This is Martina Svyantek with my poster, University
Policies and the Concept of "Open-access":

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:08.290
Document Collection and Critique.

00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:12.849
What you should takeaway is that University
documents should be created purposefully,

00:00:12.849 --> 00:00:17.710
using Universal Design principles so they
can be preserved intentionally.

00:00:17.710 --> 00:00:22.820
One barrier to investigating Disability within
higher education is the lack of institutional-level

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:28.359
discussion; there is a similar lack of policy
documents, which I detail in my work.

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:34.051
My methods broaden disability studies methodology
by expanding the definition of "open" with

00:00:34.051 --> 00:00:35.800
regards to research.

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.719
Going beyond the boundary of direct financial
costs, I call to remove other gatekeepers,

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.530
some human and some procedural, between researchers
and what should be public documents.

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:52.420
The document collection is a retrospective
view over a 25 year time span at five-year

00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:56.379
intervals using July 1st to July 30th as a
year for a search.

00:00:56.379 --> 00:01:02.100
At each time point I looked for 13 different
types of documents, covering three large categories-

00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:09.470
the pink indicating access policies, the blue
for general handbooks, and the yellow for

00:01:09.470 --> 00:01:12.010
campus experiences.

00:01:12.010 --> 00:01:16.990
I'm sharing today three matrix visuals showcasing
my VT search results.

00:01:16.990 --> 00:01:21.540
In the bottom center of the poster, the first
Matrix contains an overall perspective of

00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:25.090
the findability of the 78 documents in question.

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:30.450
A solid black square indicates no records
mentioning such a document could be found.

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:34.960
A brick pattern indicates that later documents
have a start date definitively outside of

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:36.840
the time in question.

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.210
Polka dots represent materials that may exist
in a physical form that could not be verified,

00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:48.159
while no pattern indicates that a digital
"something" was found.

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.840
In the top right of the poster, the document
cohesion matrix sheds light on the format

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.549
of the digital materials.

00:01:54.549 --> 00:01:59.229
Here, solid black indicates a lack of digital
versions.

00:01:59.229 --> 00:02:04.790
Polka dots indicates that multiple related
materials were scattered, while an unpatterned

00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:09.590
blocks indicate that there was a single document
that could be found and downloaded for the

00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:11.560
item in question.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.040
In the bottom right corner, the document source
matrix is where I go to more granular level

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:20.280
to discuss the sources of these digital downloads.

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:26.840
Again, solid black means "no download" and
polka dots means a multiplicity of sources.

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.480
Single source documents are delineated here
using vertical lines for university resources

00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:36.420
and unpatterned data points which were found
through the random availability via the Internet

00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:37.970
Archive.

00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:44.480
Again, just by looking for a small sample
of university documents that might have been

00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:50.319
made over the course of 25 years, I've encountered
a digital wall with nearly half of the documents

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.620
in question, as well as a lack of intentional
preservation.

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:55.530
I look forward to your [questions].
