Members will benefit from an array of webinars, virtual conferences, and training programs, all tailored toward users who seek better ways of creating and using information systems and services. Professionals in libraries and related technology companies are the target audience for our events, and the material on offer is developed and presented by leaders in those fields. The webinar topics for 2018 will address: --Annotation - Practices and Tools in a Digital Environment --The Evolving Natures of Reference Work and Reference Product --Library as Publisher (Two-Part Webinar) --Can There Be Neutrality in Cataloging? A Conversation Starter --Trends in Technology: Smart Services in the Academic Library --Innovative Tools and Apps: What's Hot --Discovery: Where Researchers Start --Using Analytics to Extract Value from the Library's Data (Two-Part Webinar) --Library Funding, Advocacy, and Strategic Approaches to Funding Scholarly Initiatives (Two-Part Webinar) --Building Diversity in the Workforce --Maker Spaces: Things that Go Bop, Whizz, and Clank! Next year will also see NISO presenting several of its popular, five-hour virtual conferences, some of which are followed by a relevant Training Thursday event. In 2018, these in-depth conferences will cover: --The Preprint: Integrating the Form into the Scholarly Ecosystem (includes a Training Thursday session) --Information Freedom, Ethics, and Longevity (includes a Training Thursday session) --Open Data Projects --The Computer Campus: Integrating Information Systems and Services (includes a Training Thursday session) --Technology's Impact on Scholarly Research Processes in the Library --The Library of the Future: Inside & Out "It has always been NISO's goal to facilitate efficient information creation and exchange," says Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO. "In 2017 we achieved that by offering hands-on training as well as webinars and virtual conferences that introduced our members to new practices, products, and services. In 2018, we will build upon that success by offering programs that encourage users to think about topics such as information neutrality and freedom as well as how to apply their knowledge in libraries, publishing companies, and elsewhere in the future." For those interested in maximizing their training dollars, subscription options are available. For webinars, NISO members may sign up for the Buy 9, Get 5 Free package, and ensure access to all 14 of the NISO webinars. Alternatively, members may opt for the Buy 5, Get 4 Free package, and choose nine webinars from the 2018 line up. Organizations pay a single fee to enable viewing access for multiple team members in a collaborative group setting. (Note that webinar registration is priced per site, through use of a single computer.) Webinar registrants hold access to the recorded version for a full year, allowing even greater opportunity for staff to benefit from that single registration. Similarly, those wishing to pay for the full set of virtual conferences being offered in 2018 may do by subscribing to the Buy 3, Get 3 Free package. A full roster of events is available at the NISO website . *About NISO* NISO, based in Baltimore, Maryland, 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.

[New in 2018] [Identifying Predatory Journals] Identifying Predatory Journals A predatory journal can be defined as one that takes advantage of the "author-pays" open access model by accepting publishing fees but offering much lower levels of service than those expected from legitimate journals in regards to peer review or production. When an author publishes in a predatory journal, the opportunity to improve the article through a high-quality peer review process may be compromised. It also means the article will not be easy to find since predatory journals are not available in databases such as Web of Science and there is no guarantee that your article will remain online and accessible in the future. Possibly predatory journals or publishers can be identified in the following ways: * Unprofessional website with spelling and grammatical errors * Submission invitation emails with grammatical errors, overly flattering language, and an urgent request for a reply * An "Impact Factor," but no listing in the Web of Science Journal Citation Report * Prominent announcement that the publication is indexed in Google Scholar but not in high quality databases such as Web of Science or Scopus * Journal title is very similar to a well-established journal * Unusual journal scope that is either very broad or combines unrelated fields * Promise of very fast publication * Lower fees than other journals in the field To avoid predatory journals, always start with a reputable publisher such as IEEE and read the journal information carefully before submitting. Deposit Your Data to IEEE DataPort IEEE DataPort is a new IEEE data repository in beta version, available to the global technical community.

The Library is seeking to fill the following positions with talented and forward-looking librarians focused on engagement with digital scholarship: * Director, Center for Digital Scholarship (Req. # 03568) * Biomedical Data Librarian (Req. # 03569) * Social Sciences Data Librarian (Req. # 03570) These positions will join others from recent and upcoming searches, including the Scholarly Communication Librarian, GIS/Maps Librarian, and CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for Energy Research. The resulting suite of skills will be further extended by future searches for a metadata librarian and a digital collections librarian. These new positions will work with existing subject and functional experts in the library and with partners across campus to build a research and teaching focused center that provides space, technology, and services that meet the needs and priorities of the University community. Successful candidates will become part of a collaborative environment with a renewed focus on outreach and engagement with faculty, students, and other constituents to create communities of interest in digital scholarship, data curation, research innovation, and teaching and learning.

