Waching daily May 4 2017

Hi guys!

Today we have an unboxing and review of one of the most interesting budget smartphone

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer

Blackview

launched its next mobile phone called Blackview A9 Pro.

It is another dual-camera smartphone with mid-range specs and Samsung sensor on the

back.

The smartphone comes in a big enough square box.

Inside the box is a smartphone which is extracted with a convenient tab.

As you can see

there are two sensors on rear panel

But we'll talk about this later

Now let's see the complete packaging of the smartphone.

Under the cover we see the charger

USB Type-C cable

Headphones and user manual

In general

the smartphone has a standard package with everything you need

plus headphones

The new smartphone is perfect for those people

who like compact size

A9 Pro features with 5-inch display with 720p resolution

and 2.5D curved glass on top

With a 720p display and pixel density of 294 ppi the mobile phone is still a good bet

as the HD screen is sure to offer accurate colour reproduction and contrasts

that make viewing fun

You need to note

that smartphone is low-end and it costs lesser than many other phones with similar features

But its main feature is Android 7.0 Nougat which is the newest version available!

The smartphone allows you to select the navigation bar.

that is, the control buttons under the screen.

The smartphone works on processor MediaTek MTK6737.

It provides average performance

Considering the fact

that several smartphone makers have transitioned to speeds above 2 GHz the processor could

have been made different

However

the quad-core processor promises efficient multi-tasking capability.

The phone has 2GB RAM and has an internal storage space of 16GB.

So, if you are a gamer or a vigorous app downloader.

you have plenty of space to install those.

Don't worry.

Storing plenty of pictures and songs won't be a problem

as the external memory is expandable by 32 GB with microSD cards

As we said earlier

Blackview A9 has dual rear camera

It features an impressive 8 megapixels and 0.3 megapixels dual rear camera

with SAMSUNG sensors and LED flash

that is sure to simulate the human vision.

Also smartphone is powered by an impressive 3000mAh lithium ion battery

which is quite good in this price range

Among additional features are:

fingerprint sensor for unlocking

so you can be sure

that no one can read your messages

or take your phone without your permission

Also

smartphone offers USB Type-C. It provides faster data transmission.

Also

it is a lot safer than types of ports and is sure to safeguard you against potential

accidental shocks

Blackview A9 Pro is really interesting smartphone

especially for its price

about $100.

Below the video

you can find useful information

and where to buy cheaper

Thanks for watching!

Bertrand Piccard's vision for renewable energies rewarded by President François Hollande - Duration: 2:35.

The President of the Republic

We are gathered here this evening for

Bertrand Piccard

Who is an explorer

an inventor, an inspirer.

And as such, it was about time that we not only met him,

but saluted him.

With Solar Impulse, you demonstrated

that renewable energies could make planes fly.

And you were thus able to inspire the COP 21

There were no better examples,

no better demonstrations,

Than to showcase this plane.

You were capable of making it such that the environment of our planet

could be changed through your own intervention.

And you made the leaders of world grow

You have not, as your father and grandfather,

only looked at the Earth,

you have changed it.

It's for this beautiful vision of progress

that the French Republic wished to distinguish you this evening.

In the name of the French republic, we make you an officer of the Legion of Honor

What characterises all of us here,

is our faith in the absolute necessity

to undertake measures to protect ouir planet.

Today, it is the whole world

that we must liberate from its dependance upon polluting energy sources

For its lack of respect toward nature

and for its lack of empathy for life in all its forms.

This decoration, Mr. President,

is the most beautiful reward that you could make to me

Or that you could give to this team

Above all, you encourage me

You encourage all of us

to continue

On my side, I have set out to bring to COP 24

1,000 profitable solutions able to protect the environment

In order to succeed, the Solar Impulse Foundation

is in the process of establishing the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions

I am already hearing the voices of those that think it is impossible.

What a motivation to succeed.

Piper Knit Breeches by SmartPak - Low Rise Knee Patch Review - Duration: 1:51.

KELCIE: Hi, I'm Kelcie.

I work in Marketing, and today I'm going to be reviewing the Piper Knit Breeches by SmartPak

in a low-rise, knee patch style.

I absolutely love how comfortable these breeches are.

I was a little skeptical about trying a knit fabric, but these have yet to disappoint me.

These breeches are made of a 4-way stretch fabric, so they're really comfortable when

you're moving in the saddle.

The silicone grips on the knee patch are great, because they add a little extra stick when

you're riding, and they don't leave a mark on your saddle.

I'm personally a little picky about the rise of my breeches, so I really like that these

offer a low-rise with the 2-inch waistband.

