Hi everyone

A school here at Northwestern is considering using Harvard's Dataverse software to create a data repository.  Does anyone have experience using the Dataverse software? If so, we'd like to know about your experience. We are interesting in learning all we can about Dataverse software and have questions such as was using the software easy or difficult, what problems you encountered, the amount of time and staffing needed, any costs etc.

Feel free to contact me off list.

Thanks

My apologies for cross posting an rdap thread to iassist but I'm hopeful that we will get more information about supporting dataverse this way. 

In response to the question from rdap asking for advise on setting up a dataverse: I am sure that others will have more usefully direct information but I at least have a couple of points that I hope may at trigger some larger collaborations. 

First; I'm assuming the school is planning on running it from a hosted service. In that cast there's no direct control over the version so it will be useful to pay attention to whether or when the host has upgraded. The newest version reportedly has much greater security controls but I haven't played with it yet to know how easy (or not) it may be. We have a tiny pilot project that has been graciously hosted by the Odum Institute and they have not yet upgraded to the new version. 

The previous version is reportedly a behemoth to run so if they were considering installing it locally, they will need an extremely powerful system to support it. I assume that the newer version is similarly power-hungry. 

And on to my distracting question:

Does anyone know of a group of dataverse user-support people or do we need to start such a group? 

If it/they exist, where? 

Thank you kind data people!

I am hoping that this will be an annual meeting. One of the goals of that meeting was to develop sub community groups.

It doesn?t look like there a true ?support? group on this list, but I would like to see one. There is a Google Dataverse Users Community group. This might be the best place to start. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-community

Hi,

Elizabeth Quigley from the Dataverse Development Team here. I wanted to jump in to answer a few questions for you as well as direct you to a few links that could be helpful.

Harvard Dataverse<https://dataverse.harvard.edu/> is the installation of Dataverse we run at Harvard that is open to researchers from any institution or organization and is free to use. This option is updated whenever we have a new release of Dataverse so it is running the latest version, 4.0.1. If you are interested in hosting (or testing it out) the software at your own university, it can be downloaded off of Github<https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases> and those release notes link to the installation guide. If you want to play around with the latest version without downloading the software, you can do that at our <https://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu/> demo sit<https://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu/>e<https://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu/>.

Then, Paula, to answer your question about a group of user-support people, there is a Dataverse Community Group<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/dataverse-community> in Google Groups that is fairly active. You can also email our support team directly at support at dataverse.org<mailto:support at dataverse.org> if you have any questions.

Hope this is helpful and feel free to reach out to me with any questions as well.

Elizabeth

My apologies for cross posting an rdap thread to iassist but I'm hopeful that we will get more information about supporting dataverse this way.

In response to the question from rdap asking for advise on setting up a dataverse: I am sure that others will have more usefully direct information but I at least have a couple of points that I hope may at trigger some larger collaborations.

First; I'm assuming the school is planning on running it from a hosted service. In that cast there's no direct control over the version so it will be useful to pay attention to whether or when the host has upgraded. The newest version reportedly has much greater security controls but I haven't played with it yet to know how easy (or not) it may be. We have a tiny pilot project that has been graciously hosted by the Odum Institute and they have not yet upgraded to the new version.

The previous version is reportedly a behemoth to run so if they were considering installing it locally, they will need an extremely powerful system to support it. I assume that the newer version is similarly power-hungry.

And on to my distracting question:

Does anyone know of a group of dataverse user-support people or do we need to start such a group?

If it/they exist, where?

Thank you kind data people!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2 July, 2015

Read it online:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/or11/Call+for+Expressions+of+Interest+in+hosting+OR2017

Call for Expressions of Interest in hosting the annual Open Repositories
Conference, 2017

The Open Repositories Steering Committee seeks Expressions of Interest from
candidate host organizations for the 2017 Open Repositories Annual
Conference. Proposals from all geographic areas will be given consideration.

Important dates
The Open Repositories Steering Committee is accepting Expressions of
Interest (EoI) to host the OR2017 conference until August 31st, 2015.
Shortlisted sites will be notified by the end of September 2015.

