Since Wikipedia launched in 2001, librarians have maintained a cautious and, at times, hostile relationship with the online, crowd-sourced encyclopedia. Librarians have largely ignored Wikipedia, citing it as an unreliable and non-authoritative resource, and steering information seekers toward traditional reference materials. While librarians waged this quiet war, Wikipedia has gained increasing dominance as an information resource, and is now the indisputable starting point for most quick research. In this presentation, attendees will learn how to wield the power of Wikipedia in their libraries and embrace Wikipedia as an information resource. Presenters will discuss how to use Wikipedia for reference and instruction, linking online resources, increasing search engine optimization, and creating linked data for the semantic web. Presenters will also discuss the great need for librarians to delve into the world of Wikipedia as researchers and contributors; including the ethics of contributing to Wikipedia. Presenters: Dustin Fife, Rebekah Cummings, Jessica Breiman

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

infrastructure for UK research and education ...”
• Networked access to a range of online resources for UK FE and HE
• Services free at the point of use for staff and students in learning,
teaching and research through institutional subscription
• Focus on service but also undertake R&D (projects services)
• delivers about 20 online services
• 5 - 8 major projects (incl. services in development)
• employs about 80 staff (Edinburgh & St Helens)
5. Data Library
• finding…
• accessing …
• using …
• troubleshooting …
• managing …
Primarily supporting research in the social sciences but
not exclusively so
Building relationships with researchers via postgraduate
teaching activities, research support projects, IS Skills
workshops, Research Data Management training and
through traditional reference interviews.
6. Research and Learning Services (RLS)
• RLS offer specific services to the University with a focus on
enabling research (publications, research data, open
scholarship, bibliometrics) and resource discovery for
learners (resource search and management systems).
• The section also provides innovation and development
capacity to the Library and University Collections Division
through its Digital Development & Projects and Innovation
teams.
7. Defining Research Data
• Research data are collected, observed or created, for the
purposes of analysis to produce and validate original research
results.
• Research data can be generated for different purposes and
through different processes in a multitude of digital formats
• Both analogue and digital materials are ‘data’.
• Digital data can be:
• created in a digital form ('born digital')
• converted to a digital form (digitised)
8. Types of Research Data
• Instrument measurements
• Experimental observations
• Still images, video and audio
• Text documents, spreadsheets, databases
• Quantitative data (e.g. household survey data)
• Survey results & interview transcripts
• Simulation data, models & software
• Slides, artefacts, specimens, samples
• Sketches, diaries, lab notebooks …
9. Research Data Management
• Research data management is caring for, facilitating access
to, preserving and adding value to research data
throughout their lifecycle.
• Data management is one of the essential areas of
responsible conduct of research.
• It provides a framework that supports researchers and
their data throughout the course of their research and
beyond.
10. Research Data Lifecycle
Data Management Planning
Creating data
Documenting data
Accessing / using data
Storage and backup
Sharing data
Preserving data
11. Benefits
Managing your data means that you will:
• Meet funder / university / industry requirements.
• Ensure data are accurate, complete, authentic and reliable –
as per good research practice.
• Ensure research integrity and replication.
• Enhance data security & minimise the risk of loss.
• Protect important IPR.
• Increase efficiency - save time & resources.
• Increase impact by sharing data (increase in citations 9 - 30% :
Piwowar & Vision 2013)
13. Funder Requirements
• AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, and STFC
all require some form of data
management or sharing plan as part of a
funding application.
• The requirements are diverse, but they all
have the RCUK Common Principles as their
foundation.
• Cancer Research UK and the Wellcome
Trust are not part of RCUK but both
require data sharing plans.
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/data-management-plans/
funders-requirements
14. Common Themes Across Funding Bodies
• What data will be created? (format, types, volumes etc)
• What standards and methodologies will you use?
• How will ethics and Intellectual Property be managed? (highlight
any restrictions on data sharing e.g. embargoes, confidentiality)
• What are the plans for data sharing and access?
• What is the strategy for long-term preservation?
16. RDM Programme @ Edinburgh
- an institutional approach
Edinburgh Data Audit Framework (DAF) Implementation
Project (May – Dec 2008)
A JISC-funded pilot project produced 6 case studies from
research units across the University in identifying research
data assets and assessing their management, using DAF
methodology developed by the Digital Curation Centre.
2 main outcomes:
• Develop university research data management policy
• Develop services & support for RDM (in partnership IS)
DAF Implementation Project: http://ie-repository.jisc.ac.uk/283/
17. University of Edinburgh RDM Policy
University of Edinburgh is one of the
first Universities in UK to adopt a
policy for managing research data:
http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/research-data-
policy
The policy was approved by the
University Court on 16 May 2011.
It’s acknowledged that this is an
aspirational policy and that
implementation will take some years.
