Jordan. The winning project focused on an Iron Age (10th c. BCE) copper production center called Khirbat en-Nahas. The students created a VR model where you can visit the mine and the copper smelting opera-tion and meet a random Iron Age miner. The project is called “Little Connor and the Ore of the Covenant.”

Q You were a pioneer in establishing the relatively new field of cyber-archaeology. You also were among the first wave of faculty members at UC San Diego to take advantage of the Library’s research data curation services, when they were initially offered some six or seven years ago. How has the “data avalanche” for archaeologists evolved since then?

A Archaeologists are now busy collecting digital data all over the world. One of the big questions is what will become of these precious data in the future. My suggestion is that at research universities, the Library should be the ultimate repository for digital data. With our Catalyst grant work, we have collaborated very closely with information technology and data pres-ervation specialists at the Library. I think our group is helping to push the envelope on how to integrate ‘big archaeological data’ into a state-of-the-art data curation system.

Q&A CONTINUED

to Serve as Interim University Librarian Starting July 2017

Tammy Nickelson Dearie has accom-plished much and has held a number of positions during her long tenure at the UC San Diego Library. On June 30, she will step down from her position as Associate University Librarian for Enterprise Services to begin serv-ing as the Interim University Librarian, a post she will hold until the recruitment for Brian Schottlaender’s successor is completed. Nothing but a smooth transition is anticipated by those who have had the plea-sure of working with or for Dearie, a UC San Diego alumna who received her MLIS (Master of Library & Information Science) degree from UCLA. Her depth of knowledge and breadth of experience in the library world, and at UC San Diego in particular, are impressive, as are her leadership skills.

The FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute (FSCI), will hold a week-long summer training program designed to help researchers, administrators, librarians, and others navigate the ever changing and increasingly complex scholarly communications landscape. The program, which is being hosted by the UC San Diego Library, will be held at the university’s Institute of the Americas complex from July 31 through August 4, 2017. FSCI@UCSD will incorporate inten-sive coursework, seminar participation, group activities, lectures, and hands-on training, featuring leading world experts, practitioners, and theorists specializing in various aspects of scholarly communication. Some 30 courses will be offered—from the introductory to the cutting edge—on topics ranging from building an open and information-rich research institute, data across domains, and understanding metrics, to reproducibility and crowdsourcing. Courses will also be offered on online image and reputa-tion management, peer review, and tools and technology, as well as a primer, scholarly com-munication 101. Courses are aimed at different audiences, including students, researchers, ad-ministrators, funders, librarians, and publishers,

Tammy Dearie “While retirement can be challeng-ing in some ways,” said Brian Schottlaender, “knowing I could hand the proverbial reigns over to Tammy on my way out the door has made the transition easier. I have the utmost respect for her leadership and management skills. She also knows this campus and understands its culture, and has a strong track record in collaborating with faculty and stu-dents. These excellent attributes will greatly benefit the Library and the campus community over the next several months.” Dearie has a wealth of experience in managing library budgets, departments, and staff, as well as major projects, processes, and initiatives. In 2009, after serving as the head of the former Social Sciences & Humani-ties Library for 8 years, Dearie was appointed

Associate University Librarian. Working with Schottlaender and the other Associate Univer-sity Librarians, Catherine Friedman and Martha Hruska, Dearie played a key role in the Library’s reorganization to a more centralized model. As the Associate University Librarian for Enterprise Services, Dearie has directed and managed the Library’s $30 million budget, includ-ing contract and grant administration, human resources, internal communications, informa-tion technology, facilities and capital planning, and safety and security. She has also played a leadership role in the Library’s strategic planning efforts, and has been instrumental in guiding major Library initiatives and projects, including the Geisel Library Revitalization Initiative. She has also provided leadership at the UC system-wide level, both as the UC San Diego Library’s representative on union-related issues and as a member of numerous UC committees and Califor-nia Digital Library initiatives. In addition to her expertise as a librar-ian, Dearie is recognized for her commitment to continual learning and innovation, and as a result, has gained knowledge and expertise in virtually all areas of library administration. She has also published and presented numerous pa-pers in a wide range of library venues, on topics ranging from the needs of 21st century research-ers and trends in reference, access services and technology, to cultural copyright protection in the digital age. Over the last decade, she has also consulted with other academic libraries on interlibrary loan and resource sharing issues, and has authored a forthcoming book of case studies in academic library management.