What makes these breeches unique to me is the combination of the fabric and the silicone

grip.

I think they work really well together.

I've had these breeches for a few months now, and I wear them pretty frequently, and they've

held up beautifully from the start.

They're really easy to keep clean, and they're really comfortable.

Some really great features of these breeches include the functional pockets.

I like to put my phone in it when I'm walking around the barn or a couple of extra treats

for my horse.

I also really like that these breeches have a Euro-seat, and the sock bottoms make it

so they don't bunch underneath my boot.

I think these breeches would be perfect for anyone who is looking for just a quality,

everyday breech.

They're going to hold up really well, whether you ride multiple times a week or you're in

the saddle for hours at a time.

Caring for these breeches is really easy.

You can just wash them on a cold cycle with a mild detergent, and then hang to dry.

You want to try to avoid putting them in the dryer, because of the silicone grips.

Because these breeches offer such a great amount of stretch, when it comes to sizing

most riders can size down.

My other pair of Pipers are a size 30, and I got these in a 28.

Once you get these breeches, if you try them on and they're not quite right, you can always

exchange them with free return shipping for the right size.

I'm Kelcie, and the Piper Knit Breeches by SmartPak in the low-rise, knee patch style

are an essential part of my riding wardrobe.

Why mentorship is key for college women pursuing STEM careers - Duration: 5:32.

Younger generations were often told

people go do it you can do it be

independent you can break through the

ceiling on your own right and sometimes

we forget you need to to reach out and

even though things are changing that the

environment is different it's more

diverse than it was 10 years ago it's more

diverse than it was 20 years ago

mentorship is still important but I want

to understand how important is it and

how should individuals go about seeking

mentors and advisors to help inform them

on just navigating the daily ins and

outs of their own jobs and industry

abroad, Abby. I'm a fan of a phrase

called "having a mentoring moment." Their formal mentoring

relationships and I think some of the

women here are some really good stories

about that but we had a VP at Verizon,

Vicki Boston, and this was something that

she promoted if you don't have a formal

mentor if you didn't become part of a

formal mentoring relationship you can

actually become a mentor of someone

without them knowing that they are your

mentor and I have used that throughout

my career you know there are times when

I was part of a mentoring program was

excellent there are times when I wasn't

but I chose to study be an understudy of

the leader above me and that exempt that

story I gave about the vice president

who wanted me to you know this staff job

that would give me all this networking

and exposure opportunity I decided that

he would be my mentor he didn't know it

I didn't go to him and say hey can you

be my mentor but I decided to study him

because I had access I saw how he

operated in meetings I saw how you lead

I saw how you measured people how we

inspire them so I would just like to

throw that out there as an opportunity

until you get into a formal mentoring

relationship those mentoring moments you

can actually gain a lot from that as

well. Very interesting, Amy? Yeah I would

agree with that I think over my career

had very few formal mentors and I think

that you know there's mentors

that come and go because you need

different things that

points in your career or different

things based on where you are and where

you want to go. You know someone once

said to me don't don't hang around with

the people who are your peers hang

around with the people you want to be

you know and so it goes to Abby's point

about looking up you know so if you've

got someone at that VP level at that

next level whatever it is and that's who

you want to become that's where you want

to get to those are the folks that you can

study that you can observe and it's

really you know taking something from

that it doesn't have to be formal and I

think that's for me the way I've done it

you know I absolutely have a group of

people that I mentor at people I've

mentored for several years and sometimes

we come and sometimes we go and

sometimes we connect regularly and then

we might put it off because they

don't need me at this moment but for me

I've done the same thing and I've done a

lot of the mentoring moments that

Abby has talked about just observing

different people and taking something

from those relationships of either who I

want to become or who I don't want to

become you know that that doesn't fit me.

Absolutely and Natalie you have a

formal mentorship program and there are

some people that are just lost and

they really need a mentor how do they

approach someone and say I've been

watching you you've given me a lot of

great coaching can you be my mentor how does

someone build the confidence to do that

and then what does mentorship and entail

like what are the expectations there?

