🧵 1/ It's # Wednesday and you know what that means! #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues at the Dept. of Archaeology, Conservation and History. I'll be at the History section again today, and in the afternoon, I will have an evaluation session w/ the Dept. leader team about my work so far! Exciting!
In the meantime, I am available for the staff, researchers, PostDocs and PhD candidates.
Let's see what today offers!

🧵 3/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues after lunch w/ my "adopted" colleagues from the #History section. I had a coordinating & getting-to-know meeting to set up some presentations and show-and-tell sessions for the Depts. #DigitalMeetup that happens every #Tuesday. I offered to do short sessions on #TaDiRAH, #Transkribus, #Tropy and #Tesseract during the fall. I'll use the 1678 #Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria as an example for #AutomatedTextRecognition of C17th books!

🧵 2/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO I often get asked about how to quickly search through (handwritten) archival documents. Depending on how many documents we are talking about, there certainly are quicker ways then reading them! But setting up a workflow for #Digitisation, #AutomaticTextRecognition #QualityAssurance aren't done quickly either! Accessible tools like #Transkribus can help a lot here, but they can't do magic. So: plan enough time for these tasks and don't expect 100% accuracy!

🧵 1/ It's #Wednesday, which means #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO at the Dept. of Archaeology, Conservation and History again! Today I will be in the History section, catching up on some questions I received via email and drafting a presentation of #TaDiRAH for an upcoming #DigitalMeetup.

🧵 3/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO It's a slow day; might be due to the examinations, where teaching researchers are occupied w/ grading and guiding students. It's also hot here in Oslo, and many avoid coming to the office if they can work better at home or the cabin.
In the meantime, I am preparing my upcoming #ResearchLeave. My main focus is on drafting the #DataPaper for the #EdvardMunch #Correspondence #Metadata we created from the #DigitalScholarlyEdition https://emunch.no/welcome.xhtml

🧵 2/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO On Monday, I visited the Archeological Library https://www.ub.uio.no/english/libraries/uhs/ark/index.html. It's located off campus, in the city centre, across the street from the #CulturalHistoryMuseum #KHM & covers subjects such as archaeology, conservation and Medieval art. It shares the building with #KHM and the Dept. of Archeology, Conservation and History with workshops for conservators.

I will be there "on demand" to support researchers & master students in #DigitalResearchActivities

🧵 1/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO #Wednesday today - and the last time before the summer. I will spend the morning in the history section of the Dept. and the afternoon in the archaeology section. And I will write about #Monday when I visited the archaeological library and the conservation section downtown, across the street from the #CulturalHistoryMuseum #KHM

It's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO #Wednesday again! I sneak-started yesterday by presenting @Gephi and #GephiLite during the Department of Archeology, Conservation and History's #DigitalMeetup. For participants to get started, I used the datasets provided by @proghist lesson Exploring and Analysing Network data with Python https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/exploring-and-analyzing-network-data-with-python and then showed basic functionality & visualization possibilities in #Gephi.
Let's see what else is coming in today!

#Friday
This week was a bit odd; it was short, and I was not in my office for two of the four days. Next week will be tightly packed w/ meetings and more #collaboration outside of the #UniversityLibrary: I will be at the National Library of Norway's DH Lab on Monday and at the Dept. of Archeology, Conservation and History on Wednesday with #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO. There are also some news regarding #DHOslo and #DHNBLAM, so stay tuned!
Enjoy the weekend friends –

🧵 6/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO Picking up from a previous post, I recommend everyone who publishes web content as their research output has it actively web archived. You can either do this by yourself using the @internetarchive #WaybackMachine. If you are in Norway and your website is either on a .no domain or has Norwegian or Norway-related content, you can contact the #NorwegianWebArchive https://www.nb.no/samlingen/nettarkivet/ at the Norwegian National Library and have them archive your website.

🧵 5/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO I continue my day at the section for #Archeology and #Conservation. I will make myself available in the break room, while hunting for coffee ;)

🧵 4/ Many researchers are not trained in data modelling and database building; however, data modelling is integral to working with any data, in my opinion. As is making a #DataManagementPlan and keeping a #Log to support documentation, memory, collaboration, and trouble shooting! #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO

🧵 2/ Continuing #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO , we had a blast linking the students' podcasts to the web exhibition! I got to teach some elementary #HTML and help navigate the University of Oslo's #ContentManagementSystem #Vortex (no pun intended). Check out the #CollectingNorden exhibition https://www.uio.no/english/research/strategic-research-areas/nordic/research/research-groups/collecting-norden/collecting-norden-virtual-exhibition/index.html courtesy of Ulrike Spring and Janicke S. Kaasa and the "History Now" student weblog https://www.hf.uio.no/iakh/livet-rundt-studiene/blogg/

🧵 1/ It's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO Wednesday, and today I will be spending the morning at the History section of the Dept. of Archeology, Conservation and History. I have a longer session booked w/ a researcher who worked together w/ students to create #podcasts for a virtual exhibition. We will discuss how to connect different media and objects and improve accessibility, findability and re-use of the students' work.

Good morning! It's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO #Tuesday again, and I will be at the Dept. of Archeology, Conservation and History in the afternoon. There is nothing pre-booked so far, but we will have a presentation by the amazing Adela Sobotkova from Aarhus University (@adivea on BirdSite) about integrating digital research methods in BA and MA education! Looking forward!

🧵 1/ It's #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO Wednesday again!
Today seems to be quiet; however, a funny aspect of my support and guidance work with #Digital stuff is that I get asked quite a bit of #IT questions. Note: I am NOT doing IT support in any regard! But what I have experienced in the many years of doing this work is that the threshold for 'Asking IT Support' is perceived as high. And probably also intimidating. I seem more approachable and am in the same workspace, so I get asked instead.

Even though it's not #Wednesday yet, #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues today, too, w/ some recommendations for sending/sharing large video files w/ seminar participants. When you do this, please ensure that you have consent & are in compliance w/ your institution's rules and regulations for data classification and sharing. #UniOslo has a set of tools for sending large files. They're approved for #PersonalData and even #SensitiveDate if encryption is done correctly #ResearchDataManagement

🧵 3/
#ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO #Zotero is always popular but can also be frustrating. Today I helped a researcher modify their citations in a #MSWord document. To add/edit page numbers & ranges, you don't manually write into the reference field in Word, but instead, click into the reference, then on "Add/Edit Citation" in the menu. This opens the Zotero bar. Here, you can click on the reference, and a small window opens where you can add/edit pages! It will sync and works like a charm!

🧵 2/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO
I had an interesting discussion w/ a researcher working on an overview of digital skills at the Dept. Especially how to approach such an overview. They used the five typical phases of the research process by #TheProgrammingHistorian: ACQUIRE, TRANSFORM, ANALYZE, PRESENT, SUSTAIN. I introduced them to #TaDiRAH taxonomy of digital research activities in the humanities & how this could help to classify further & sort the different digital activities. Good work!