Background
Candidate institutions must have the ability to host at least a four-day
conference of approximately 300-500 attendees (OR2015 held in Indianapolis,
USA drew more than 400 people). This includes appropriate access to
conference facilities, lodging, and transportation, as well as the ability
to manage a range of supporting services (food services, internet services,
and conference social events; conference web site; management of
registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and
their local arrangements committee must have the means to support the costs
of producing the conference through attendee registration and independent
fundraising. Fuller guidance is provided in the Open Repositories
Conference Handbook on the Open Repositories wiki.

Expressions of Interest Guidelines
Organisations interested in proposing to host the OR2017 conference should
follow the steps listed below:

1. Expressions of Interest (EoIs) must be received by August 31st, 2015.
Please direct these EoIs and any enquiries to OR Steering Committee Chair
William Nixon <william.nixon at glasgow.ac.uk>.

2.  As noted above, the Open Repositories wiki has a set of pages at Open
Repositories Conference Handbook (
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/or11/Open+Repositories+Conference+Handbook)
which offer guidelines for organising an Open Repositories conference.
Candidate institutions should pay particular attention to the pages listed
at "Preparing a bid" before submitting an EoI.

3.  The EoI must include:
* the name of the institution (or institutions in the case of a joint bid)
* an email address as a first point of contact
* the proposed location for the conference venue with a brief paragraph
describing the local amenities that would be available to delegates,
including its proximity to a reasonably well-served airport

4. The OR Steering Committee will review proposals and may seek advice from
additional reviewers.  Following the review, one or more institutions will
be invited to submit a detailed proposal.

5.  Invitations to submit a detailed proposal will be issued by the end of
September 2015; institutions whose interest will not be taken up will also
be notified at that time.  The invitations sent out will provide a timeline
for submitting a formal proposal and details of additional information
available to the shortlisted sites for help in the preparation of their
bid.  The OR Steering Committee will be happy to answer specific queries
whilst proposals are being prepared.

About Open Repositories
Since 2006 Open Repositories has hosted an annual conference that brings
together users and developers of open digital repository platforms. For
further information about Open Repositories and links to past conference
sites, please visit the OR home page: http://sites.tdl.org/openrepositories/
.

Subscribe to announcements about Open Repositories conferences by joining
the OR Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/open-repositories.

Please feel free to reflect this call for Expressions of Interest out
through your communities.
Thank you!

*PLEASE TAKE A SURVEY to Help Shape the ?Hydra in a Box? Repository
Solution*

   - Do you manage digital collections? Are you interested in the future of
   repository solutions?
   - The Digital Public Library of America, Stanford University, and
   DuraSpace want to hear from you.
   - Take the Hydra-in-a-Box Survey:
    https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bvCv54xcyfb5mo5
   <https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bvCv54xcyfb5mo5>

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Stanford University, and the
DuraSpace are partnering to extend the existing Hydra project codebase and
its vibrant and growing community to build, bundle, and promote a
feature-rich, robust, flexible digital repository that is easy to install,
configure, and maintain. This next-generation repository solution -- ?Hydra
in a Box? -- will work for institutions large and small, incorporating the
capabilities and affordances to support networked resources and services in
a shared, sustainable, nationwide platform. The overall intent is to
develop a digital collections platform that is not just ?on the web,? but
?of the web.?

With funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the
30-month collaborative project launched in May 2015
<http://dp.la/info/2015/04/15/far-reaching-hydra-in-a-box-joint-initiative-funded-by-imls/>
and
is currently in the Product Design phase.  We are using the survey
responses to better understand the current landscape of repository
solutions in use by libraries, archives, and museums, and what these
stakeholders need in an "ideal" repository solution.

Institutions of all sizes are invited to respond, including those who have
digital collections not currently managed in a repository as well as those
who manage multiple repositories.

*Thank you in advance for your participation!  *

*Welcome Graham Triggs: New Technical Lead for the VIVO Project*

*Winchester, MA*  The DuraSpace organization is pleased to announce that
Graham Triggs has accepted a position with DuraSpace as the Technical Lead
for the VIVO Project effective September 21, 2015. In his new role as VIVO
Technical Lead, Graham will work closely with Mike Conlon, the VIVO Project

clients from around the world. As Head of Repository Systems at Symplectic
<http://symplectic.co.uk/> since 2011, Triggs recently helped integrate
Symplectic?s research information management system, *Elements*, with VIVO,
allowing the structured research data captured within *Elements* to be
represented inside VIVO. He also led the integration of* Elements* with
institutional repositories in addition to developing web services for
DSpace, EPrints and Fedora open source repository platforms. In addition he
helped to implement and support individual client integrations by gathering
technical requirements and representing client product development needs.