[New in 2018] [Identifying Predatory Journals] Identifying Predatory Journals A predatory journal can be defined as one that takes advantage of the "author-pays" open access model by accepting publishing fees but offering much lower levels of service than those expected from legitimate journals in regards to peer review or production. When an author publishes in a predatory journal, the opportunity to improve the article through a high-quality peer review process may be compromised. It also means the article will not be easy to find since predatory journals are not available in databases such as Web of Science and there is no guarantee that your article will remain online and accessible in the future. Possibly predatory journals or publishers can be identified in the following ways: * Unprofessional website with spelling and grammatical errors * Submission invitation emails with grammatical errors, overly flattering language, and an urgent request for a reply * An "Impact Factor," but no listing in the Web of Science Journal Citation Report * Prominent announcement that the publication is indexed in Google Scholar but not in high quality databases such as Web of Science or Scopus * Journal title is very similar to a well-established journal * Unusual journal scope that is either very broad or combines unrelated fields * Promise of very fast publication * Lower fees than other journals in the field To avoid predatory journals, always start with a reputable publisher such as IEEE and read the journal information carefully before submitting. Deposit Your Data to IEEE DataPort IEEE DataPort is a new IEEE data repository in beta version, available to the global technical community. Authors who have data storage needs or require access to scientific datasets may deposit their datasets to IEEE DataPort. Examples of recent datasets loaded to IEEE DataPort include: * Study on Three-Phase Photovoltaic Systems Under Grid Faults (DOI 10.21227/H25633) * Decoding Local Field Potentials for Neural Interfaces (DOI 10.21227/H2VW5Z) * A SAR Ship Dataset for Detection, Discrimination and Analysis (DOI: 10.21227/H2RK82) Datasets up to 2TB are accepted and each dataset receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) upon upload. Standard datasets can always be uploaded free of charge. To make your dataset available to all IEEE DataPort users at no cost, use coupon code OPENACCESS1 through the end of 2017.

But only kind of. ICPSR puts massive amounts of work into the curation of the data they charge for.

As a discipline-focused professional organization, they should be seeking to advance research in this area and the sharing of data, not locking it behind a paywall. I certainly won't be recommending it locally. ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Mike Smit Associate Professor School of Information Management A/Associate Dean Research Faculty of Management Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS Mike.Smit at dal.ca // 902-494-1901 ---------------------------------------------------- On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 2:26 PM, Sebastian Karcher wrote: > Seems they are taking a lead from ICPSR where access is also by membership > and it can cost to deposit data. > > > > But only kind of.

Do you want to work in a dynamic, creative, highly supportive and collegial environment, cradled in our just-opened Wilmeth Active Learning Center integrated classroom/library building? We are looking for an energetic, entrepreneurial tenure-track engineering librarian to help us take advantage of many opportunities for embedded information and data literacy instruction. This position will work with a team of librarians to serve the fast growing College of Engineering, which is adding over 100 new faculty and 1500 additional students per year under the university's strategic plan. Now is a particularly interesting time, as Purdue has been developing, with Libraries participation, a university-wide data education initiative, and the College of Engineering recently announced their Data Mind initiative (https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/News/data-mind) for all incoming engineering undergraduates, for which the Libraries plan to offer "Foundations" courses on Data organization and management. We have a newly minted course designation allowing us to offer Libraries-branded courses for the first time and develop an integrated curriculum on topics such as data and archival sciences, data visualization, systematic reviews and other specialized research methods. This is in addition to our robust embedded information literacy program that includes integration with the first-year Introduction to Design courses in both the College of Engineering and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, as well as many of their senior design courses, and other courses in between. If you're looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow and explore the boundaries of what it means to be a librarian, this might be the position for you. We are considering both early-career and experienced applicants, and Purdue offers a generous start-up package including a graduate assistant, ample benefits, a very low cost of living, and is home to engineering programs consistently ranked in the top ten in the country. Purdue University Libraries is committed to advancing diversity in all areas of faculty effort, including scholarship, instruction, and engagement to promote a climate that values diversity and inclusion.

Call for papers and scholarships have been extended until the 15th January 2018. The theme for Open Repositories 2018 is Sustaining Open. http://www.or2018.net/call-for-papers/ Research and Cultural Heritage communities have embraced the idea of Open; open communities, open source software, open data, scholarly communications, and open access publications and collections. These projects and communities require different modes of thinking and resourcing than purchasing vended products. While open may be the way forward, mitigating fatigue, finding sustainable funding, and building flexible digital repository platforms is something most of us are striving for. Submissions this year should focus on the how, why, and what it will take to make open sustainable. While not limited to the below topics, we?re focusing our attention on issues around the sustainability of: ? Open source software - sustainability of software developed locally and large open source systems, legacy code ? Community - reaching out to new audiences, developing a community, governance ? Content - research data, digital preservation, persistent urls, archiving ? Teams/People - staff and knowledge within the community, contingency planning, training and development, and succession planning ? Projects - sustainability of projects beyond the grant, maturing communities ? Infrastructure/Integrations - integrations between systems, changing technical environments ? Policy - national, international, local and community policy and decisions ? Challenges of sustainability - funding, local, technical, community ? Rights and Copyright - including Data Protection, sharing and storing of content ? Reuse, standards, and reproducibility - for example: software, data, content types ? New open technologies and standards Submission Process Accepted proposals in all categories will be made available through the conference?s web site https://www.conftool.net/or2018, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. Some conference sessions may be live streamed or recorded, then made publicly available. Interest Groups This year there are no separate interest groups for the different repository systems, instead if your 24x7 or presentation submission is related to a specific repository system please indicate so in your proposal. Presentations Presentation proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. Presentations are 30 minutes long including questions. Panels Panel proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. All panels are expected to include at least some degree of diversity in viewpoints and personal background of the panelists. Panel sessions are expected to include a short presentation from each panel member followed by a discussion. Panels may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. Panels can be 45 or 90 minutes long. Discussion Question and Answer Discussion Q&A proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). This is your opportunity to suggest members of the community to join in a Q&A discussion on various proposed topics. This is meant to be a deep-dive into why a decision was made, how projects got started, where an idea came from, or anything else that you want to know more about. Imagine this as a 45 - 90 minute grilling at a cocktail party but on a stage in front of your peers. Q&As may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. This session will not be video recorded. Discussion Q&A can be 45 or 90 minutes long. 24?7 Presentations 24?7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful 24x7 presentations have a clear focus on one or a few ideas and a narrower focus than a 25 minute presentation. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24?7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated question and answer session involving the audience and all block presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions. Proposals for 24?7 presentations should be one to two pages (see below for submission templates). 24x7 presentations are 7 minutes long. Posters We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work (see below for submission templates). OR2018 will feature physical posters only. Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Instructions for preparing the posters will be distributed to authors of accepted poster proposals prior to the conference. Poster submitters will be expected to give a one-minute teaser to encourage visitors to their poster during the conference. Posters presentations will be 1 minute. Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Imaginative Innovation Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2018 will feature a Developer Track that will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas. Building on the success of previous Developer Tracks, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices that are important to you (see below for submission templates). The 15 minute presentations can be as informal as you like, but we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features, and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Proposals should be one to two pages, including a title, a brief outline of what will be shared with the community, and technologies covered. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks. Developer Track presentations are 15 minutes including questions. Ideas Challenge OR2018 will also again include the popular Ideas Challenge. Taking part in this competition provides an opportunity to take an active role in repository innovation, in collaboration with your peers and in pursuit of prizes. The Ideas Challenge is open to all conference attendees. Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming closer to the conference. Workshops and tutorials The first day of Open Repositories will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials. One to two-page proposals addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. See below for Proposal Templates; please address the following in your proposal: ? The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey ? Length of session (90 minutes, 3 hours or a whole day) ? A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session ? The target audience for your session and 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 Please note, the program committee may consider submissions for other tracks and formats, as appropriate. Submission System https://www.conftool.net/or2018 Review Process All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the call for proposals, including quality of content, significance, originality, and thematic fit. Code of Conduct The OR2018 Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy are available at http://or2018.net/code-of-conduct/. Scholarship Programme OR2018 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 conference dinner) for the conference in Bozeman. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a proposal 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 and an application form will shortly be available on the conference website.
