The need for data management services is among the top needs consistently expressed by members of the Texas Digital Library (TDL), a consortium of higher education institutions throughout the state. In response, the TDL has developed a new consortial data repository service with guidance from its 22 members through a series of cross-institutional working groups. This presentation will be an overview of the process toward developing a consortial research data repository service and plans for outreach and implementation.Item A Consortial Model for Research Data Services Using Dataverse(2016-06-14) Park, Kristi; Steans, RyanThe Texas Research Data Repository is a multi-institutional project of the Texas Digital Library (TDL) to develop a statewide data repository for Texas universities. The TDL is developing the data repository service with guidance from its 22 members through a series of cross-institutional working groups. It has sought to respect the spirit of "loose federation" that has guided the TDL's deployment of services over its history, honoring the need for local control over workflows while creating a meaningful shared service. In this spirit, TDL is implementing a pilot repository, using open source Dataverse, that will be collectively managed by representatives at TDL member libraries, marrying the benefits of a single repository (i.e., operation at scale) with local institutional control of associated services. Following a pilot in spring 2016, the group will assess the service and make recommendations to refine it prior to a production launch. In this presentation, members of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group will discuss the repository's system architecture and its unique hybrid service design, which leverages the structure of "distributed control" inherent in Dataverse. The group will also reflect on lessons gleaned from the pilot and subsequent assessment.Item December 2015 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2015-12-16) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, LauraItem Digital Preservation Steps with Archivematica: A Cross-Departmental Approach(Texas Digital Library, 2021-05-24) Goodley, Lauren; Price, Amanda; Mazzei, Erin; Long, Jason; Kennedy, Laura; Waugh, Laura; Critchley, Nicole; Peters, ToddItem Diving into Data: Implementing a Data Repository at the Texas Digital Library(2016-05-26) Thompson, Santi; Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Herbert, Bruce; Quigley, ElizabethThe need for Data Management services is one of two large‐scale needs consistently expressed by members of the Texas Digital Library (TDL), a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state. In particular, members are seeking a repository that offers researchers a platform for publishing, citing, reusing, and preserving research data. In response to this need, TDL has formed a series of working groups aimed at building a statewide data repository. This panel session presentation will document the work of two TDL working groups focused on the storage and accessibility of research data, as well as connect their efforts to a growing number of research data repositories worldwide: The first group, the TDL Data Management Working Group, selected a platform to act as the statewide repository. Panel presenters will outline the group’s methodology, including the development of researcher use cases and system evaluation criteria and the testing of Dataverse, an open source platform for research data sharing and management developed by Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS). They will also highlight the results of these efforts and discuss why the group recommended that TDL and its members implement the Dataverse repository. Secondly, presenters will share the current activities of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group, which is charged with launching an instance of Dataverse as the statewide data repository for Texas. Updates will focus on the work of four subgroups (Budget and Business Model, Policy and Governance, Technical Configuration, and Workflow and Outreach) as well as the results and lessons learned from an initial pilot launch of the software in Spring 2016. Finally, a representative of the Dataverse project from Harvard IQSS will situate the TDL Dataverse project within a wider community of Dataverse implementations, both at Harvard and elsewhere across the globe. As more institutions consider launching a repository for research data, our panel presentation offers important lessons that others may value. Attendees of our session will learn more about the assessment of data repositories, including potential methods and criteria for evaluating systems, as well as the challenges and benefits to building a collaborative, consortial data repository.Item Diving into Data: Implementing a Data Repository at the Texas Digital Library(ASIS&T, 2016-05-04) Thompson, SantiThis poster documents the progress of two Texas Digital Library (TDL) working groups focused on the storage and accessibility of research data. The first group, the TDL Data Management Working Group, selected a platform to act as the statewide repository. To do this, the group created a set of use cases to formulate evaluation criteria for testing potential systems. After testing Dataverse, the team made a recommendation to move forward with its implementation. A second group, the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group, is currently charged with launching an instance of the Dataverse open source platform as the statewide data repository for Texas. As more institutions consider developing a repository for research data, our poster presentation offers a case study on the assessment of data repositories, including potential methods and criteria for evaluating systems, as well as the challenges and benefits to building a collaborative, consortial data repository. The Problem The need for Data Management services is one of two large‐scale needs consistently expressed by members of the TDL, a consortium of academic libraries throughout the state. In particular, members are seeking a repository that offers researchers a platform for publishing, citing, reusing, and preserving research data. In response to this need, TDL has formed a series of working groups aimed at building a statewide data repository and developing services to fulfill researcher needs in the state.Item DSpace 5 Release Webinar [presentation](2016-01-20) Elkins, Susan; Luttrell, Robert; Mitchell, Alexandra; McElfresh, Laura; Lindsey, Nerissa; Yang, Le; Steans, Ryan; Park, Kristi; Waugh, LauraItem February 2016 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2016-02-17) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; Thompson, SantiItem Hi! I’m a TDR User(Texas Digital Library, 2023-05-16) Chan-Park, Christina; Sare, Laura; Waugh, Laura; Weber, Millicent; Zhou, Xuan"Come meet Jaime, Chris, Lee, Ali, and Sami! They are typical users of the Texas Data Repository (TDR) based on responses from a 2022 user survey. The TDR uses the Dataverse platform for publishing and archiving datasets (and other data products) created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions and is hosted by the Texas Digital Library. There are currently nine participating member institutions. Jaime is a typical downloader. Chris is a typical TDR user who has created a Dataverse collection and uploaded a dataset. Lee is a faculty TDR user, Ali is a non-faculty researcher, and Sami is a graduate researcher. Find out how each of these users learned about the TDR, why they use it, and how they use it. They think it’s important to share data and want you to know that it is easy to use the TDR."Item How Digital Libraries Can Create a Culture of Open Access on Campus(2013-03-21) Keralis, Spencer; Helge, Kris; Waugh, Laura; Stark, Shannon; Najmi, Anjum; University of North TexasAs Open Access has flourished into an International movement that is shaping the progressive landscape of scholarly communication, a growing number of institutions are implementing policy changes aimed at the higher institutional levels. Policy implementation, however, is only the one step in creating a culture of Open Access on a campus. Digital Libraries have led the movement by instituting Institutional Repositories for scholarly works and research data, but it has become increasingly evident that academic institutions must implement strategies for raising the awareness of Open Access and promoting the involvement of their academic scholars and students. It is no longer a question of whether or not to promote the open accessibility of these works among our academic community, but how best to do so. This roundtable discussion will offer ideas, strategies, and thoughtful conversations on how to equip a campus with the resources it needs to promote and assist researchers in adopting Open Access. This panel will feature faculty; a graduate student; scholarly communications, institutional repository, and strategic projects librarians to provide a balanced perspective of Open Access implementation at one Texas institution.Item January 2016 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2016-01-20) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, LauraItem July 2016 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2016-07-20) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, LauraItem June 2016 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2016-06-15) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, LauraItem Let's talk Vireo: An overview of the Vireo community and development(2016-02-25) Steans, Ryan; Larrison, Stephanie; Waugh, LauraPresentation for the 2016 Texas Electronic Theses and Dissertations (TxETD) Association/US ETD Association Region 3 Annual Conference.
