Leadership in libraries: tying Library and Information Science research to pr...Hazel Hall
Professor Hazel Hall gave a presentation on tying Library and Information Science (LIS) research to practice. She discussed barriers that prevent research-led practice, such as research not being published or accessible. She proposed addressing these issues by involving practitioners in research design and execution, and disseminating research outputs through various channels. She advised LIS practitioners to participate in research projects and develop critical skills in evaluating research. Leaders were urged to support research as part of staff roles and act as role models. The overall aim was to derive value from investments in LIS research.
The University of Edinburgh has undertaken several initiatives to improve research data management practices among researchers:
- Projects funded by JISC aimed to enhance the university's data library services and support researchers in sharing and managing their data. This included establishing an institutional data repository.
- Engaging with researchers through a data audit found that storage was often insufficient and data was not well managed or documented. This highlighted the need to support researchers in better data management practices.
- Current efforts include developing research data storage and management policies, providing training through the Research Data MANTRA project, and recommending ways to address researchers' data storage and documentation needs. The goal is to help researchers share, publish and enable reuse of research data.

Preserving the Inputs and Outputs of Scholarshiptsbbbu
Tim Babbitt discusses the changing context of research and scholarship due to digitization and the internet. The inputs and outputs of research are increasingly digital and complex, including data, code, presentations, and more. ProQuest has a history of preserving scholarship through microfilming and is exploring how to preserve the full range of digital scholarly outputs and their linkages in a sustainable way. Key questions include balancing new and old preservation methods and moving beyond preserving individual objects to also preserving networks and linkages between scholarly works.
This document discusses the importance of good research data and data curation. It notes that data is valuable and can enable more research, teaching and learning if properly managed and preserved. The document outlines reasons to care about data curation, such as enabling data reuse, accountability and meeting legal requirements. It also discusses challenges that occur without good research data management practices, and the benefits that can arise from proper data curation, such as enabling more impact from research.
This document summarizes the work of the Research Information Network (RIN) Working Group on Information Handling. The Working Group aims to promote better information handling skills among researchers. It is undertaking several projects, including mapping data management skills to an information literacy framework, examining supervisors' roles in developing these skills in PhD students, and establishing regional networks. The Working Group involves various partners and seeks to disseminate results through conferences, workshops and its website.

Institutional repositories are digital collections that capture and preserve the intellectual output of academic institutions. They contain scholarly works and research in various formats and stages of academic work. The goal is typically open access to research. Major systems for developing institutional repositories include DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, and Digital Commons. Key considerations for starting an institutional repository include getting faculty buy-in, submission policies, intellectual property issues, and interoperability through standards like OAI-PMH. Ensuring ongoing contributions and use remains a challenge.

This document discusses research data management at University of the Arts London. It defines research data as information used by researchers for a specific research purpose or agenda. Research data should be managed and retained to allow for verification, reuse, and compliance with funder requirements. The KAPTUR project aims to develop best practices for managing research data in the visual arts over 18 months. There is a recognized need for librarians to expand their skills in advising on data management, curation, preservation, and supporting open access and funder requirements to better assist researchers.
This document discusses collaborative development of queries across distributed biological databases published in RDF format. It describes three strategies for querying linked data: 1) naive retrieval and local caching, 2) using a semantic search engine, and 3) distributed querying by sending queries to endpoints and aggregating results. The Bio2RDF system uses the third approach to query over 15 billion triples across multiple datasets. Queries, providers, and data have an RDF representation, allowing others to reuse, modify, and redistribute query definitions collaboratively.
Blurring boundaries to spark motivation: collaborative approaches to teaching...megan.fitzgibbons
Presentation at STLHE conference, 2012.
In this interactive workshop, first, a view of undergraduate students’ information behaviour will be offered, as informed by a librarian’s perspective. The connections between the research process and intrinsic motivation will be discussed, with the aim of exploring best practices for sparking research motivation. In other words: how can students get interested in research, and how does motivation affect their success? Next, key solutions will be discussed, vis-à-vis holistic collaborations between professors and librarians in teaching information skills and designing assignments that motivate students to engage in research tasks.
This document provides an overview and syllabus for a course on Introduction to Information Retrieval and Applications. The course will be taught on Thursdays from 9:10-12:00am in classroom R1322. It will cover topics such as indexing, vector space models, evaluation methods, relevance feedback, probabilistic models and applications like text classification, document clustering and web search. Students will complete programming exercises and a term project, and the course will include homework, a midterm exam and a final project.
This document discusses several studies on user engagement in research data curation. It finds that institutional repositories for data were developed without input from researchers, leading to systems that did not meet researchers' needs. Barriers to open data sharing included concerns over commercial use and maintaining ownership. Successful data curation requires understanding disciplinary differences and developing trusted relationships with researchers through dialogue early in projects.

Presentation used as scene setting for 2 days worth of discussion around library, archive & museum convergence, metadata workflows and single search at the University of Calgary.
These slides were presented as part of a webinar to provide RLG Partnership institutions with the opportunity to learn more about the current work taking place in OCLC Research and discover new ways to become more engaged in the RLG Partnership.
Topics covered include: Green ILL Practices & Deaccessioning Decision Tree; Cloud Library; In-copyright Print Books; Evaluating Rights & Risk for Unpublished Materials;
Special Collections Survey; The Library's Role in Research Assessment; Data Curation; and Social Metadata. A preview of upcoming events, reports and webinars was also included.
The document discusses how shared print repositories are transforming library services by allowing libraries to externalize collection management activities. It finds that approximately 20% of NYU's holdings are duplicated in HathiTrust and 10% are duplicated in HathiTrust and a single print repository. This suggests opportunities for NYU to further externalize print management by relying more on these shared collections. For shared repositories to realize their full potential, the document argues they will need to increase horizontal integration, develop governance models, and clearly communicate their value in order to accelerate libraries' transition away from solely managing their own print collections.
A presentation focusing on the data analysis OCLC Research performed on 900K museum records, plus next steps for the nine project museums who now have the capacity to share standards-based records.
The document discusses collaboration between libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs). It provides examples of successful collaborations including the New York Art Consortium of several major art libraries in New York City. It identifies key factors that enable collaboration, such as having an inspiring vision, incentives for staff, and resources to support collaborative projects. The document advocates for LAMs to move beyond just cooperation to more deeply collaborative partnerships.

19. Data Curation Project
While big science often has its data curation needs met outside the library, the
library needs to be prepared to respond to the need for local dataset
management, to look beyond derivative data, to include the source data, and to
help researchers manage the entire data lifecycle.
