Level Up! Building data services at the Marriott LibraryRebekah Cummings
Research data services have become a common fixture in academic libraries, yet many libraries still struggle to develop an appropriate and in-demand mix of services to support their research community. While an elite few offer seemingly endless curatorial assistance, the majority of libraries are building basic to mid-level services such as DMP support, workshops, and consultations. This case study provides a detailed look at the University of Utah Marriott Library’s data services, the rationale behind our current service model, the results of our campus data needs assessment, and how we plan to grow our technical infrastructure into the future. In addition to an overview of our data service mix, we will look closely at one current initiative, the Entertainment, Arts, and Engineering (EAE) Thesis Preservation Project, which highlights curation challenges such as irregular and proprietary file formats, copyright restrictions, long-term preservation, and a lack of appropriate metadata standards. This presentation will highlight the Marriott Library’s data curation accomplishments to date alongside an honest assessment of ongoing challenges.

Thank you very much for inviting me to be here and to everyone who has done the organisation to make this visit possible. Libraries are about thinking big and sharing ideas, staff/staff, clients/clients, clients/staff, staff/clients Connecting with open networks like the readers advisory wiki and games wiki, use them in the way that works for you, and shape it that way, will be interesting to see who responds Be bold, libraries have a great future
My work is with public libraries in NSW – some of it is to facilitate collaborative projects The key indicators of public library across NSW use show that the public are using libraries more than ever. 2010 figures show: Library visits are above 37 million, and have increased by 15% over the past 5 years Loans have exceeded 50 million per annum for the first time - up 7% over the past 5 years Internet use has increased by 30% in the past 5 years and UTS library recently reported an increase in their enquiry statistics at all services points, because of their use of mobile and social tools

Are we offering happiness in: content creation in content co-creation in preservation in digitisation in finding information sources in finding recreational interest in building new networks between people who use our libraries in reading groups In programming In sharing/creating stories For people new to communities in connecting them to the community In lending/making access available to content in discussion groups… Are we offering happiness?

Barbecoa http://www.flickr.com/photos/walsh02/5209417055/ These people sell meat Are we encouraging people to think differently about traditional things libraries do? This butcher shop is encouraging people to think differently about meat Are we thinking differently about content creation, and content creation with our community Are we thinking differently about preservation and digital preservation (and acting on both)? Barbecoa seems to be about extreme technical skill, excellent product, and excellence in customer service, and using a combination of this in the best way to serve the clients Reminder to value and celebrate the technical skills of staff (and keep developing technical skills too)

