If you didn't see the National Academy's hearing on opening up federally funded research, John King gave the final summary of the data side of things: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/DBASSE/DBASSE_083053 (I have no idea how to give a direct link to the talk, as Safari on Mac seems to stop on Jillian Wallis, even though there were lots of speakers after her) -Joe Begin forwarded message: > From: "Byrne, Tim" > Date: September 9, 2013 2:35:24 PM EDT > To: PAMNET at LISTSERV.ND.EDU > Subject: [PAMNET] Open Science Workshop - Nov. 12 - Cross posted > Reply-To: "Byrne, Tim" > > Save the Date - November 12, 2013 > > Open Science: Driving Forces and Practical Realities > > A One-Day Workshop Co-sponsored by CENDI and NFAIS > Hosted by FEDLINK at the Library of Congress > > The Mumford Room, Library of Congress, 101 Independence Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20540 > Tuesday, November 12, 2013 * 9:00 am - 4:30 pm * > > WHO SHOULD ATTEND? > > This one-day workshop is a must for anyone involved in managing the flow of scientific and scholarly communication. The Open Science movement has the potential to dramatically change that flow as well as the roles of all involved if the key emerging issues can be resolved. Open government, open data, and open access are all necessary but insufficient movements to make open science a reality. This workshop will explore the technical, financial, political, and social/cultural forces that are driving the movement; the key issues that may impact your organization - issues such as creator/author rights, attribution, information sharing and re-use, machine access and interoperability, preservation of the record of science, etc.; and the policies and tools that are being created to make open science a reality. Mark your calendar now to reserve the date. Registration will open September 6, 2013, to accommodate those who need to pay before the new fiscal year begins. Seating is limited so register early! > > THE FOCUS OF THE DAY > > > John King, Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Michigan, will open the day with an overview of the Open Science movement, why it started, how far it has come, and the practical issues that must be resolved to make it a reality. This will be followed by a session on the policies behind open science, which will include both government and researcher perspectives, and will explore the challenges any policy must address in order to catalyze a wholesale shift toward more open science at the community level. > > > > After lunch (which will be provided), speakers from the academic and publishing communities (Drexel University, Harvard University, and Elsevier), will discuss some of the tools that have been created to support collaborative research, tools such as open notebooks, Authorea (manuscript creation software), and Mendeley. In addition, there will be a case-study panel that will highlight three open science initiatives - the Materials Genome project, Galaxy Zoo, and Mapping the Human Brain. The speakers will discuss why the projects were started and the challenges and practical issues that have had to be addressed to bring them to fruition. > > > > The day will close with a futuristic assessment of how the open science movement may evolve and what roadblocks must be overcome for its ultimate success. > > > > The final speakers are now being confirmed and these will be announced shortly. The day will be full of interesting presentations and discussions.

The $5000 fellowship, established in 2013, is to be used for research-related purposes regarding the history of information science to increase the underlying knowledgebase in this area and enhance the current and future practice of the information professions, particularly health sciences librarianship. Health sciences librarians and information scientists, health professionals, researchers, educators, and administrators are eligible. Applicants must have a master's or doctor's degree or be enrolled in a program leading to such a degree and demonstrate a commitment to the health sciences. The fellowship is not designed to support research for a doctoral dissertation or master?s thesis. The award is not restricted to disbursement in a single year and funding may be disbursed over a period of up to two years depending on the needs of the research fellow. The award may be used to supplement or extend other awards, including other private or government-supported fellowships, but is not contingent on receiving other awards.
