchers can use the Louder than a Bomb archive to compare the festival with other poetry events, traditions, and styles, both written and oral. The archive may inspire others to join Louder than a Bomb or start their own poetry festival. Role of the Information Fields Personnel The archive would preserve the cultural and social importance of the Louder than a Bomb festival. The love and forgiveness exhibited by the competitors and their poetry will be available to and can be shared by anyone who is interested. Libraries can serve as a meeting place for competitors and organizers. They can also help spread awareness about Louder than a Bomb and even recruit possible participants.

2. www.postersession.com ABOUT THE PROJECT This project seeks to support the design and evaluation of a digital game exploring the issues raised in the new documentary film—The Undocumented—from award-winning filmmaker Marco Williams. The game—The Migrant Trail—seeks to break- down the assumptions about those crossing and protecting the border by creating an interactive, multi-perspective, and multi- faceted game experience. This case will study whether the game and attendant outreach efforts are an empathetic mechanism for understanding the topic from multiple perspectives and how this may activate love and forgiveness. SYNOPSIS OF THE UNDOCUMENTED FILM The film, by Marco Williams, tells the story of migrants who died while trying to cross the desert between Sonora, Mexico and Tucson, Arizona in search of a better life, and follows them on their long journey home. It begins with an anonymous body, then connects the personal effects, then to an ID card giving a name, and finally to the family of the victim. The result is a human being, a person, who is someone similar to you and me with which we can relate. SYNPOSIS OF THE MIGRANT TRAIL GAME As part of the “Games for Change Fellowship,” Marco Williams was given the chance to work with Asi Burak from Games for Change and his team, in order to implement a game in tandem with his film The Undocumented. The main difference associated with the two information spaces - how film and video games operate – includes different mind frame and forms of engagement by the users. By first engaging a person with an experience that captures their attention via the game, Marco and Asi hope to educate the viewer on important social justice issues through the film. Intersections Looking Towards the Future The Undocumented / The Migrant Trail #3264 FILM DIRECTOR MARCO WILLIAMS & GAME DEVELOPER ASI BURAK ERIK MALMBERG | UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN | SCHOOL OF INFORMATION Bibliography WHAT IS LOVE AND FORGIVENESS? Love is the most powerful force in the world. Only love can make us whole and make us one. Only love can heal our hearts, our relationships, our communities, and our world. In the face of conflict and injustice, forgiveness is an essential expression of love. In asking for and granting forgiveness, we free ourselves from guilt and grievance for a life of love and mutual support. Together, love and forgiveness light the path to a world in which all persons can live in peace and fulfillment, free from want, violence, and fear. ROLE OF INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS Information professionals (as well as the spaces they inhabit such as libraries, museums, and archives) are generally tasked to serve all communities. We serve people and can be passionate advocates for the concepts of egalitarianism, balance of power, social advocacy, public service, and diversity awareness. We are inherently involved with and must be aware of issues related to love and forgiveness. Librarians and other information professionals can be pivotal advocates for social justice issues including racism, poverty, immigration policy, and civil rights. An information professional is in an ideal position to help develop a video game based on a documentary that focuses on humanitarian and educational efforts. Our understanding of the relationship between information, users, and social and cultural factors can assist “Games for Change” in developing a product that is both entertaining and engaging for social good. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FOR THE DESIGNERS 1)What goals do the filmmaker and videogame developers have for the project? 2)What aspects and emotions from the filmmaker’s personal background do the users need to experience? 3)What aspects of the user experience from the film must be carried over to the game experience? 4)How much freedom should the user have? Will there be defined right and wrong solutions to problems? 1.“About.” THE UNDOCUMENTED - a film by Marco Williams: MIGRANT DEATH MEDIA.

HOW WE CAN HELP Video game movie tie-ins are typically expensive for a game developer, and the game designers usually have to work within constraints imposed by the director or film studio. Historically, video games based on movies have run into problems including poor quality, poor adaptation, and lack of relevance to the film. Some of this is due to pressure to finish the game in time for the film's release, lack of commitment to maintaining the game development compared to the film development, and failure to understand the goal of the video game or connection to the film. A trained information professional working on the project can help the publisher to design a successful game that: increases awareness about the primary media (the film); emphasizes clear goals of the project and high level of quality; connects to original media but can also stand-alone; engage users effectively; and gain revenue streams from both industries. IMPACT OF THE INFORMATION PROFESSIONAL An information professional can be beneficial on this project through managing the information architecture and design process. The information professional is specifically trained to engage with multiple stakeholders and explore their motivations, goals and desired learning outcomes. They can conduct comprehensive user research including appropriate methodologies and data collection, and synthesize results into practical design solutions. They also have the technical skill to move to the design and user testing phases to optimize and create an excellent product. If the information professional has done their job properly, then repeated user testing and post-purchase surveys should give feedback that confirms that the learning outcomes are met: seeing the connection between the video game and the film that both entertains and educates; confronting the assumptions about border protection and border crossings; and understanding and empathizing with the stakeholders in order to foster love and forgiveness.