When I think about my

experiences and why I felt it was

important to actually develop a program

within my organization you know so for

me and I would go to many different

conferences will have kickoff meetings

and you know there are all these great

dynamic speakers them like that I want

to do that one day you know and I will

just reach out you know I would reach

out after the conference either go and

introduce myself and say hey you know

I'm Natalie and this is what I'm about

here's where I want to go can we have a

conversation one day and oftentimes it's

not necessarily about asking or

expecting for anything it's just can I

have a conversation with you you know

maybe you can give me some insight on

what some of your experiences have been

so in the mentoting program that I have

that's exactly what I'm promoting so not

only talking about you know you

your personal life right so what's

motivating you to be here in this moment

why are you here why are you doing the

things that you do what's going to

motivate you to take that next step and

you know here are some things that I

experienced here's some advice that I

would give you so if anything is more of

you know just having a platform or a

place where someone can ask those tough

questions whereas you know if it was

solely up to you to go out and make it

happen maybe you're too shy to make that

happen but if I give you a platform

where there's a formalized program that

allows you to get that out and get some

practice so wherever you go next you can

actually apply that that's really what

the program you know is about and like I

said since there are so many employees

that are entering the workspace you know

my organization know at least forty

percent of the population is a

millennial and like I said high

expectations with a great organization

and this is a great organization and you

should have high expectations but let me

give you a platform and show you how to

navigate the space because it is very

different from maybe what you learned in

college or maybe what it's been you know

ten years ago.

Advancing Accessibility through Libraries - Duration: 41:30.

Good morning everyone.

Look at you, up for that first session.

You've had your first cup of coffee.

Thank you for joining us.

My name is Laura Wood and I'm going to kick off our presentation.

Before I do, a couple of words.

They are recording this session.

The Q and A, however, will not be recorded.

It's just the audio of the first part of the presentation that they're trying to

capture and the slides.

To my left, your right, Jody Combs, who is from the University of Vanderbilt, and also

working with ARL more intensively these days.

And, our invisible co-presenter, Beth Namachchivaya, from the University of Illinois.

Unfortunately, had to send her regrets.

She is ill and was not cleared for travel.

We are quite grateful she is not sharing with us at this time, although we wish she were

here for the presentation.

We do have notes from her so we will try our best to represent the content and the update

on her project.

So, jumping in, the issue of accessibility is not a new one at all.

Most of us are familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA, from 1990.

People, I find that people may be less aware of the Rehabilitation Act that President Nixon

signed into law and in Section 504 of that, extended civil rights to people with disabilities

and provided a lot of opportunities in education and anywhere federal funds are involved.

Section 508 required that electronic and information technology developed by the federal government

be accessible to people with disabilities, in 1973.

So, they were fairly prescient, and we're still trying to figure out how to do that.

As scholarly content made its way into digital devices, electronic versions and online, colleges

and universities have been adoption these and finding that accessibility issues are

a major stumbling block, leading to lawsuits and typically settlement agreements.

These agreements are a trove of information and have served as a startling kick in the

pants for some institutions.

About two weeks ago, many of you have already seen, the 2017 NMC Horizon report on libraries

was released.

It helpfully identifies trends for the industry as well as challenges.

Accessibility of library resources and services is called out this year as one of those challenges.

T he good news is that NMC has labeled this challenge as "solvable."

It's a challenge we understand and know how to solve and that's, I think, where

we come in today.

There are many projects.

These will be just three that are trying to work on how we do that solving…how we chip

away at that challenge.

I will discuss accessible instructional materials or AIM.

Jody will talk about video captioning and I'll share a few words on behalf of Beth

regarding Daisy Files and the HATHI Trust digital library.

I do want to spend a few minutes in the beginning talking about the scope and nature of this

issue just in case some of you are also looking for some entry into the issues of accessibility.

I hope you can read this in the back.

According to the US government accountability office, 10.8% of students enrolled in post-secondary

institutions in 2008 had a disability.

While dated, these seem to be holding and are the best comprehensive statistics I could

find that array this way.

This represents more than 2 million students in post-secondary institutions across the

United States.

Students with disabilities share demographic distribution with the general population of

post-secondary students in terms of race, age, and schools attended.

So, this table shows you the categories of disabilities that have been tracked and how

that 10.8% population is distributed across those categories.

It's important to note here that learning disabilities is by far the largest population

group and that's where most of the growth has come from.

Statistics on disabilities in higher education are also based on self-identification by students

and so are widely believed to be underestimates, which is only logical.

We just doing know how dramatically their underestimated.

88% of institutions report enrolled students with disabilities and 99% of public institutions,

and 100% of medium and large institutions report students enrolled.

So, accessibility is an extensive and relatively urgent issue in higher education.

It also helps to talk about what do we mean when we say 'accessible'?

The federal government has used this language in many of the settlement agreements.

The repetition of it over and over again serves as a signal that this is not an evolving concept

but a clear expectation of compliance.

Accessible means a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the

same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without

disability in an equally effective and equally integrated manner with substantially equivalent

ease of use.

The person with a disability must be able to obtain the information as fully, equally,

and independently as a person without a disability.

