SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Singing Down the Barriers: A Model to Re-engage Silenced Voices
DESCRIPTION:This noted coloratura soprano and authority on classical song and opera by African American composers\, will introduce UMRA members to Singing Down the Barriers (SDtB). SDtB explores the repertoire of African American\, African\, and African Diaspora concert composers\, providing a historical perspective along with discussions to examine contemporary attitudes toward performing/understanding African American songs. Toppin’s presentation will demonstrate the SDtB program\, which draws students\, teachers\, choral directors and musicians from across the country. A U-M faculty member since 2017\, Toppin previously served as the University Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Among other honors\, she received the National Opera Association Lift Every Voice Legacy Award in 2014 and U-M’s Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award in 2021.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Lay All Your Love on Metadata: A New API for Discovery
DESCRIPTION:ICPSR maintains a collection of 60+ years of curated\, richly described research data available for reuse by social science researchers at all levels of experience. A key challenge to disseminating this data is making it findable – helping users discover our data resources and making them aware of the ways in which ICPSR data can support their research needs. \n\nTo address this challenge\, ICPSR created a metadata export API (Application Programming Interface) that enables individuals and institutions to programmatically retrieve study-level metadata about ICPSR studies in multiple standards-based formats. The API supports reuse of ICPSR metadata in local catalogs\, discovery systems\, research workflows\, and downstream applications. It extends and enriches ICPSR’s reach while increasing the FAIRness (findability\, accessibility\, interoperability\, and reusability) of its data collections. \n\nIn this presentation\, members of ICPSR’s metadata team will demonstrate the new metadata export API and its benefits\, including how to query it to find studies that meet specific research needs\, what information is returned in the results\, and how these exports improve upon ICPSR’s previous metadata distribution offerings. If you're interested in incorporating ICPSR data into another discovery platform\, this session will show you how to get started.\n\nPresenters:\n   * Mike Shallcross\, Senior Associate Archivist\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n   * Megan Chenoweth\, Metadata Manager\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n   * Jared Lyle\, Archivist and Director\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR
