Please excuse the duplicates*** Syracuse University's School of Information Studies welcomes applicants for our doctoral program. Admitted students are assured of at least four year's funding (including summers) along with tuition and other support. The interdisciplinary nature of our program is visible through the backgrounds of the 40 students currently pursuing their Ph.D. Students hail from ten countries and a range of academic backgrounds: communications and other social sciences, business, computer science, library science, information science, and others. This makes our doctoral program a welcoming and inclusive place for scholars from under-represented populations, something we see as a defining element of our program. Doctoral students pursue individualized course plans that are tuned to their particular research interests and needs. This means advising and, more importantly, close working relationships with faculty members is a cornerstone of the Syracuse University iSchool Ph.D. program. This is why it is both residential and full-time. We celebrate the success of our recent graduates who are taking up tenure-track positions in premier research institutions and exceptional liberal arts colleges, excelling in academic and policy think tanks, and pursuing entrepreneurial success! Current students are earning awards for their publications and dissertation work, continuing a long tradition of such recognition. For 2015, we are particularly interested in speaking with applicants and seeing applications from those whose interests align with one or more of the following research areas: * Text and data mining * Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval * Data science and data analytics * Information policy, Internet governance, and telecommunications policy * Information technology policy and globalization * Librarianship * Mobile computing * Usability, accessibility, and universal design * Data infrastructure and services in support of research * Organizational impacts of ICTs (e.g., Citizen Science, FLOSS, Wikipedia, mobile work, distributed scientific collaboration, health IT) * Digitally-enabled research methods (e.g., Trace ethnography, socio-computational approaches) * Smart grids/energy informatics and Infrastructure studies * Information security and privacy (policies, management, and technologies) * Social Computing, social media, social networks, and crowdsourcing You can learn more about the Syracuse iSchool faculty and interests at http://ischool.syr.edu/future/doctoral/research_areas.aspx. You can learn more about the doctoral program and application (due 3 January, 2014) at http://ischool.syr.edu/future/doctoral/index.aspx. Please reach out to the program director, Steve Sawyer, at ssawyer at syr.edu, or our doctoral programs manager, Jennifer Barclay, at jabarcla at syr.edu, with questions! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jian Qin Syracuse University Ph.D., Professor 311 Hinds Hall School of Information Studies Syracuse, NY 13244, USA Tel: +1 (315)443-5642 http://jianqin.metadataetc.org/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

November 4, 2014 ? The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is seeking comments on the draft recommended practice Protocol for Exchanging Serial Content (PESC), NISO RP-23-201x. This Recommended Practice was developed to provide guidance on the best way to manage all of the elements of digital serial content packaging in a manner that aids both the content provider and the content recipient in understanding what has been delivered and received. ?As part of their missions, many different organizations?libraries, archives, indexing services, content aggregators, publishers, and content creators?need to exchange and work with digital files that make up serial content,? states Leslie Johnston, Director of Digital Preservation, National Archives and Records Administration, and Co-chair of the NISO PESC Working Group. ?When digital serial content is exchanged, the files that comprise a serial ?publication? are packaged together in some manner and these packages can be highly variable. Currently, there is no standardized packaging format that addresses the level of specificity and granularity needed and the PESC Recommended Practice was developed to fill this gap.? ?The recommendations in this document describe preferred practices for the packaging and exchange of serial content to enable the automation of processes to receive and manage serial content at scale,? explains Kimberly A. Tryka, Research Data Librarian, National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), and Co-chair of the NISO PESC Working Group. ?By following these practices, organizations can make it clear what content has been transmitted, how it is organized, and what processing is required when a new package is received.? ?NISO is soliciting feedback on this draft Recommended Practice from any organization that needs to exchange serial publication information,? states Nettie Lagace, NISO Associate Director for Programs. ?This feedback will be used to make any needed revisions to the document before final publication of the recommendations.? The draft recommended practice is open for public comment through December 5, 2014. To download the draft or submit online comments, visit the Protocol for Exchanging Serial Content (PESC) Working Group webpage at: www.niso.org/workrooms/pesc/ *About NISO* NISO fosters the development and maintenance of standards that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective interchange of information so that it can be trusted for use in research and learning. To fulfill this mission, NISO engages libraries, publishers, information aggregators, and other organizations that support learning, research, and scholarship through the creation, organization, management, and curation of knowledge. NISO works with intersecting communities of interest and across the entire lifecycle of an information standard.

