DESCRIPTION:Join us for a McGill School of Information Studies (SIS) Semina
 r Series talk on archival device regulations and mobile applications to as
 sist in archival research with guest speaker Dr. Unmil Karadkar\, Assistan
 t Professor in the School of Information at The University of Texas at Aus
 tin.\n\n\n	ABSTRACT\n\nDoing research in the archive is the cornerstone of 
 humanities scholarship. To protect their materials and to provide a welcom
 ing environment for scholars\, archives establish regulations regarding th
 e use of technological devices\, such as mobile phones\, laptops\, and cam
 eras in their reading rooms. Such regulations directly affect the scholars
  as the devices mediate the nature of their interaction with the source ma
 terials in terms of capturing\, organizing\, note taking\, and record keep
 ing for future use of found materials. In this talk\, I will present our e
 valuation of the device use regulations published by thirty archives. This
  evaluation\, along with data from interviews of scholars and archivists\,
  is intended to serve as a basis for developing mobile applications for as
 sisting scholars in their research activities. In this paper we introduce 
 early prototypes of two mobile applications—AMTracker for viewing archive 
 regulations and STARDocMan for capturing documents and adding metadata in 
 the reading rooms.\n\n\n	BIO\n	Unmil Karadkar is a tenure-track Assistant Pr
 ofessor in the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin.
  He conducts research at the intersection of human-centered computing\, di
 gital collections\, and information visualization\, bridging the gap betwe
 en the information needs and goals of a community by augmenting digital co
 llections\, designing software to use these collections\, and evaluating t
 he impact of the designed software on a community’s practices. He collabor
 ates with researchers from  diverse areas such as the sciences\, humanitie
 s\, and nursing. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Texas A&M Univers
 ity.\n\n \n\nEveryone welcome. Please arrive early to secure a seat. \n
