The webcast will also be recorded. Join the ACRL Digital Curation Interest Group for our next webinar "Practical Data Management" Speaker: Dr. Kristin Briney, Data Services Librarian, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Description: Most researchers are not trained on how to manage digital data, let alone deal with the data policies, digital preservation, and data sharing systems that are a data curator?s main concern. While curation is important, there are some very practical things that any researcher can do to make their data safer and more organized. This talk will cover these fundamentals of data management, including: file naming and file organization conventions, storage and backup best practices, keeping good documentation, and promoting future file usability. These practices will help the average researcher with their data but are also useful to anyone with digital files. Date: 4/30/2014 2PM CST; 60 minutes long (Noon PST, 3PM EST) Event Registration Page: http://ala.adobeconnect.com/e28v33its8g/event/registration.html Event Login Page: http://ala.adobeconnect.com/e28v33its8g/event/login.html Access: Only registered users may enter the room (guest access is blocked).

I have to say, it sounds almost identical to a similar session put on at the AGU meeting in December, lots of "pre-decisional" presentations due to individual agencies waiting on OSTP responses. The only overlap in agencies though was NOAA. (also given by Jeff DLB). I'm working from memory here, as my notes aren't that great (I was one of the folks convening the AGU session). We had talks from NASA, NOAA and USGS. USGS and NOAA didn't really talk about their responses, as they hadn't heard back from OSTP at that point. (they suspected that the shutdown had affected the schedule for their response). They instead talked about other projects they were working on to make their data more easily findable to the public, and the type of data that they had. (eg, USGS had decades if not centuries of notebooks from surveys that they were working to digitize). NASA *did* talk about what was in their response, possibly because NASA had assigned a new chief scientist since they had submitted their response, and she hadn't been involved in the process. (and she went first, so didn't know that the other agencies weren't actually going to talk about their responses). I guess now that it's been almost 4 months, it won't be as big of a deal to mention. Their initial proposal was a 2 year embargo, but the timer didn't start until after a paper was published. I tried getting clarification of what had to be released, and what had to be released if they never published an article. She hadn't been involved with the initial response, but her belief was that the way it was worded they only had to release the data used in the paper (which means that if they cherry-picked the data, they don't have to release all of what they collected), and that if there wasn't a publication, they weren't obligated to release the data. I have no idea what their final policy might be. -Joe > > On 4/3/2014 2:58 PM, Kristin Briney wrote: >> Thank for putting this together Carolyn! >> >> I've also been playing around with Storify today and just put together the tweets from this session: http://sfy.co/bdwS.

Message-ID: *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* April 8, 2014 Read it online: http://bit.ly/1hUQw2G *Fedora 4 Call to Action-Test Your Favorite Feature!* *Winchester, MA * A Fedora 4.0 beta will be released in time for Open Repositories 2014. The full list of features to be included in the 4.0 beta and the release is *available here *. One of the primary goals of Fedora 4 is to produce stable, production-ready software that can be used by the entire repository community. The objective of the 4.0 release is to give the development team an opportunity to receive feedback from early adopters and improve the stability of the software before recommending it for existing Fedora 3 repositories. To this end, the initial Fedora 4.0 release is targeted at new installations, not migrations from existing Fedora installations. There are a number of desirable features, including support for migrations from earlier versions of Fedora, that are not scheduled to appear in the 4.0 release. Instead, these features will be scheduled, based on priority and available development resources, for upcoming releases in the 4.x line. Migration support is a particularly important feature, so this is likely to be included in the 4.1 release. All planned features, along with their associated use cases, can be found on the *wiki *. The timeline for the 4.0 release, along with further releases in the 4.x line, is subject to the level of community engagement. Fedora 4 is designed, developed, tested, and documented entirely based on community contributions. For Fedora 4 to be a successful project these contributions need to continue. *There are at least three ways to contribute:* *Acceptance Testing* Fedora 4.0 features are tied to use cases submitted by members of the community. Once a use case is considered to be satisfied by the development team, it goes back to the community for acceptance testing. No use case or feature is considered complete until it has been validated by the community. The 4.0 feature set, with associated use cases, can be found in the wiki. Acceptance testing can be as simple as loading up the one-click installer, testing a specific feature, and providing feedback. More information can be found on the Acceptance Testing page in the wiki. If you are interested in testing a use case or feature, please contact David Wilcox ( dwilcox at duraspace.org). *Beta Pilots* In addition to acceptance testing, we also need more in-depth testing in the form of Beta Pilots. Institutions participating as Beta Pilots will sign a letter of agreement to commit to a 4-6 month testing phase where they will install the Fedora 4.0 beta, ingest a variety of content, and test the software as extensively as possible. The Fedora Product Manager and Fedora Tech Lead will work with these institutions to hold regular update meetings and to produce a detailed report at the end of the six month Beta Pilot period. Participating institutions will have access to support from the Fedora 4 developer community, including the Fedora mailing lists, IRC channel, and regular meetings. They will also be referenced in press releases and other materials relating to the launch of Fedora 4.0. *Developer Commitments* Fedora 4 is developed entirely by volunteers from the community. The current set of volunteer commitments extends until the end of June, so we need to line up the following six months of commitments soon. These commitments are essential to Fedora 4 development; without them, we will be unable to deliver a 4.0 release or subsequent releases in the 4.x line. The Fedora 4 development team follows an Agile "Scrum" methodology; developers sign up for a number of two-week code sprints, and they are expected to be fully committed to the development team for the length of each scheduled sprint. Any institution that commits a developer for at least 0.5 FTE over the six month period is eligible to sit on the Leadership Group, which helps guide the software in the right direction. Please contact Andrew Woods (awoods at duraspace.org) to sign up and join the team! -- Carol Minton Morris DuraSpace Director of Marketing and Communications cmmorris at DuraSpace.org Skype: carolmintonmorris 607 592-3135 Twitter at DuraSpace Twitter at DuraCloud http://DuraSpace.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you looking for some practical data skills? Do you have coworkers going who could use some hands on time with data to improve their skills? Do you have a non-sensitive data set around your library that you keep saying that you'd like to DO something with? Join Sarah Sheehan, Nathan Putnam and Abigail Goben (me!) on Friday, June 27 in Las Vegas for: "Managing Data: Tools for Plans and Data Scrubbing" As data continues to come to the fore, new tools are becoming available for librarians to assist faculty and use with their own data. This preconference will focus on the DMPTool and OpenRefine. The DMPTool will be presented to demonstrate customization features, review data management plans, best and worst practices and writing a data plan for a data set a library may collect. OpenRefine will be demonstrated with sample data to show potential use with library data sets and more of the data lifecycle process. We'll also cover applying applicable metadata. http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2014/03/lita-preconferences-held-ala-annual Along with exploring the specific tools, this preconference will be about getting your hands dirty with an actual library data set. While we'll have a sample data set, attendees are encouraged to look around their library for non-sensitive data and bring it to give us even more robust examples. I'm looking forward to a rousing discussion of the opportunities and pitfalls of sharing library data. Please let Sarah or I know if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing you in Vegas. -- Abigail Goben, MLS abigailgoben at gmail.com http://HedgehogLibrarian.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The only overlap in agencies though was NOAA. (also given by Jeff DLB). I'm working from memory here, as my notes aren't that great (I was one of the folks convening the AGU session). We had talks from NASA, NOAA and USGS. USGS and NOAA didn't really talk about their responses, as they hadn't heard back from OSTP at that point.