“It’s really an honor to be given this opportunity to lead the UC San Diego Library over the next several months. As an alumna of the university, I truly care about this campus and our com-munity, and believe the Library’s role in the academic enterprise is a very important one that requires reach-ing out and getting regular feedback. Toward that end, I’m looking forward to meeting with faculty, deans, and others in the academic community to discuss and collaborate on various Library-related issues.”

brian e.c. schottlaenderSpring quarter is drawing to a close as I write this greeting, which will be my last mes-sage to you all as the University Librarian for UC San Diego. I will be retiring effective June 30, 2017, and Tammy Dearie, the Library’s Associate University Librarian for Enterprise Services, will be stepping into the Interim University Librarian role until the recruitment for my successor is successfully completed. Tammy possesses strong leadership and management skills, and is highly respected in the library world and on campus. We have a profile of Tammy in this quarter’s newsletter, which I encourage you to read. In 2009, the Library regretfully was forced—due to budget cuts—to cancel its popular paging service, in which Library staff retrieved materials from the stacks in response to online requests from faculty and delivered them to the Library branch closest to the requester.

F R O M T H E K E Y B O A R D O F Q&AThomas Levy Distinguished Professor, Department of AnthropologyQ Last fall, the first Cyber-Archaeology CAVEkiosk was unveiled at Geisel Library—as part of the UC At-Risk Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities project. Could you update us on the progress that has been made over the past 6 months?

A Since we installed the CAVEkiosk in Geisel Library, I’m pleased to say that we have successfully installed those immersive VR platforms at the UC Merced Library and the Phoebe Hearst Museum at UC Berkeley. We will install the final one at UCLA’s Young Research Library by June 2017. All these venues get a great deal of student traffic, so we are pleased that this goal of our Catalyst grant—to make at-risk world heritage sites available to the public through VR—is now working. We have succeeded in developing a library-based online database for ‘big’ 3D data assets like high resolution stereo photographs and laser scan files of archaeological sites. This project is called ‘CAVEbase,’ and was developed by Chris McFarland in collaboration with the Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability and the Cultural Heritage Engineering Initiative (CHEI).

Q In addition to the linking of your UC San Diego team with archaeologists from the UC Berkeley, UC Merced, and UCLA campuses for the analysis, visualization, and documentation of digital archaeology data and imagery, the project includes an important crowdsourcing component with TerraWatchers. How does that work?

A TerraWatchers was developed by my friend and senior research affiliate, archaeologist Stephen Savage, who built an online crowd-sourcing portal for satellite image analysis in early 2015. For our Catalyst project, it uses trained undergraduate students to help assess the impact of military activity and looting on archaeological sites in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. The TerraWatchers portal makes two sets of satellite imagery available—those from Google Earth/Maps, and from Digital Globe, through participation in the Qualcomm Institute’s Big Pixel Initiative. Registered TerraWatchers can simply toggle between satellite images from

the two basemaps, allowing them to compare and contrast apparent damage photographed on different days or times. They also have tools to mark suspect areas on the images, which experts can then verify.

Q You recently were appointed to a leadership position to help direct the new Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology. Tell us about that.

A At the beginning of the academic year, I was asked to co-direct—with Professor John Hildebrand—the new Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology, a joint venture of the Department of Anthropology and Scripps Institution of Ocean-ography. The goal is to create a center based on transdisciplinary (team science) research that explores how societies adapt to coastal settings in response to climate, environmental, and social change over the past 10,000 years. We hope to bring together all of UC San Diego’s strengths across the academic divisions on campus to cre-ate a new approach to marine archaeology.

Q Earlier this spring, the Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability teamed up with the Virtual Reality (VR) Club at UC San Diego in sponsoring a cyber-archaeology hackathon. Were you pleased with the way this worked and the level of student engagement?

