Openness refers to changes in scholarly communication that shift information away from paywalled models toward shared and universally accessible models. The group is tasked with making recommendations and developing a three-year roadmap in support of the library by building and enhancing the ‘openness’ of collections and services.
The forum focused on several projects in the Yale Special Collections community responding to the challenges posed by the pandemic. Short presentations included how special collections documented the experiences of the campus community, adapted to ensure teaching support with special collections, and pursued outreach to stakeholders and new audiences during the peak of last year’s crisis. The forum concluded with key takeaways and a brief Q&A session.

Peter Leonard, Director of the Yale Digital Humanities Lab, discussed the DH Lab’s project, “Every Pixel on the Sunset Strip: Machine Vision and Photographs.” Working with the visual archive of the artist Ed Ruscha’s iconic book, Every Building on the Sunset Strip, the Yale DH team has been developing a suite of interactive tools for the visual data mining of hundreds of thousands of Ruscha’s original photographs (now held at the Getty Research Institute). Peter Leonard discussed the variety of issues involved in moving from the Ruscha archive to the types of visual pattern analysis being developed by “Every Pixel on the Sunset Strip.”