?I?m thrilled to have Graham onboard as tech lead for the VIVO Project.
Graham brings a wealth of experience, insight and talent to his new role,?
said Mike Conlon, VIVO Project Director.

Triggs said, ?For the last 20 years, I have been developing systems for the
dissemination and discovery of research, mostly focused on open access,
open data and open source. Most recently, I have not only seen how
important it is for institutions to have a complete, consistent record of
scholarly work, but also the value of publishing linked open datasets of
key information. As an extension of these interests, I'm excited to be
joining DuraSpace, and working with the VIVO community to grow this
emerging field of semantic research networking software.?

DuraSpace and the VIVO Project teams extend a warm welcome to Graham in his
new role as the VIVO Technical Lead, and look forward to his contributions
to the broad, collaborative VIVO movement that will shape the future of
research.

Message-ID: <AD22241E54D78A4FB5516E8513D844530771E51C@SI-MSEDAG01.US.SINET.SI.EDU>

The Smithsonian Institution (SI) is looking for a person to join its
SIdora team and create a development operations (DevOps) environment.
SIdora is an ever-evolving, open-source infrastructure supporting
researchers, to make it easy for them to obtain and use IT resources
plus support their data needs --- while making their work become a
future part of the SI collections. This goal is a grand challenge and
requires a creative person with strong technical skills in systems
administration and application deployment who wants to constantly be
learning and working at the state-of-the-art. The software is already
used at SI and will soon be published under the Apache 2 license. SIdora
has an interactive, Drupal-based (Islandora) ?workbench.? It uses Apache
Camel for integration and deploys a micro-services architecture using
Apache ServiceMix with ActiveMQ that is designed to reach out to
integrate with nearly anything in a lab, data center or the cloud. It
uses the Fedora Repository, Solr and semantic triplestores plus it
includes a 6000+ core high performance computing cluster. Docker and a
full suite of DevOps tools are in its future. Strong communication
skills are also essential since SIdora?s DevOps will include working
with SI IT staff, researchers and to build collaborative open-source
communities.  This a permanent federal position located near Washington,
D.C.  If you are interested please apply on USAJOBS at
(https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/409874200).

NTIS tries to refocus on data -- FCW<http://fcw.com/articles/2015/07/15/ntis-refocus-on-data.aspx?m=1>
Posted: 17 Jul 2015 12:27 AM PDT
"Despite repeated efforts by Congress and others, the National Technical Information Service just won't go away. In a Senate hearing a year ago, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) told NTIS Director Bruce Borzino that 'our goal is to eliminate you as an agency.' Fast-forward to 2015: Coburn is retired, and NTIS is looking to refocus its outmoded mission of collecting and disseminating scientific, engineering and technical research to government agencies and the public. The new plan is for NTIS to become a hub of the government's Open Data policy, connecting public and private sector data initiatives, working with the private sector to imagine new products that could be based around government data, and support the delivery of data to end users. NTIS collects fees for its services. This model may have worked fine when the agency was established under the Truman administration as the Office of the Publication Board. However, the advent of online publishing has put a bit of a dent in the ability of NTIS to collect revenue. The Government Accountability Office estimates that '74 percent of the reports added to NTIS's collection from fiscal year 1990 through 2011 were available elsewhere, and 95 percent of these were available for free.' Currently the NTIS has about 145 full-time government employees, per its fiscal 2016 budget request. Lately, NTIS revenues have come from supplying other agencies with services rather than technical information. Those services include web hosting and cloud computing, online training support, distribution of printed materials published by other agencies, digitization and scanning of documents and microforms, and billing and collection services. The agency expects to obligate $122 million in 2016 ..."

Hello RDAP Members:

I know some of you, but certainly not all of you, are at institutions that have adopted an electronic laboratory notebook.  This year has been a transitional year for the Lab Archives ELN at the Noble Foundation.  At this point, less than 200 total employees will be using the ELN.  (Our total employee body hovers right below 400.)

To anyone who can assist, I am curious as to what the guidelines are at your institutions regarding when it is time to create a new notebook.  We currently have a committee in place that discusses data management matters and they would be interested to know what others are doing, as well.  Most of the users have their own notebooks that their respective principal investigator maintains ownership of.   Obviously, more can be included with the ELN versus a traditional paper notebook.  It seems that over time, even an ELN would get overloaded with information.  Since our use is still somewhat in its infancy, I'm curious as to what others are doing.