3. Museum of World Religions, Birmingham, UK #3171 Fetzer Advisory Committee: World Religions & Spiritualties Presented by: Kate Coleman | 3 December 2012 Information professionals can render the exhibition of ideas and values as tangible as the artifacts traditionally found in museums. Intersection - processing information collected, mediating the information for the public, and constructing various points of access to the information - education and access to information - The Museum of World Religions in Birmingham, UK, draws from the knowledge and expertise of the staff of the Museum of World Religions in Taiwan. For the specific task of surveying various faith communities and their experiences of love and forgiveness, the reliance on the information professions is less overt but still present in the collection and management of information. Assessment of Need - In providing an educational resource to inform its visitors about the world's religions, how do you envision the museum as both traditional and modern? - Would you consider maintaining a museum library as a center for expanded study of the Museum's mission? - How does the Museum, specifically, intend to utilize and engage with new media in pursuit of its goal to create a "living space rather than isolated exhibits of artefacts?" - What does the Museum of World Religions see as the most beneficial contribution of information professionals to the successful fulfillment of its mission and goals? Impact & Intended Results - aid not only in the organized collection and arrangement of data, but also working with the various faith communities to present their experiences with love and forgiveness in a way understandable by any member of the public - facilitate and foster the necessary environment for the Museum of World Religion to achieve its goal of being a "shared space for dialogue and understanding between people from different faith communities as well as for people of no religious or faith affiliations." - Exhibition of Love and Forgiveness, featuring video recordings, transcripts, and multi- media displays that not present each place of worship's experience, but also make connections between them Personnel — Digital Media Coordinator Primary Responsibilities: - work with the project manager and exhibition designer to incorporate digital media into interactive exhibition designs - manage an archive of digital media from exhibitions at the museum or coordinate with the Museum Librarian to add the digital media to its collection - work to preserve different media formats Experience: - archival experience or experience managing multi-media collections - curatorial experience, from the conception of an exhibition through its production, is desired Evaluation - result in increased comfort with multi-media displays (skills), understanding of the challenges facing various faith communities (knowledge), and comprehending other religions in light of their own experiences (attitude) - assess the impact both through pre and post-experience surveys and focus groups Background Paine, Crispin, ed.

4. Craft C ompassion and Jaclyn Georges December 3, 2012 Museums today play important roles in educating and promoting awareness of love and forgiveness throughout our communities and to the world at large. Intersections Museums provide a intimate space where Craft and Compassion can promote education and public awareness of love and forgiveness through visual and physical mediums. The project relied on print media to promote their cause. Assessment of Need Are you satisfied with the amount of publicity your project has generated? Have you thought about creating a separate website and Facebook account as a way to promote your project? Have you considered creating a traveling exhibit with video interviews of the artisans and artisan groups you have highlighted in your project?

5. Presented By: Crystal McCullough December 3, 2012 Intersection between project and Information Field Assessment of Need Impact, Intended Results, and Evaluation Information Personnel Contribution of Skills Background Readings As keepers of research and knowledge in various formats, libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) help facilitate research and understanding by offering custodianship over the products of previous human innovation. With understanding comes compassion, and with compassion comes forgiveness. LAMs provide books containing various scenarios about human- ness, display treaties between nations in their exhibits, and house the products of one culture’s impact upon another. All of these things can inform our daily lives and help us to maintain individual value systems, systems that include the meaning and actions taken with regards to love and forgiveness. Research is informed by a thorough knowledge of a particular field and what others have contributed previously. This “previous knowledge” is usually available through the custodianship of a LAM.  Has the group thought of the ways in which this type of study would impact future parenting?  How much research has been conducted on this topic, concurrently and in the past?  Did the group anticipate how this knowledge would be disseminated and accessed? LAMs can contribute in obvious ways through documenting, preserving, storing, and disseminating information relevant to conducting this research in the first place and then the results that are obtained from the research. More specifically, they can contribute to the creation of a web archive and/or database that documents the process and results that is then accessible to and promoted by places such as Planned Parenthood, the Texas Workforce Commission, hospitals, daycares, and even high school home economics or biology, as well as the general public. Having someone to create an efficient cataloguing system at the onset of the research process, to create search systems, and to distribute information into databases would provide enhanced access to this type of information, thereby promoting this theme of love and forgiveness at the birthing stage of life. Streamlined methods of information retention and access would make tracking use of the information much more efficient as well. This will have the effect of informing and promoting future research in this area, as well as informing future parenting skills and enhancing the status of general public knowledge about parenting. This type of research could be the catalyst for maternity ward libraries in hospitals, which can in turn inform future research.  Barbakoff, Audrey.

DOI:10.1080/1367886022000016839 This exemplar wishes to record interviews and workshops where people affected by violent political conflict come together to discuss love, compassion and forgiveness. The discussions these groups have over the possibility and challenges of forgiveness can be shared with other groups who are experiencing the same issues in the hopes of helping a reconciliation process. Archives can play a challenging role in fostering forgiveness as its core concept is to preserve information that prevents forgetting, which often inhibits forgiveness. In saving the records of workshops where people grapple with love, compassion and forgiveness, an archive can document how humans deal with the impact of violent conflict which might or not be recorded elsewhere in an archives. The primary role of the archive is as the physical repository for the recordings and transcripts. As a secondary role, the archives can provide a location and access for members of other similar conflicts to gather peacefully to discuss and understand their situation utilizing the materials in their holdings. The tangible goal of this project is not only to digitally record the interviews, but to allow them to be easily accessible, preferably online with transcripts and translations to allow groups of different regions and languages to understand them. http://media.swarthmore.edu/bulletin/?p=32 Questions: 1.How do those affected by violent conflict view the relationship between forgiveness and forgetting? 2.2. How can this exemplar foster open discussion for reconciliation without providing a platform to re-open old disputes? 3.Open access and personal privacy are both important values in the library and archives field. Should open access be provided to all recordings or should recordings for current or very recent disputes be closed for a period of time to protect participants? Job posting for a Digital Archivist: Duties: catalog and preserve audio and visual materials, provide reference services to patrons about the materials, manage an open access online database of the audio-visual materials, identify and promote events where collection materials can be used by groups involved in conflict resolutions and forgiveness. Necessary skills: reference experience working with those of diverse backgrounds, experience working with digital repositories, experience with audio-visual materials, experience creating outreach programs in a library or archive setting. A qualified archivist will be able to maintain an easily accessible video database on a website for virtual users. Additionally, the archivist can create and loan out physical copies of the materials that can be used at workshops or conferences where love and forgiveness are discussed. The impact of this exemplar is only possible with the hiring of a digital archivist. Without the archivist actively preserving, providing access and publically promoting the materials, the materials will remain unused by other groups that would benefit from understanding how other members of violent conflicts have learned to love and forgive. The impact can be measured by the degree of access that the archives provides and by surveys indicating whether users found the materials helpful.

