Funders expect and even require these behaviors. Publishers are increasingly providing support for data citation, data references, and data sharing. Is all the work done? Data curators, librarians, and other information professionals continue to face many questions from researchers: When do I get a DOI? Why should I share my research data? Will you do this for me? Join Joan Starr, EZID Service Manager, Matt Mayernik, Research Data Services Specialist with NCAR, and Mary Linn Bergstrom, Data Services Librarian at UC San Diego, for conversations about these and other issues. We hope you come ready to get involved in the discussion. Who should attend: Data curators, librarians, and other information professionals working with researchers. Meeting Details: Title: Conversations about Data Citation Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2014 Time: 10:00 AM PDT Duration: 1 hour Host: Joan Starr, EZID Service Manager Note: The session will be recorded for those who cannot attend and will be available on EZID's Outreach page (ezid.cdlib.org/home/outreach) .

We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system. The title of the survey is "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey." For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, "description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]". Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc. Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the "intellectual output of an institution [2]". The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences. If your institution meets these parameters, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for or obtain any personally identifying information. You can access the survey here: https://uiuc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3aw56frpWbGLlgV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (information provided below). We look forward to seeing your responses and sharing the results of our research. Thank you.

The Fedora 4.0 feature set is available for testing with this release, including a human-readable file system export, clustering for high-availability use cases, and support for millions of objects. This release is part of a broad initiative to make significant changes to the robust Fedora framework for building digital repositories to serve the community for the next decade. Full release notes are available , and highlights include: - Transparent JCR/XML file system export - Clustering support for high-availability use cases - Demonstrated performance: 10 million objects via REST-API, 16 million via federation - Reviewed and published Fedora 4 RDF ontology Download Fedora 4.3 Beta here . Get in Here We are making progress towards completing acceptance tests, but we still need to test the remaining features before we can release the production version of Fedora 4.0. Please take some time to install the Fedora 4.0 Beta (or just use the one-click-run application), test out some features, and submit your results . Three Beta Pilot projects are underway. These projects will test a number of Fedora 4.0 features in a production-like environment over the course of a few months. Each of these projects will be showcased in a short webinar series this Fall - details will be available soon. Beta Pilot Projects represent a larger commitment of time and resources than acceptance tests, but they also present an opportunity to test real institutional use cases with Fedora 4.0, with added support from DuraSpace and the Fedora community. If your institution is interested in participating, please contact David Wilcox . How Does DuraSpace Help? DuraSpace works collaboratively with organizations that use Fedora to advance the design, development and sustainability of the project.

Features of note include enhanced object and datastream versioning, improved support for linked data, a XACML authorization implementation, REST-API improvements, transparent file system export, and many other improvements. In addition to these features, a great deal of effort has been put into improving the test coverage and overall performance of Fedora 4. We encourage the community to download and install Fedora 4 (a one-click installer is available) and test out the new features. Fedora 4.0 is only the first release in the 4.x line - a number of features , including support for Fedora 3 to Fedora 4 migrations , are planned for subsequent 4.x releases. While releasing Fedora 4.0 into production is our top development priority, we must also start scheduling the 2015 January to June block of code sprints to work on the next 4.x release. Please consider contributing developer time to these sprints by contacting Andrew Woods (awoods at duraspace.org), the Fedora Technical Lead. *Fundraising* We are in the midst of our annual membership campaign, which runs from early May until the end of October. The annual membership goal for 2014 is $500,000, and as of this report we have raised $478,000. The Fedora project has a total of 51 members; this includes 13 new members and 38 renewals from last year's members. The Fedora Product Manager will continue to coordinate with members of the Fedora Steering Group to expand the pool of DuraSpace members supporting the Fedora project to reach the annual funding target for 2014. *Community Engagement and Outreach* In the past quarter, developers have continued to hold daily meetings in conjunction with development sprints, as well as weekly Fedora committer calls attended by the broader community. In June, the Fedora community came together for Open Repositories in Helsinki, Finland. Fedora featured prominently at the conference, with workshops, presentations, user group sessions, and the official announcement of Fedora 4.0 Beta. *Fedora 4 Training* As we approach the production release of Fedora 4.0, we expect members of the Fedora community to work toward deploying Fedora 4 locally. Consequently, many community members have raised the issue of training as a priority. In response to this demand, three Fedora 4 training workshops have been scheduled alongside events in October: - DC Fedora User Group Meeting (Oct. 6-7) - Islandora Camp Colorado (Oct. 16) - eResearch Australasia (Oct. 31) In preparation for these events, the Fedora Product Manager and Technical Lead have been building reusable training modules for a one-day curriculum. These training modules will serve as a basis for expanding to longer, more in-depth training workshops in 2015. *Upcoming Conferences* In September, Fedora will be featured in presentations at The Future of Information Infrastructure and PASIG in Karlsruhe, Germany, immediately followed by a Fedora User Group meeting . Members of the Fedora Leadership Group, along with the Fedora Product Manager, will also be present at the 4th RDA Plenary in Amsterdam to discuss the project with the research data community. -- 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...

