I thought this might be of interest to this group.

Mark was one of the speakers at this year's RDAP.

(which I could prove if I actually got all of the video encoded ... I've learned my mistake and will never again buy a new camera right before I have to film something ... or, when my second recording system dies, I'll go back to my known-to-be decent system, not the new one)

-Joe

(I think I have all of the video ... the problem is, the video's HD, and I have to leave my laptop uninterupted for hours at a time, as hope it doesn't fail.  (which I haven't had a good track record with))

*--forwarded from Thorny Staples, Smithsonian Institution--*

*
*Application Programmer
The Office of Research Information Services (ORIS), Smithsonian Institution*

The Smithsonian Institution was founded in 1846 for the ?increase and
diffusion of knowledge?.  It has evolved into the world?s largest museum
and research complex, consisting of 19 museums and galleries, the National
Zoological Park, and 17 research and advanced study facilities, both
scientific and cultural heritage in nature.

In 2011, the Office of Research Information Services (ORIS) was created,
within the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) to address the
need to manage digital research data. Over the last 15 months ORIS has
built a first prototype of ?Sidora? a general information architecture and
software that is designed to be used by Smithsonian researchers to capture
and organize the digital ?evidence? as they create it in their research
process and use it directly in their analysis and dissemination activities.
Based on a Fedora/Islandora/Drupal stack, the goal is to create a ?system
of systems? that actively supports the research process as it unfolds,
leaving behind a coherent expression of the digital content that was
generated which can permanently stand alongside related publications.

We are looking for a developer who can help us build upon a very early
working version of the software to create a very powerful, user friendly
system that will support research that creates and uses digital information
in all media with a wide variety of software tools. A successful candidate
will have good experience building web applications using Drupal (PHP) and
javascript (with libraries such as EXT-JS), as well as experience with
processing and managing a variety of digital media encodings. Experience
with repositories systems such as Fedora, semantic web technologies (RDF),
java programming, XML, and web services is desired. Good communication
skills and the ability to work with a diverse, geographically dispersed
team are necessary.

This position will soon be posted through the Smithsonian?s normal channels
(http://www.sihr.si.edu/jobs.cfm) where candidates will need to apply. It
is a two-year grant-funded position with benefits that closely match those
of a Federal position. Questions about the position can be addressed to
Thorny Staples at staplest at si.edu.

Message-ID: <222BB7E03A7C42C0B7E6E9E17B3BCBB4@asist.local>

The next PASIG monthly webinar will be August 20 at 11:30am EST. Stephen
Abrams has been a long-time contributor to the PASIG and is consistently one
of our most popular conference speakers. This webinar is free to ASIS&T
members, $20 for non-members. It will be archived. The registration website
is:

http://asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-PASIG-8-20-2013-register.html 

Title:                      Building Communities and Services in Support of
Data-Intensive Research
Presenter:              Stephen Abrams, California Digital Library (CDL)

Abstract:

Information technology and resources are an integral and indispensable part
of the contemporary academic enterprise.  In particular, technological
advances have nurtured a new paradigm of data-intensive research. However,
far too much of this activity still takes place in silos, to the detriment
of open scholarly inquiry, integrity, and advancement. To counteract this
tendency, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has been
developing and deploying a comprehensive suite of curation services that
facilitate widespread data management, preservation, publication, sharing,
and reuse. Through these services UC3 is engaging with new communities of
use: in addition to its traditional stakeholders in cultural heritage memory
organizations, e.g., libraries, museums, and archives, the UC3 service suite
is now attracting significant adoption by research projects, laboratories,
and individual faculty researchers. This webinar will present an
introduction to five specific services - DMPTool, DataUp, EZID, Merritt, Web
Archiving Service (WAS) - applicable to data curation throughout the
scholarly lifecycle, two recent initiatives in collaboration with UC
campuses, UC Berkeley Research Hub and UC San Francisco DataShare, and the
ways in which they encourage and promote new communities of practice and
greater transparency in scholarly research.

Biography:

Stephen Abrams is the associate director of the University of California
Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library (CDL), with
responsibility for strategic planning, innovation, and technical oversight
of UC3's services, systems, projects, and collections.

I realized that the RDAP folks might be interested in this topic.  (I know there's some overlap on the mailing list, and this was initially looking for Europeans, but there's been further discussion about how the US folks can try to get funding, too.)