7. Libraries foster forgiveness by providing access to research, philosophical writings and creative writings about forgiveness which can inform hospice patients, their families and health professionals The information profession’s value of open information is key in this exemplar, as patients should have any information about forgiveness open to him/her without restriction. The exemplar did not rely on an information setting, but I intend to show how the two could overtly intersect. What do patients at the end of their lives want the most? How do family members and health professionals respond to these requests? At the end of life, patients often want to resolve conflict and ask for forgiveness from others. Nurses need to provide easy ways for patients to get peace from forgiveness. This exemplar acknowledges that fact and is aiming to write a list of best practices to aid in the forgiveness process. Information professionals can help by first gathering relevant information about end of life care and forgiveness, and then delivering it to the patients, their families, and health professionals. I propose the introduction of a portable hospice library that consists of one push cart of books. The books to be included would be texts on forgiveness and a selection of “for fun” reads, as many patients state “maintaining a sense of humor” as an important value at the end of life (Steinhauser et al. 2000). This library would be available to patients, family members and health care professionals. By bringing this information together in an easily portable form, patients, nurses and family members could get the information they need without unwanted intrusion in a very stressful time. The impact of this position would be bringing end of life and forgiveness information to the populations that need it in an unobtrusive way. A mobile library would be created, which is a change in behavior. A change in attitude would develop as patients, patients’ families and health professionals would be encouraged to seek and understand the importance of forgiveness. The information professional would conduct ongoing surveys of all affected parties (patients, families and health professionals) to see how they use the library materials.

8. TEMPLATE DESIGN © 2008 www.PosterPresentations.com Atis Fanm Matenwa: The Women Artists of Matenwa Presented By: Kathleen O ’ Connell December 3, 2012 Love & Forgiveness: Information Services & Settings Place of Information Settings in Exemplar Core Values of Information Services This exemplar touches most strongly on the core values of access and interconnectivity. The people of Matenwa and the Atis Fanm need access, not just to new information and skill sets, but to the world at large. Information services should promote the connection of this village to the rest of the world. Not only would this help them make a more successful bid for self-sufficiency, but it would increase the world’s awareness of their story and permit their efforts to inspire other communities to try the same. Reliance on Information Settings Up to this point, the AFM has relied very little on libraries, archives or museums, mainly because those institutions did not exist in any meaningful way until recently. The Learning Center made do with whatever minimal teaching equipment and technology it could acquire. The AFM relied mostly on face-to-face training with American artists to learn new craft skills. The construction of the library (with Internet access), and the technologies funded by the Fetzer Institute (including a video camera for the theater group of the collective), will probably prompt a greater use of information services/technologies and lead to new innovations. Impact & Intended Results Information services, specifically the utilization of the Internet and the creation of video archives, could be very helpful to this exemplar. Restructuring the AFM’s website to include more information about the individual artists, as well as a more accessible store interface, could increase traffic to the store and interest in the collective’s story. The use of social media sites for marketing could also increase traffic, and crowd-sourcing sites like Kickstarter could increase funding for craft supplies and useful technologies. Creating video archives of the stories behind the crafts would both increase understanding and help preserve a vanishing part of Matenwa’s cultural heritage. Making video collections of the theater group’s work and of the AFM artists teaching others to do their crafts would allow them to spread their social and practical messages more quickly and easily. Video sessions could also be arranged with artists from other countries to train the AFM artists in new crafts.

Assessment of Need Which information technologies would be most useful in increasing the exposure of the collective and their work to the wider world? What kind of support would be most helpful in allowing the Atis Fanm to bring their message of creativity, love and forgiveness to other communities in Haiti? Presented to the Fetzer Institute by Michelle A. Scheidt and Myriam J. A. Chancy Assessment of Need Atis Fanm Matenwa Libraries, archives and museums help promote love and forgiveness by strengthening communal bounds and increasing awareness of others in local and global communities. These information settings create an inclusive common ground that permits diverse and potentially adversarial groups to meet in a nonjudgmental way. They provide a space for sharing and remembrance, and a chance for reconciliation through increased understanding and respect. The AFM is a women’s collective in the Haitian village of Matenwa, and a sub-group of the Sant Atizana. The collective provides a framework that allows the women to create handmade crafts to sell to the US to help support their families and community. These women use the collaborative nature of the collective to practice love and forgiveness within the AFM and in the wider community. They are improving the social conditions of their village by working to end the abuse of women and children, and by reforming and reconciling with the abusers. The traditional information settings are very new to Matenwa. The village was able to build a public library with Internet access in 2007/8, but it will take time for the community to feel its full impact. The Matenwa Community Learning Center and the artists’ collective would make great use of the library and possibly of digital archives to continue education, gain new skill sets, increase communal stability and promote mutual respect and reconciliation. As new resources are created, they will help strengthen the social framework already in place and support new efforts at collaborative change.

9. Women’s Initiative: Train the Trainers and Mother/Daughter Workshop #3110 Emma de Boer: INF 380C: December 3, 2012 Intersection with Love and Forgiveness Questions? Evaluation Job Vacancy Impact of Information on Train the Trainers Background Love and Forgiveness in Information Libraries foster love and forgiveness by giving people access to information. Understanding the different sides of the situation is a start to love and forgiveness. Being a more informed member of society leads to less prejudice and more love and forgiveness. Museums promote love and forgiveness by creating exhibits that own up to mistakes nations and groups of people have made to others. Acknowledging a wrong is an essential first step in forgiving the wrong that has been made. The library can provide support and materials for the ‘Train the Trainers’ program. Other ways information professionals can help include, surveying both the trainers and the women about the difference before and after the training program. This would give tangible results of how the trainers are now better able to aide these women to become active and productive business members. The most prominent way for the information profession to help Women’s Initiative is to create a library program. Librarians could contribute to the success of the Women’s Initiative by assembling a closely related program that could be implemented in libraries around the United States. The newly trained Trainers would be able to hold seminars and classes to teach librarians and library workers how to create a program to help women learn the necessary skills to become business owners as well as how to overcome abusive relationships. Many of the resources already available at the library can be useful in these programs. Women’s Initiative is expanding to other cities across the United States right now. Using libraries who are already accustomed to working with the public and helping them in various ways would benefit Women’s Initiative and women across the country. The impact of filling the above position would create a greater web presence for Women’s Initiative. Creating a new webpage that showcases the trainers will give more authenticity to the program and would encourage more women to take classes. Creating programs across the United States would give more underprivileged women the opportunity and access to resources that would allow them to become productive members of society. The organization already does a wonderful job of helping women, the only downside to the operation is that it is only available to women in San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago or New York. The problems the women who take the class face are not only felt in those locations. By creating programs in multiple cities more women can gain the necessary skills to become entrepreneurs. Have you considered Facebook and other social media sites as a place to record the results of your exemplar? Do you have plans to continue the ‘Train the Trainers’ program in New York or Chicago? Create a class for librarians to learn how to implement a Women’s Initiative program. Create a website that showcases the Train the Trainers program and the new program. Specific Skills: Web design skills, Fluent in Spanish, Ability to delegate tasks, Library Experience The Women’s Initiative: Train the Trainers program could have been improved with the help of information professionals. The website, newsletters and conference presentations can all have been made and maintained by information professionals. In addition to maintaining the digital recordings of the program, libraries could have been incorporated into the program using libraries as another outreach of Women’s Initiative. Women’s Initiative is now opening offices in Chicago and New York. Including libraries across the country would increase the number of women helped out of poverty. Freedom of information and free access are both values that would be helpful to Train the Trainers. Libraries offer information about business taxes, and other important factors when starting a business. There did not appear to be an overt reliance on the library. Women’s Initiative has been a Non-Profit company since 1988. It is a well-run machine that teach self-confidence through self-employment. The program results speak for themselves. 90% of trainees one year after the program and self-employed and five years after training these women have created an average of 2.5 jobs for others.

10. Sarah M. Gilbert INF 380C December 3, 2012 Fostering Human Rights and Respect Through Memorialization Copyright Information Here Assesment of Need: 1. A major goal of this project is to improve relations with foreign countries, such as the United States and various European unions. Would you work with Turkish communities globally to strengthen the impact? 2. As the World Policy Institute has written in regards to this project, the Turkish government has difficulty acknowledging certain moments of history, such as the Armenian genocide, how do you plan to work with government officials to change this pattern of denial? 3. Do you think creating a library or museum dedicated specifically to the task of memorializing Turkey ’ s history would successfully represent all the groups you wish to acknowledge through this project? Personnel Position: “ World Policy Institute in collaboration with the Center for Truth, Justice and Memory (Hafiza Merkezi), and the Fetzer Institute have began working on a project called, “ Memorialization and Democracy in Turkey. ” The project is seeking a Digital Resources Librarian or Archivist. Qualifications are as follows: - MLIS from an ALA accredited university - It is preferred, but not required, that the candidate has a background in foreign affairs or history - Web Development skills (CSS, HTML, MySQL) - Knowledge best practices in special collections, archival materials and digital collections for public use - Excellent team skills and experience working with a collaborative effort. Evaluation: Planning the best practices for memorialization will enable the information workers to compile data through observation and surveys. They will have guidelines to examine the correlation between proper commemoration, democratic progress and a global/secular rule of law. Skills: Best practices for memorializing the repressed, killed or expunged from historic remembrance. Knowledge: Of other communities that have worked towards democracy after a dictatorship, genocide or violence using the rule of law and memorialization. Behavior: Work towards the acknowledgement of violence and conflict towards the repressed populations, such as the Armenian and Kurdish peoples. Attitude: Create a positive environment to encourage discussion. Status: Aiding in the efforts toward a democracy. Life Condition: Efforts for stability and access for all inhabitants of Turkey. Love and Forgiveness is made possible through knowledge; libraries/archives and museums provide a space for people to celebrate and discuss other ’ s differences. Impact and Intent:  There is a great need for access to archives and information for both those honoring the past and those who seek materials to stabilize post-conflict Turkey.  A catalogue of current memorialization efforts in Turkey is being developed. The commemoration efforts should be added to a website that functions as a database, as well as a place for people to gather, exchange ideas and continue providing to the catalogue. With the assistances of an archivist or digital resource librarian the website will provide knowledge of current developments, how this correlates with democracy, and the rule of law in the global society. Core Values: An information worker prides him or herself on the unbiased education of their patrons and the access to their facilities. Officials with the education and knowledge provided to them through memories could adopt this same mindset in efforts to understand how Islamic approaches differ from the countries they intend to build lasting connections with. Reliance: A key goal in this project is to obtain knowledge in order to share it with various assemblies. Knowledge can be gained through an information setting and then used to create a specialized information setting for these particular efforts.

11. Forgiveness in Muslim Contexts: Daily Practice, Legal Sanction, and Post- Conflict Reconciliation Billy Traylor – December 3, 2012 Iran has one of the highest capital punishment rates in the world. By providing examples of forgiveness given to offenders by victims and survivors, an archivist-curator can encourage forgiveness as an option to victims of violent crimes. Iranian National Museum of Forgiveness: Archivist-Curator o Incumbent will collect and preserve information and media related to cases of Sharia-based forgiveness. o Incumbent will design exhibits in such a way as to maximize impact so as to increase instances of forgiveness. o Applicants must possess an accredited degree in archival studies or a related field and have 2-3 years of professional experience along with a strong grounding in ethical practices. o A background in Middle Eastern Studies is preferred. Means of measuring effectiveness could include: o Lower execution rates. o An increase in instances of forgiveness of lesser wrongs among greater society. o A more positive international perception of Iran. o A decrease in number of court cases, saving money needed in other areas.

