[Ohiodig] "Collections as Data" lecture from OSU

[Lily Birkhimer]

Hi all,

During our March meeting, I mentioned a recent lecture from the Ohio State University Science Sundays series called "Collections as Data: Combining Data Science and the Power of Library Collections to Unlock New Understanding," presented by Kate Zwaard, Director of Digital Strategy at the Library of Congress. The topic ties in nicely to our recurring discussion theme of leveraging digital collections, touching on crowdsourcing, data visualization, new ways of interacting with digital content, etc.

You can read more about the lecture here<https://artsandsciences.osu.edu/news-events/events/science-sundayscollections-data-combining-data-science-and-power-library>, and can now see a full recording on the Science Sundays YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7TX9cF3Kvo&list=PLJqUkHeXIUqdv7RlqV9nlXq17bofXMVTu>. I hope this is a helpful professional development resource for OhioDIG folks, especially as many of us are working remotely at the moment. Best wishes to everyone.

Lily
