APRICOT A Peer-Reviewed Interdisciplinary Collection of Objects for Teaching Alexandra Bolintineanu Postdoctoral Fellow - University of Toronto Matthew Evan Davis Independent Scholar Tamsyn Rose-Steel (PI) Digital Scholarship Specialist - Johns Hopkins University Ece Turnator Digital Humanities Associate - University of Texas, Austin Bridget Whearty Assistant Professor in English and Medieval Studies - Binghamton University

What is APRICOT? A site where: Instructors can find teaching materials, upload materials, comment on and review materials. Get metrics on how their material is used. Create versions of materials with attribution carried forward and be able to trace the evolutionary path of those materials. * These metrics, review and demonstrated paths of evolution will be particularly useful for showing the value of our teaching materials and for starting to show committees for tenure or job search that our teaching can be reviewed, disseminated, and valued in our communities of practice just as our research.

The need for APRICOT Acknowledgment Community Respect Innovation Review

How does it work? At its most basic, APRICOT needs to be able to: Allow instructors to create or upload teaching objects. Create daughter copies of these teaching objects, which can be modified without changing the original, yet still maintain the connection between the two. Propagate these mother/daughter connections generationally, so that the daughter three generations down the chain still maintains the connection to the original item.

How does it work?

How does it work? This:

How does it work? Is really this:

How does it work? xslt transforms the Word document

How does it work? and wraps each character in a hidden bookmark with the required id.

How does it work? Bookmarks are hidden within the word doc.

Teaching Digital Approaches to Special Collections: TEI as a Mode of Primary Source Engagement in Undergraduate and MLIS Pedagogies Philip Palmer (PI UCLA Clark Library) and Charlotte Nunes (formerly of Southwestern U, now at Lafayette College) Lizzie Johnson Papers at Southwestern U Special Collections assignment had students work in pairs to transcribe and TEI- encode a single letter: http://bit.ly/2lSuAuR treating transcription and encoding as separate processes: requires repeated reading and re-reading of material slowing down, encoding as close reading student blog posts: http://bit.ly/2ljlESz AND http://bit.ly/2krs9mM One student remarked that the transcription and electronic editing process forced her team to slow down and really think about the text, which lead to additional questions about the document: who wrote the letter and why? who are the specific people and places mentioned in the letter?

UCLA Project training a UCLA MLIS student to transcribe and encode a C17th recipe manuscript paleographical training and text-encoding training, custom TEI schema work will contribute transcription to the Early Modern Recipes Online Collective (EMROC) project, the Folger s Early Modern Manuscripts Online (EMMO) project, and become part of the Clark s MSS digitization project (CLIR Hidden Collections) transcription online: http://bit.ly/2lStpeT

TOME (Toolkit of Material Evidence): Tracing Readers, Owners, and Users of Books Laura Aydelotte (PI UPenn Kislak Center) and Philip Palmer (UCLA Clark Library) TOME is an online toolkit for the study of provenance and book use that combines definitions of key terms with illustrative images, relevant online and print resources, and contextual essays Why do we need this resource? Thousands of digitized rare books online, but limited pedagogical apparatus around those digital objects. When a student views a physical or digitized rare book, how does she learn about unfamiliar features such as endleaf inscriptions, binding styles, and manuscript marginalia? Built in Scalar: supportive of multimedia, semantic data model, non-linear structure www.tometoolkit.org (additional content from Laura forthcoming)

Current Categories of Terms All terms explained by images, scope notes, related definitions, and references Exploring the Book pathway through the site: Roles: individual roles related to the ownership and use of books Places: specific sites of the book s physical architecture Questions: specific questions someone might ask of a book s marks of provenance and use
