Johnston. Volume one is "Practical Strategies for Your Digital Repository," and volume two is "A Handbook of Current Practice." They are a good, comprehensive read for any professional dealing with digital data. >From volume two's foreword: "Notably, this handbook focuses on the data curation practices and techniques taken by curation staff in a digital repository setting, yet these steps will be valuable for anyone facilitating data management support for research data, regardless of the final destination of the data (i.e. long-term archiving). Therefore data curators, archivists, research data management specialists, subject librarians, institutional repository managers, and digital library staff will benefit from these current and practical approaches to data curation." ____________________________________ Regina Avila Digital Services Librarian National Institute of Standards and Technology 301-975-3575 -----Original Message----- From: rdap-bounces at kunverj.com On Behalf Of rdap-request at kunverj.com Sent: 04 February 2019 11:54 PM To: rdap at mail.kunverj.com Subject: RDAP Digest, Vol 101, Issue 2 Send RDAP mailing list submissions to rdap at mail.kunverj.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.kunverj.com%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Frdap&data=02%7C01%7Cregina.avila%40nist.gov%7Ca3764f12e37d43bd9e6a08d68b2631d0%7C2ab5d82fd8fa4797a93e054655c61dec%7C1%7C0%7C636849393501715173&sdata=buJoEO9XVdxUOE7qLAH6%2BHMacf5y7SCZ31xFaR6rdEc%3D&reserved=0 or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to rdap-request at mail.kunverj.com You can reach the person managing the list at rdap-owner at mail.kunverj.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of RDAP digest..."

Researchers, publishers, librarians, computer scientists, informaticians, funders, educators, citizens, and others attend the FORCE11 meeting with a view to supporting the realisation of promising new ideas and identifying new potential collaborators. FORCE11 Chairman Dan O?Donnell added: ?FORCE2019 is an exciting opportunity to connect the worldwide community with the special energy and passion of our colleagues in Edinburgh, and the many interesting projects in Scotland ? like the Digital Curation Centre and Edina. We thank the University of Edinburgh for partnering with us. We?re looking forward!?

URL: From wendy.hagenmaier at gmail.com Wed Feb 13 17:13:26 2019 From: wendy.hagenmaier at gmail.com (Wendy Hagenmaier) Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2019 17:13:26 -0500 Subject: [Rdap] Reminder: Let's Map the Landscape of Software Preservation Services Message-ID: The Software Preservation Network (SPN) Research Working Group invites you to participate in a survey on practices, needs, and gaps related to software preservation. Why Does This Matter? For decades, researchers and practitioners in information science, digital preservation, and allied fields have discussed the necessity of software preservation: preserving software is a prerequisite for preserving and providing access to digital cultural heritage and research, and software is increasingly considered a research product or artifact in itself. How are cultural heritage professionals working on preserving software? What are the obstacles to software preservation? Do best practices exist? To help answer these important questions, we need your input. This survey is the first in what we hope will be a longitudinal study of software preservation services over time. Who Should Participate? Any individual or organization involved in activities that involve or rely on software preservation is encouraged to take the survey. For the purposes of this survey, software preservation encompasses a wide range of experimental or established services or actions at organizations such as collecting original software media and documentation, consultations with software producers or users of specialized or obsolete software, preservation of software code or executable files, metadata creation for preserved software, etc. The survey will close on February 19, 2019. How will the survey information be used? Anonymized data from the study will be made available to the profession, along with analysis of current trends and possibilities for future research. This study has been approved by the Georgia Institute of Technology Institutional Review Board. Take the survey (roughly 15 minutes): https://b.gatech.edu/2Cs10Gf Questions?

If you haven't seen the program yet, take a look! The EmpLibs conference is uniquely focused on practical presentations on working with research, whether it's your patrons' research or your own. You can see the schedule of sessions at https://www.lib.utk.edu/emplibs/2019-program/ and see the abstracts for more details. Even if you can only come for one day, our $45 registration fee is worth it for the amazing sessions we have lined up. We have great sessions on supporting researchers (our Track 1), including science communication, data, and scholcomm topics as well as collaboration and graduate student support topics. We also have a striking array of presentations on being researchers in the library (our Track 2), including assessment and methodology topics covering all sorts of quantitative, qualitative, and humanistic techniques. This is a conference where librarians who do research can get ideas from colleagues who are in the weeds of helping researchers, and where librarians who support researchers can get ideas from people in the weeds of doing research. We will have a virtual keynote from Kris Brancolini & Marie Kennedy (the wonderful PIs of the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship), and breaks for networking too. Come join our conversation! Christopher Eaker Assistant Professor & Data Curation Librarian ORCID: 0000-0001-5881-1680 University of Tennessee Libraries 236 John C.

URL: From adamus at wisc.edu Tue Feb 26 16:48:01 2019 From: adamus at wisc.edu (Trisha Adamus) Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019 21:48:01 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Institution sponsorship for the RDAP 2019 Summit Message-ID: Hello RDAP Community! As an update, the sponsorship committee has raised $25K for the 2019 Summit! We have received sponsorship from several vendors and professional organizations, but we could use a few more sponsorship dollars from academic institutions. How can you help? Please consider sending the language I am including below to the people at your institution that can make financial decisions on sponsorship of RDAP. It would really help the Sponsorship Committee if we could reach more institutions by leveraging our community members. Thank you so much for considering. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have about RDAP sponsorship. Best, Trisha Adamus (chair) for the Sponsorship Committee ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear , I hope this email finds you well. I am contacting you on behalf of the Research Data Access and Preservation Association (https://rdapassociation.org/). We are seeking financial assistance for our upcoming RDAP meeting in Miami on May 15-17, 2019. Our annual summit of research data management professionals is a supportive, productive community from academic institutions, libraries, national research centers, nonprofits, and government agencies from across North America. In mid-2018, RDAP became the RDAP Association, an independent, not for profit, professional association aimed advancing best practices in research data and providing professional development opportunities to our community. RDAP 2018 included over 50 original research contributions, including panel presentations, posters, and lightning talks, which were combined with interactive learning and networking events. Over 165 professionals attended in 2018 and we expect more contributions and greater attendance for RDAP 2019. Your support will go directly toward the costs of the summit: meeting space, supplies, and food. Any donation that you can make will defray these expenses, lower the registration fee, and thus lower the barrier for attendance and make the summit more successful. Lowering attendance costs is important because it allows more people to attend which, in turn, strengthens and expands the diversity of our community. Our 2018 Summit sponsors helped us lower registration cost by 52%. To see what sponsorship opportunities are available, and what RDAP can offer in return, please visit our Sponsorship webpage (https://rdapassociation.org/summit-info/sponsors-2/). Any and all levels of support are greatly appreciated. You may contact also RDAP Sponsorship Chair Trisha Adamus (adamus at wisc.edu) for more information about sponsorship opportunities. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, YOUR NAME -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
