Improving user engagement in a data repository with web analyticsIUPUI
Presented at LITA Forum 2013
Abstract: A goal of data curation activities is to enable discovery and reuse of valuable data sets. How well repositories facilitate these activities is difficult to measure with existing metrics. In this presentation we will discuss how to utilize usage statistics from DSpace (Apache SOLR) and Google Analytics to better understand how researchers discover, access, and use datasets archived in an institutional repository. Our focus will be on data analysis to explore the information seeking needs and behavior of data repository users. Ultimately, this analytic approach will inform the outreach, marketing, and impact evaluation of data repositories.

Assessment data can be collected from a multitude of sources from within and outside your library. It’s not just about the size of collections, or number of reference transactions, or hours a library is open. This presentation will review some of the key places assessment information can be gathered and provide strategies to creatively think about assessment data collection for your library.

Embedding open in the research training processDanny Kingsley
Abstract: Some institutions offer graduate training that sits alongside the master/apprentice system. But many rely on models such as the Vitae Researcher Development Framework that do not encompass many (or any) open concepts. This means the training of researchers in many of these spaces falls to library staff. From the academic side, grassroots organisations such as AIMOS or ANZORN offer a community for the interested. There are multiple sets of competencies developed for scholarly communication librarians, but these are not represented in any university library course in Australia. So those teaching the research community are relying on gathered skills and working without a standardised set of agreed
learnings for their target community. The result is haphazard and highly reliant on the skills of individuals at specific institutions. We are in need of some robust frameworks and standards. What are the minimum skills and knowledge we would expect of a graduate researcher in Australia when it comes to open? We are not starting from scratch, there are many organisations in Australia that have done work on some aspects of open training or skills. It is time for this to be brought into a cohesive and agreed standard we can all work towards.

The landscape of academic research has changed rapidly in the past decade, with access to high-performance networks, and the focus on data-intensive and interdisciplinary scholarship. Research libraries in North America are developing new services and programs aimed at meeting scholars’ needs for data-intensive, and interdisciplinary research support. Examples of some emerging programs include:
• Supporting digital research (graphical information systems, digital humanities, survey research methodologies, working with large datasets)
• Educating users about copyright and author rights
• Supporting content-creation and publishing activities in numerous ways: institutional repository to store and host works, establishing maker spaces, and developing infrastructure and workflows for more formal library-located publishing efforts
• Collaboration with research offices to educate researchers about federal mandates for open access publications and datasets
• Establishment of data management and archival resources
• Partnering with third-party vendors and with consortia to achieve scale-efficiencies and facilitate impact
• Development of researcher information management systems to support collaboration, discovery, and reporting
We present a case study of the development of a suite of new tools and services at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign within its newly established Office of Research to support digital scholarship and to provide sustained and broad access to research. We will also discuss the significant challenges and opportunities of library/campus partnerships for cyberinfrastructure and research support.
Impacts, consequences and outcomes of open policies in EuropeDanny Kingsley
The past few years have been extremely active ones for all things ‘open’ in Europe. The UK OA mandates have changed the publishing landscape, resulting in several subscription experiments with varied success. Over the past couple of years the number of European countries which have held out on their Big Deal negotiations continues to rise, and there are many examples where negotiations have completely broken down. The impact of this on libraries and researchers is still being assessed. And of course Plan S looms large, prompting huge debate and discussion across the sector. No-one is completely happy with Plan S but some players are more agitated than others. One of the outcomes has been a strong increase of interest in and signatories to DORA, and research culture itself is under scrutiny. The ‘post-truth’ political reality further emphasises the need for science to be above criticism, something being addressed by the UK Research Integrity Enquiry and the US Committee on Reproducibility and Replicability in Science. Meanwhile large academic publishers have seen the writing on the wall and are rapidly diversifying, resulting in a highly concentrated infrastructure market that threatens to shut down and monetise all aspects of the research process other than the final ‘open’ research output.

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user's behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.
Users are not only heavily using new tools, but are also creating and shaping their own preferred tools.
Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments.
Tomorrow's research staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment.
Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating library services and resources into their environments.

The Future of Finding: Resource Discovery @ The University of OxfordMegan Hurst
The report is the culmination of a one-year multi-strand research project, and examines how users of the museums and libraries at the University of Oxford find the information they need (known as “resource discovery”), current practices among other institutions, and trends and possibilities for resource discovery in the future.
Athenaeum21 led the end-user research and needs assessment portion of the project, and then led the synthesis and analysis of the data across all of the research strands, making the recommendations and writing the final report. The report defines the resource discovery strategy for the University for the next 5 years.