It's a two stage proposal process, and the first stage is pretty light touch, involving only a couple of pages of justification. They key part of the first proposal is collecting names of researchers interested who come from countries all around Europe. (Though note that if we decide to go for a Trans-Domain Proposal, it's only a one-stage proposal process of 10-15 pages)

Part 1: E-Science Librarianship

Date: September 11, 2013

Time: 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern time

Event webpage: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2013/webinars/escience

 

Part 2: Libraries and Big Data

Date: September 18, 2013

Time: 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern time

Event webpage: http://www.niso.org/news/events/2013/webinars/data_curation

======================================================================

 

NISO will be holding a two-part webinar on September 11 and 18 to discuss
Research Data Curation. Part 1 will discuss the new role of E-Science
Librarian. In Part 2, speakers will explore Libraries and Big Data and their
role in data curation. You can register for either or both parts. There is a
25% discount to registrants of both parts.

Part 1: E-Science Librarianship - Presenters will discuss the role of the
library in the academic research enterprise and provide an overview of new
librarian strategies, tools, and technologies developed to support the
lifecycle of scholarly production and data curation. Specific challenges
that face research libraries will be described and potential responses will
be explored, along with a discussion of the types of skills and services
that will be required for librarians to effectively curate research output. 

Topics and speakers are:

*	The Evolution of E-Science Librarianship in the New England Region
and Beyond  - Elaine Martin, Editor, Journal of eScience Librarianship,
University of Massachusetts Medical School
*	The Digital Research Enterprise: Identifying New Roles for Libraries
- Chris Shaffer, University Librarian and Associate Professor, Oregon Health
& Science University Library
*	Seeking Our Niche: Understanding the Needs of Research Personnel to
Develop E-Science Services - Megan Sapp Nelson, Associate Professor of
Library Sciences, Purdue University

 

Part 2: Libraries and Big Data - Faculty in all disciplines are increasingly
creating and/or incorporating big data into their research and institutions
are creating repositories and other tools to manage it all. There are many
challenges to effectively manage and curate this data-challenges that are
both similar and different to managing document archives. Libraries can and
are assuming a key role in making this information more useful, visible, and
accessible, such as creating taxonomies, designing metadata schemes, and
systematizing retrieval methods. Our panelists will talk about their
experience with big data curation, best practices for research data
management, and the tools used by libraries as they take on this evolving
role. 

Topics and speakers are:

*	Academic Libraries Get Ready: Big data is here and it needs a
(caring) home -  Lisa Johnston, Research Services Librarian, Co-Director of
the University Digital Conservancy, University of Minnesota Libraries

Hi all,
During my workshop on data management I spend a little time talking about what journals are now doing regarding images submitted along with their manuscripts. If the image has been altered some reject outright, some only if interpretation of the image has changed.

I've been wondering if anyone has addressed this issue of altering images and developed a best practices for their campus. Id so would you mind sharing?

Daureen,

Here's a web page from Kirsten Miles who used to work with Andrew & I:
http://scienceimageintegrity.org/

She started giving workshops here at UVa in the School of Medicine on best practices and how "not" to change images. I am not sure how involved she is with this these days. Her contact information is on the web page.

I've found these simple guidelines by Univ of Arizona to be useful. The 12

usually the group has more comments to add.

Hi all,
During my workshop on data management I spend a little time talking about what journals are now doing regarding images submitted along with their manuscripts. If the image has been altered some reject outright, some only if interpretation of the image has changed.

I've been wondering if anyone has addressed this issue of altering images and developed a best practices for their campus. Id so would you mind sharing?

Hello,

As data services are expanding at the University of Illinois, we are thinking about how we track data questions/requests.  We are interested to learn more about how other libraries are tracking data questions, for example:


*         Do you systematically track data questions?  Is this library-wide or just within a specific unit in the library?

*         What system do you use to record data questions?  Is it the same system used to record reference questions or is it separate?

We would appreciate hearing about practices and experiences at other libraries.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah Williams

Sarah,

 

That's a great question - we've been playing with some workflow management
solutions, but really don't have anything settled yet that would easily
support our data services.  So far, we've been keeping a spreadsheet on a
shared drive, which really isn't adequate.

 

I'd be very interested in any suggestions!

I'm not sure that I'd really say that it's a practice for libraries in 
particular, but depending on what sort of questions you're fielding, they 
might be suitable for crowd-sourced answers.

