The Georgia Tech Library in Atlanta, GA is hosting the inaugural *Southeast Data Librarian Symposium on October 8-9, 2018.* This symposium is styled after the successful and popular Midwest Data Librarian Symposium, being held this year on the same date. As such, it is intended to provide similar low-cost networking and educational opportunities for librarians and other specialists supporting research data management in the Southeastern United States. However, students and data specialists from outside of the region are welcome to attend. A planning committee of librarians from Duke, Emory, Florida State, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and the University of Virginia are responsible for developing the program and organizing symposium events. Topics covered may include data visualization, data sharing and reuse, data curation and preservation, and data literacy. Stay tuned for additional information and announcements.

It is unique among major publishers. We?re introducing these services because of the increasing demands under which researchers are placed by funders, governmental agencies and colleagues to make their dataset open and accessible. Frequently, these datasets are not in a state ready for sharing. Our service allows your researchers, or the university on their behalf, to outsource this work to an experienced team we have in place willing and able to take on this work. The support service takes datasets, including spreadsheets, code, videos, and images (see the attachment about the various data types we?ll accept) and makes them compliant, findable and accessible. As needed, just a few of the things we do are check labels for completeness and consistency, make sure metadata and descriptors are appropriately assigned and check to see that personal information is treated in compliance with HIPPA or other appropriate standards. Where needed, we?ll acquire a DOI and assign a CC-0 license to the dataset. There are numerous other checks and enhancements we provide, completing for researchers the necessary work to make their datasets more open. The service can be applied to datasets not tied to a publication, associated with article submissions (to Springer Nature journals or those of other publishers) or attached to already-published articles that reside in your institutional repository. Individual researchers can take advantage of this service for $340 per dataset. Bundles of ten or more datasets can be prepaid by libraries, departments, schools or offices on campus, as best meets your needs and resources. When twenty or more are paid for in advance, discounts ranging from 10%-15% will be applied, lowering the per-dataset charge to as low as $289. Whether the university uses this service extensively or selectively, this is a great value. Other related services to be offered include web-based or on-campus training to help librarians and researchers understand how best to navigate the data management landscape and reporting of data compliance related to articles published in Springer Nature journals. The attached brochures provides more details. I would like to discuss with you how we can best make these services available to your researchers. Can we set up time to talk? Your thoughts and questions are most welcome. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.

(I also recognize one of the authors of that study, Kappeler.) So I have a chance of really digging into this dataset and assessing whether it could realistically be replicated and/or reused. I want to make a determination of the issues a data librarian should have/would have caught. That should help me figure out what level of service they?re really providing here. Based on people?s responses thus far, it sounds like they are prettifying the datasets and little else. That?s not OK.

He asked again to speak to me about Springer data management services and said if I was not the one to be talking to about this, he?d appreciate a referral to someone else at my institution (Auburn). I understand that he?s a salesman and he?s following up, but any ideas as to how to handle this? Obviously I am not going to pass his information along to faculty as I want them to seek assistance with data management issues from me, not Springer. On the other hand, I don?t want to be outright rude to this guy, and I?m almost tempted to ask him for more information to better understand the service. Thoughts? I?ve barely been at this job six months and I don?t have much experience in the etiquette of dealing with vendors.