Preparing Health Sciences Students for Real World Information Gathering Using...Margaret Henderson
Paper presented at the Medical Library Association annual meeting in Chicago, 2019. Focuses on using critical pedagogy to help students learn how to find real world information to help with their work or assignments.
There are many online and in-person courses available for librarians to learn about research data management, data analysis, and visualization, but after you have taken a course, how do you go about applying what you have learned? While it is possible to just start offering classes and consultations, your service will have a better chance of becoming relevant if you consider stakeholders and review your institutional environment. This lecture will give you some ideas to get started with data services at your institution.
There is more to RDM services than the technical skills necessary for data management. Soft skills and non-technical skills are very important when setting up RDM services, and continue to be important to the sustainability of services. Reference skills, relationship building, negotiation, listening, facilitating access to de-centralized resources, policy knowledge and assessment, are all important to the success of a service. Margaret Henderson will discuss these skills and show you how to start RDM services, even if you don’t feel confident about your statistical skills or knowledge of R.

Inroads into Data: Getting Involved in Data at Your InstitutionMargaret Henderson
Every institution creates and uses data for many reasons. Data needs to be collected, described, stored, organized, retrieved, and shared, all things that librarians can help with. But how do you get started when there are many types of data and a range of services that can be offered? I will cover how to leverage the skills librarians already have to work with data and suggest some areas of data and service to get you started.
Summary of the requirements for compliance with the new public access plans from US federal agencies under the Office of Science and Technology Memo. This talk was presented to the Research Administration & Compliance group at VCU.
Many thanks to Rebecca Reznik-Zellen for the HHS slides that were developed for the eScience Symposium.
Thanks to Amanda Lea Whitmire for her one memo to rule them all slide.
This slide deck is an overview of some of the main points of the federal department plans created in response to the OSTP Memo that requires public access to papers and data produced with government funds. Specifically, this covers HHS, DOD, DOE, NASA, and NSF responses. We created this just in case a speaker didn't show and though it might be useful to others. You are welcome to use any or all of the presentation as you see fit.
Paper presented at the 2012 MLA Quad Chapter meeting in Baltimore, MD, Oct. 13-16. Discusses i2b2 and how it could be used in medical education. And suggests other data if i2b2 not available in your hospital.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

9. The PLAN
1. Create a web presence with mission, services, and current resources, such as DMP Tool (need to
customize interface for VCU), GIS, current data sets, e.g. Social Science Electronic Data Library, open
data sets, e.g. HealthData.gov, data repositories outside VCU.
2. Develop open classes and curriculum-based instruction on DMP Tool for RDM plans necessary for
grants, RDM basics for novice researchers, finding data from open repositories, maybe even an elective
on good research practices.
3. Survey other groups on campus who are interested in or working with data and data management.
4. Develop a database of VCU data resources. This can be added to the VIVO database with eagle-i.
5. Conduct data interviews with groups and individual researchers. Start with heavy data users identified
in initial survey.
6. Analyze the collected data and work with stakeholders to develop policies and services for VCU.
– Is there a need for a data repository at VCU?
– What are the best practices that have been developed at other institutions?
7. Develop programs within VCU and with other institutions to educate librarians and other staff about
data and the research enterprise.
8. Set up an Assessment Plan for services, resources, and educational efforts.
• All of these will be done in collaboration with any interested liaisons, librarians, departments, or other
VCU groups.
• My goal will be to create a flexible infrastructure that can adapt to the future needs of the research
enterprise at VCU.
10. Supervisor’s PLAN
1. Developing a framework for knowledge-based research data services for the
lifespan of research data to the VCU community.
2. Serving as a consultant to researchers on research data issues, providing access
to research data, and working with digital research tools such as DMPTool to
manage, curate and archive research data.
3. Leading the ongoing assessment of researcher data support needs across VCU in
collaboration with the Center for Clinical and Translational Research, the VCU
Office of Research, and VCU Libraries colleagues.
4. Identifying new data management tools and initiatives; maintaining and
promoting existing tools to the VCU research community.
5. Monitoring trends in e-research and data stewardship to inform the design of
innovative services and knowledge creation tools.
6. Representing the library and participating in forging an infrastructure to support
e-science.
7. Training subject liaison librarians in the use of emerging technologies and best
practices for research services to engage research faculty and students across
the Monroe Park and MCV Campuses.
16. Why Librarians?
Library and information professionals:
• need to become more involved with semantic
web or users will reinvent wheel (i.e. ontologies)
• have the interpersonal and subject specialization
for reference/consultation that IT doesn't have
• continue to help users find the information they
need.

“I don’t see it impacting our fundamental
mission at all. Our job is to advance discovery
and support our faculty and their work, and
insure student success…”