Our system administrator found that you can upload a dummy file to Dataverse (e.g. near zero bytes), turn off Dataverse, and then move the large file (e.g. >2GB) into the same location and name as the dummy file within the database at the back-end of Dataverse. After modifying the checksum for the file in the database (back-end again) and turning Dataverse back on, Dataverse will then recognize the larger file and make it available for download. It requires a little comfortability with the inner workings of databases, but I hope that helps you and others looking for ways to make large files accessible through DVN!

Here's an IMLS study that proposes to assess DMPs. Data Management Plans as a Research Tool: The DART Project (IMLS National Leadership Grant LG-07-13-0328, $155,464) Data management plans (DMP) provide a window into the detailed individual data management habits, capabilities and needs of faculty and their graduate students. Structured analysis of DMPs can provide insight into the kinds of data researchers are generating, and how they are managing those data in current and future projects. From the library's perspective, this information is fundamental to providing research data support services that are tailored to the needs of the faculty and students we aim to support. This two-year NLG-Libraries Demonstration Project, led by Oregon State University in collaboration with the University of Oregon, Purdue University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University, will facilitate a multi-university study of faculty data management plans (DMPs). The primary outcome of the project will be the development of an analytic rubric to standardize the review of data management plans, providing a means to inform targeted expansion or development of research data services at academic libraries. -- Sherry Lake On Sep 26, 2014, at 8:18 PM, "Daureen Nesdill" > wrote: Hi, I know I?ve come across a few articles reviewing faculty DMPs, but cannot seem to find them now when being asked for them.

Academic libraries have begun to articulate the conceptual foundations, roles, and responsibilities involved in data management planning and implementation. This paper provides an overview of the Engineering data support pilot at the University of Michigan Library as part of developing new data services and infrastructure. Through this pilot project, a team of librarians had an opportunity to identify areas where the library can play a role in assisting researchers with data management, and has put forth proposals for immediate steps that the library can take in this regard. The paper summarizes key findings from a faculty survey and discusses lessons learned from an analysis of data management plans from accepted NSF proposals. A key feature of this Engineering pilot project was to ensure that these study results will provide a foundation for librarians to educate and assist researchers with managing their data throughout the research lifecycle. -Jake ----------------------------------------------------- Jake Carlson Research Data Services Manager Stephen S.

Resources to Support Faculty Writing Data Management Plans: Lessons Learned from an Engineering Pilot *Natsuko H. Nicholls, Sara M. Samuel, Leena N. Lalwani, Paul F. Grochowski, Jennifer A. Green* 2014, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 242-252 doi:10.2218/ijdc.v9i1.315 Abstract Recent years have seen a growing emphasis on the need for improved management of research data. Academic libraries have begun to articulate the conceptual foundations, roles, and responsibilities involved in data management planning and implementation. This paper provides an overview of the Engineering data support pilot at the University of Michigan Library as part of developing new data services and infrastructure. Through this pilot project, a team of librarians had an opportunity to identify areas where the library can play a role in assisting researchers with data management, and has put forth proposals for immediate steps that the library can take in this regard. The paper summarizes key findings from a faculty survey and discusses lessons learned from an analysis of data management plans from accepted NSF proposals. A key feature of this Engineering pilot project was to ensure that these study results will provide a foundation for librarians to educate and assist researchers with managing their data throughout the research lifecycle. -Jake ----------------------------------------------------- Jake Carlson Research Data Services Manager Stephen S.

We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system. The title of the survey is "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey." For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, "description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]". Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc. Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the "intellectual output of an institution [2]". The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences. If your institution meets these parameters, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for or obtain any personally identifying information. You can access the survey here: https://uiuc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3aw56frpWbGLlgV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (information provided below). We look forward to seeing your responses and sharing the results of our research. Thank you.