It is unique among major publishers. We?re introducing these services because of the increasing demands under which researchers are placed by funders, governmental agencies and colleagues to make their dataset open and accessible. Frequently, these datasets are not in a state ready for sharing. Our service allows your researchers, or the university on their behalf, to outsource this work to an experienced team we have in place willing and able to take on this work. The support service takes datasets, including spreadsheets, code, videos, and images (see the attachment about the various data types we?ll accept) and makes them compliant, findable and accessible. As needed, just a few of the things we do are check labels for completeness and consistency, make sure metadata and descriptors are appropriately assigned and check to see that personal information is treated in compliance with HIPPA or other appropriate standards. Where needed, we?ll acquire a DOI and assign a CC-0 license to the dataset. There are numerous other checks and enhancements we provide, completing for researchers the necessary work to make their datasets more open. The service can be applied to datasets not tied to a publication, associated with article submissions (to Springer Nature journals or those of other publishers) or attached to already-published articles that reside in your institutional repository. Individual researchers can take advantage of this service for $340 per dataset. Bundles of ten or more datasets can be prepaid by libraries, departments, schools or offices on campus, as best meets your needs and resources. When twenty or more are paid for in advance, discounts ranging from 10%-15% will be applied, lowering the per-dataset charge to as low as $289. Whether the university uses this service extensively or selectively, this is a great value. Other related services to be offered include web-based or on-campus training to help librarians and researchers understand how best to navigate the data management landscape and reporting of data compliance related to articles published in Springer Nature journals. The attached brochures provides more details. I would like to discuss with you how we can best make these services available to your researchers. Can we set up time to talk? Your thoughts and questions are most welcome. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.

It is unique among major publishers. We?re introducing these services because of the increasing demands under which researchers are placed by funders, governmental agencies and colleagues to make their dataset open and accessible. Frequently, these datasets are not in a state ready for sharing. Our service allows your researchers, or the university on their behalf, to outsource this work to an experienced team we have in place willing and able to take on this work. The support service takes datasets, including spreadsheets, code, videos, and images (see the attachment about the various data types we?ll accept) and makes them compliant, findable and accessible. As needed, just a few of the things we do are check labels for completeness and consistency, make sure metadata and descriptors are appropriately assigned and check to see that personal information is treated in compliance with HIPPA or other appropriate standards. Where needed, we?ll acquire a DOI and assign a CC-0 license to the dataset. There are numerous other checks and enhancements we provide, completing for researchers the necessary work to make their datasets more open. The service can be applied to datasets not tied to a publication, associated with article submissions (to Springer Nature journals or those of other publishers) or attached to already-published articles that reside in your institutional repository. Individual researchers can take advantage of this service for $340 per dataset. Bundles of ten or more datasets can be prepaid by libraries, departments, schools or offices on campus, as best meets your needs and resources. When twenty or more are paid for in advance, discounts ranging from 10%-15% will be applied, lowering the per-dataset charge to as low as $289. Whether the university uses this service extensively or selectively, this is a great value. Other related services to be offered include web-based or on-campus training to help librarians and researchers understand how best to navigate the data management landscape and reporting of data compliance related to articles published in Springer Nature journals. The attached brochures provides more details. I would like to discuss with you how we can best make these services available to your researchers. Can we set up time to talk? Your thoughts and questions are most welcome. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.

I think the language you?ve suggested is very good. I would have used it, too, except that I found an even better solution, which was to go and have a chat with our librarian down in Technical Services who handles all the vendor relationships. After we talked about why this service was not a good fit for us (or arguably anyone *cough cough*) he said he would be happy to talk to the Springer rep himself and politely get rid of him. (He told me, after hearing the guy?s name, that it?s not our normal contact at Springer anyway.) So, the saga is over, for me at least. I don?t expect this to be the last attempt the big publishers make at offering data services, though.

