  • ADHC Talks Podcast: A Conversation with Vincent Scalfani (5.2)

    Description

    Our guest today is Dr. Vincent F. Scalfani. Vincent serves as the director of research computing services at the University of Alabama Libraries, providing leadership and support for the newly evolving research computing services across the disciplines. Additionally, he serves as subject liaison for chemical sciences and mathematics. Before joining the University of Alabama in 2012, he earned a PhD in chemistry from Colorado State University.

    His research interests include chemical information and cheminformatics. Today, we’re going to be talking about a project that has been ongoing, a project that I am just absolutely in love with. It’s the University of Alabama Libraries Scholarly API Cookbook, which is an open-access online book featuring concise code examples or recipes that illustrate how to interact with various scholarly web service APIs.

    These APIs enable researchers to automate search queries, customize data sets, and more easily integrate their information workflows into downstream data analysis processes. Launched in 2022, the cookbook is continually enhanced and updated by student programmers at the libraries. Vin and I have been on faculty here at the university libraries for about 13 years.

  •  ADHC Talks Podcast: A Conversation with Jeff Turner (5.1)

    Description

    Today our guest is Dr. Jeff Turner. Jeff, I’m going to share what I’ve prepared about you and then you’re welcome to fill in the gaps. So Jeff received his PhD in US history from the University of Utah. His expertise lies in digital humanities, American religious history, and migration. And his research traces the ways migration and immigration inspectors and policymakers construct religion at the US border in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries.

    Professor Turner’s digital work spans a variety of digital humanities methods. He entered DH along with Grassroots Graduate Student Group at the University of Utah, who taught themselves to topic model and published an article together.

    His subsequent experience came from wanting to understand the relationship between critical theory, and project building, and also a desire to pay the rent. So you’re very practical. He’s worked on public humanities projects such as the Century of Black Mormons, Native Places Atlas, and the Wilford Woodruff Papers Project. And he works in Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and a little bit of R in SQL.
