1.      Personal Archiving: An Emerging LIS Subfield

Associate Professor Lori S. Kendall

Personal archiving consists of the documentation practices of ordinary people.  It includes the creation, preservation, and distribution of things such as photography, diaries, personal documents, etc.  Scholarly interest in these practices is increasing in several areas, including corporations such as Microsoft, cultural heritage institutions like the United States Library of Congress and the British Library, and amongst academic scholars from disciplines including history, sociology, library and information science, and computer science.  This talk will outline the current status of personal archiving scholarship and demonstrate why this area is ripe for greater attention from library and information science scholars.

2 Preserving Virtual Worlds: Computer Games & Digital Preservation

Assistant Professor Jerome P. McDonough

Computer games have grown from a leisure practice of a relatively small group of technology enthusiasts to a major new medium of expression.  Games are now used for educational and training purposes in universities, corporations and the military, they have been used as modeling environments for fields as diverse as architectural design and epidemiological studies, and provide a new and significant venue for social activities.  They also constitute a significant economic phenomenon within the United States, with gaming software estimated to have contributed $4.9 billion to the United States' Gross Domestic Product in 2009.  Despite their growing cultural, economic and scientific importance, however, we have very little understanding of how to preserve these digital artifacts.  This talk will discuss the Preserving Virtual Worlds initiative, a multi-university investigation into the preservation of computer games.

Jerome McDonough, Asst. Professor

3. Multimodal Music Mood Classification

Clinical Assistant Professor Xiao Hu:

Library and Information Science Program

University of Denver.

In recent years, the aspect of affect (or emotion) has become a research focus in information behavior and other information science subfields. This talk will focus on the affective aspect of music (popularly known as music mood) which is a newly emerging access point to music information. I will introduce my research on developing a mood model that can reflect the reality of music listening and complement traditional models in psychology.  I will also present a multi-modal approach combining lyric and audio in automatic music classification and recommendation. Experiments on a large dataset of 5,296 songs in 18 mood categories show improvement on effectiveness and efficiency of music mood classification.

Xiao Hu is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Library and Information Science Program at the University of Denver. Her research interests are Music Information Retrieval, Text Analytics and Digital Libraries. Her research on music mood classification has won the Berner-Nash Award, the best student paper award in the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries, the best student paper award in the iConference, and the 3^rd place of the Jean Tague-Sutcliffe Doctoral Research Poster Competition.

Xiao received her Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she also received her M.S. in Computer Science. Xiao also received her M.S and B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Wuhan University respectively.