Although this might not result in identical ease of use compared to that of persons without

disabilities, it still much ensure equal opportunity to the educational benefits and opportunities

afforded by the technology and equal treatment in the use of such technology.

Now, a basic element of trying to meet accessibility is the availability of required readings for

a class.

So, I'm going to start to talk about my project update, which deals with that material.

We've been working on an IMLS title grant, which was titled, Repository Services for

Accessible Course Content.

The core members of my steering committee on this project were Jamie Axelrod, Stephen

Downie, Mike Furlough and John Unsworth.

Major help came from David Wedaman, who is also a co-author on the White Paper, and from

Katrina Fenlon, who really did yeoman's work on the research we did, the focus groups we

conducted, and then the data analysis.

She is the first author on the paper that was published.

So, what is accessible instruction materials?

In order to provide accessible learning materials, institutions navigate a variety of sources

to see if digital formats already exist.

They also request electronic copies directly from publishers or through a mediated service.

Some publishers are relatively responsive to requests but others aren't.

Response rates range from one day to two weeks or more and there is no obligation for publishers

to be timely with responses.

As a last resort, a school may scan works from print, some of them do that a lot because

they don't want to wait.

Regardless of the original source, a digital file will then need to undergo significant

reformatting before delivery to the student.

Numerous institutions may be seeking the same text at any given time but they have no mechanism

for sharing.

Here you might think about best-selling textbooks and how often they would be used across the

country and if one of those is made accessible where it might also be needed in an accessible

format.

The work that goes into a single file may represent many hours of labor and the quality

of the results vary depending on the school's resources.

As those electronic files are created and provided to students, the disabilities resources

and services department must wrestle with a significant file management problem.

The files need to be secured for the sake of copyright.

But, most courses are taught multiple times with some re-use of common texts.

The ability to securely store, describe, and reuse these reformatted materials is necessary

on every college campus.

In our planning project, a major component was sitting down with disability services

staff to better understand how they create and manage accessible course content.

We held focus groups at the AHED Conference in 2015.

Ahead is the Association of Higher Education and Disabilities.

The paper that was published through the proceedings of the ASIST annual conference and the White

Paper we very recently released, both detail more of the findings from that research.

It is not the number of students or the volume of requests as much as the nature of the request

that determines the amount of effort and funding required to make materials accessible.

Focus group participants were very clear that there were certain disciplines and content

types that are exceedingly difficult and resource intensive.

STEM disciplines are by far most difficult and highest in demand.

The common use of equations, images, charts, and graphs make accessibility requests very

challenging.

Images need text descriptions far beyond an image caption that might already be provided.

Charts and graphs may need to be depicted tactilely for some students.

Staff may need to solicit help from the teaching faculty or graduate assistants to create those

descriptions and interpretations of the material for the student.

The second most often mentioned area of difficulty was foreign language materials, especially

when involving additional alphabets.

Furthermore, images, tables, multimedia may need special attention for conversion and

adaptation.

Music, theology, and professional school disciplines also present extra challenges.

Non-text formats are resource intensive, such as video and audio.

Focus group participants conveyed the need for flexibility and creativity in order to

provide disability accommodations.

They are a very flexible and very creative bunch.

Our White Paper describes in some detail additional factors such as the existing landscape of

resources and the behavior and practices of publishers.

Frankly, I decided at this hour of the day its too depressing to start that way.

But, they are important factors.

I hope you will peruse the White Paper for more information.

It's available through the links on the project-briefing page for this presentation.

Overall, it's very hard to quantify the cost associated with current ways schools

create and distribute accessible instructional materials.

But, I would like to offer and example for context.

One state institution that we know of, it has a population of roughly 28 thousand students,

the institution uses a mixture of full time staff, student workers, and third-party vendors.

They remediate, on average, 1,200 print items, and caption 1,500 multi-media items every

year.

In total, the annual budge for those processes is around 100 thousand dollars.

I believe that doesn't include some of the staffing costs for that single university

for that single year.

And that excludes any braille production, which varies significantly from year to year.

When those braille costs come in, they can have real spikes in terms of costs for people.

For a single student requesting an accessible version of an assigned text for class, accessibility

typically refers to a version of the text that can be or has been manipulated to meet

the student's need.

Whether the student will use the copy electronically, such as with screen reader software or other

assistive technologies, or needs a fixed version, like large-text or braille, an accessible

file will be a digital copy of a text with markup of headers and other formatting features,

alternative text to describe images and graphs, notifications of page-breaks and marginalia

and so on.

In short, the accessible file replicates the structure of the document in addition to the

content of the text.

