From erussey at emory.edu Wed Apr 5 10:48:30 2017 From: erussey at emory.edu (Roke, Elizabeth Russey) Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 14:48:30 +0000 Subject: [Pasig-discuss] Software Preservation Network survey Message-ID: [Please excuse cross-posting] The Software Preservation Network (SPN) is an initiative to explore and establish partnerships, collaborations, and best practices for software preservation. The SPN Metadata Working Group is currently conducting a survey of institutions with digital preservation programs to gain insight into metadata practices for software and other digital objects. The results of this survey will be used to establish a baseline for metadata best practices for software. Please consider completing this very short survey about metadata practices in use at your institution. We are looking for responses both from institutions collecting software and those who have yet to begin this kind of work. The survey is available at: http://bit.ly/SPN-MD-Survey until April 28.

This datathon is part of a broader "Web Archiving Week," to be held in London between June 11th and 16th. You can find more details about the week here: http://netpreserve.org/general-assembly/2017/overview. Feel free to email with any questions. Regards, Matt ========================= Call for Participation: Archives Unleashed 4.0 Web Archive Datathon http://archivesunleashed.com The British Library June 11 ? 13, 2017 Travel grants will be available for US-based graduate students. Applications for all attendees are due 31 March 2017. Call for Participation This event is the fourth workshop in the Archives Unleashed series. Each event is a standalone datathon aimed at building the Web Archiving community and providing a forum for interdisciplinary collaboration. The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. Our series of datathons presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This event will bring together a small group of 35 ? 45 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to web archives, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language (such as but not limited to Python) is strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to continue to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. The event is sponsored by the British Library (lead sponsor), Rutgers University, University of Waterloo, the National Science Foundation and the International Internet Preservation Consortium. In addition, there will be a reception the first night and a dinner the second night, supported by funding from the NetLab at Aarhus University, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Rutgers University. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the datathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: ? The .gov web archive covering the American government domain ? The End of Term Web Archives (.gov/.mil), from 2008, 2012, and 2016 ? Social media collections from the 2016 archive ? Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection and other datasets to be announced Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Ian Milligan (i2millig at uwaterloo.ca) by 7 April 2017 with ?Archives Unleashed? in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the datathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 15 April 2017. We expect to be able to issue a limited number of travel grants available for US-based doctoral students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $1,000 USD in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. On behalf of the organizers, Matthew Weber (Rutgers University), Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo), Jimmy Lin (University of Waterloo), and Olga Holownia (British Library/IIPC). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Focusing on the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) as a mile-marker in a student?s research trajectory, it provides in-time advice to students and faculty about avoiding common digital loss scenarios for the ETD and all of its affiliated files. The ETD+ Toolkit provides free introductory training resources on crucial data curation and digital longevity techniques. It has been designed as a training series to help students and faculty identify and offset risks and threats to their digital research footprints. *About the Toolkit:* The ETD+ Toolkit is the result of a project ( https://educopia.org/research/grants/etdplus) generously funded by the Institute of Library and Museum Services. Educopia Institute led the creation of the Toolkit in partnership with the NDLTD, ProQuest, bepress, and 12 U.S. research libraries. *What it is:* An open set of six modules and evaluation instruments that prepare students to create, store, and maintain their research outputs on durable devices and in durable formats. Each is designed to stand alone; they may also be used as a series. *What each module includes:* Each module includes Learning Objectives, a one-page Handout, a Guidance Brief, a Slideshow with full presenter notes, and an evaluation Survey. Each module is released under a CC-BY license and all elements are openly editable to make reuse as easy as possible. *Who it is for:* Anyone may freely adopt and adapt this toolkit. We especially recommend its use by administrators, faculty, and librarians teaching students and by students seeking practical advice about digital content management. *Give us feedback (Please):* Like the modules? Hate them? Think they?re unique? Redundant? These materials have been produced under a grant-funded project, and we are requesting feedback that we can share with our funder and that we can use to improve the ETD+ Toolkit . Please help us to refine the workshops and report back to our funder about how and where they are being used!

The Toolkit will be of interest to a wide audience in digital preservation. You can access the Toolkit and download any components from here . The Toolkit is comprised of: * A User Guide; * Three Factsheets (Benefits, Costs, and Return on Investment); * Two Worksheets (the Archive Development Canvas, and the Benefits Summary for a Data Archive); * Four Case Studies from Social Science Data Archives (ADP in Slovenia, FSD in Finland, LiDA in Lithuania, and UKDS in the UK); * A Deliverable Report describing how the toolkit was developed. In addition, the Toolkit describes and links to a number of pre-existing external tools and relevant studies. The major use for the Toolkit will be supporting funding and business cases but elements are likely to be relevant in advocacy to other groups and in supporting broader operational tasks, or learning and teaching. The three factsheets on benefits, costs, and return on investment; and the Archive Development Canvas worksheet ( a variant of the Business Model Canvas adapted for non-profit archives) are likely to be of widest interest and relevance outside the social sciences. Some feedback on the draft Toolkit from attendees at our International Digital Curation Conference 2017 workshop earlier this year included: "This was one of the most relevant and important workshops I have ever attended in my 14 years of professional experience in this library profession. Since I am interacting with senior stakeholders (e.g. assistant vice-presidents, Deans, Chairs, & associate Deans etc.), cost-benefit and ROI are very important to the development of research data services." "The worksheets are really useful, and very relevant to be used at an institutional level." "Highly relevant and good content." The CESSDA SaW Project is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the agreement No.674939. The development of the Toolkit was led by Charles Beagrie Ltd, with support from the Slovenian Social Science Data Archive (ADP), the Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD), the Lithuanian Social Science Data Archive (LiDA), the University of Tartu in Estonia (UTARTU), and the UK Data Service (UKDS). The Toolkit was developed within the CESSDA SaW project, which aims to strengthen and widen the CESSDA network.

Thank you to those who have already responded! The Software Preservation Network (SPN) is an initiative to explore and establish partnerships, collaborations, and best practices for software preservation. The SPN Metadata Working Group is currently conducting a survey of institutions with digital preservation programs to gain insight into metadata practices for software and other digital objects. The results of this survey will be used to establish a baseline for metadata best practices for software. Please consider completing this very short survey about metadata practices in use at your institution. We are looking for responses both from institutions collecting software and those who have yet to begin this kind of work. The survey is available at: http://bit.ly/SPN-MD-Survey until April 28. You can follow our activities at http://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/working-groups/metadatastandards/ Thanks!
