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 February 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-02-15) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; Mumma, Courtney; Larrison, StephanieItem January 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-01-18) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; Washington, AnneItem July 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-07-19) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; DeForest, Lea; Mumma, Courtney; Adair, AshleyItem June 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-06-21) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; Mumma, Courtney; Buckner, SeanItem March 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-03-15) Park, Kristi; Steans, Ryan; Waugh, Laura; Mumma, CourtneyItem May 2017 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2017-05-17) Park, Kristi; Waugh, Laura; Steans, Ryan; Mumma, CourtneyItem Open Journal Systems Training(2017-06-08) Waugh, LauraThis training focuses on the essential concepts and knowledge you need to get started using Open Journal Systems (OJS) for online publishing.Item Open Journal Systems: Quick Submit Plugin Tutorial(2017-03-28) Waugh, LauraItem TDL DSpace Education Working Group Training Needs Survey: Final Report(2017-05-24) Barba, Shelley; Dabrowski, Anna J.; Elkins, Susan; Lindsey, Nerissa; Lyon, Colleen; McElfresh, Laura Kane; Mitchell, Alexandra; Waugh, Laura; Wills, FaedraThe Texas Digital Library (TDL) DSpace Education Working Group convened in Spring 2016 with the objective of assessing, updating, and standardizing DSpace training offered to member institutions by TDL. In order to understand the type of training that repository managers need, the Working Group developed an exploratory survey. The "DSpace Training Needs Survey" was launched during the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL) in May 2016, and remained open through June 2016. This report outlines the survey objectives, methodology, results, and recommendations for future implementation of DSpace training at the TDL.Item Texas Digital Library Dataverse Implementation Working Group Final Report(Texas Digital Library, 2016-09-30) Thompson, Santi; Herbert, Bruce; Parks, Kristi; Donald, Jeremy; Rodgers, Denyse; Buckner, Sean; Kaspar, Wendi; Smith, Cecilia; Starcher, Christopher; Peters, Todd; Uzwyshyn, Ray; Steans, Ryan; Lauland, Nick; Waugh, LauraSince September 2015, the Texas Digital Library (TDL) Dataverse Implementation Working Group (DIWG) has worked with Texas Digital Library staff to pilot and implement a consortial repository for small to medium-sized research data, as well as to develop policies and workflow documentation associated with a data repository service. Comprised of 14 librarians and technical staff across six universities and the TDL, the DIWG's charge was to "pilot test, assess, and launch a consortial repository for research data archiving and management," addressing costs and possible funding models, technical configuration of the repository, workflows and outreach, policy and governance, and metadata needs. The DIWG built upon the work of a predecessor group - the TDL Data Management Working Group - which evaluated multiple available data management platforms and recommended the use of Dataverse as a consortial service. The result of the group's work is the Texas Data Repository (https://data.tdl.org), a platform for publishing and archiving datasets and other data products created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions. The repository is built in Dataverse and is intended for sharing small- to medium-sized datasets from any discipline.