In some of the programming language & web development toolkit communities, 
they'll have multiple venues for questions, with one being Stack Overflow:

 	http://stackoverflow.com/

(they'll specifically mention on their website what tag to use, so they 
can more effectively monitor the site for questions that need to be 
answered).

Recently, the group that runs Stack Overflow set up a new site for 'open 
data'.  (unfortunately, there's still the question of exactly what is 
'open data')

 	http://opendata.stackexchange.com/

It's a pretty low-traffic site right now, but it might pick up as one of 
the current redesigns for data.gov is taking the approach of linking to 
them for people to ask questions.

-Joe

(and I should mention that I'm currently one of the moderators on the site 
... as is one of the data.gov people, and a phd student from Austria)

Thanks, Aletia.

We're also thinking about tracking data questions for statistical purposes, for example, to know how many data-related questions the library answered in a semester.  I don't know if other institutions are tracking these types of questions separately from reference questions, and if so, how.

We're tracking our questions through a form we set up using Qualtrics.  It really isn't very elaborate and we need to refine it further.  We just implemented the new form based off of a simple form we had originally set up using Google forms.  Qualtrics is more powerful and more secure and will be easy to capture the data for analysis.  We track our questions and use separately from the Reference Department.  We use the same tracking for social science data questions as well as research data questions.

It seems to me that many universities have university-wide licenses to Qualtrics, so if you happen to be at one of those institutions, might be worth looking into.

?         Do you systematically track data questions?  Is this library-wide or just within a specific unit in the library?

?         What system do you use to record data questions?  Is it the same system used to record reference questions or is it separate?

We would appreciate hearing about practices and experiences at other libraries.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah Williams

If we ever get set up with one of the newer discipline-independent ELNs at this campus (politics is getting in the way) I was going to set up a template for the library to track data questions. From what I've seen it looks doable.

My colleague Megan Bresnahan and I are in the process of writing a grant to build a tool (tentatively called DataQ) that would be somewhat similar to what Joe mentioned, except it would be tailored to the types of library data questions Sarah asked about. The basic idea is to have a venue for librarians to share data questions they have received (along with their answers if they so choose). Answers to questions would be crowdsourced with additional feedback provided by an editorial team who would also be involved with setting policies and guidelines for using the tool.

We are in the early stages of this project, but if anyone is interested in discussing this further and/or contributing initial content or expertise feel free to contact me off list at andrew.m.johnson at colorado.edu. 

Also, to answer Sarah's initial questions, we currently track research data management questions separately using a shared Google spreadsheet; however, we are considering a move over to the system the library uses to track all other reference questions. Part of the reason for this is to make sure we're capturing all data questions, not just those that come through our Research Data Services unit.

Best,
Andrew

I'm not sure that I'd really say that it's a practice for libraries in particular, but depending on what sort of questions you're fielding, they might be suitable for crowd-sourced answers.

In some of the programming language & web development toolkit communities, they'll have multiple venues for questions, with one being Stack Overflow:

 	http://stackoverflow.com/

(they'll specifically mention on their website what tag to use, so they can more effectively monitor the site for questions that need to be answered).

Recently, the group that runs Stack Overflow set up a new site for 'open data'.  (unfortunately, there's still the question of exactly what is 'open data')

 	http://opendata.stackexchange.com/

It's a pretty low-traffic site right now, but it might pick up as one of the current redesigns for data.gov is taking the approach of linking to them for people to ask questions.

-Joe

(and I should mention that I'm currently one of the moderators on the site ... as is one of the data.gov people, and a phd student from Austria) _______________________________________________

I have also been thinking about tracking statistics. I put all of my data reference questions into the same pot as our regular reference question tracking system, which is desktracker, under our bibliographer statistics form. There is a field to annotate the questions, so I can write in the question text if I wanted to go back and pull up all the ones that were data/stats...although I have not actually done this.

I am planning to create a form in desktracker specifically for our data management consultations so we can track these separately. I am still working out all of the different criteria we want to collect. I believe these will eventually go into the same pot for total reference questions that we report to ARL.

Instruction sessions also have their own form in desktracker and the plan is to start putting our data management workshops in here too.

Sarah,

That?s a great question ? we?ve been playing with some workflow management solutions, but really don?t have anything settled yet that would easily support our data services.  So far, we?ve been keeping a spreadsheet on a shared drive, which really isn?t adequate.

I?d be very interested in any suggestions!
