Lecture presentation: “Violence Against Women:
By Walter Astrada — photojournalist for Getty Images
Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m.
The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute in the Fred W. Smith Forum
Acclaimed photojournalist Walter Astrada will be visiting the J-School on Wednesday, Sept. 14 to present his images of global conflict and his documentary project on gender-related violence.
Astrada’s five-year project, “Violence Against Women,” documents sexual torture, murder and female infanticide in Guatemala, the Congo and India. The New York Times writes: “This powerful view of the global effects of violence on women is a result of Mr. Astrada’s strong personal conviction and stubborn perseverance.”

In 2010, Astrada collaborated with MediaStorm on “Undesired,” a multimedia project that examines social injustice and violence facing women in India. The story won first place for Multimedia Issue Reporting in Pictures of the Year International.
The lecture is free and everyone is welcome.

Librarian I – ACTS: A short list of candidates has been identified and interviews are scheduled. As this is an abridged search for a one-year appointment, the search process will be modified as well, meaning the ACTS will execute the search internally. The regular search format will be conducted when the national search takes place.
Director of Development – Admin: Ron Kelley, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Development, is in charge of the search. His office has reviewed the applications received thus far but wants to continue to keep the position open and to broaden the search to attract a richer pool of applicants.
The Diversity Action Committee wishes to share information on a picnic open to the University community and sponsored by the Hispanic-Latin American Faculty & Staff Association of MU.

Ithaca, NY The DSpace committers team are delighted to announce a new member to the group: Hardy Pottinger from University of Missouri Library Systems. Please join us in welcoming him! Hardy has been an active member of the DSpace Community for some time, contributing patches, helping to fix bugs (or test fixes), and providing general help and advice on mailing lists and IRC. Hardy works for the University of Missouri Library Systems, on the University of Missouri, Columbia (AKA Mizzou) campus. He is the Tech Lead for MOspace (https://mospace.umsystem.edu/), the institutional repository for the University of Missouri. Hardy holds a BA in English, from Fontbonne in Saint Louis (formerly a College, now a University). He worked on the school paper, and leveraged that experience into a few jobs at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in Chicago. During that period, he ended up doing quite a bit of developing/publishing work, mainly on web sites (using the venerable Cold Fusion), and narrowly missed the tail end of the dot-com bubble (phew). He then moved back to Missouri (where he and his wife grew up) to be closer to family. He’s been working in the Library space ever since, formerly on digital library kinds of things (using Michigan’s very cool DLXS software), but lately on University of Missouri’s institutional repository, MOspace. We are always on the lookout for new developers, contributors, and committers within the DSpace community. Anyone who would like to get more involved is encouraged to do so. You are also welcome to contact us at any time if you’d like some ideas of how to start contributing: – https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceContributors Contributions can take many forms, from writing code to editing documentation, or testing new releases to designing new themes for our user interfaces. If you or someone you know has been an active DSpace contributor for some time, you can also nominate that person to become our next committer! Nomination details are available at: – https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Committer+Nominations |