My whole professional life has been frustrated by public services librarians who think that there is nothing more to information service than reference/liaison work. I, too, have the problem of colleagues not understanding what I do. As a result of a reorg, we have a librarian in charge of staff development, and she asked me to design a curriculum of presentations, Web pages, wikis, or whatever I come up with to acquaint staff with data curation, and help them feel more confident about explaining it to their patrons and recognizing opportunities for the library (me) to come in and archive their data or introduce them to available data sets-what Daureen has just posted about. This wouldn't help in a review going on right now, but maybe it would help to point out that you have engendered interest or discussion among your colleagues worldwide. :-{)} Brad Gulliford Data Management and Curation University of Texas at Arlington Library Arlington, Texas, USA From: Rdap [mailto:rdap-bounces at asis.org] On Behalf Of Eaker, Chris Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 7:30 AM To: Research Data, Access and Preservation Subject: Re: [Rdap] Data management and public services Hi Daureen, I have run into a similar problem.

My whole professional life has been frustrated by public services librarians who think that there is nothing more to information service than reference/liaison work. I, too, have the problem of colleagues not understanding what I do. As a result of a reorg, we have a librarian in charge of staff development, and she asked me to design a curriculum of presentations, Web pages, wikis, or whatever I come up with to acquaint staff with data curation, and help them feel more confident about explaining it to their patrons and recognizing opportunities for the library (me) to come in and archive their data or introduce them to available data sets?what Daureen has just posted about. This wouldn?t help in a review going on right now, but maybe it would help to point out that you have engendered interest or discussion among your colleagues worldwide. :-{)} Brad Gulliford Data Management and Curation University of Texas at Arlington Library Arlington, Texas, USA From: Rdap [mailto:rdap-bounces at asis.org] On Behalf Of Eaker, Chris Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 7:30 AM To: Research Data, Access and Preservation Subject: Re: [Rdap] Data management and public services Hi Daureen, I have run into a similar problem. Though my colleagues weren't critical of my data curation work, I was told that during my retention review discussion, they focused mainly on my liaison work in my subject area (Architecture, which is a minor portion of my job) and discussed the major part, data curation, very little. The reason, according to my supervisor, was because they didn't know enough about it, so they didn't know how to assess it for merit. My goal over this next year is to better educate my colleagues on what I do in that area so they know how to assess it in future reviews. That might be your issue or it might not, but it wouldn't hurt to make a concerted effort to help your colleagues better understand what it is that you do.

Though my colleagues weren't critical of my data curation work, I was told that during my retention review discussion, they focused mainly on my liaison work in my subject area (Architecture, which is a minor portion of my job) and discussed the major part, data curation, very little. The reason, according to my supervisor, was because they didn't know enough about it, so they didn't know how to assess it for merit. My goal over this next year is to better educate my colleagues on what I do in that area so they know how to assess it in future reviews. That might be your issue or it might not, but it wouldn't hurt to make a concerted effort to help your colleagues better understand what it is that you do. I believe that work is as much a public service as is working the reference desk, it's just more specialized. Maybe criticism is a reaction to feeling like they don't understand it. > > Best regards, > Christopher B.