I can't help but talk a little bit about the legal landscape here.

Our schools are prudent in attempts to mitigate and reduce risk.

There are two fundament legal areas that drive college and university behavior with accessible

course content, copyright infringement on the one hand, and civil rights violations

on the other.

Many schools remain concerned that the act of simply creating accessible version of course

materials is a violation of copyright and a legal liability.

The legal basis for providing reformatted and accessible course content and services

in libraries and universities is recently, strongly affirmed by the US Court of Appeals,

second circuit.

Ruled in Authors' Guild v. HathiTrust that, "the doctrine of fair use allows the Libraries,

to provide full digital access to copyrighted works to their print disabled patrons."

Through this ruling, the court removed considerable ambiguity regarding the rights of schools

and, for the first time, made clear that authorized entities can make copies for print disabled

users.

It is important to note, however, that the court was specifically addressing the provision

of works digitized, on mass, from library collections, not newly produced textbooks.

Further, although the logic of the ruling could be extended to other formats, such as

audio and video materials, the ruling doesn't specifically address their reproduction.

Nevertheless, the second circuit ruling should reassure libraries and educational institutions

they can lawfully make and provide specialized copies of educational materials for their

eligible students.

And it has encouraged many to expand their services, which is a good thing.

Libraries and their parent institutions must be attentive to numerous elements of potential

violation of copyrighted status with printed published scholarly works in media.

But in the context of accessible course materials, protection of copyright owners might take

a backseat to a greater area of legal risk.

The potential of a lawsuit or investigation for failure to provide adequate accommodation

for students with disabilities by the office of Civil Rights, by the Department of Justice,

or by individuals and advocacy agencies.

The office of Civil Rights is focused on the availability of alternate formats of materials

or other accommodations to provide access when a student need arises.

They have stipulated that the timeliness and ease of use of those materials is a critical

factor in ensuring equity.

Most importantly, institutions should be considering accessibility before an individual need may

arise.

This includes the holdings of the institution's library and all of the services it offers.

Libraries need to be able to provide equal access to the educational opportunities and

benefits of the library, all the collections, and all the services.

Despite government expectations, there is little evidence of widespread proactive efforts

by our schools to ensure readiness for requests.

While there's increased attention in the literature of libraries around accessibility, relatively

little is found around course materials or general collections or other types of services.

Through the combined pressures of liability, to demonstrate ADA compliance, and reassurances

of safe harbor through the doctrine of fair use, really makes this an excellent time for

further action to address this growing need.

Like it or not, there's at least one digital library on your campus that could use some

help.

Disability resources and services staff needs help with storage, metadata, multiple formats

and discovery.

Armed with the research of our project, we have a really, fairly clear, understanding

of the needs of the community so we're trying to move ahead with a project to create repository

series.

This will be a specification driven process.

We're now evaluating platform technology options in light of the awareness of needs to see

what is our best option going forward.

These are the current collaborators for the next part of this project as we seek our next

round of support.

Each one of these schools has identified participants from both the disability resource services

area and the library.

So, the project intends to build collaboration with the institutions while it also builds

collaboration across institutions.

We're hardly the first to pose file sharing.

Various groups and organizations have attempted this approach previously in areas around accessibility.

However, we're finding that as the population grows, the technology's improving and the

legal environment shifts.

It now is a better time and a good time for us to focus on sharing.

This is my favorite quote from our focus groups.

It gives me motivation when I feel like this is an impossible task to keep it going.

So, before I turn it over to Jody, one more point.

There's much more work to do.

The Horizon report says it very well…

"Libraries can pave the way for their campuses by working with other institutional stakeholders

to implement policies that ensure equality of opportunity for disabled students, faculty

and scholars."

In addition to our analysis of the environment, our White Paper includes as set of recommendations

directed towards libraries.

One, directed towards university and college administration, and one directed towards publishers.

We can always hope.

Any development of repository services is simply one tool in a very complex environment.

We're calling on libraries to take seriously the information needs of students with disabilities.

For those willing to connect with their disability services staff, we provide an appendix with

suggested topics for discussion and questions for working together to develop new service

workflow's.

For libraries interested in a more internal review of how the library handles accessibility,

there's an appendix of reflection question and topics to support making improvements

in your own environment.

By analyzing the local environment at a single institution, the library can create a set

of priorities for action, which will best assist their community and enable librarians

to be a bigger part and a better, stronger part of the community puzzle.

Our work has to be proactive.

It has to be collaborative and we really need to be persistent.

With that, Jody's turn.