Best, Ali Krzton Research Data Management Librarian RBD Library Auburn University alk0043 at auburn.edu Ph: 334-844-8268 ORCID: 0000-0001-9979-2471 From: Schatz, Robert, Springer SBM US [mailto:Bob.Schatz at springernature.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 11:36 AM To: Ali Krzton > Subject: Details about Springer Nature's new reserach data support services Alicia, If you have five minutes, I?d like to share details about Springer Nature?s new Research Data Services. It is unique among major publishers. We?re introducing these services because of the increasing demands under which researchers are placed by funders, governmental agencies and colleagues to make their dataset open and accessible. Frequently, these datasets are not in a state ready for sharing. Our service allows your researchers, or the university on their behalf, to outsource this work to an experienced team we have in place willing and able to take on this work. The support service takes datasets, including spreadsheets, code, videos, and images (see the attachment about the various data types we?ll accept) and makes them compliant, findable and accessible. As needed, just a few of the things we do are check labels for completeness and consistency, make sure metadata and descriptors are appropriately assigned and check to see that personal information is treated in compliance with HIPPA or other appropriate standards. Where needed, we?ll acquire a DOI and assign a CC-0 license to the dataset. There are numerous other checks and enhancements we provide, completing for researchers the necessary work to make their datasets more open. The service can be applied to datasets not tied to a publication, associated with article submissions (to Springer Nature journals or those of other publishers) or attached to already-published articles that reside in your institutional repository. Individual researchers can take advantage of this service for $340 per dataset. Bundles of ten or more datasets can be prepaid by libraries, departments, schools or offices on campus, as best meets your needs and resources. When twenty or more are paid for in advance, discounts ranging from 10%-15% will be applied, lowering the per-dataset charge to as low as $289. Whether the university uses this service extensively or selectively, this is a great value. Other related services to be offered include web-based or on-campus training to help librarians and researchers understand how best to navigate the data management landscape and reporting of data compliance related to articles published in Springer Nature journals. The attached brochures provides more details. I would like to discuss with you how we can best make these services available to your researchers. Can we set up time to talk? Your thoughts and questions are most welcome. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.

In February 2017 DuraSpace and euroCRIS signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the intent of working with the respective communities in order to share ideas and best practices on how repositories interoperate with CRIS platforms and to identify together the right technologies and standards to make this interoperability smoother and stronger. Both organizations promote a scholarly and research ecosystem which is much more integrated. CRIS systems and repositories are two important components of such an ecosystem.The CRIS 2018 Conference offers both DuraSpace and euroCRIS the right opportunity to bring the two communities together. This first joint initiative will focus on the relations between one of DuraSpace?s projects, DSpace , and the CRIS systems.DSpace users will have a great opportunity to meet to identify existing examples of integration between DSpace and CRIS systems and to discuss functionalities that DSpace could implement in the future in order to more effectively support workflows traditionally associated with Research Information Systems.The meeting is open to the international community of DSpace Users and to all those who are interested in exploring DSpace as a sustainable solution for their project. All participants will have a chance to get together and share their experience and use cases to the benefit of the whole community.Since the event is in Sweden it will provide all attendees the unique opportunity to learn how the relations between DSpace repositories and CRIS systems are being implemented in the Scandinavian Region.

In these crowdsourcing events, researchers and the research data community will learn more about the kinds of educational resources that are currently available to teach and learn about research data management (RDM) skills, methods, and practices. The second crowdsourcing event is scheduled for Thursday, March 29nd from 4 pm ? 5:15 pm Eastern / 20:00 UTC using ESIP?s GoTo Training platform. Call-in details can be found on the ESIP Telecon website at: http://www.esipfed.org/telecons under the ?DMT Clearinghouse Crowdsource? entry. In the first crowdsourcing event, we searched for educational resources to add to the DMT Clearinghouse that help enable researchers make their data FAIR (Findable - Accessible ? Interoperable ? Reusable) per the description in the following seminal article: https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618 (the Australian National Data Service also has created an excellent webinar series on the FAIR principles that is described in the DMT Clearinghouse at the following location: http://dmtclearinghouse.esipfed.org/node/9907). In this second event, we plan to map the resources that we?ve found to the FAIR principles, and get them ready to add to the DMT Clearinghouse. The goals of the planned event are to: ? Develop awareness of the FAIR Data Principles, the Enabling FAIR Data project, and the Data Management Training Clearinghouse ? Contribute to the inventory of educational resources related to RDM with a focus on Enabling the FAIR data principles, and ? Generate broader, engaged participation for both projects Researchers, Librarians, Teaching Data Professionals and Educators from all science subject domains are welcome.