Teaching and consultation are services that approximate public service, in that we are helping students, staff, and faculty find what they need. We are in the process of changing our promotion guidelines, and we have used the criteria name 'Librarianship and Teaching'. The librarianship criteria changes depending on whether we are in archives, cataloging, reference, etc. I realize that a sea change such as this is hard, but maybe the staff needs to read 'New Roles for the Road Ahead' http://acrl.ala.org/newroles/ Embedded librarians and informationists and popping up everywhere, so we all need to try to redefine our promotion (and tenure if you are lucky) criteria.

Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:27:22 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Data management and public services - solutions to colleague confusion Message-ID: Hi Daureen, I've held the data curation position at three different universities and been organized in public services twice and tech services once. It doesn't really matter where I'm placed, both sides tend to be confused about my responsibilities. Essentially, I do public service-type work, but work with/talk a lot about technology, so there is no consensus about what I am in libraryland. I have a two-prong approach: I educate my colleagues similarly to how I educate teaching faculty (workshops work well, and team up with another colleague). Example: I'm doing a 'brown bag' on data information literacy with a subject librarian who has in interest in government open data and teaches some DIL concepts in an international affairs class. It won't be perfect or comprehensive, but it will highlight the connection between my work and what a 'normal' librarian does. And when that doesn't generate trust, I've actually approached individuals and shared my position description (tactfully, of course, explaining that I am working to the job description, which is why my activities look different, but in fact, this is what I was hired to do). I also include justifications of why I do my activities in my reviews, which is something I didn't have to do as a 'normal' subject librarian. As more of us move into this field, this will likely decrease, but I do wish someone had warned me, as it does take quite a bit of time - and it's much easier to strategize a solution when you know it's a potential issue. I was a bit taken aback when I first started working in this field at the internal push-back, but then I realized it was rarely about me or the work that I do - it's much more likely to do with the history of how the position came about, or fear of new expectations, or part of a general identity crisis, etc. If this is the case, then there is little you can do to help that individual - you can only do your best to communicate with your reporting line and accomplish your goals. And as we can see from these e-mail responses, know that you are not alone!

I don't sit a desk anymore--my public service is instruction, consults, office hours, meetings, email etc. The subject of those may well be data, data management, or not. The activity is certainly there, it's mostly just the content that we're changing. And we're supposed to be teaching across content areas (choir, preaching, so on). Good luck!