These NSW based collaborations can be joined in by anyone anywhere They are based around some of our state wide working groups: Reference and information services Readers advisory All of their use of collective management structure, there are no chairs to these groups, they are run by different people at different times depending on everyone’s workloads. The meetings still happen, agendas and minutes are available, they work really well without a more traditional hierarchy
Re-ex http://wiki.libraries.nsw.gov.au/index.php/Reference_excellence Based on Ohio project To help with excellence in technical skills and excellence in customer services Expanding collaboration group Aim was to improve reference training over all state Targeting library staff for training and refresher training – has been effective in both contexts
Search strategy module http://wiki.libraries.nsw.gov.au/index.php/Module_4 New modules being added under Creative commons licensing – non-commercial, to share and reuse Collaborative development – brainstorming sessions with post it notes then google docs for tweaking because everyone can share the one document and everyone is working on the one version, and you can track back to previous versions very easily of something does go wrong Collaborative evaluation and revision currently underway Could be useful for people new to school libraries to use as well – the training is already being used widely
12 months of Google analytics data showing the location of use within Australia. Will be doing a collaborative evaluation, review and revision in February 2012
Readers advisory wiki http://readersadvisory.wetpaint.com/ Participation in this linked to learning 2.0 course, describe, this was critical tool for expanding collaboration more widely as location did not matter Anyone can join – we already have interstate and overseas members, so feel free to join and ask to be a writer so you can contribute Not everyone will be available at the same time, this gives different opportunities to people at different times Used this to consult for titles for Stock quality health check – research project currently underway - describe One collaboration can lead to another Use of this wiki led to
Who uses twitter Why? Why twitter ? Professional development, rss feed for ideas, conferences Great place to discuss reading
The themes were brainstormed at a meeting with over 30 people at Manly in late 2010. Cathy, Jenn, Vassilki, Amy, Helen, Therese, Monique and I are doing the coordination. Locations of these librarians include Coffs Harbour, Wagga Wagga, Bowral and different parts of Sydney. And not all tweet (Monique and Therese don’t but that is not a problem for any of the team) The planning has been done by e-mail, teleconference and google docs as we are usually all in the one place once a year at the annual readers advisory seminar in March. It has been a learning experience and as new people join the group it is about describing how the tools are used to help, because it is about the people – the tools just allow people spread across an area to work together effectively Using tools like Google docs, and helping different people learn
Theme for the year, but each month as separate theme as well 2011 Marketing Awards for NSW Public Libraries won Social media category http://blog.sl.nsw.gov.au/pls/index.cfm/2011/11/23/2011-marketing-awards-for-nsw-public-libraries
Libraries can participate by promoting the reading group on twitter… Wingecaribee Library on twitter - http://twitter.com/#!/wingecarribee
From Townsville Library on twitter https://twitter.com/#!/TownsvilleLib – again - no way to telling it isn’t local
And even a specialist library – the Forensic and scientific services library is encouraging their followers to tweet their reading
http://flsblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-is-sci-fi-month.html From Victoria this public library has picked some highlights for their blog post – linking to the reading group site – and it looks like it is their own work
From Readers in the mist blog http://readersinthemist.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/read-it-2011-november/ Blue Mountains Library, NSW Similarly here – and it is great to see the way some libraries have really embraced the twitter reading group and been promoting it for their clients
Read @ UTS blog http://read.lib.uts.edu.au/2011/11/teaser-tuesdays-15-november-2011.html And universities have been doing this as well
coming themes for #readit2011 Complete list of themes available from http://readit2011.wordpress.com/
October egoreads http://readit2011.wordpress.com/october/
How does it work? People tweet their reading with the tag during the month – so #moreads
Last Tuesday of the month at 8.00pm there is a live twitter discussion – need to use the tag to participate otherwise people won’t see your comments and ideas Can watch the discussion by doing a twitter search
How do you evaluate a twitter reading group? Exploring twapper keeper – this is for a previous month – just to show indicative data – and it is indicative, but it helps to tell the story of what is happening url for this page http://summarizr.labs.eduserv.org.uk/?hashtag=bookbites For twapper keeper http://twapperkeeper.com/index.php
and Archivist – which is a similar tool I am trying out to see what story is being told through all of this. http://archivist.visitmix.com/ellenforsyth/1 (url for this page) http://archivist.visitmix.com/ Archivist home page

Need to think about different ways to promote the twitter reading group, so t-shirts are a start Redbubble http://www.redbubble.com/people/nswrisg/t-shirts/6748844-readit2011-the-complete-tag-list-2
David Lee King wearing one of the readit2011 t-shirts http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidking/5589809243/ The reference group sent it to him when they sent him one for the reference seminar he was presenting at via Skype earlier this year. So it has provided a good way of promoting the reading group, but things are scaling up next year
This has been planned by the NSW readers advisory group – with a meeting in Bowral to discuss the parameters of the themes 10 of which are based on the themes showing on the petals of the love2read flower – face to face, lots of post it notes then discussion as we adjusted the grouping of the postit notes to define the themes, and as we decided to order for the themes. There is a blog – shown on screen with information about the themes for each month – you may want to use these with in –library reading groups or you may just want to promote them to your readers who tweet next year – it is totally up to you – you could use the themes for storytimes, reading groups, it may tie in with literacy work you are doing and so on. http://love2read2012.wordpress.com/
What is reading? http://love2read2012.wordpress.com/what-is-reading/ This was covered in separate post as we wanted people to know that reading is not simply about reading books, although that is important, but that any reading counts. During the #egoreads discussion people were talking about celebrity twitter streams as live streaming biography
October http://love2read2012.wordpress.com/monthly-themes/october/ People are encouraged each month to tweet, talk or in any other way discuss their reading using the hashtag, and then on the last Tuesday of the month there is a live twitter discussion. This year from 8.00pm in NSW, next year from 8.00pm in the earliest time done in Australia (which will be Queensland) to at least 10.00pm in WA. There are a small number of Western Australian collaborators to help facilitate this discussion so that together we can provide a national twitter reading group. There will be a blog post a week about the themes for each month
October http://love2read2012.wordpress.com/monthly-themes/october/
Monthly themes http://love2read2012.wordpress.com/monthly-themes/ You could participate in this by reading tweets, books, reading in games, any kind of reading – so encourage your students to try this out. You promote this as yours – you do not have to say it isn’t that is why I like the examples I showed earlier. These libraries were claiming the readit2011 as their own, which is it, it just happens to come out of a NSW collaboration which was going to happen anyway because of the success of this year’s twitter reading group.
twitter reading group and how schools could use it, interaction, could use facebook for discussions like UTS, or comments on blog posts, like this example, it is about using this in the way that works for your students.