Theology Librarian at Chautauqua Knowledge of: Basic librarianship History and texts inherent in theological librarianship Theological resources, literature and its acquisition, denominational collections, archival collections Databases: to facilitate organizing theological materials, providing reference services, research requests, evaluating web resources Issues and trends affecting theological librarianship, such as  globalization  religious sensitivities and controversies  role of the librarian in facilitating technology in teaching and learning  the digital future How does Chautaqua respond to the information needs of its users? Are research materials relating to religious practices and prejudices available? Or exhibit space, for display of artifacts? What social media is being used at Chautaqua? A theology librarian, well-versed in many religious practices, may help guide the notions of religious acceptance at Chautaqua Forms may be reading room, bibliography, or exhibits Intersection Libraries can help provide information to help foster religious tolerance as Chautauqua looks to expand its faith houses Core values of information science revolve around access to information, which is key in helping people understand those different from themselves This case’s reliance on libraries is overt; however, it is difficult to foster feelings of acceptance toward different groups if one does not have access to information about those groups STATEMENT: Libraries, museums, and archives can foster feelings of love and forgiveness by providing the informational sources for research and a safe place for study and learning.

13. Friendship: Love and Forgiveness in Interreligious Relations Laura Schmoe December 3, 2012 #3170 Introduction Libraries and archives can provide a space for dialogue about love and forgiveness. They are a neutral space where people of varying religious backgrounds can learn more about the theological positions of other faiths from that other faith’s own perspective before any interreligious interaction, thereby laying the groundwork for a mutual understanding of each other’s position. With this background, the actual interaction can focus more on the common ground between two people rather than the theological differences between two faiths. Role of Archives As a direct result of the board meeting, several position papers, summary papers, and reflections from every participant were drawn up and archived on the Elijah Interfaith Institute website. The archival of these materials does two things: 1.Provides participants with educational resources about interreligious friendship that they can bring back to their respective communities 2.Provides non-participants access to the meeting’s reflections on the nature of friendship and love The web availability of the proceedings ties back to the information fields’ core value of access, as it allows for global dissemination of the materials. The board’s discussion also keeps in mind their own social responsibility to promote interreligious love and friendship among their home communities, as interreligious friendships foster not only spiritual growth among one’s friend, but also within oneself.

Fifth Meeting of the Elijah Board of World Religious Leaders, March 2012 - Oxford, UK Assessment of Need What sort of resources would the board members find helpful, both before and after the board meetings? In what ways do the participants stay in contact with each other and the Institute? What sort of collaborative efforts resulted from the board proceedings? Is the Board of World Religious Leaders achieving the Institute’s goals for interreligious dialogue outside of the board meetings? Role of Archives (cont.) This exemplar did not overtly rely on archival services because the focus of the project was the dialogue between the participants and the formation of relationships between religious leaders, not the preservation of the written material. Impact and Intended Results An information professional would assemble the currently available research materials, as well as the position papers not posted to the EII website, and create a WordPress powered website for these materials. The employee will organize and post the current material in the new site. The employee will then grant every board member posting access so that they can post any additional materials related to the topic of interreligious friendship, including previously unposted research materials, new material that they have created, and links to any outside materials pertinent to the topic. The website would need to allow the participants to communicate with each Personnel Requirements Prior experience in developing websites Knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and SQL Excellent written and oral communication skills Evaluation As the topic of the meeting is the intersection of interreligious friendship with love, the goal of the new website is to create a space where this type of friendship can be cultivated. The board reached the conclusion that interreligious friendships can cause each person to grow in understanding of their own faith because of the need to articulate one’s own position to the friend. This site will serve as a resource for this discussion with both the content and mode of discussion. The success of the project will be evaluated by surveys asking if the member a) developed friendships with other members after the meeting and b) used the website to develop these friendships. Site statistics will also be monitored to measure which aspects of the site the members use most frequently. Impact (cont.) other, both via public comments and private messages. The site, with any commentary added by the members, would be publically visible so that it may be used as an educational resource on the topic.

Music-Thanatology and the Information Professions Though the exemplar did not overtly rely on the services of the information professions, they have a place in the this exemplar in a number of ways as listed below. The core values of the information professions are also evident in the following intersections between the field and music- thanatology: Educating Serving Others Utilizing Multiple Media Types Providing Access to Information Rebecca Reel INF380C: Information in Social and Cultural Context December 3, 2012 The Information Professions and Furthering Love and Forgiveness The Chalice of Repose Project, #3070 Outcomes Generated Through the Inclusion of the Information Professions in the Project The information professions can contribute to the success of this exemplar by providing a framework to organize and manage the information that the exemplar creates. Deliverables created by a collaboration between the exemplar and the information professions could include: A digital archive of music performances and audio, visual, and text-based informational and educational resources Maintenance and updating of the Project’s home page and Internet presence The Impact of the Intersection of the Information Professions and the Project A collaboration between the Chalice of Repose Project and the information professions would result in a greater available number and type of resources supporting music- thanatology. Providing digital access to resources such as music recordings and educational literature would allow people all over the world to learn about music-thanatology and the Chalice of Repose Project. Many different groups would benefit from the results of the partnership between the two fields. These groups include: Music-thanatologists Students of music-thanatology Caregiving institutions Terminally-ill patients Caregivers Family members, friends, and loved ones Researchers and journalists Assessing the Impact of the Information Professions on the Chalice of Repose Project Given the deep connections between individuals in music- thanatology as a practice, qualitative methods of evaluation may be the most appropriate means to assess the impact of the information professions on the exemplar. These could include: Surveys distributed to caregivers, family members, friends, and loved ones of the terminally-ill Surveys distributed to caregiving institutions Focus groups of and interviews with music- thanatologists and music-thanatology students

