On behalf of the DCN Education team, presenters include: * Cynthia Hudson Vitale (Pennsylvania State University) * Hannah Hadley (Pennsylvania State University) * Primer authors covering 7 different data types/formats The Data Curation Network presents a new resource to add to your data curation toolkit. "Data curation primers" are evolving documents that detail a specific subject, disciplinary area or curation task, and that can be used as a reference or jump-start to curating research data. The first set of these primers, authored by teams of experts, have just been published and cover the following data types/formats: Microsoft Excel; Microsoft Access; Geodatabases; netCDF; Jupyter Notebooks, SPSS; and Wordpress.com websites. Attend this webinar to hear directly from primer authors about incorporating these resources into your workflows and how you can share your own expertise. Data curation primers were the direct output of an IMLS-funded workshop series hosted by the partners in the Data Curation Network. The webinar is free.

We?d love it if you can find the time. Scott You are invited to participate in a survey to help better understand metadata knowledge, attitudes, and usage in scholarly communications. The survey is being carried out by the Metadata 2020 project, and seeks input from all key stakeholder groups -- researchers, publishers, librarians, and repository managers. Metadata 2020 is a collaboration that advocates richer, connected, and reusable, open metadata for all research outputs, for the benefit of everyone. Projects, including this survey and its subsequent analysis, are designed and conducted by volunteer community contributors . This voluntary survey will take about 15 minutes of time, and is open to those 18 years old or over (no compensation for participants). Please participate by June 28 at this link: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4729698/Metadata2020-survey-email Note that the survey starts by asking your primary role. Many of you on this list act in multiple roles so you may want to fill out the survey more than once, focusing on your different experiences. Finally, we are particularly interested in getting responses from researchers. If you have a distribution list of researchers that you work with and would be willing to send the survey link to them, we would greatly appreciate it.

This is the 4th workshop at IEEE Big Data addressing Computational Archival Science, following on from workshops in 2016 (D.C.), 2017 (Boston), and 2018 (Seattle). All papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, made available at the conference, which takes place Dec. 9 ? 12, 2019 in Los Angeles, CA, USA. This day-long workshop will explore the conjunction (and its consequences) of emerging methods and technologies around big data with archival practice and new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archives. We aim to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational archival science in the coming years. At the same time, we will address the questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of ?big data? and the uses to which it is put, in particular appraising the challenges of producing quality ? meaning, knowledge and value ? from quantity, tracing data and analytic provenance across complex ?big data? platforms and knowledge production ecosystems, and addressing data privacy issues. Important dates: - Oct 1, 2018: Due date for full workshop papers submission - Oct 22, 2018: Notification of paper acceptance to authors - Nov 10, 2019: Camera-ready version of accepted papers - Dec 9 ? 12, 2019: Workshop [exact date TBD] See the full workshop CFP to learn more, including suggested research topics and submission instructions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The terms were developed through the pooling of expertise and community input from librarians involved in financial and geospatial data licensing. CRL provides these terms for use in negotiating agreements for large global datasets provided by commercial vendors. In November 2016, CRL hosted the inaugural eDesiderata Forum on the topic of licensing large databases and datasets (the event description, related resources and documentation can be found here). Guided by the findings of the 2016 Forum, CRL developed a set of terms and specifications recommended for inclusion in data acquisition licenses to facilitate more successful, informative and mutually constructive agreements with vendors of global data resources. Last Spring, CRL shared a proposed draft of these terms and invited members to provide feedback and pose questions, facilitating a virtual discussion regarding strategies for licensing and providing access to global data resources. CRL updated the terms based on the feedback received during the review period. Both the current and previous versions can be found on the following CRL page: https://www.crl.edu/electronic-resources/tools-resources We encourage community input on the terms and specification, comments can be submitted on the PDF (Google Drive document) using the in-line commenting function. Comments will inform future revisions of the document. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are transitioning our cloud storage from Box to One Drive. I am finding that many researchers are working only in the cloud and do not have local copies on their machines. So they only have the one copy, and what back-up Box provides which is not always reliable. Also our IT department is not really encourage people to make back-ups, as they believe this transition will go smoothly. I asked our Box support contact, and he asked me why I would even want to know this. The workflow to back-up from a PC to the cloud and an external hard drive is more straight forward, and backing up cloud storage is the more tricky part. And we do not have a service like Globus to be able to send large amounts of data. What I think to recommend is to take it in chunks. Through the browser, Box only allows for a max of 15 GB per download. If they set up Box Drive they can copy over more, but it will take a substantial amount of time. This is a slow and labor intensive way to do this. Also I am not a coder. So I am looking for detailed workflows for back-up from cloud to external drive/PC that is efficient and will help these researchers protect their data. If you have one, can you share it with me?

Relying just on a single cloud storage provider, particularly during a transition between service providers, is a bit more risk that I?d take for most research data. This storage workflow (under Data Storage Hardware and Services at https://www.library.caltech.edu/services/research-data-support) includes Box.com instructions at the end as a way to back up the NAS. But for your case with existing files on Box, the sync direction should be ?Download? or ?Bidirectional? instead. Then the NAS will chug through and download all the files on Box to the NAS. This is effectively the same as using the ?Box Sync? application on a desktop machine, but because the NAS is a separate device it can download the files continually without impacting anything else the researcher is working on.

This storage workflow (under Data Storage Hardware and Services at https://www.library.caltech.edu/services/research-data-support) includes Box.com instructions at the end as a way to back up the NAS.

Contact Seth if you have any questions (email below). From: Anderson, Seth Dear Colleagues, ANNOUNCEMENT Today we are launching the EaaSI Open Source Software Sandbox: The sandbox provides free, public access to emulated computer environments featuring operating systems and software from over twenty years of open source development including: * landmark open source distributions, * alternatives to major proprietary software titles, * interfaces for the R programming language and * open source educational software. We?re offering the sandbox to show how EaaSI makes access to emulation possible at the click of a button. You can also review the metadata records we are sharing to learn more about the open software inside and to verify its accuracy. We invite you to poke around these fascinating legacy programs and to learn more about the capabilities of the EaaSI system as you do. STAY INFORMED To receive bi-monthly EaaSI updates via newsletter and share your software preservation successes/challenges, sign up for the Software Preservation Network mailing list by visiting https://groups.google.com/d/forum/software-preservation-network. If you have questions for the project team, please contact the EaaSI Community Outreach Lead, Jessica Meyerson, at . MORE ABOUT EAASI With generous support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and led by Yale University Library, the EaaSI program builds on previous work to apply the Emulation-as-a-Service(EaaS) framework for access and use of preserved software and digital objects. The project is focused on scaling the technological framework necessary for multiple institutions to configure, share, and access software and configured environments. EaaSI is focused on a distributed, community-driven architecture that sits on top of existing digital preservation infrastructure. This directly complements existing efforts by the Software Preservation Network and others to address key aspects of software preservation including legal advocacy, research about local software preservation needs, institutional capacity building for software preservation, collection development, professional development and training, and workflow recommendations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
