These workshops are a new addition to this year?s summit and provide an opportunity to build skills that will help you jumpstart research data efforts at your institution or take your existing program to the next level! See below for workshop descriptions and more information about RDAP14. *Building Capabilities for Sustainable Research Data Management Practices* Friday, March 28, 8:00am-12:00pm Kevin Crowston & Jian Qin School of Information Studies, Syracuse University As more organizations invest in Research Data Management (RDM), it has become increasingly important for administrators, researchers, and managers to be able to evaluate RDM process for sustainability, efficiency, and effectiveness, which requires a baseline for comparison. The goal of this workshop is to raise the awareness of process management and assessment for RDM and to learn how to apply the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for RDM for the purpose of process assessment. As a tool to increase the reliability of RDM, since 2011 we have been developing a CMM for RDM by gathering evidence from literature and empirical observations and identifying and clustering key RDM practices. The current draft CMM for RDM includes five specific RDM practice areas: 1) Data management in general; 2) Data acquisition, processing and quality assurance; 3) Data description and representation; 4) Data dissemination; and 5) Repository services and preservation. The CMM for RDM framework will provide guidelines that are much needed in data policy making, personnel training, and performance assessment. *Learning to Teach, Teach for Learning: Instructional Practices for Data Services* Friday, March 28, 1:00pm-5:00pm Lisa Hinchliffe University Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Data services specialists are increasingly called upon to provide instructional sessions for users and colleagues. This workshop provides pragmatic approaches to developing and delivering instruction using proven and efficient strategies. The workshop will particularly draw on Understanding by Design, the Experiential Learning Cycle, and Classroom Assessment Techniques frameworks. Clarify learning outcomes, implement engaging teaching techniques, and document evidence of your learners learning! *Register for Workshops Here: * https://www.asis.org/Conferences/RDAP14/rdap14regform.php *RDAP14 Important Dates* November 25, 2013 Panel Presentations Submissions Due December 16, 2013 Interactive Posters and Lightning Talks Submissions Due February 14, 2014 Early Bird RegistrationEnds March 26-28, 2014 RDAP14 Conference and Workshops View previous RDAP presentations and posters on our Slidesharesite.

Web Science embraces the study of the Web as a vast universal information network of people and communities. As such, Web Science includes the study of social networks whose work, expression, and play take place on the Web. The social sciences and computational sciences meet in Web Science and complement one another: Studying human behavior and social interaction contributes to our understanding of the Web, while Web data is transforming how social science is conducted. The Web presents us with a great opportunity as well as an obligation: If we are to ensure the Web benefits humanity we must do our best to understand it. Call for Papers The Web Science conference is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate computer and information sciences, communication, linguistics, sociology, psychology, economics, law, political science, philosophy, digital humanities, and other disciplines in pursuit of an understanding of the Web. This conference is unique in the manner in which it brings these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue, and we invite papers from all the above disciplines, and in particular those that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Following the success of WebSci'09 in Athens, WebSci'10 in Raleigh, WebSci'11 in Koblenz, WebSci 12 in Evanston, and WebSci13 in Paris, for the 2014 conference we are seeking papers and posters that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Analysis of human behavior using social media, mobile devices, and online communities * Methodological challenges of analyzing Web-based large-scale social interaction * Data-mining and network analysis of the Web and human communities on the Web * Detailed studies of micro-level processes and interactions on the Web * Collective intelligence, collaborative production, and social computing * Theories and methods for computational social science on the Web * Studies of public health and health-related behavior on the Web * The architecture and philosophy of the Web * The intersection of design and human interaction on the Web * Economics and social innovation on the Web * Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons * Personal data, trust, and privacy * Web and social media research ethics * Studies of Linked Data, the Cloud, and digital eco-systems * Big data and the study of the Web * Web access, literacy, and development * Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web * People-driven Web technologies, including crowd-sourcing, open data, and new interfaces * Digital humanities * Arts & culture on the Web or engaging audiences using Web resources * Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives * New research questions and thought-provoking ideas Submission Web Science is necessarily a very selective single track conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we provide three different submission formats: full papers, short papers, and posters. For all types of submissions, inclusion in the ACM DL proceedings will be by default, but not mandatory (opt-out via EasyChair). All accepted research papers (full and short papers) will be presented during the single-track conference. All accepted posters will be given a spot in the single-track lightning talk session, and room to present their papers during a dedicated poster session. Full research papers (5 to 10 pages, ACM double column, 20 mins presentation including Q&A) Full research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers should present substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Short research papers (up to 5 pages, ACM double column, 15 mins presentation including Q&A) Short research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published. Research papers can present preliminary theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. Full and short paper submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (WebSci archive format at *http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates* ). Posters (up to 6 pages, ACM abstract template, lightning talk + poster presentation) Extended abstracts for posters, which should be in English, can be up to 6 pages, and should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG abstract template (extended abstract format at *https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pl130rtd134fxu6/hiyzXgWwTs* ). Other creative submission formats (flexible formats) Other types of creative submissions are also encouraged, and the exact format and style of presentation are open. Examples might include artistic performances or installations, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, or other creative formats. For these submissions, the proposers should make clear both what they propose to do, and any special requirements they would need to successfully do it (in terms of space, time, technology, etc.) Instructions for all types of submissions will be posted on the WebSci14 conference website soon. Review The Web Science program committee consists of a program committee that covers all relevant areas of Web Science. Each submission will be refereed by three PC members and one short meta review written by a Co-PC chair,to cover both the research background of each submission as well as the necessary interdisciplinary aspects. (Optional) Archival Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library All accepted papers and posters will by default appear in the Web Science 2014 Conference Proceedings and can also be made available through the ACM Digital Library, in the same length and format of the submission unless indicated otherwise (those wishing not to be indexed and archived can opt out of the proceedings).

