The DMPTool is a free, online tool that helps researchers create data management plans required by funders like NSF. It guides researchers through the process, provides questions from funders, and allows institutions to add their local resources and guidance. The presentation reviewed the goals of the DMPTool, how it was created through a collaborative project, and how institutions can participate by enabling single sign-on login, customizing templates, writing a blog, and providing feedback.

This webinar will discuss the special needs of digital humanities researchers and help you learn how to talk them about their information management needs. Topics that will be covered: What is humanities data? What special considerations are involved in creating DMPs for humanities data? Where can you store humanities data? What will humanities funding agencies be looking for? What regulations apply to humanities data (e.g., data sharing, data management, data availability)? What librarians should know before meeting with a humanist; how humanists differ from other researchers in the way they think about their version of data.

This document discusses efforts by a research librarian at City University London to improve digital literacy support for researchers. The librarian conducted a questionnaire that informed the development of a Library Researcher Development Programme. A blog and case study resource were also created. Based on researcher feedback, workshops were held on topics like using social media and open access publishing. The librarian is now conducting further research to identify factors influencing researchers' digital literacy in order to guide future instruction. The conclusion emphasizes engaging researchers and using their work to enhance information literacy support through research-based practice.

The Digital Centers at Columbia University were established to support collaborative work across disciplines through the creation of specialized facilities in the libraries. The centers provide experts, resources, technology services and space to support digital scholarship. They collaborate through a working group and advisory board to facilitate communication, address common needs, and strategize services holistically. This includes collaboration on software selection, workshops, projects and budgets to best support the diverse needs of students, faculty and researchers at Columbia University.

Using the public online DataShare service to provide simple intuitive data curation function for the research community

This document discusses how libraries can leverage data from their collections to support new research and discovery. It outlines several initiatives that treat library collections as data, including the Library of Congress labs and a project exploring computationally-driven research. The document also discusses OCLC's work analyzing institutional repository data through its Repository Analytics and Metrics Portal (RAMP) and making data more interoperable through support of the IIIF standard for sharing images and metadata.

This document summarizes interviews with five librarians at research universities about how they enable users to conduct research with TEI-encoded texts. It discusses tools like the University of Virginia's Etext Center and MONK, as well as workshops and library guides on TEI and digital publishing. It also defines digital literacy as the awareness, attitude, and ability to appropriately use digital tools to identify, access, manage, and synthesize information to construct new knowledge and communicate with others.

The Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) is serving as a service hub for the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) pilot program. As part of this role, MWDL is expanding its services to include additional partner repositories, digitization projects, and training programs. The goals of the DPLA pilot program are to lay foundational infrastructure, empower local institutions, and inspire community engagement. MWDL is refining its service and funding models to ensure long-term sustainability of its expanded role providing access to digital collections across the region.

Rachel Frick, OCLC Executive Director of the OCLC Research Library Partnership, reviews some of the broad agenda items and recent publications related to the work of OCLC Research. Rachel is then joined for two presentations on specific research topics. First, Sharon Streams (OCLC Director of WebJunction) and Monika Sengul-Jones (OCLC Wikipedian-in-Residence) present on “Public Libraries and Wikipedia.” Next, Kenning Arlitsch (Dean, Montana State University Library) and Jeff Mixter (OCLC Senior Software Engineer) share their findings on “Accurate Institutional Repository Download Measurement using RAMP, the Repository Analytics and Metrics Portal.”
