2023-08-24 Outreach WG Agenda and Notes

Announcements

Welcome to newest members:

• Jack O'Malley, Frick Collection
• Omo Oaiya, WACREN
• Lesley Frew, Old Dominion University

jk: welcome Omo (and Jack and Lesley in absentia)
oo: very glad to be here and to represent the West and Central African Research Network

rf: Internet Archive lawsuit setback regarding controlled digital lending during the pandemic; Smithsonian is very interested because it relies on IA; about one third of our accessions are harvested from the web
rf: I will be at iPRES in September; the CfP for IIPC is out, and IIPC has approached SI to do a satellite event; SI looking to be a site for IIPC in 2026, this could apply to ARKs and tie in with possible ODU work

two more ARK tutorial proposals submitted and one poster (IDW)

Action items from last time

• digging up video playlists related to ARKs (jj)
• creating blog templates to speed up blog content creation (rf)

rf: blog template sent out as Word doc; structured as a set of questions to ask organizations; could start with new members to the Outreach group, maybe target new ARK orgs; we could ask these questions periodically
mg: want to echo Rick's suggestion of starting within our group, and later the broader ARK Alliance; don't think the distinction between new and old is so important
rf: are you thinking email only?
mg: yes, as a first round, since I for one don't have time to set up interviews; again should start with our friends within ARKA
rf: I think that's right
jk: agreed

jj: as for the video playlist, I did google searches for videos, eliminated false positives, set up alerts to be notified of new videos; so far just looked in youtube for content, but could extend to vimeo and other platforms; only issues were some sound quality and poor captions
rf: could mine the video producers for blog posts
jj: my current video list is pasted into zoom chat:

New expressions of interest in ARKA and discussion

• outreach opportunities
• strategy for 2024

rf: for 2024, we should nail down our social media strategy
    wikidata is huge and getting a ton of interest -- we could prioritize it
jj: i'd like a more clear articulation of the ARK value proposition
    if i were to put together a blog post
    my personal goal and group goal ** offer to **
rf: should figure out a way to measure how effective is our outreach
    eg, how long does it take for people attending a tutorial to get to using arks
    I'll try to bring more thoughts on this to the meeting