A The VR Club at the university has over 200 very talented undergraduate students involved in a wide range of VR projects. It so happens that the president of the club, Connor Smith, is one of the students on our Catalyst project team, along with two other club officers. These are amazing young people. Jurgen Schulze, my colleague from the Department of Computer Science and Qualcomm Institute, is a co-PI on the Catalyst project and is also advisor for the VR Club. During the winter quarter, I went to one of the VR Club’s demo evenings, and immersed myself in one of the student’s ‘Virtual Taco Shop,’ wearing a personal head-mounted VR device. At that time, it dawned on me that we should have a ‘Cyber-Archaeology VR Hackathon.’ We provided the students with five archaeology excavation sites and digital assets to choose from. To my surprise, they chose to work with a few of my excavation projects in

year we have deployed a contemporary version of it. You can read about it in this issue. Our Q&A features Tom Levy, a renowned archae-ologist and faculty member in the Department of Anthropology, and the director of the Center for Cyber-Archaeology & Sustainability at the Qualcomm Institute. Tom has collaborated with the Library on several projects, most recently on the 3D CAVEkiosk that is now in Geisel Library and is linked to three other UC campuses. Earlier this spring, it was announced that FORCE11 (Future of Research Communica-tions and E-Scholarship) planned to establish a Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI) at UC San Diego. The Library is hosting the week-long FSCI@UCSD this summer, from July 31 through August 4. The program will offer participants training, networking, and skills development in the ever-evolving world of scientific and scholarly communication.

machines, without staff mediation or standing in line. Nonetheless, those who have questions or wish to speak to Library staff still have the option of taking their materials to the Front Desk for checkout. Our expectation is that this new service will streamline the Library experience for faculty and other users, and will result in the quick, no-hassle retrieval of materials. Library staff are always on hand to answer questions and assist with the process. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to improve any aspect of the paging service. We plan to collect feedback from users via a survey link included in hold pickup notices, how-ever, immediate questions or comments about the paging service can be directed to staff at (858) 534-0134 or LibraryBorrowing@ucsd.edu.

In response to faculty feedback, earlier this year the Library reinstated the popular paging service for print materials—which was dis-continued in 2009—making it easier than ever to access print collections. The paging service allows members of the campus community to browse materials online and request available items via Roger, the Library catalog. However, faculty and others who enjoy browsing books in the stacks may continue to do so. The Self-Service Hold Shelves were just introduced this quarter, to allow request-ers to retrieve their materials quickly and easily. All requested items—with the excep-tion of interlibrary loan and Circuit materials restricted to Library use only—are now held on the Self-Service Hold Shelves adjacent to

The UC San Diego Library’s librarians and information specialists have joined a growing, nationwide movement, focused on data curation and the preservation of at-risk environmental data. While the Library’s Research Data Curation (RDC) Program has focused on the long-term preservation of research data—in collaboration with faculty researchers and others—these recent efforts have gained momentum and increased attention over the last six months, as policy changes ushered in by the federal government have led to the elimina-tion of resources needed to maintain access to research data, raising doubts about the preserva-tion of important environmental data. At UC San Diego, RDC staff—and other Library information professionals—have been working closely with colleagues at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and have taken several concrete steps to ensure that environmental data is preserved and remains discoverable, including:• Attending a “Data Refuge” event at UCLA. This event—one of a series held at universities

enabling researchers to more easily upload their data to the Library, for access and preservation. These data services, including the Library’s new Quick Data Deposit (LiQuiDD) Form (lib.ucsd.edu/liquidd), are built on years of curation work done by the Library, which has been expedited due to the heightened sense of urgency in the academic community.• Co-hosting a “Data Day” at Scripps Oceanography, which brought RDC and other Library information professionals together with researchers, providing a forum for concerned researchers to learn more about the Library’s data preservation and curation services, as well as efforts underway beyond the university. These events reflect the collaborative spirit shared between those who create knowledge and data—academic researchers—and those committed to preserving it and ensuring that it stays discoverable by current and future generations—librarians and information experts. At the UC San Diego Library and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, these efforts to preserve environmental data are viewed as essential, with both institutions committed to supporting further work along these lines in the future.

Download the Campus VPN for Undisrupted Use of Library MaterialsThe Virtual Private Network (VPN) service will soon become the sole campus-supported way for UC San Diego affiliates to access the wide breadth of Library resources—including e-journals, e-books, databases, and electronic reserve materials—from off-campus. The campus will soon discontinue the existing web proxy server, and as a result, users who are currently accessing the server through their in-ternet browser will need to change their set-up and move to the VPN. Because the web proxy server is a passive system, many users may be unaware that they are connecting to Library resources via this method. By downloading the VPN software now, Library users can ensure undisrupted access. More information and instructions can be found at library.ucsd.edu/spaces/computing/remote-access.