Waypoints for a Roadmap

Okay, so I've been working with the accessibility side of things for ARL on the captioning project

starting in January and came into this conversation almost immediately as a pre-proposal was being

developed for a larger grant.

As part of that conversation, along with a lot of conversations with many of you.

I think I've probably talked to half you on the phone at some point or another, or

in a conference call.

I've been trying to put together, you know, pieces and parts of a puzzle that might lead

to a roadmap for project Plan.

Also, trying to spin up as fast as possible as far as where the state of the art is for

captioning, as it sits in this larger context of accessible materials.

So, I've started categorizing certain aspects of the conversations that I've had with

you, and put them together into the next slide, which is sort of way points for the roadmap.

Its not quite a roadmap.

I'm sorry its so text dense, but I didn't want to go through multiple, multiple slides.

These are areas where we've had some really fruitful, I think, conversations that have

helped me understand what might work, what's feasible and what's not.

The first part had to do with the discoverability issue.

One of the things that I think frustrates all of us is building a tool or service that

nobody uses because they can't find it.

That led me to questions around Laura's project about what kinds of metadata standards

exist for accessibility.

There have, in fact, been a fairly number of projects aimed at this, starting around

2011, really taking traction around 2013.

There is a W3C standard that includes accessible tagging and there are going to be slides here

with links to this material but I didn't want to waste our time together today going

over each piece and part.

We can do that in the Q and A, if you like.

Zeroing in on captioning, version one of that standard, which was developed by schema.org

and then adopted, has one tag for captioning and it is captioned—that's it.

Not quality of the caption, how the caption was generated, not whether it has error correction

or anything like that done to it.

So, one could hope for more articulate metadata but it's a start.

That means we wouldn't have to start from zero.

There is much more tagging associated with other types of accessible formats that I think

merits some revisiting.

A lot of this work came out of funding by the Gates Foundation through, I don't know

how to pronounce this, but it's A-11-Y metadata, which was a workgroup that you'll have a

link to.

So, the discoverability issue, I think, is one that is feasible, fungible, manageable,

needing a little additional work.

The next think I wanted to look at were the tools and technologies for captioning and

so have spent a fair amount of time asking and begging people to test things for me or

inform me about what they are currently using, what's working, what's clunky, what doesn't

work, and what gaps are there where we could maybe ask for better tools.

And, have played a little bit…have talked with YouTube about their automated captioning

process, which, by the way, has gotten better, which is not to say…the bar was pretty low

to begin with.

So, it's a comparative thing.

But, I would encourage you, if you're interested, to have a look again.

I've had some of our folks test it out on short videos and the accuracy rate seems to

be around 90-95%.

And, you can go back and do error correction or enhancement.

The challenge for automated captioning, of course, has to do with descriptions of sound

that are not words.

So, if there's an explosion in the background, someone has to type in and machines aren't

terribly good at figuring that out yet, though maybe eventually they will be.

The availability of desktop software has also increased as has commercial providers of,

of providing caption that many of you use.

I've played around myself with a couple of desktop things and I'm one, impressed by

how friendly they generally are but two, how labor-intensive of a process it is.

This is something that cries out for crowd sourcing, I think.

I think there are folks that would spend a couple of hours on a weekend doing error correction

if the tools were available for it.

The intellectual property considerations around video, I have some familiarity with having

an association with the Vanderbilt Television News Archive and lots of very friendly conversations

with legal council for national network news organizations.

Every time they get a new vice-president, I usually get a call to say, "What are you

doing with our stuff?" and "How dare you."

And "Oh, there is actually a section of the copyright law that allows us to do this."

So, dealing with the intellectual property issues, I think, a dicy thing, particularly,

as we first imagined we'd be storing video with embedded captioning in it.

But, in conversations since I've come on board, we thought about not storing video

with embedded captioning but just in the caption files in multiple formats.

Players, video players, including web-based HTML5 players, are able to merge the caption

file with the video at the point that it's being streamed.

And this would do two things for us, we think.

One, reduce the liability issue.

Obviously, I don't think we would be storing captioned files that were already on sale

by a publisher somewhere.

And two, would greatly limit the storage problem that video tends to present.

Caption files are small.

Text files, storing them would be a trivial matter.

Working with partners for Laura's project might be a way to deal with the issue of storage

and making them discoverable and marking them up and that sort of thing.

So, the intellectual property considerations, I think, are, we think, are also something

that we can work with.

Interesting side here…when I talked with YouTube about…I mean, clearly, they have

this problem, right?

They have developed a service called 'Content ID' where, if I upload your video and you

discover it, you can claim it as yours.

And effectively, any ad revenue that's generated by that item goes to you, not me.

