\u201cLend Me Your Ears! – Podcasting as the New Public History\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the great success stories of the new media age has been the podcast. This democratic platform has let literally thousands of people try their hand as producers of audio entertainment. What perhaps could not have been predicted is how podcasts have filled an important niche in the educational life of countless listeners. This is especially true when it comes to history. History podcasts have proved to be surprisingly popular corner of the podcasting world. More people than ever are learning history from their friends in their earbuds, but are these dedicated amateurs really qualified to be shaping our understanding of the past?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Sebastian Major, host of Our Fake History<\/em>, as he explores how podcasting has changed the public history landscape, and tells first hand stories of the potential dangers of presenting yourself as a historical “truth teller” on the unforgiving internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebastian Major is the creator and host of Our Fake History<\/em>, a podcast that explores historical myths and misconceptions. The show has been noted as one of Toronto\u2019s \u201cmost addictive podcasts\u201d by Toronto Life Magazine<\/em> and has been regularly featured on CBC Radio\u2019s Podcast Playlist<\/em>. Sebastian has also been featured as a panelist at the Hot Docs Podcast festival. In 2011, Sebastian received his Master\u2019s in Public History from Carleton University.

2018 Summer Cities Symposium<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14, for our inaugural Summer Cities Symposium, titled Working Waterfronts \/\/ Freshwater Fictions<\/em>, at the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will focus on issues of urban waterfronts, and is organized around the themes of environment, equity, and infrastructure. The idea of “fictions” is meant to include the variety of stories and visualizations we create to understand and to communicate ideas for these evolving sites. Our website includes full schedule and details: https:\/\/c-url.ca\/summercities\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium is free and open to the public, but requires registration via the event website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Message from the Library – Carleton to participate in OCUL\u2019s Collaborative Futures project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to take this opportunity to inform the Carleton community that the MacOdrum Library will be participating in the implementation of OCUL\u2019s (Ontario Council of University Libraries\u2019) Collaborative Futures project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on this project will begin this summer and will take place over the coming year. We are committed to keeping you updated throughout the implementation process, to show you the kinds of changes you can expect to see and how they will enhance your own use of library resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Background<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collaborative Futures project foresees the selection, procurement, and implementation of a shared library services platform (LSP) among OCUL members, allowing for improved management and preservation and of library collections, streamlined internal operations, improved discovery of and access to these collections, and increased support for the educational and research needs of students and faculty at Ontario\u2019s university libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of this shared LSP for users, including students, faculty and researchers include improved user experience, integration with university financial systems, and a shared user interface providing opportunities to collaborate in the areas of mobility, accessibility, and usability in order to improve the user experience across all OCUL libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration envisions the implementation of a single system with a shared infrastructure, but that would also allow for tailoring to meet the needs of local user communities. This initiative will allow OCUL members to reap the benefits of collaboration in those areas where it makes most sense to collaborate, while facilitating local differences where necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary outcomes for Collaborative Futures include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
