Abstract:

Barbara Dobbs Mackenzie (RILM International Center, The City University of New York) and Jadranka Važanová (RILM International Center, The City University of New York) RILM in 2022 Zdravko Blažeković (RILM International Center, The City University of New York), Antonio Baldassarre (Hochschule Luzern – Musik), and Daniela Castaldo (Università del Salento) Moving into the digital age: the new DEUMM ONLINE Stephanie Bonjack (University of Colorado Boulder) Highlighting performing arts and cultural heritage in Ukraine LibGuides, an online product from Springshare, is widely used by library professionals around the world. They are relatively easy to create and modify, they allow for widgets, plug-ins and embedded content, and can be edited and updated in real time. Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, there has been a proliferation of new LibGuides related to the conflict. The creators of these guides are at university and college libraries, government and information centers, and special libraries around the world (including the NATO Library and European Commission Library). These guides seek to educate students and the public about the geopolitical region and its history, document the conflict timeline, help readers identify misinformation, and point to aid agencies where donations are needed. What they do not do is identify key music, theatre, dance, and other cultural bodies or heritage sites that are impacted or at risk because of this war. In this presentation, I will discuss the research guide I developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, which focuses on the arts and creative heritage in Ukraine. I will promote LibGuides as a tool for other library professionals to copy and tailor to their unique collections and patrons. We can use these guides to raise awareness of not just the conflict, but of the cultural and intangible heritage we must seek to preserve. I will also draw attention to known efforts working toward that aim, like the Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO) project, and other projects that develop in response to the war.