In other words, I'm doing free labor for you if you're a publisher, for example.

And, I'm not sure that it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell publishers, "If you haven't,

if you don't have a captioned version of this, we're going to place it up into a shared

repository, lets have a conversation about whether we just give it to you or somehow

or another work out an arrangement where you benefit and therefore its not a question of

liability but a question of a business arrangement."

I know that's unheard of, but, you know, give it a try.

I've also spent a fair amount of time looking at the landscape of commercial providers.

As I say, I met and talked with YouTube.

Many of you use 3playmedia, I'm sure.

If you have this service on your campus, there fairly economical ways to have captions generated

if you want to.

At least one university has a site-wide subscription to deal with this issue of accommodation with

replay.

So, effectively its on-demand.

I may not be the fastest way, the most prompt way to get things to students but at least

its there.

And no, it is not cheap.

So this might be something that many of us going together might be able to look at.

Lots of you are interested, obviously, or you wouldn't be here, but there's a very

large list, growing list, of universities that are interested in dealing with this.

Partly, I think, because of compliance issues but also partly because it's the right thing

to do.

Many times, these issues are being dealt with as compliance problems but they're also part

and parcel of the diversity and inclusion movements that are sweeping our campuses.

This is a diverse…it's a diversity question.

This is a group of people with a different perspective that bring different abilities

and different views of the conversation to the table.

And as institutions of higher education, that is, after all, part of our mission.

Maybe a central part.

I have looked at architectural considerations and talked with many of you about whether

a centralized repository is the preferred route, ala Hathi or one of the others.

Or, whether we would want to have a linked set of repositories, possibly piggybacking

on the institutional repository structure.

I don't think there's any clear direction on that other than the answer seems to be

both.

It would be good to have a centralized, easily findable repository, but the ability to link

out to repositories around the country.

Types of materials of interest is also another question…how am I doing on time?

Okay.

As we think of the issues of what kinds of things go into a repository, at least initially,

some kind of prioritization might be in order.

Whether those are items that are, for example, a part of our collection that need to be captioned

or their instructional videos that are of general interest to many of us or they are

associational webinars.

One of the things I asked about the PowerPoint today was, "Will it be captioned?" and

the answer is, "yes.

It will be captioned."

So, you know, those kinds of things that are widespread in general interest, I think, are

natural targets for this kind of activity.

The business model and sustainability question, I really haven't made a lot of progress

on but it will have to be asked and answered at some point.

Grant funding will go someway and I think this is an eminently fundable area.

In the long run, we have to think through the issue of how do you keep it going into

the future.

And the same, I haven't made a lot of progress on identifying possible funding for pilot

projects.

I will, though, say there are a number of foundations that have expressed interest in

the past on this kind of work—Gates Foundation is one that did the metadata schema.org thing.

And, so I'm kind of confident that those things can be turned up.

And, I think I'll stop there and we'll wait.

I hope we'll have some good question and we can have a conversation.

The next two slides, or maybe there are more, are items that will be part of this deck that

you'll have access too.

These are just things that I've researched that you might want to visit if you haven't

already.

And, is there one more.

Yeah.

Here's the standards—that the A-11-Y metadata.

I was very pleased to find this.

I mean, this is a route by which tagged material makes its way into the large search engines.

Laura: Jody and I flipped a coin and decided that

I do a better Beth imitation, so I'll go it my best shot.

So, the University of Illinois has been working with HathiTrust Digital Library and their

ultimate goal is to develop a scalable approach to scanning, generating metadata and DAISY

files and making digital accessible text accessible to print disabled reader through the HathiTrust

Digital Library.

The pilot partners are the library and the digital resources in educational services—they

refer to them as DRES—unit of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the HathiTrust

Digital Library.

The initial goal is to develop and test and evaluate a workflow and access method for

the University of Illinois to produce digitized texts, metadata, and accessible digital text

(DAISY files), ingest them into the HathiTrust Digital Library, make them accessible to proxies

for download on behalf of print-disabled users.

Our initial goal was to have a pilot workflow outlined by December 1, 2016, so we could

put a test volume through the steps.

This would be utilized to have a more significant pilot of about 50 volumes ready to launch

in 2017.

The pilot would be used to refine the service, develop a more accurate cost model, and launch

a full program for late 2017/early 2018.

With responsibilities, the University of Illinois Library agreed to fund the acquisitions needed,

the associated Internet archive scanning, and the staff resources to work on the HathiTrust

ingest process.

DRES has assumed responsibility for generating the DAISY files, working with the JPEG 2000

images and OCR generated from the Internet archive scans.