The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS* OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year?s overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly interested in: *1. Supporting Open Scholarship, Open Science, and Cultural Heritage Online* Papers are invited to consider how repositories can best support the needs of open science, open scholarship, and cultural heritage to make research as accessible as possible, including: ? Open access, open data and open educational resources ? Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge ? Compliance with funder mandates ? Considerations for cultural heritage and digital humanities resources * 2. Managing Research (and Open) Data* Papers are invited to consider how repositories can support the needs of research data. Areas of interest are: ? Data registries ? Storage ? Curation lifecycle management ? Management and digital preservation tools *3. Integrating with External Systems* Papers are invited to explore, evaluate, or demonstrate integration with external systems, including: ? CRIS and research management systems ? Notification systems (e.g. SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE)) ? Remote identifier services (e.g. ORCID, DOI, etc.) ? Preservation services ? Archival systems (e.g. CALM or Archivists? Toolkit) *4. Re-using Repository Content* Papers are invited to showcase how repository content can be re-used in the context of: ? Discipline-based repositories and services ? Discovery services ? Integration of semantic technologies ? Repository networks *5. Exploring Metrics and Assessment* Papers are invited to present experiences on scholarly metrics and assessment services, particularly: ? Bibliometrics ? Downloads (e.g. COUNTER compliance) ? Analytics ? Altmetrics *6. Managing Rights* Papers are invited to examine the role of rights management in the context of open repositories, including: ? Research and scholarly communication outputs ? Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons) ? Embargoes ? Requirements of funder mandates *7. Developing and Training Staff* Papers are invited to consider the evolving role of staff who support and manage repositories across libraries, cultural heritage organizations, research offices and computer centres, especially: ? New roles and responsibilities ? Training needs and opportunities ? Career path and recruitment ? Community support *8. Building the Perfect Repository* Papers are invited to look ahead to OR16 and beyond to consider what the perfect repository looks like: ? Key features and services ? Who would be its users? ? How would it transform scholarly communication? ? What lessons have been learned since the first OR? ? Or, is it a pipe dream and there's no such thing? Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work outwith these themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which address them. *KEY DATES* 30 January 2015: Deadline for submissions and Scholarship Programme applications 27 March 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference 10 April 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups 8-11 June 2015: OR2015 conference *SUBMISSION PROCESS* *Conference Papers and Panels* Two to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services (see below for optional Proposal Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. In general, sessions will have three papers; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation, poster or 24/7. *Interest Group Presentations* The opportunity to engage with and learn more about the work of relevant communities of interest is a key element of Open Repositories. One to two page proposals are invited for presentations or panels that focus on the work of such communities, traditionally DSpace, EPrints and Fedora, describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. Further information about applications for additional Interest Groups and guidance on submissions will be forthcoming. *24x7 Presentations* One to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. *"Repository RANTS" 24x7 Block* One block of 24x7's will revolve around "repository rants": brief expos?s that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. *"Repository RAVES" 24x7 Block* One block of 24x7's at OR2015 will revolve around "repository raves": brief expos?s that celebrate particular practice and processes, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is right. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to celebrate successful approaches to repository services. *Posters* One-page proposal for posters that showcase current work are invited from researchers, repository managers, administrators, developers and practitioners. There will be the opportunity to make a 60-second pitch for your poster during ?minute madness? and a chance for attendees to view and to discuss your work during the poster reception. *2015 Developer Track* Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2015 will feature a Developer Track which will provide a focus for showcasing work, exchanging ideas and participating in "lightning rounds". Further details and guidance on submissions to the Developer Track will be forthcoming. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks as papers, posters, 24x7 presentations, repository raves and rants 24x7 blocks. *Workshops and Tutorials* One to two-page proposals for workshops and tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: ? The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey ? Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, half a day or a whole day) ? A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session ? How many attendees you plan to accommodate ? Technology and facility requirements ? Any other supplies or support required ? Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session *Proposal Templates* The OR2015 proposal templates are a guideline to help you prepare an effective submission. They are provided in both the Word document and plain-text Markdown formats and provide details around the requirements for conference papers and panels (DOC , TXT , RTF ) and 24/7's and posters (DOC , TXT , RTF ). *Submission system* The conference system will be open for submissions by 15 December 2014. PDF format is preferred. *CODE OF CONDUCT* We will be publishing guidelines for conduct for OR2015. *SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME* OR2015 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and banquet) for the conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant?s home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Full details will shortly be available on the conference website. *Program Co-Chairs* Holly Mercer, University of Tennessee William J Nixon, University of Glasgow Imma Subirats, FAO of the United Nations contact: or15-program-chairs at googlegroups.com *Local Hosts* Indiana University Bloomington Libraries University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Virginia Tech University Libraries contact: or2015 at indiana.edu *Conference Website and Social Media* website: http://or2015.net/ twitter:@OR2015Indy and #or2015 facebook: https://www.facebook.com/or2015 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did include your comments in my response letter. Lets see what happens. As promised here is the information for the training we did at the Univ of Utah. It consisted of a 4-hour workshop in the fall of 2013 and follow up sessions with groups of librarians. Any questions, clarifications just ask. Daureen Agenda for the 4-hr workshop 1. Opening talk about the basics, history, definitions 2. A very dynamic session where people in the audience got up and shared what services/resources they provided in support of research. A fellow librarian and I had gone through all the services/resources identifying what ones could benefit researchers. The AD talked to each person asking them to make a short presentation. I know I was impressed with what we already had in place. We provided a handout to all with the resources listed based on the research cycle. We also provided contact information. The list is below. 3. A talk was given on the research cycle. We had developed a few research scenarios and had the various groups each analyze 1-2 to determine where was the researcher in the research cycle, what assistance could he/she obtain from the library and the contact person. 4. Discussion of what was learned. 5. A few months later those of us on the education committee went to each of the library's CIT meetings and educated them on repositories, DMPTool and anything else to do with their subject areas. CIT = the library was reorganized by task instead of subject areas. We developed College and Interdisciplinary Teams to address outreach and collection development duties.