Date: December 3, 2012 Description This project would place a big multi-touchable display in public libraries, to improves a ‘sense of community’, through fostering social encounters and an enhanced awareness within the community. The screen includes three sections: Public Interest Campaign Section, which streams down the campaign video and let people interact with the campaign coordinator. Share & Join Section, where the people in the community can share their content (sticky note, website, image, and music, etc.) and have impromptu meet-ups within the community. Collaborative Creation Section, where public librarians can set up topics for people to create collaboratively according to the activities within the community. What’s the role of design and designers to serve public interest? What kind of engagement of designers need to fulfill within the communities? Assessment of Need Role of Library in Furthering Love & Forgiveness It requires the librarian’s understanding of public interest and his community to cooperate with different public interest campaigns and to promote the awareness of social interest. It needs the librarian’s work to set up topics and themes for the Public Creation Section, which should fit in the Love & Forgiveness framework as well as public library service. Connection with Information Filed Works Cited Haoyang Li, School of Information, The University of Texas at Austin Design as a Catalyst for Human Relationships The setting of the Collaborative Display is the public library, which offers a level of visibility and availability that helps people interact with the display, and support graceful learning. The Collaborative Display encourages informal social information flow and provides conversational “ice breakers” among people within the community. The content of the Collaborative Display has an overt reliance on the public library services, and can be enriched by the resources of the library. The librarians can initial activities for the community by using the display. Personnel Due to the nature of the public space and the rich form of shared content, the Collaborative Display requires a system administrator with responsibilities: Monitor and remove inappropriate content. Provide constant encouragement and demonstration to interact with the Collaborative Display. Maintain the operation of the display. Skills Required: Public service experience. Good communication skills. Knowledge of IT and ability of hardware and software troubleshooting. Impact and Intended Results This project produces a tangible object of a public collaborative display. But it is not merely about objects but about being a catalyst for changes in human relationships and activity, which includes: Facilitate informal information sharing within the community. Promote lightweight, visible and fluid collaboration. Foster consciousness of public interest. With the help of librarians and public library resources, the project can provide opportunities for collaborative learning and manifest Love & Forgiveness. Evaluation The Collaborative Display would be evaluated as a socio-technical artifact, in terms of how it supports and extends existing activities and practices. The metrics for success center around continued use, and the perception of value within the community. The evaluation takes the steps: A brief ethnographic study prior to the deployment to understand the nature of the community and the library. Log the systems interaction and content to capture people’s direct interactions with the display by using quantitative data. Observational studies to see how people use the Collaborative Display. A questionnaire distributed to the librarian and people in the community to collect details and views from them.

17. Colinas de Suiza – Building Community Ana Stanescu December 3, 2012 Love, Forgiveness, and the Information Professions Needs Assessment Personnel Evaluation Impact and Results Background introduction Dr. David R. Muñoz began his work in Colinas de Suiza, Honduras with a relatively simple engineering project: working together with local stakeholders to bring cheaper and cleaner drinking water to a village community made up of displaced people. Soon, he realized that further work is necessary to strengthen relationships between various groups in the village and ensure sustainability of the project. If all the audiovisual materials produced during the project were to be digitized and preserved, they could be continually referred to by community members, and serve as future resources for growth. These documents would then become the foundation for a renewed sense of shared community identity. Expected outcomes: Behavior: further locally-led organizing and development efforts to meet community needs. Attitude: increased confidence in local problem-solving abilities. Knowledge: of community identity, values, and common goals. Methods for Evaluation: Unobtrusive observation o Are villagers attending the exhibits and instructional workshops, and are they making use of the audiovisual materials collection? Direct observation, pre- and post-surveys o Do the individuals feel more empowered to engage in future projects? o Are more community needs being met? o Do individuals have a stronger, cross- generational sense of community identity and goals? Expected outcomes: Behavior: further locally-led organizing and development efforts to meet community needs. Attitude: increased confidence in local problem-solving abilities. Knowledge: of community identity, values, and common goals. Methods for Evaluation: Unobtrusive observation o Are villagers attending the exhibits and instructional workshops, and are they making use of the audiovisual materials collection? Direct observation, pre- and post-surveys o Do the individuals feel more empowered to engage in future projects? o Are more community needs being met? o Do individuals have a stronger, cross- generational sense of community identity and goals? 1.What is the background of this community, and how did they become displaced? 2.What were some of the reasons for why vandalism of the water pipes was taking place? 3.How much support might villagers need in video recording community events? Duties for an information professional in this setting would include: Providing any necessary support and instruction in the creation of audiovisual media. Archiving videos of the small group meetings and the community celebration. Digitizing and archiving all art and documentation created by the community on love, forgiveness, and ideas for development. Ongoing, long-term curation of exhibits of past artwork and media for community members. Preferred Qualifications: Bi-lingual English/Spanish. Experience with audiovisual digitization, archiving, and exhibit curation. Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across disciplines. Knowledge and understanding of issues affecting rural Honduran communities. Demonstrated sensitivity to diverse cultural contexts. Explicit mention of libraries, museums, or archives is understandably absent given that the institutions above are most often permanent structures hat would be left behind when a population is displaced. This is all the more reason why Colinas de Suiza would benefit from the services of an information professional. One of the core values of the information professions is ensuring that knowledge can be passed on and used to change our future in positive ways. Through preservation and ongoing exhibition of artwork, videos, and other documents created by villagers throughout the course of this project, the community could maintain a sense of continuity from the past and present to the future. Such services would contribute to community awareness and problem- solving because the stakeholders would be able to learn from previous mistakes and successes. Most importantly, cultural preservation would foster the inter-generational connections centering love and forgiveness that are central to sustainability. 1.Hindmarch, Leanne and Robert M.