When requests are made, Library staff will retrieve requested materials and make them available for pick-up on the newly installed Self-Service Hold Shelves, near the Library Front Desks.

Q In addition to the linking of your UC San Diego team with archaeologists from the UC Berkeley, UC Merced, and UCLA campuses for the analysis, visualization, and documentation of digital archaeology data and imagery, the project includes an important crowdsourcing component with TerraWatchers. How does that work?

A TerraWatchers was developed by my friend and senior research affiliate, archaeologist Stephen Savage, who built an online crowd-sourcing portal for satellite image analysis in early 2015. For our Catalyst project, it uses trained undergraduate students to help assess the impact of military activity and looting on archaeological sites in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. The TerraWatchers portal makes two sets of satellite imagery available—those from Google Earth/Maps, and from Digital Globe, through participation in the Qualcomm Institute’s Big Pixel Initiative. Registered TerraWatchers can simply toggle between satellite images from

the two basemaps, allowing them to compare and contrast apparent damage photographed on different days or times. They also have tools to mark suspect areas on the images, which experts can then verify.

Q You recently were appointed to a leadership position to help direct the new Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology. Tell us about that.

A At the beginning of the academic year, I was asked to co-direct—with Professor John Hildebrand—the new Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology, a joint venture of the Department of Anthropology and Scripps Institution of Ocean-ography. The goal is to create a center based on transdisciplinary (team science) research that explores how societies adapt to coastal settings in response to climate, environmental, and social change over the past 10,000 years. We hope to bring together all of UC San Diego’s strengths across the academic divisions on campus to cre-ate a new approach to marine archaeology.

Q Earlier this spring, the Center for Cyber-Archaeology and Sustainability teamed up with the Virtual Reality (VR) Club at UC San Diego in sponsoring a cyber-archaeology hackathon. Were you pleased with the way this worked and the level of student engagement?

A The VR Club at the university has over 200 very talented undergraduate students involved in a wide range of VR projects. It so happens that the president of the club, Connor Smith, is one of the students on our Catalyst project team, along with two other club officers. These are amazing young people. Jurgen Schulze, my colleague from the Department of Computer Science and Qualcomm Institute, is a co-PI on the Catalyst project and is also advisor for the VR Club. During the winter quarter, I went to one of the VR Club’s demo evenings, and immersed myself in one of the student’s ‘Virtual Taco Shop,’ wearing a personal head-mounted VR device. At that time, it dawned on me that we should have a ‘Cyber-Archaeology VR Hackathon.’ We provided the students with five archaeology excavation sites and digital assets to choose from. To my surprise, they chose to work with a few of my excavation projects in

year we have deployed a contemporary version of it. You can read about it in this issue. Our Q&A features Tom Levy, a renowned archae-ologist and faculty member in the Department of Anthropology, and the director of the Center for Cyber-Archaeology & Sustainability at the Qualcomm Institute. Tom has collaborated with the Library on several projects, most recently on the 3D CAVEkiosk that is now in Geisel Library and is linked to three other UC campuses. Earlier this spring, it was announced that FORCE11 (Future of Research Communica-tions and E-Scholarship) planned to establish a Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI) at UC San Diego. The Library is hosting the week-long FSCI@UCSD this summer, from July 31 through August 4. The program will offer participants training, networking, and skills development in the ever-evolving world of scientific and scholarly communication. You can read more about it in our article, which

PAGING SERVICE REINSTATED IN GEISEL AND BIOMEDICAL LIBRARY BUILDINGS

includes a link so you can sign up. As I bid farewell as UC San Diego’s University Librarian, I want to thank my many faculty colleagues who have supported my leadership and the Library over the years. It has been a rich and rewarding experience, and I’m grateful for your feedback and friendship during my 18-year tenure. The pleasure and the privilege have been mine.

machines, without staff mediation or standing in line. Nonetheless, those who have questions or wish to speak to Library staff still have the option of taking their materials to the Front Desk for checkout. Our expectation is that this new service will streamline the Library experience for faculty and other users, and will result in the quick, no-hassle retrieval of materials. Library staff are always on hand to answer questions and assist with the process. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to improve any aspect of the paging service. We plan to collect feedback from users via a survey link included in hold pickup notices, how-ever, immediate questions or comments about the paging service can be directed to staff at (858) 534-0134 or LibraryBorrowing@ucsd.edu.