The truth is while this is going on the Library is reorganizing and I've already been told my position will be moving - they just cannot figure out where. My public services AD has me meeting with her twice a month and I'm going to bring up this issue and ask that I be part of the decision making. Including a subject librarian into the mix is a great idea. I can even think of one person in Fine Arts. I do not justify what I do in my review documents. We've been taught to think about assessment and include outcomes. I'm going to start a list of justifications for including in elevator speeches. Thanks again.

[rinehart.64 at osu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 1:27 PM To: Research Data, Access and Preservation Subject: Re: [Rdap] Data management and public services - solutions to colleague confusion Hi Daureen, I?ve held the data curation position at three different universities and been organized in public services twice and tech services once. It doesn?t really matter where I?m placed, both sides tend to be confused about my responsibilities. Essentially, I do public service-type work, but work with/talk a lot about technology, so there is no consensus about what I am in libraryland. I have a two-prong approach: I educate my colleagues similarly to how I educate teaching faculty (workshops work well, and team up with another colleague). Example: I?m doing a ?brown bag? on data information literacy with a subject librarian who has in interest in government open data and teaches some DIL concepts in an international affairs class. It won?t be perfect or comprehensive, but it will highlight the connection between my work and what a ?normal? librarian does. And when that doesn?t generate trust, I?ve actually approached individuals and shared my position description (tactfully, of course, explaining that I am working to the job description, which is why my activities look different, but in fact, this is what I was hired to do). I also include justifications of why I do my activities in my reviews, which is something I didn?t have to do as a ?normal? subject librarian. As more of us move into this field, this will likely decrease, but I do wish someone had warned me, as it does take quite a bit of time ? and it?s much easier to strategize a solution when you know it?s a potential issue. I was a bit taken aback when I first started working in this field at the internal push-back, but then I realized it was rarely about me or the work that I do ? it?s much more likely to do with the history of how the position came about, or fear of new expectations, or part of a general identity crisis, etc. If this is the case, then there is little you can do to help that individual ? you can only do your best to communicate with your reporting line and accomplish your goals. And as we can see from these e-mail responses, know that you are not alone! Best of luck, amanda ________________________________ From: Rdap [rdap-bounces at asis.org] on behalf of Daureen Nesdill [daureen.nesdill at utah.edu] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2014 2:30 PM To: Research Data, Access and Preservation Subject: [Rdap] Data management and public services Hi, I?m up for my 5-yr post tenure review and a colleague of mine is being critical of my work in data management.

I participated in the first year of this Institute, and I can't express strongly enough how amazing it was, not only in the training it provided but also in the peer network I built through it. I strongly encourage you to apply if you have any uncertainty about how to pursue your research agenda, including design and execution. >From the Call for Proposals: "We seek librarians with a passion for research and a desire to improve their research skills. IRDL is designed to bring together all that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process, with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library. The Advisory Board, comprised of librarians with research experience in a variety of settings, will use an open review process to select participants who will travel to Los Angeles, California, participate in all Institute activities, and conduct a research project during the 2015-2016 academic year. The online application requires a proposed research project that will be revised at the workshop and will be the basis for the study to be completed in the coming year." Librarians accepted into the program "will receive, at no cost to them, instruction in research design and a full year of peer/mentor support to complete a research project at their home institutions. The summer Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) workshop is supplemented with pre-Institute learning activities and a personal learning network that provides ongoing mentoring." The workshop will be held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, from July 13-23, 2015. More information is available at: http://irdlonline.org/call-for-proposals/.