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that today the New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum site is live at http://library.umassmed.edu/necdmc. The New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum offers openly available materials that librarians can use to teach research data management best practices to students in the sciences, health sciences and engineering fields, at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The materials in the curriculum are openly available, with lecture notes and slide presentations that librarians teaching RDM can customize for their particular audiences. The curriculum also has a database of real life research cases that can be integrated into the curriculum to address discipline specific data management topics. The New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum (NECDMC) project has been led by the Lamar Soutter Library at the University of Massachusetts Medical School with funding from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine New England Region. The Lamar Soutter Library developed the Frameworks for a Data Management Curriculum (See http://library.umassmed.edu/data_management_frameworks.pdf) with Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2011. Over the past year the Soutter Library has partnered with librarians from Tufts University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Northeastern, and the Marine Biological Laboratory and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to fully develop the curriculum's lecture content, readings, activities, and slide presentations. Some libraries will be piloting the curriculum at their institutions and conducting evaluations with students of the learning modules. If you are teaching or plan to teach RDM, we invite you to pilot the NECDMC. If you are interested in being a pilot partner, please contact Donna Kafel at donna.kafel at umassmed.edu Best regards, Elaine Martin, DA, PI, Editor-in-Chief Andrew Creamer, M Ed, MSLIS, NECDMC Project Coordinator Donna Kafel, RN, MLIS, NECDMC Project Coordinator Lamar Soutter Library University of Massachusetts Medical School 55 Lake Ave. North Worcester, MA 01655 _______________________________________________ Rdap mailing list Rdap at mail.asis.org http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/rdap ACRL Science & Technology Section Discussion List Join, change your subscription, or unsubscribe: email: "Unsubscribe" to sts-l-request at ala.org, OR http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/sts-l Archives: http://lists.ala.org/wws/arc/sts-l -- Moriana L.

In-Reply-To: <528EA692.6080204@stanford.edu> References: <528EA692.6080204@stanford.edu> Message-ID: Excuse cross-posting ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linda Yamamoto Date: Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:34 PM Subject: [STS-L] Anyone want tech reports in bulk? To: "eldnet-l at u.washington.edu" Cc: "sts-l at ala.org" , sla-dst at sla.lyris.net Hi, As our library is moving to a new (and smaller) location, we are no longer adding to our (mostly) CS tech report collection which has been sent to off-site storage. However, we still have a large number of reports from a variety of sources. I'd like to know if there's any interest out there in taking these reports for your collections, or if you know of anyone who would be interested. Unfortunately, I don't have a list or an estimate of the number of boxes involved. A sample list of the organizations/institutions that we used to collect from can be found at < http://lib.stanford.edu/mathematics-statistics-library/online-technical- report-organizations>, although the reports we have aren't necessarily online. We have a short timeframe for distributing these, so let me know of your interest soon. Otherwise they will be recycled.

These issues include, but are not limited to, accessibility, integration, discoverability, reuse, sustainability, perceived versus real value and reproducibility. Opportunities include, but are not limited to, analyzing such data and information in new ways to achieve significant societal benefit. Entrants are expected to describe one or more of the following: Novel ideas Tools Processes Models Outcomes using research data and information.

That working group has completed its work and today announced the release of a Draft Declaration of Data Citation Principles for public comment. The draft can be found at http://www.force11.org/datacitation. The public comment period will run through the end of this December, at which point feedback will be incorporated and a released version of the declaration generated and promulgated widely. Public endorsement of the principles will be sought at that time. I invite you all to comment on these principles over the next few weeks.