In response to faculty feedback, earlier this year the Library reinstated the popular paging service for print materials—which was dis-continued in 2009—making it easier than ever to access print collections. The paging service allows members of the campus community to browse materials online and request available items via Roger, the Library catalog. However, faculty and others who enjoy browsing books in the stacks may continue to do so. The Self-Service Hold Shelves were just introduced this quarter, to allow request-ers to retrieve their materials quickly and easily. All requested items—with the excep-tion of interlibrary loan and Circuit materials restricted to Library use only—are now held on the Self-Service Hold Shelves adjacent to

the Front Desk in both the Geisel and Biomedical Library Buildings. After retrieving these materials themselves, requesters may then checkout the materials via one of the adjacent self-checkout

The UC San Diego Library’s librarians and information specialists have joined a growing, nationwide movement, focused on data curation and the preservation of at-risk environmental data. While the Library’s Research Data Curation (RDC) Program has focused on the long-term preservation of research data—in collaboration with faculty researchers and others—these recent efforts have gained momentum and increased attention over the last six months, as policy changes ushered in by the federal government have led to the elimina-tion of resources needed to maintain access to research data, raising doubts about the preserva-tion of important environmental data. At UC San Diego, RDC staff—and other Library information professionals—have been working closely with colleagues at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and have taken several concrete steps to ensure that environmental data is preserved and remains discoverable, including:• Attending a “Data Refuge” event at UCLA. This event—one of a series held at universities

enabling researchers to more easily upload their data to the Library, for access and preservation. These data services, including the Library’s new Quick Data Deposit (LiQuiDD) Form (lib.ucsd.edu/liquidd), are built on years of curation work done by the Library, which has been expedited due to the heightened sense of urgency in the academic community.• Co-hosting a “Data Day” at Scripps Oceanography, which brought RDC and other Library information professionals together with researchers, providing a forum for concerned researchers to learn more about the Library’s data preservation and curation services, as well as efforts underway beyond the university. These events reflect the collaborative spirit shared between those who create knowledge and data—academic researchers—and those committed to preserving it and ensuring that it stays discoverable by current and future generations—librarians and information experts. At the UC San Diego Library and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, these efforts to preserve environmental data are viewed as essential, with both institutions committed to supporting further work along these lines in the future.

across the nation—brought together librarians, information specialists, and scientists, who deliberated on how to access, download, and save at-risk data housed on federal government servers. This work is continuing at many institutions, with hundreds of people working together to provide access to data outside of traditional government sources.• Creating new data services at UC San Diego,

Download the Campus VPN for Undisrupted Use of Library MaterialsThe Virtual Private Network (VPN) service will soon become the sole campus-supported way for UC San Diego affiliates to access the wide breadth of Library resources—including e-journals, e-books, databases, and electronic reserve materials—from off-campus. The campus will soon discontinue the existing web proxy server, and as a result, users who are currently accessing the server through their in-ternet browser will need to change their set-up and move to the VPN. Because the web proxy server is a passive system, many users may be unaware that they are connecting to Library resources via this method. By downloading the VPN software now, Library users can ensure undisrupted access. More information and instructions can be found at library.ucsd.edu/spaces/computing/remote-access.

When requests are made, Library staff will retrieve requested materials and make them available for pick-up on the newly installed Self-Service Hold Shelves, near the Library Front Desks. The paging service saves Library users the time and effort of searching for materials in the stacks, and traversing across areas of the Library to find needed items.

Q You were a pioneer in establishing the relatively new field of cyber-archaeology. You also were among the first wave of faculty members at UC San Diego to take advantage of the Library’s research data curation services, when they were initially offered some six or seven years ago. How has the “data avalanche” for archaeologists evolved since then?

A Archaeologists are now busy collecting digital data all over the world. One of the big questions is what will become of these precious data in the future. My suggestion is that at research universities, the Library should be the ultimate repository for digital data. With our Catalyst grant work, we have collaborated very closely with information technology and data pres-ervation specialists at the Library. I think our group is helping to push the envelope on how to integrate ‘big archaeological data’ into a state-of-the-art data curation system.
