Subject: [Rdap] DIL Symposium Sep. 23-24: live streaming URL


We are pleased to announce that much of the Data Information Literacy (DIL) symposium hosted by the Purdue University Libraries on Sept 23rd and 24th will be streamed live on the internet.


The URL for the live stream is: http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/i82md


The twitter hash tag for the symposium is #datainfolit.


Please note that, although we will make an effort to review the twitter feed during the symposium, we will be unable to respond to any questions or comments directly.


The DIL symposium will explore roles for practicing librarians in teaching competencies in data management and curation to graduate students.  With support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, librarians from Purdue University, Cornell University, the University of Minnesota and the University of Oregon have investigated this topic through developing and implementing "data information literacy" (DIL) instruction programs for graduate students in a range of science and engineering disciplines.


More information about the DIL Symposium can be found at: http://wiki.lib.purdue.edu/display/ste/Symposium


The schedule for the symposium is available at: http://wiki.lib.purdue.edu/display/ste/DIL+Symposium+Schedule


We have asked that attendees read two articles before coming to the DIL Symposium.  They are:


*         Carlson, J., Fosmire, M., Miller, C. & Sapp Nelson, M. (2011).Determining data information literacy needs: A study of students and research faculty. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 11(2). 629-657.  Pre-print: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/lib_fsdocs/23/


*         Carlson, J., Johnston, L., Westra, B., & Nichols, M. (2013). Developing an approach for data management education: A report from the data information literacy project. International Journal of Digital Curation, 8(1). 204-217. http://www.ijdc.net/index.php/ijdc/article/view/8.1.204/306


No registration for viewing the live stream is required.  We hope that you will be able to join us, virtually, for this event.  The DIL Symposium will be recorded and made available afterwards through e-pubs, Purdue University's Institutional Repository.

Best,

offering users an integrated structure?Content Model Architecture?for
persisting and delivering the essential characteristics of digital objects
in Fedora. The final 3.0 releases are aimed at making sure that Fedora 3
users continue to have access to stable repository functionality.

Greetings,
As some of you know, the Research Data Alliance's Metadata Standards Directory Working Group is working on developing a robust and usable directory of metadata standards used in the scientific data contexts.
We are beginning our work by asking for contributions from the community.
Contributions are simply submitted through a web form and will be incorporated into the information that the Digital Curation Centre has complied in an effort to document metadata standards.
The Working Group is looking for information about metadata standards; the tools and use cases associated with them, and additional information that shows where and how scientists use them worldwide.
By participating, you will be contributing information that can enhance the Digital Curation Centre's metadata directory (http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards).   A long term goal is to contribute to a community sustainable directory of metadata standards.
The form can be found here: Metadata Directory Information Collection<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kzV3-Ri7LkYq1_fPo811CSKcu8nn6bBYCEm1A73KWFQ/viewform> or directly at: http://bit.ly/1fToaqd

PASIG Webinar:  Implementing Sustainable Digital Preservation

Webinar Date:  Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 11:30am-12:30pm (EDT)

There has been a lot of investment and activity in digital preservation over
the last decade and a lot of it has been supported by grant funded activity
and research projects. The ?learn by doing? approach and the prodigious
number of beta systems and project reports have all played their part in
helping to mature the digital preservation field - and judging by the
changing tone of conferences over the years, the community has come a long
way. So far - in fact - that a lot of organisations are now at the stage
when theory is less important than action. They need to work out the best
implementation paths and make procurement choices. 

So the economic landscape for digital preservation has shifted and the onus
is now on many organisations to look closely at their needs and their
objectives and to make investment choices that are sustainable as part of
the business needs of their organisation rather than as an adjunct activity
that is supported by ?soft? research money. Work being taken forward by the
4C Project is looking at providing resources to support organisations to
make sustainable digital preservation investment choices and this webinar
will describe some of that work. 

But budgets are hard to secure and digital preservation remains a difficult
case to argue so collaboration with like-minded organisations and the
establishment of shared services should support the arguments and drive down
the cost. This is one of the core messages that underpins the Aligning
National Approaches to Digital Preservation (ANADP) initiative and this will
also be described and explained during the webinar.

Biography: Neil Grindley