Spirituality is associated with culture which may vary in different areas, so how you deal with the problem of diverse cultures? “Spirituality” is an individual’s relationship to the transcendent, which is reflected in their attitudes, habits and practices. We could build a digital library for doctors which contains readings and records of patients related to spirituality. Illness disrupts not only biological processes; it also disrupts a patient’s relationship to other people, the natural world, and the transcendent. As public facilities which provide information to many people, libraries or librarians should play as medium to express the idea of Love & Forgiveness. By Zixiao Wang 12/3/2012

19. The ideas of love and forgiveness are advanced by libraries, archives, and museums through their promotion of knowledge, awareness and understanding. They do this by providing access to information that allow love and forgiveness to develop through a greater understanding and deeper compassion for the world around us. Assessment: The information professions can enhance the documentary through historical research and archiving of footage from performances and events, programs, and photographs. Additionally they can use their website and social media to promote the documentary and spread their message. Role: Impact: Sarah E. Williams – December 3, 2012 Intersection: Evaluation: Libraries and archives provided access to research on George Bridgetower, which led to an understanding of how a lack of forgiveness led to his lack of remembrance. Joshua Coyne's ability to learn about music and figures like Bridgetower allowed him to develop his love for music and forgive the abuse he suffered as a child. Without access to this information the documentary would not have been able to intersect their two lives and bring to light the forgiveness and love needed as minorities used music to overcome societal boundaries. Core Values: Furthering education and research about the historical struggles of minorities in their efforts to find success through music. Libraries and archives can help this by providing access to historical recordings, programs and other documentation of their careers. Reliance: This case openly relied on library and archival services based on the historical research required for Rita Dove to learn about Bridgetower, as well as the personal footage of Coyne used in the documentary. Additionally they researched the true history of Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata." Do you plan to use libraries or museums as a venue for presenting the documentary as a means of furthering education and providing access to historical information about Bridgetower and bringing more awareness to his role in music history? Who is your target audience for this documentary and do you intend to focus on inner-city communities with disadvantaged youth as a means of inspiring them? Outcomes: An educational outreach concert would be the ideal opportunity to combine a variety of components from the exemplar including a viewing of the documentary followed by a live performance and open discussion. Any combination of these would be sufficient, as well as an interactive website with an archive of Joshua's performances and a timeline of Bridgetower and other important minorities that overcame racial boundaries through music. Personnel: Audiovisual Archivist Process, catalog, plan and implement conservation measures, and develop and maintain a database of the audiovisual materials held by the project. Contribute to project outreach efforts, including providing and maintaining content for website and social network postings, and preparing exhibits and presentations. Perform duplication and editing of audiovisual materials using editing software such as WaveLab, Final Cut Pro and/or Avid for the purpose of facilitating access to these materials for educational use. Demonstrate knowledge of current and emerging metadata and cataloging standards and best practices for digital collections. The most notable changes will be in knowledge and behavior. Archiving and sharing their audiovisual materials will allow them to provide more access for educational use and increase awareness of their project through a stronger social media presence that allows people to share their pictures and videos. This will hopefully change the behavior of the project as they are more encouraged to promote the documentary with current media, and also develop a database of material to use for future work on the project. The impact of this position could be measured using Google Analytics to determine changes in website traffic, tracking video plays or image downloads, and observed changes in requests for educational materials or outreach events.

21. Peace and Forgiveness Through Memorialization in Post-Conflict Africa Kathryn Darnall INF 380C: Information in Social/Cultural Context 3 December 2012 Information Science is moving towards a mission of social justice and the pursuit of comprehensive storytelling—the archive and museum can both use their spaces to create an environment of inclusion, allowing victims to tell their stories and to provide closure. Information’s core values of acceptance and inclusion for all can help International Sites of Conscience in their quest to provide safe spaces for victims of violence, expand upon their exhibition spaces for body mapping, and create what they refer to as “symbolic repatriation” or re-introduction to one’s home country in a post-conflict nation. International Sites of Conscience work to establish memorials and art exhibitions through museum partnerships, which may be expanded upon in the future by including archives, mobile libraries, or through digital exhibitions. With the recent re-branding of Sites of Conscience and the upcoming re-launch of the website, what are you hoping to highlight about your organization in the future? Where would you like this study of Body Mapping in Liberia and Kenya to take Sites of Conscience? How has the organization been working to “tell the stories” of their participants? How would you like to expand this in the future? What are the three things you wish potential donors, future site participants, and future collaborators knew about your organization?

23. A Safer World Love and Forgiveness in Afghanistan Lyndsey D. Myers, December 3, 2012 How could information professions have contributed to the success of this conference? Through decades of war, Afghans are struggling to survive. Most know no other life outside of war. The proposed project was to organize a conference that takes a unique approach by inviting poets, writers, and authors, including Sufi scholars. The project will also produce a video documentary based on the conference proceedings and other interviews. The idea is to highlight the long heritage of love and forgiveness within Afghanistan and to share the message to Afghans that they come from a history of peace and not war. The proposed conference occurred in the spring 2012. Love and forgiveness is fostered through a willingness to have an open dialogue with a person’s wrongdoers. I believe that information settings such as museums, libraries, and archives can promote positive communication by giving people a space to explore both sides of the divide. Consider the Intersection Information fields are on the periphery of this exemplar. Although they could definitely be utilized, the focus was not on them. The Afghan Institute of Learning runs a library and library programs to educate children, and representatives of this project were present. Core values that inform this exemplar are accountability and freedom. This exemplar was seeking materials that showcase the history of peace in Afghanistan, and the freedom to control this wellbeing. They are striving to make someone accountable to ending the recent trend of war and hate. Questions for the project leader Following the conference, has there been any move to make the documentary? What was the impact of the conference on funding for your programs? Is there a website specifically dedicated to the conference? Job opening – Information Professionals needed to: Design an exhibit of materials from authors at the conference Work with videographer to capture 360 views of the exhibit Create a website where patrons can browse the exhibit online Skills needed: website development, experience in museum curation, ability to manage workers, and assign tasks. Background Information on the exemplar Evaluation A main focus of this conference was on rediscovering the peaceful history of Afghanistan through literature. Librarians and archivists are perfect for this job, as they can help find and organize materials for the conference. With the help of museum curators, they could create an exhibit that showcases these materials. The exhibit could be digitized and uploaded to their website, so that people from around the world can access the materials. It would be beneficial to create a bibliography of the works of the attending authors. The impact of this website could be monumental for both Afghans and people around the world. Because of situations in recent years, most of the world views Afghanistan as a center of conflict and violence. Broadcasting that this hasn’t always been true, with a call to return to peace, will surely change attitudes, which could stem life changes. I think the best way to evaluate the impact is through focus groups. Though usually equated with product development, focus groups can also help foster love and forgiveness. Questions to present to the focus group: What was your original viewpoint regarding Afghan culture? How has it changed since this exhibition? Was the site user friendly? Did you feel more connected to the culture? Recommended Readings Barbakoff, Audrey. "Libraries Build Autonomy: A Philosophical Perspective on the Social Role of Libraries and Librarians."