Thank you.

I have about 7 labs using (setting up to use) LabArchives. The purpose of this little experiment is to determine any issues that need to be addressed before a site license is considered - and your question has already come up. By late spring 2016, I expect to have at least a draft version of best practices based on the issues that have come up.

Don't forget notebooks created within LabArchives can be organized by projects, grants, people, instruments, etc.

One of my research groups was concerned about all the notebooks taking up too much server space. We have discussed that at the end of a research project (how this group is being organized), each notebook can be downloaded and archived elsewhere (we now have BOX). This includes all the deletions that are never deleted. We also discussed that some of the past research projects will need to be referred to  - research builds on research - and they would have to take that into account. I've mentioned to LabArchives that researchers should be able to totally delete deletions at the end of the project and maintain the notebook within the system. This will open up server space. Intuition tells me this would not be an easy fix.

Please, let us know what you end up doing

We are very interested in this as well.  Here we (the Libraries) are just now embarking on a partnership with our IT department who have decided to try out an institutional license and accompanying support model.  One issue goal that has come up is to compile recommendations on good practice for using the software and we were planning on reaching out to other universities.

All that is to say that we're not in a position at the moment to give any advice but will be keen on exchanging such information going forward.

I'm combining this lengthy response to both Daureen Nesdill and Katherine McNeill to reduce the number of outgoing emails.  I appreciate your feedback.

It's not so much the space that we're worried about over time, it's the crowding of information that can be placed into a single ELN.  When will it be enough?  Also, generating backup copies can become a nightmare over time if a notebook is large.

I was initially asked to assist in developing some best practices, but that faded into the background as everyone began doing their own thing...for now.  We were fortunate in that a few of our principal investigators showed a willingness in assisting others to get on board.

Since the ELN is not geared for the storage of large datasets (as you know you're limited with Lab Archives in terms of 250 MB for a single file), we still encourage the use of our network storage for many things.  We don't necessarily want them starting manuscripts there and we do not encourage that they create a repository of collected research articles for their work in the ELN.  It's still their notebook.  Instruments are mapped to internal network drives.

We initially began the process of reviewing notebooks in 2013.  The research staff on our Data Management Committee (composed mostly of principal investigators and Computing Services staff) was not too keen on the idea of going electronic initially, but you can't really blame them when paper was the standard for so long.  The major effort was researcher buy-in, because without it, the effort would be a dead one.  In our case, our senior leadership wanted the decision to be one that was either all in or all out.  That type of involvement may be more realistic since we are a smaller institution.  Slowly, the seven pilot groups came around and it was determined in late 2014 to move forward in 2015 with the adoption of the ELN.

In our case, we're trying to put an administrative spin on a product (Lab Archives) that doesn't really have an administrative module for account management.  I am the appointed person that assists someone in setting up their account using their employee email to ensure that the appropriate permissions are applied to the said notebook.  I make sure the principal investigator has ownership, an ELN Admin (aka me) has administrator access, and that the researcher has the appropriate level of access.  We know this is not foolproof with the product we are using, since users still have the ability to create their own notebooks.  I am interested in seeing if anyone else has a similar approach.

I typically name a notebook "Researcher Last Name Researcher First Name - Principal Investigator Last Name - Year Notebook Created."  (A larger university may need more identifying information.  We have a little more than 20 labs using the ELN.)  This is really more for the principal investigator and myself and in my opinion, it's better than naming a notebook by project when I have more than 160 of them to keep up with in my queue.  Also, it's a good naming convention for historical matters.  The folders within the ELN are typically organized chronologically by month with pages of entries in each or by project names.  In some cases, research assistants have folders with the name of a postdoctoral fellow they provide support to and only that postdoc has access to that folder in the research assistant's notebook.  When I assist someone in setting their ELN up, I also show them an actual researcher's notebook.  One particular principal investigator had given me permission in order to do this with her staff's notebooks.

When researchers leave employment, our exit procedures require that anyone with a notebook sets an appointment up with me, so I can review the account and determine what they do/do not have access to.   They can take a copy of the notebook with them and I will ensure I have appropriate access to generate a backup copy for our historical records that will reside on our internal servers (for the PI and legal matters).   At this point, the PI and I still have access to the departing employees' notebooks via our Lab Archives accounts...I'm not sure if this is a practice that will be feasible over time.

