Notes

Abstract: Archivists, librarians, and language community members need to develop knowledge and skills for stewarding language archive collections in digital repositories. One of the areas that digital repository managers must be proficient in is evaluating the use of collections and items in their repositories and identifying possible reasons when the level of use is lower than expected, so that measures can be taken to improve discoverability and reusability of valuable language resources. Developing these use evaluation skills, along with comparative analysis skills, is part of the learning objectives of the final module in the recently developed graduate course on community language archiving and curation for information professionals, offered at the University of North Texas. In this paper, we present this learning module, with the focus on the practical assignment in which students evaluate digital language archive usage through comparative analyses of stratified random samples and interpret their findings. We report selected results of this learning in a summer semester of 2024/2025 academic year and discuss future steps.
