*Workshop Descriptions for the 2014 Research Data Access and Preservation
Summit (RDAP14) Have Been Announced!*



Please join us on Friday, March 28th, the final day of RDAP14 (
http://www.asis.org/rdap/), for two exciting, hands-on workshops aimed at
helping to develop, assess, and improve services for research data. 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!
