In response to the OSTP mandate and to the stated needs of its member libraries, the Texas Digital Library began to plan for a consortially developed and run data management service that would meet the requirements of the mandate and position libraries to play a crucial role in on-going conversations about data management at their universities. A working group of representative TDL member schools and the Texas Advanced Computing Center began meeting in Fall 2013 to create a cross-institutional pilot project to ingest and make data accessible on the web. The goals of this pilot are: To create services that meet emerging federal requirements for data and research publication for federally-funded research projects. To design and integrate a system for curating and managing data that support novel interdisciplinary research. To design services that will support the dissemination of research to the public in ways that are useful and effective in meeting the goals of the member institutions. The group is working with environmental science research groups identified at Texas A&M University to ingest data in a variety of formats, develop and apply metadata to maximize discovery, measure access and usage, and track costs. The project will build on existing TDL technologies and resources, including hosted DSpace institutional repositories, DuraCloud, and large-scale storage at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. It will deploy these resources strategically to develop a working service and identify areas of need for future development. The pilot project will be completed in the fall of 2014. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and the group’s assumptions in taking it on, our progress to date, and information about the challenges faced thus far.Item Corralling the Independent Spirit of Texas Libraries: Re-envisioning a Collaborative Statewide Digital Library(2013-11) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Hammons, Laura; Greene, Mira; Peterson-Lugo, Billie; Potvin, Sarah; Rooks, Dana; Rushing, AmyItem December 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-12-18) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanItem December 2014 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2014-12-17) Hanken-Kurtz, DebraItem DuraCloud™ and Flexible Digital Preservation at the Texas Digital Librar(2015-04-27) Steans, Ryan; Krumholz, Gad; Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Texas Digital LibraryThe Texas Digital Library is now offering preservation service via DuraCloud™, an open source technology developed by DuraSpace. In 2014, the membership of the TDL formed a Working Group to explore the software and define best practices, given the diverse approaches to the issue of preservation. In January 2015 we first announced the service and made the service available in Spring of 2015. In this presentation, the Texas Digital Library will describe how our implementation of the DuraCloud™ software provides multiple upload options for preservationists through a selection of interfaces and tools intended to serve a variety of audiences, from librarians at their desktop to server administrators working at the command line. We will describe how DuraCloud™@TDL fits in to varying environments as a primary or third party preservation solution, and we will also define the array of options for durable, reliable storage infrastructure for preservationists in the care of the unique collections of their institutions. Looking forward, TDL will discuss the issues regarding preservation management and challenges we are addressing with users such as format management and metadata management within DuraCloud™@TDL. TDL will present planned next steps for additional services such as integration of DuraCloud™@TDL with DSpace, using DuraCloud™ as a platform for utilization of the Digital Preservation Network, and the potential for using DuraCloud™ to serve content to the public. We will be joined by representatives of DuraSpace who will present information about the ongoing development of DuraCloud™as well as future plans for DuraCloud features/functionality and integrations. In addition, TDL and DuraSpace will discuss how TDL community activities tie to the broader trends of DuraCloud customer use and the joint efforts between the two organizations to create resources and best practices around preserving content in a cloud environment. Lastly, ways in which TDL and others can assist development as part of the DuraCloud user-base and the overall DuraSpace community will be highlighted.Item February 2014 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2014-02-19) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanItem The Future of Digital Libraries in Texas(2013-06-18) Hanken-Kurtz, DebraItem July 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-07-16) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Steans, Ryan; Park, KristiItem July 2014 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2014-07-16) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, KristiItem June 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-06-26) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, KristiItem June 2014 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2014-06-18) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanItem March 2014 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2014-03-19) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Steans, Ryan; Park, KristiItem MythBusters: Debunking misconceptions, half truths, and outright lies about OA Scholarly Publishing(2014-10-21) Park, Kristi; Hanken-Kurtz, DebraItem November 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-11-20) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanItem OA Scholarly Publishing with the Texas Digital Library(2013-10-24) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, KristiItem October 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-10-16) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanItem September 2013 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2013-09-18) Hanken-Kurtz, Debra; Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan
