Are you eager to share your knowledge with others and help expand the community of data librarians? The National Network of Libraries of Medicine Training Office has several opportunities for you to contribute to shaping a new training experience specifically for librarians. Biomedical and Health Research Data Management Training for Librarians is an 8-week online class with engaging lessons and practical activities, starting in January 2018. Students will complete a capstone project at the end of the course and the experience will culminate in a Capstone Summit at NIH on April 10-11, 2018. A short description of the whole program can be downloaded here. We are looking for experienced data librarians to participate in this project as module reviewers, co-teachers, and/or mentors. You may (and are encouraged to) apply for more than one role, and for more than one module.

"Pursuing Best Performance in Research Data Management by Using the Capability Maturity Model and Rubrics." Journal of eScience Librarianship 6(2): e1113. https://doi.org/10.7191/jeslib.2017.1113 Abstract Objective: To support the assessment and improvement of research data management (RDM) practices to increase its reliability, this paper describes the development of a capability maturity model (CMM) for RDM. Improved RDM is now a critical need, but low awareness of ? or lack of ? data management is still common among research projects. Methods: A CMM includes four key elements: key practices, key process areas, maturity levels, and generic processes. These elements were determined for RDM by a review and synthesis of the published literature on and best practices for RDM. Results: The RDM CMM includes five chapters describing five key process areas for research data management: 1) data management in general; 2) data acquisition, processing, and quality assurance; 3) data description and representation; 4) data dissemination; and 5) repository services and preservation. In each chapter, key data management practices are organized into four groups according to the CMM?s generic processes: commitment to perform, ability to perform, tasks performed, and process assessment (combining the original measurement and verification). For each area of practice, the document provides a rubric to help projects or organizations assess their level of maturity in RDM. Conclusions: By helping organizations identify areas of strength and weakness, the RDM CMM provides guidance on where effort is needed to improve the practice of RDM.

Special Issue of Cultural Analytics* Guest editors ? Amelia Acker & Tanya Clement, University of Texas at Austin *?Mathematically, visually, and narratively, it matters which figures figure figures, which systems systematize systems? Donna Haraway Environmental Humanities 6 (2015), p. 160.* Data have become pervasive in research in the humanities and the social sciences. New areas, objects, and situations for study have developed; and new methods for working with data are shepherded by new epistemologies and (potential) paradigms shifts. But data didn?t just happen to us. We have happened to data. Karen Barad writes that ?We are responsible for the world in which we live not because it is an arbitrary construction of our choosing, but because it is sedimented out of particular practices that we have a role in shaping? (102). Yet where is our agency in that responsibility? What is the role we play in the data cultures/culture as data we form around sociomaterial practices? How can we better understand how these practices effect, and affect, the materialization of subjects, objects, and the relations between them? How can we engage our data culture in practical, critical, and generative ways? In every field, boundaries have been drawn between data and human as if making meaning with data is innocent work, but these boundaries are never innocent. Questions are emerging about data cultures and culture as data?urgent questions that range across concerns with the datafication of culture including the codification (or code-ification) of social and cultural bias; the integrity of data and of human agency, subjectivity, and identity. This special issue of Cultural Analytics invites responses to these concerns. We invite submissions related (but not limited) to: *Proximity and distance between the creation of data and its collection *The nature of data as object or content *Modes of data circulation; dissemination and preservation *Data audiences *Histories and imaginary data futures *Data expertises and folkways *The environmental impact of data work *Data and technological progressivism *Data Accessibility and ethics *Data ontologies *The cultivation, taming, cleaning, and standardization of data *The ethical and social implications of data mining *The cultures, communities, and consciousness of data production *Data literacies Cultural Analytics is looking for Research or theory articles (7,000 to 8,000 words) Data reviews or Case studies of datasets (2,000 to 3,000 words, including visualizations or demonstrations) Opinion pieces (4,000 to 5,000 words) Timetable for Submissions Deadline for abstracts (250-500) -- early November 15, 2017 Deadline for paper submissions ?

We are seeking novice librarian researchers who are employed by academic libraries or research libraries outside an academic setting in the United States to participate in the Institute. We define "novice" broadly; if you feel that you would benefit from being guided throughout the entire research design process, we encourage your application. Librarians of all levels of professional experience are welcome to apply. The year-long experience begins with a workshop held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, from June 3-9, 2018, with arrival on campus on Saturday, June 2, and departure on Sunday, June 10. The William H. Hannon Library has received a second three-year grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to offer this continuing education opportunity (this grant, IRDL-2, is from 2016-2019). Each year 20 librarians 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 learning experience, travel to and from Los Angeles, CA, accommodations, and food will be supplied to Scholars free of charge. 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. Selection criteria: * Commitment to the year-long process of participating in the IRDL research community and conducting the proposed study within the 2017-2018 academic year; * Significance of the research problem to the operational success of libraries or to the profession of librarianship; * Thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and clarity of the research proposal; * Enthusiasm for research and a desire to learn. We will be accepting applications from December 1, 2017 to January 27, 2018. Scholars accepted to the Institute will be notified in early March 2018. Application information may be found at http://irdlonline.org/call-for-proposals/institute-overview/.