So, to date, with scanning and OCR production, using Internet archives, to date the library

chose to scan the contents so it would mesh well with the Internet archives existing operating

and invoicing procedure.

In order to do so, the content had to be placed online.

If we want the images to be cropped and OCR processed, which we do, they need to be uploaded

and derived.

After discussing with staff from Internet archive, the recommendation was to load this

content into Internet Archives print-disabled collection, which is not findable, as it consists

of in-copyright content.

This interferes with Illinois' internet archive workflow the least and subsequently

would allow the internet archive to host and share the JPEG 2000 files for those items

so that with the login, DRES can go in a download the JPEG 2 files and manipulate them as needed

to create the proper OCR DAISY content.

This removes the added need for setting up shared server workspace and keeping it updated.

For availability in restricted Internet archive collections, from there, Internet archive

and I, Beth, decided that designating this content in the future as DRES would entail

the scanners uploading it to an access-restricted collection, which content appears only to

users who have the URL and proper permissions through an Internet archive log-in, which

they've made for preservation services to be shared with the cataloging and metadata

unit and eventually with DRES.

Following this, conversations with Hathi about how Hathi could inject this content resulted

in the solution of having Internet archive link the UIUC and HathiTrust accounts and

grant Hathi Internet archive with equal permissions to access and manipulate the disability resources

educational services collection.

The HathiTrust metadata access, Hathi was subsequently able to get this working in their

end and found they were able to get content working with their ingest tools in their development

environment, which means that once there's metadata for it in the HathiTrust Zephyr metadata

system, it can then be fully ingested.

On Illinois's part, we have been able to download and modify the metadata for a test

item.

In theory, we are on the cusp of being able to fully ingest the content.

T he final step for the pilot is to ensure that this content is fully accessible to a

proxy user.

For the future, the HathiTrust intends to start developing a workflow for ingesting

the metadata and making the DAISY files accessible to proxy users sometime in 2017.

From the usability end, our applied health sciences librarian is to focus on how these

items are used from a patron perception.

HathiTrust proxy system, in essence, allows her, as a proxy for the print-disabled patron,

to download the full PDF text from Hathi.

In future development, Hathi may also place a DAISY download under it, similar to what

Internet archive offers.

Their DAISY files are automatically generated but future unacceptable OCR quality for the

Illinois DRES level needs.

Where to store DAISY files and how to make the available to proxy's who need to download

them for print-disabled users is on the agenda for HathiTrust to consider in the future.

There is strong interests among the big ten academic alliance in seeing Hathi develop

the capability to ingest daisy files, OCR and metadata associated with the accessible

text; and to make this information available within the HathiTrust proxy service.

HathiTrust is clearly interested in working towards this, resources permitting.

Access to this content has the potential to be one of several federated components that

support more streamlined access to text and media for users with disabilities.

She lists here members of the project team with some of their contact information and

you can see, as she has mentioned, this is bringing people in from across the university

to work together.

So, now, we have time for questions.

Kate Middleton And Prince William's Nursery Treasures For Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana - Duration: 2:24.

The world and the royal family welcomed Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana last week. The curiosity

factor is incredibly high with the new royal princess, especially since both Kate Middleton

and Prince William have opted to keep the details of her birth close to the chest. However,

Star Magazine has a new report about all the nursery treasures that await Princess Charlotte

when she gets home, including some fun baby knick knacks.

For example, there is reportedly a Silver Enamel Block Back from Pottery Barn that will

put you out of $40. Then, there�s Cetaphil gentle baby lotion, to keep the baby�s skin

smooth and supple and rash free. There�s also a Stokke Convertible Sleepi Crib for

$799, because nothing but the best baby crib for the royal princess.

In addition to the crib, there�s a four pack of Warm Swaddles for $75, which are patterned

clothes used to wrap up the baby. Then, we have distractions like the Giggle Flower Mobile

[for $40] and the Land of Nod Wooden Baby Key Set [for $10]. And in what is definitely

the most ostentatious �royal� choice, there�s a Restoration Hardware Gilt Canopy

Bed Crown for $769, which is literally a crown for the bed. I guess their real crowns aren�t

enough. Some of those items make complete sense for

a royal baby, and others just seem like ridiculously overpriced and frivolous expenses. But we

are talking about the royals here, aren�t we? These people are on vacation for 80% of

the year, and frivolous and overpriced don�t mean the same thing to them as they mean to

us plebeians. What do you guys think about all the various

knick knacks supposedly awaiting Princess Charlotte at her royal nursery? Do you think

the royals have actually bought any of these items, or this based on pure speculation?
