Byrd Williams Family Photography Collection Digitization Project Phase III (open access)

Byrd Williams Family Photography Collection Digitization Project Phase III

Data management plan for the TSLAC TexTreasures Grant for the Byrd Williams Family Photography Collection Digitization Project Phase III. This project will allow for the addition of 3,000 historical Texas images to the Portal to Texas History. The images selected for inclusion will focus on the work of Byrd Williams III and Byrd Williams IV, with an emphasis on unique and notable people and places in north Texas between the years 1930-2010.

Making Audio/Visual Digital Collections Content Accessible for All Texans (open access)

Making Audio/Visual Digital Collections Content Accessible for All Texans

Data management plan for the grant "Making Audio/Visual Digital Collections Content Accessible for All Texans." Project to improve audio/visual (A/V) content accessibility available through The Portal to Texas History at the University of North Texas Libraries. The project addresses the needs of Deaf and Blind users who often lack fundamental access for many A/V materials in digital repositories while also providing benefit to abled users and those with other special needs through efforts to transcribe, translate, describe, interpret, and chapter both research-oriented and primary-source A/V content.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience on Accelerated Deep Learning through A Hardware-Software Collaborative Approach (open access)

Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience on Accelerated Deep Learning through A Hardware-Software Collaborative Approach

Data management plan for the grant, "REU Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience on Accelerated Deep Learning through A Hardware-Software Collaborative Approach." This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program at the University of North Texas will enhance the knowledge and research skills of a diverse cohort of undergraduate students through empowering, innovative, and interdisciplinary research experiences in developing Deep Learning applications and systems. The program aims to 1) expose undergraduate students to real-world and cutting-edge research focused on accelerated deep learning through combined hardware and software development; 2) encourage more undergraduate students to continue their academic careers and seek graduate degrees in computer science, computer engineering, and related disciplines; 3) develop research skills and improve communication and collaborative skills in undergraduate students.

CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems (open access)

CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems

Data management plan for the grant, "CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems." Research seeking to reinvent on-chip networks for GPU-accelerated systems to remove a communication bottleneck. A major outcome of the project is a set of techniques that enable the development of effective and efficient network-on-chip architectures. Graphics processing units (GPUs) have rapidly evolved to become high-performance accelerators for data-parallel computing. To fully take advantage of the computing power of GPUs, on-chip networks need to provide timely data movement to satisfy the requests of data by the processing cores. Currently, there exists a big gap between the fast-growing processing power of the GPU processing cores and the slow-increasing on-chip network bandwidth. Because of this, GPU-accelerated systems are interconnect-dominated and the on-chip network becomes their performance bottleneck.

Raise Up Radio: Family and Youth Engagement in Library Supported Learning Via Radio (open access)

Raise Up Radio: Family and Youth Engagement in Library Supported Learning Via Radio

Data management plan for the grant "Raise Up Radio: Family and Youth Engagement in Library Supported Learning Via Radio." The University of North Texas and the University of Alabama, in partnership with the Pottsboro Area Library and the Tuscaloosa Public Library, will develop a program called "Raise Up Radio: Family and Youth Engagement in Library Supported Learning Via Radio" to address educational inequities that became even more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic and create a professional network of librarians who use radio broadcasts. Over two years, six libraries serving high-need rural communities in Texas and Alabama will each implement a total of four, five-week educational programs delivered over local radio stations. The program will leverage existing community resources to create accessible educational content through collaborative partnerships. It will connect libraries, museums, and educational institutions with students in rural communities through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) content. Local youth and families will develop these new radio programs using best practices for equitable youth and family engagement in learning. To support and expand these efforts, team members will develop a toolkit of resources and form a community of practice for library professionals seeking to design radio programming in partnership with their …

School Librarians Facilitating the Success of English Language Learners (open access)

School Librarians Facilitating the Success of English Language Learners

Data management plan for the grant "School Librarians Facilitating the Success of English Language Learners." Grant for the University of North Texas Departments of Information Science, Learning Technologies, and Linguistics, in partnership with the International Association of School Librarians, to hold a forum about building the capacity of school librarians to provide services for English language learners (ELLs). The forum will convene contributors from the school library community and ELL stakeholders, such as linguists, ELL community members, public librarians, educational technologists, teachers, and school administrators to explore strategies and best practices for teaching ELLs.