We're trying to encourage only one notebook per person if at all possible.  Ideally, they will go through me if a new one is needed.  At least one group is using one notebook, but it is a service group unrelated to research, so their usage may not the greatest example from a research lab's standpoint.  I also stress that I can assist in adding researchers to one another's notebooks for collaborative purposes upon approval from the PI or appointed lab manager/member.

Either way, I've heard more positive than negative about the ELN.

I'm very curious to learn more about the progress goes at your institutions.

I have about 7 labs using (setting up to use) LabArchives. The purpose of this little experiment is to determine any issues that need to be addressed before a site license is considered - and your question has already come up. By late spring 2016, I expect to have at least a draft version of best practices based on the issues that have come up.

Don't forget notebooks created within LabArchives can be organized by projects, grants, people, instruments, etc.

One of my research groups was concerned about all the notebooks taking up too much server space. We have discussed that at the end of a research project (how this group is being organized), each notebook can be downloaded and archived elsewhere (we now have BOX). This includes all the deletions that are never deleted. We also discussed that some of the past research projects will need to be referred to  - research builds on research - and they would have to take that into account. I've mentioned to LabArchives that researchers should be able to totally delete deletions at the end of the project and maintain the notebook within the system. This will open up server space. Intuition tells me this would not be an easy fix.

Please, let us know what you end up doing

Subject: [Rdap] Electronic Lab Notebooks

Hello RDAP Members:

I know some of you, but certainly not all of you, are at institutions that have adopted an electronic laboratory notebook.  This year has been a transitional year for the Lab Archives ELN at the Noble Foundation.  At this point, less than 200 total employees will be using the ELN.  (Our total employee body hovers right below 400.)

To anyone who can assist, I am curious as to what the guidelines are at your institutions regarding when it is time to create a new notebook.  We currently have a committee in place that discusses data management matters and they would be interested to know what others are doing, as well.  Most of the users have their own notebooks that their respective principal investigator maintains ownership of.   Obviously, more can be included with the ELN versus a traditional paper notebook.  It seems that over time, even an ELN would get overloaded with information.  Since our use is still somewhat in its infancy, I'm curious as to what others are doing.

Thank you.

I?m combining this lengthy response to both Daureen Nesdill and Katherine McNeill to reduce the number of outgoing emails.  I appreciate your feedback.

It?s not so much the space that we?re worried about over time, it?s the crowding of information that can be placed into a single ELN.  When will it be enough?  Also, generating backup copies can become a nightmare over time if a notebook is large.

Space is an issue my researchers bring up. I just tell them of the options. Some of them already have TB of data on servers they have to access.

I do not understand "when will it be enough?" Because my researchers are in different disciplines I'm seeing first hand how differently each works. GLP are totally different. What needs to be retained is different. LabArchives, like any other ELN is based on corporate, FDA, US Patent scenarios, in other word everything must be maintained, provenance/audit trails are mandatory, etc. This is not necessarily bad since it will address the ethics issues.

If you are talking about backups of notebooks archived outside of LabArchives, I hear you. Researchers may have to develop policies on when and what to delete - records management.  The data will be in a repository with the pertinent information so it is not necessary to keep notebooks forever.

I was initially asked to assist in developing some best practices, but that faded into the background as everyone began doing their own thing...for now.  We were fortunate in that a few of our principal investigators showed a willingness in assisting others to get on board.

I'm using somewhat the same method. The pioneering researchers using labarchives can demonstrate to their collaborators and colleagues within their departments. We are also introducing the lab class version at the same time. My campus has a large medical research component so REDCap has already been adopted (security). We also have mLIMS and JAX foe mouse colony management and Quartzy for inventory of lab suppplies, etc.

Since the ELN is not geared for the storage of large datasets (as you know you?re limited with Lab Archives in terms of 250 MB for a single file), we still encourage the use of our network storage for many things.  We don?t necessarily want them starting manuscripts there and we do not encourage that they create a repository of collected research articles for their work in the ELN.  It?s still their notebook.  Instruments are mapped to internal network drives.

During our initial discussions I let them know that Endnote, Zotoro, etc are useful - one of the researchers is going to try linking her Endnote into labarchives. We talk about decisions to make before setting up a notebook.