18. Governance
An RDM Policy Implementation Committee was set up by the
Vice Principal Knowledge Management charged with delivering
services that will meet RDM policy objectives:
• Membership from across IS
• Iterate with researchers to ensure services meet the needs of researchers
The Vice Principal also established a Steering Committee led by
Prof. Peter Clarke with members of Research Committee from the 3
colleges, IS, DCC and Edinburgh Research and Innovation (ERI).
Their role is to:
• Provide oversight to the activity of the Implementation Committee
• Ensure services meet researcher requirements without harming research
competitiveness
19. Policy Implementation
RDM Programme in 3 phases:
• Phase 0: August 2012 – August 2013: Planning phase, with some
pilot activity and early deliverables.
• Phase 1: September 2013 – May 2014: Initial rollout of primary
services.
• Phase 2: June 2014 – May 2015: Continued rollout; maturation of
services.
Full details of the programme is available at:
http://edin.ac/1eE3sav
20. Policy implementation - Research Data Management
Roadmap (2012-2015)
Cross-divisional collaboration
Services already in place:
o Data management planning
o Active working file space = DataStore
o Data publication repository =
DataShare
Services in development:
o Long term data archive = DataVault
o Data Asset Register (DAR)
RDM support: Awareness raising, training
& consultancy
Before research During research After research
http://edin.ac/1u3sKqy
21. Research Data Management Planning –What is
a DMP?
DMPs are written at the conceptual stage of a project before
research data are collected or created to define:
• What data will be collected or created?
• How the data will be documented and described?
• Where the data will be stored?
• Who will be responsible for data security and backup?
• Which data will be shared and/or preserved?
• How the data will be shared and with whom?
22. Data Management Planning Support
Customised instance of DCC’s DMPonline toolkit for University
of Edinburgh use:
• Funders DMP templates
• Local (non-funder) DMP template
• Institutional guidance (storage, services, support)
• Piloting customised guidance (for funders and schools) end of Jan. 2015
Tailored DMP assistance for researchers submitting research
proposals (F-2-F)
23. DMPonline Toolkit
Free and open web-based tool to
help researchers write plans:
https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/
It features:
o Templates based on different
requirements
o Tailored guidance (disciplinary,
funder etc.)
o Customised exports to a
variety of formats
o Ability to share DMPs with
others
24. DataStore
Facility to store data that are actively used in current research activities
Provision: 1.6PB storage initially
0.5 TB (500GB) per researchers, PGR upwards
Up to 0.25TB of each allocation can be used to create “shared” group
storage
Cost of extra storage: £200 per TB per year= 1TB primary storage, 10 days
online file history, 60 days backup, DR copy
Infrastructure in place. Allocation of space devolved to IT departments of
respective Schools overseen by Heads of IT from each College.
25. DataShare
Edinburgh DataShare is the
University’s open access multi-disciplinary
data repository :
http://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk
Assists researchers disseminate
their research, get credit for data
publication, and preserve their data
for the long-term (DOI, licence,
citation)
Help researchers comply with
funder requirements to preserve
and share your data and complies
with Edinburgh’s RDM Policy
26. Data Vault
Safe, private, store of data that is only
accessible by the data creator or their
representative
Secure storage:
o File security
o Storage security
o Additional security: encryption
Long term assurance
Automatic versioning
Gathering front-end application
requirements:
authorisation, retention & deletion,
directory structure, file transfer, service
interoperation http://datablog.is.ed.ac.uk/2013/12/20/thinkin
g-about-a-data-vault
27. Data Asset Register (DAR)
catalogue of data assets produced by researchers working for
the University of Edinburgh,
will be a key component of the University of Edinburgh Research
Data Management (RDM) systems
will give researchers a single place to record the existence of
data assets they produce for discovery, access, and reuse as
appropriate
Paper proposing the adoption of PURE as the University’s DAR
was recently approved by the RDM Steering Committee (Oct.
2014)
http://datablog.is.ed.ac.uk/2013/12/12/thinking-about-research-data-asset-registers
28. Interoperation
Systems do not live in isolation,
and become more powerful and
more likely to be used if they are
integrated with each other.
However, the last thing that we
want is to introduce further
systems that need to be fed with
duplicate information.
This means interoperation for
some or all of the components
29. RDM Support
Making the most of local support!
• RDM team work with the Research Administrators in each School.
• Academic Support Librarians (who represent each of the 22 Schools)
have received RDM training, including training on writing Data
Management Plans
• IT staff in each School.
• ERI staff. They will be receiving RDM training.
• Each School’s Ethics Committee
• Bespoke RDM email address or queries can be sent to the Helpline who
will direct them as appropriate.
30. Communications Plans
There are a number of different groups with whom we need to
communicate the principles of RDM and how it is practiced and
supported within and across the University.
