New date! Rescheduled from January 21, 2025.

Before donations arrive in your archives, the first step is appraising the item - does it fit your organization's mission? Can the item(s) be stored appropriately and cared for?  What if this did not happen before you accepted the collection, and it’s on the shelves—it happens to everyone.  Appraisal often refers to the time spent assessing existing records for their potential to be retained as part of the historical record in your archives. Sometimes, this is done as part of surveying one’s holdings or even when processing a collection.  

This 2-hour webinar will discuss the different values assigned to archives to help you better understand the appraisal principles and introduce techniques to identify records necessary for adequate documentation. A case study will be presented on a recent appraisal project, followed by a discussion and questions.

Our panel will discuss the following topics:

  • Overview of appraisal, including appraisal considerations (basic concepts)
  • What can you get rid of, and how
  • Case study on an appraisal project with discussion
  • Share tools, resources, documentation

This will be recorded and added to our CARLI Archives and Special Collections Resource Page.

Participants attending this workshop will discover a variety of research resources they can offer graduates and the greater community outside the academy who still wish to continue academic research. This workshop will define information privilege and how open access research can help users legally breach vendor paywalls to conduct their research. Highlighted will be a curated guide to open research as well as identifying search strategies for locating, accessing and using quality, peer-reviewed resources across subject areas. Also included will be an introduction to AI tools and browser extensions for locating open research.

Join presenters Evan Fruehauf and Susan Ariew in exploring the best platforms and content to consider for any personal research project, understanding the strengths and limitations of open access materials, and identifying some of the best toolsets to help guide researchers in your community.

Generative AI tools have become the latest accelerant for what some call the ""cheating-industrial complex,"" amplifying cycles of surveillance, quick fixes, and extractive teaching practices in higher education. This moment demands that we pause and ask fundamental questions about the systems we perpetuate. There has never been a more urgent need for the open education movement to slow down, divest from capitalist notions of teaching and learning, and consider problems differently. What if we approached education as we might approach nurturing the land—with care, reciprocity, and a commitment to long-term resilience?

In this talk, I’ll propose a regenerative vision for open pedagogy, one inspired by practices that restore balance, foster abundance, and work with, rather than against, natural systems. Together, we’ll explore how open pedagogy can disrupt wasteful and unethical practices that degrade the learning environment and harm students. By focusing on collaboration, shared resources, and sustainability, we can ""build the soil"" of a thriving educational ecosystem and create the conditions for learning to flourish over time.

Learning Outcomes
Imagine how advocates for open education can promote our values of access, openness, and equity by rethinking our support models for student projects
Generate ideas for how to connect student projects to opportunities for future reuse
Discuss how engaging students and faculty in open pedagogy can change the conversation around the purpose and value of student work 
Reflect on ways the open education movement may be contributing to systems based on extraction, distrust, and surveillance