24. Finding It within Ourselves: Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Rescue in Post-Atrocity Rwanda & Uganda #3177 Presented by Diana Vieira, December 3, 2012 Libraries, archives and museums can serve both as repositories and advocates of love and forgiveness. Needs of Fetzer Project What kind of equipment is used to capture the interviews? What kind of equipment is used to capture the interviews? How will these interviews be made available? How will these interviews be made available? Has there been any thought given to preserving these interviews? Has there been any thought given to preserving these interviews? Libraries, archives and museums are important cultural institutions that collect and preserve history, acting as physical and metaphysical centers of knowledge. They encourage social exchange and foster dialogues, making them perfect settings to embrace the work of this project. This project will take shape primarily through radio broadcasts and the internet, and sound information infrastructure will allow the project to be disseminated and appreciated globally by generations to come. While interactions between libraries, archives, and museums, with the project’s content was not explicitly mentioned, all of these institutions would benefit from the rich content produced by this project, and the project would benefit from greater exposure and additional context.

Impact and Intended Results Expanding knowledge of impact of exercises in reconciliation Expanding knowledge of impact of exercises in reconciliation Building confidence in public institutions, empowering participants of project Building confidence in public institutions, empowering participants of project Moving scope from local (within Rwanda and Uganda) to global Moving scope from local (within Rwanda and Uganda) to global Possibility of organizing travelling exhibits augmented by results of this project Possibility of organizing travelling exhibits augmented by results of this project Possibility of creating similar projects in other areas based on the impact of this project, using this Fetzer project as a fundraising tool Possibility of creating similar projects in other areas based on the impact of this project, using this Fetzer project as a fundraising tool Hypothetical Job Vacancy: Project Archivist A project archivist is needed to organize and document the finished interviews of this project, in addition to collecting supporting materials for the establishment of a complete historical record of this project. This position is also responsible for handling policy issues with regards to copyright and access, as well as overseeing the dispersal of content through various media, such as print, radio, and digital. This position will oversee the creation of a digital media archive that is both internal and web accessible. Skills: Excellent communication skills, experience appraising, arranging and categorizing archival materials, demonstrated skills maintained digital media, familiarity with METS, XML, and other data structure standards applicable to digital collections, ability to provide descriptive metadata Job Evaluation This job could be quantified in a number of ways, such as the analysis of site traffic of the website that the position oversees, counting the number of requests for information made through the site or links made to the site by blogs or news outlets. Given the context of this project, more in-depth evaluations could be made. For example, the Project Archivist could hold workshops in Rwanda and Uganda instructing the affected populations how to document and preserve their own histories, empowering them to take ownership of their experiences.

New York: Columbia University Press, 2001 Impact and Intended Results: The creation of a website and would be helpful in reaching beyond the participants of this study. The intent of the project would offer reconciliation for those involved, allowing for rebuilding of communities and countries. Information professionals would aid in the usability of the website and the integration of resources for the website. The website is a tangible outcome of this project. Web designer: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Ability to work as a member of a team. Experience in creating web user-interfaces. Be able to incorporate resources to aid in the project. Be aware of sensitive and ethical issues. Be willing to meet any cultural expectations of groups represented. Questions: Is there any training involved? Do participants fall under a certain time frame since conflict? Is there are particular region you are focusing on? Evaluation: A web designer allows the project to reach a larger audience. The usability of a website would be crucial for other elements of the project to be successful. An individual’s reasons for participating could be influenced by the website, or other public materials concerning the project. The website would also allow a venue for the project to publicize its efforts and potentially gain support. The success of the project could be evaluated by focus group or surveys completed by the participants. Archives allow for reconciliation and furthering the act of forgiveness by understanding the past and promoting advocacy for all persons. This project is not related to a museum, library, or archive, but relies on ethics, a core value of the field of information.

27. Love & Forgiveness Sculpture For Assisi What is the role of libraries? Assessment of Need Where do information fields & this exemplar intersect? INF 380C: Information in a Social and Cultural Context Presented by: Lyndsey Raney on December 3, 2012 Intended Impact Does this piece tie in with your complete body of work? Are there any plans to expand, perhaps a series on Love and Forgiveness? Would you change anything if you could alter your exemplar? While the exemplar communicates well, not everyone can travel to Assisi to view the piece. The best way to give this exemplar greater opportunity to be seen and shared is through the Internet. A website with a 3D mapping function, or just a site with a series of images of the statue at multiple angles would work well. Evaluation Personnel: Outreach Librarian Libraries’ commitment to serve each and every member of their communities. They are natural proponents of love and forgiveness. Their nature gives them unique skills to provide access to information and experiences. Web Design Social Media and Networking Digitization Photo manipulation and Editing Instruction Reference Cross-departmental Collaboration This exemplar’s message could reach beyond Assisi. It could spark interest in art among patrons. This uptick could be quantified by calculating patron visits, reference questions about the exemplar, or tracking the number of hits a website for it garners. Libraries function as a gateway between the exemplar and the public. The exemplar did not rely on libraries for its creation. Libraries can use the exemplar to teach people about art.