We initially began the process of reviewing notebooks in 2013.  The research staff on our Data Management Committee (composed mostly of principal investigators and Computing Services staff) was not too keen on the idea of going electronic initially, but you can?t really blame them when paper was the standard for so long.  The major effort was researcher buy-in, because without it, the effort would be a dead one.  In our case, our senior leadership wanted the decision to be one that was either all in or all out.  That type of involvement may be more realistic since we are a smaller institution.  Slowly, the seven pilot groups came around and it was determined in late 2014 to move forward in 2015 with the adoption of the ELN.

I started in 2009-10 with some support from the VP for Research Office. I had to pull back a bit when the market changed. In May I received a small grant from my Library to start this pilot project. I'm talking with university IT and Center for High Performance Computing about steps for a site license since it is not clear which will administer the software. VPR is still supportive and pushing this pilot. I can see LabArchives being a site license in the future, but not the only ELN out there. The chemists are already saying since it does not support ChemDraw, they will not use it. If the campus is provided free access to use LabArchives I'm not expecting hordes of researchers signing up. The cost has been an impediment, but the work of implementing the ELN is a much larger impediment. Next summer I'm planning on knocking on the doors of new faculty and get them when they are just setting up research projects.

In our case, we?re trying to put an administrative spin on a product (Lab Archives) that doesn?t really have an administrative module for account management.  I am the appointed person that assists someone in setting up their account using their employee email to ensure that the appropriate permissions are applied to the said notebook.  I make sure the principal investigator has ownership, an ELN Admin (aka me) has administrator access, and that the researcher has the appropriate level of access.  We know this is not foolproof with the product we are using, since users still have the ability to create their own notebooks.  I am interested in seeing if anyone else has a similar approach.

Interesting that you are the administrator. Each of my research groups have a PI and/or an administrator of their own. Why are you the administrator and what are your duties? I do not see my position evolving into administrating for all the thousands of notebooks and accounts we can potentially have on this campus

I typically name a notebook ?Researcher Last Name Researcher First Name ? Principal Investigator Last Name ? Year Notebook Created.?  (A larger university may need more identifying information.  We have a little more than 20 labs using the ELN.)  This is really more for the principal investigator and myself and in my opinion, it?s better than naming a notebook by project when I have more than 160 of them to keep up with in my queue.

When I assist someone in setting their ELN up, I also show them an actual researcher?s notebook.  One particular principal investigator had given me permission in order to do this with her staff?s notebooks.

We name the account for the PI, then it is up to the research group to decide how the notebooks will be set up. I have notebooks set up by person, instrument (a core, not really research), project and grant. Under that folders are created and they will be learning "metadata" and using tags to describe entries. For the researchers organizing notebooks by project also wanted them organized by grant. Projects can involve multiple grants and grants can fund multiple projects. Tagging is being used to follow the grants.

When researchers leave employment, our exit procedures require that anyone with a notebook sets an appointment up with me, so I can review the account and determine what they do/do not have access to.   They can take a copy of the notebook with them and I will ensure I have appropriate access to generate a backup copy for our historical records that will reside on our internal servers (for the PI and legal matters).   At this point, the PI and I still have access to the departing employees? notebooks via our Lab Archives accounts?I?m not sure if this is a practice that will be feasible over time.

We talk about when people leave, but not in any detail yet. I would suggest you have a conversation with your records management folks and have them assist you in developing policies on when you can delete records. I'm on a state university campus and have state and federal record keeping rules. I'm not sure of the regulations you have to follow at a foundation.

We?re trying to encourage only one notebook per person if at all possible.  Ideally, they will go through me if a new one is needed.  At least one group is using one notebook, but it is a service group unrelated to research, so their usage may not the greatest example from a research lab?s standpoint.  I also stress that I can assist in adding researchers to one another?s notebooks for collaborative purposes upon approval from the PI or appointed lab manager/member.

Either way, I?ve heard more positive than negative about the ELN.

I've just started obtaining feedback from researchers. A few issues came up  -  not intuitive, Chrome not supporting JAVA, not having a laptop, work interfering with implementation.

I?m very curious to learn more about the progress goes at your institutions.

My Library did provide me with a small grant, but that is the end of the support. I'm one of those data librarians being crushed between traditional librarian duties and my not-so-new duties. I'm still attempting to work out how much time I can devote to this.