This will be done through a variety of communication activities to
internal target audiences including:
• active researchers,
• IS and School/College support staff,
• University Committees (research policy group, library committee,
IT committee, knowledge strategy committee)
As well as external stakeholders such as funding bodies, Russell
Group, national and international RDM community e.g. RDA, ANDS,
DPC, DCC
31. KEY MESSAGES:
Co-ordinated, Consistent, Coherent
There are three key messages which will need to be tailored and made
timely and relevant to our target audiences.
The core of each message must be maintained to ensure that everyone
gains the same level of understanding:
1. The University is committed to and has invested in RDM
• services, training, support
2. What is meant by Research Data Management?
• definitions, data lifecycle, responsibilities
3. The University is supporting researchers
• encourage good research practice, effect culture change
32. Awareness Raising
• Introductory sessions on RDM services
and support for research active and
research admin staff in Schools /
Institutes / Research Centres
• RDM website:
http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/data-management
• RDM blog: http://datablog.is.ed.ac.uk
• RDM wiki:
https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/RDM

35. RDM Programme resourcing & staffing
RDM Programme:
Funded internally (c. £1.2 Million)
75% - infrastructure / storage
25% - staffing (recurrent for 3 years)
MANTRA and DataShare – originally Jisc project funding
2014 DCC RDM Survey* - 90% of institutions used internal
funding for new appointments in RDM, for training for
infrastructure
* Digital Curation Centre's 2014 RDM Strategy to Action Survey:
https://zenodo.org/collection/user-dcc-rdm-2014
36. From RDM Programme (fixed term):
Data Library: 1.5 FTE equivalent ( + 2.5 FTE equivalent core funding)
IT Infrastructure: 2 FTE equivalent
Research & Library Services: 2 FTE equivalent
Following RDM training the job description of all Academic Support
Librarians have been restructured to incorporate DMP Support as part of
their role.
2014 DCC RDM Survey:
Overall provision for RDM is currently
4.4 FTE on average (across library, IT, research office)
4.7 FTE being the average in Russell Group institutions and
2.6FTE in other target group institutions.
RDM staffing is expected to double to 9.5 FTE in Russell Group institutions in next
year, split roughly equally across 3 groups
37. Current and future activity
Discipline-specific training – based on school-level & funder DMP guidance (Jan.
2015)
Statistics / metrics (KPIs)
• Each service deliverable manager reports a set of uptake or usage statistics which over time
may evolve into a set of KPIs e.g.
• No. DataShare deposits / data collections
• No. Edinburgh Users registered with DMPonline
• No. University of Edinburgh DMPs produced via DMPonline
• No. people undertaking RDM training (formal / bespoke)
• DataStore allocations/data volume per school
Guidance on preservation of software as part of research process
DataStore De-allocation Policy - detailing responsibilities and storage costs for
‘orphaned data’ - pending approval by Steering Committee
• end of project, staff retiral, end of contract/leave university
38. Service Integrations
• DataShare is a customised DSpace instance with a selection of
OAI-PMH compliant DCMI metadata fields for data discovery
through Google and other search engines
• Records are harvested by Thomson-Reuters Data Citation Index
• SWORD API utilised for batch deposit of large and/or many files
remote computers (‘Push using http’)
• Internal batch ingest of many/large files to circumvent 2.1GB limit
web interface (‘Pull via command line interface’)
• Use of checksums to determine that delivered object mirrors deposited object
• Working with F1000Research to define a workflow for depositors to
credit for data as research output by publishing data articles -
http://f1000research.com/
• Published new list of data journals for our depositors
39. DSpace GITHUB plugin* - allows software to be archived from GitHub
(or similar) source code repository into DataShare, which can then be assigned a
DOI to facilitate citation - using the SWORD deposit protocol
DataSync - to allow sharing of data on DataStore:
• drop-box type functionality
• uses open source ‘ownCloud’ technology
• desktop and mobile machines synchronize files with the ownCloud server
• file updates are pushed between all devices connected to a user's account.
Research data deposit from RSpace Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) interface
into DataShare (and Datastore & Data Vault) using SWORD

Editor's Notes
25 years ago
disk storage - expensive
researchers interested in working with data came together to petition the PLU and the University’s Library – wanting a university-wide provision for files that were too large to be stored on individual computing accounts
Early holdings were research data from universities of edinburgh, glasgow, and strathclyde
Some context. The library is part of a converged Library, IT, and Learning Technology department called Information Services.
Division with Information services along with Applications , IT Infrastructure, Library and Collections, User Services Division, DCC
Primarily social sciences but not exclusively so, large scale government surveys (micro data), macro-economic time series data (country-level data), Elections studies, Geospatial data, financial datasets, population census data
Free on internet / subscription / through national data centres/archives / resource discovery portals