(eg, USGS had decades if not centuries of notebooks from surveys that they were working to digitize). NASA *did* talk about what was in their response, possibly because NASA had assigned a new chief scientist since they had submitted their response, and she hadn't been involved in the process. (and she went first, so didn't know that the other agencies weren't actually going to talk about their responses). I guess now that it's been almost 4 months, it won't be as big of a deal to mention. Their initial proposal was a 2 year embargo, but the timer didn't start until after a paper was published. I tried getting clarification of what had to be released, and what had to be released if they never published an article. She hadn't been involved with the initial response, but her belief was that the way it was worded they only had to release the data used in the paper (which means that if they cherry-picked the data, they don't have to release all of what they collected), and that if there wasn't a publication, they weren't obligated to release the data. I have no idea what their final policy might be. -Joe > > On 4/3/2014 2:58 PM, Kristin Briney wrote: >> Thank for putting this together Carolyn! >> >> I've also been playing around with Storify today and just put together the tweets from this session: http://sfy.co/bdwS.

Registration for the Data Summit 2 can be made through the GPN/GWLA registration page. Registration fees apply to GPN meeting events held May 29-30. Call for Proposals, 7 Minute Lightning Talks Has your institution taken a unique, creative, or particularly proactive approach to helping research manage and share research data? If so, please consider submitting a proposal for a Lightning Talk at this year's Data Summit 2. Lightning Talks are a fun way to share ideas and best practices about managing and sharing research data that don't warrant a full-blown breakout session. Successful proposals will show evidence of being lively, fast-paced and thought provoking, while appealing to a wide audience. Topics can be practical or conceptual ideas and should showcase effective practices or highlight new projects in various stages of development. Lightning Talk Format Each presenter will have seven minutes total. Slides may be used. There will not be additional time for audience questions, but the Lightning Talks will proceed our exhibit preview and reception, so there will be opportunity to share conversation. All Lightning Talks will take place during the afternoon of Wednesday, May 28th, and be presented in a general session open to all attendees. We expect that, at maximum, seven Lightning Talks proposals will be accepted for the conference. Talks will be timed to ensure sufficient time for all presenters. Talks with multiple presenters must adhere to the same seven minute time constraint. Submission Information Lightning Talk proposals should submitted only through the linked form and must be received by Friday, May 2, 2014.

Zar Symposium* *April 25, 2014* *The John Crerar Library* *The University of Chicago* Data is captured by computers and instruments on a continual basis, flooding researchers in images, video, audio, logs, simulations, and more. This data is crucial to research, teaching and learning at academic institutions around the world. Understanding the impact of data on researchers, libraries and institutions as a whole is critical to achieving long-term data preservation, appropriate sharing among communities, and enabling transformative new science. This symposium will provide participants with an understanding of how data is used in real world applications, as well as examples of collaborative efforts between institutions, groups or individuals specific to collection, use, access, preservation and overall management of data. *Full Schedule: * http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/crerar/zar/kaz2014schedule.html *This project has been funded in whole or in part with Federal Funds from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. * -- Abigail Goben, MLS abigailgoben at gmail.com http://HedgehogLibrarian.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Winchester, MA Terabytes are the new gigabytes of 2014. Just as you reach into your pocket and discover more change than you expected, so it is that information managers are finding terabytes of audio and visual assets and complex research data sets where there used to be mere gigabytes. Like loose change, it?s nice to have extra, but it?s sometimes hard to know where to keep it. As institutional demands for management and storage increase, finding the right place at the right price to store burgeoning data just got more economical with lower DuraCloud prices. *Prices for all DuraCloud subscription plans have been cut in half.*Additional terabytes of storage are now available for 50% of their original cost. See DuraCloud prices here.
