But in an era of resource scarcity for public institutions, how are libraries succeeding in maintaining these essential commitments? Drawing on more than a decade of experience in collaborative library work, this talk will explore and celebrate the power of collective community-based efforts to transform libraries in the digital age. Successful community collaborations -- including the Texas Digital Library’s consortial research data repository and the implementation of multi-institutional networks for preservation of digital collections -- continue to expand the realm of the possible beyond individual institutional efforts and amplify those efforts to make invaluable digital collections more accessible, usable, and secure.Item Getting Started with the Texas Data Repository and Data Competencies [presentation](2017-02-17) Park, Kristi; Thompson, Santi; Williamson, Peace OssomItem Inside-Out Impact of the Texas Data Repository(Texas Digital Library, 2018-06-14) Dabrowski, Anna J.; Mumma, Courtney; Trelogan, JessicaWith eleven institutional members, the Texas Data Repository (TDR) has more than doubled in size in its first year. Last year, Courtney Mumma, the TDR Service Manager, spoke to the Dataverse Community Meeting about the creation of the TDR Steering Committee (TDR SC) and their roadmap going forward. In her role as Services Manager, Courtney functions as a member of the TDR SC as well as a liaison with the greater Dataverse developer and implementer communities. She will address how information gathered from the TDR SC meetings as well as support requests from TDR users and librarian liaisons inside Texas has resulted in external enhancements and changes in the Dataverse application as well as links to multiple data repository registries. The TDR SC has also formed two working groups so far, the Training and Outreach WG and the Assessment WG, to improve the TDR for its administrators and users. This presentation will describe efforts by those working groups to make an impact in Texas, and beyond, by sharing resources amongst TDR institutions, improving outreach, gathering metrics about use and institutional requirements, and creating new open source reporting tools that could serve the broader Dataverse Community.Item January 2018 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2018-01-17) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaItem July 2018 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2018-07-18) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaItem Launching the Texas Data Repository: How to Implement TDR at Your Institution [presentation](2016-10-06) Parks, Kristi; Thompson, SantiThe Texas Data Repository (TDR), a new service offered by the Texas Digital Library, is a platform for publishing and archiving datasets and other data products created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions. The repository, which is built in the open source application Dataverse, will enable TDL member libraries to provide research data management services to their campus communities that will: enable compliance with federal mandates for data archiving and sharing, increase the scholarly impacts of datasets through assignment of persistent online identifiers and citations, and facilitate limited sharing within research groups, data versioning, and long-term preservation. In this webinar, Kristi Park (Director of the TDL) and Santi Thompson (Head of Digital Repository Services at the University of Houston Libraries and chair of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group) will give an overview of the repository service, requirements for TDL member participation, and plans for the future of the service.Item Learning By Example: Connecting Data Competencies with the Texas Data Repository [presentation](2017-03-09) Park, Kristi; Thompson, SantiItem March 2018 Texas Digital Library Forum(Texas Digital Lirary, 2018-03-21) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaPresentation for the March 2018 Texas Digital Library (TDL) Forum.

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 hosted by the Texas Digital Library. There are currently nine participating member institutions. The purpose of the survey is to gauge overall user experience with the TDR in order to identify areas for improvement and/or future integrations with a focus on how the platform is used for research. The survey was administered to over 1000 registered users of the TDR including researchers from member institutions as well as any researchers that created accounts to deposit or download data. In addition to general questions about using the TDR, users were asked about their experience creating collections, depositing data, and downloading data. In this presentation, we report on the findings of this study.Item TCDL 2020 Texas Data Repository Steering Committee User Group Meeting(Texas Digital Library, 2020-05-27) Mumma, Courtney; Watts, John; Chan-Park, Christina; Morganti, Dianna; Waugh, Laura; Sare, Laura; McEniry, Matt; Boehm, ReidItem The Texas Data Repository(Texas Digital Library, 2018-06-07) Mumma, CourtneyItem Texas Data Repository: A 2 Year Update (STEM Librarians South Slides)(2019) Chan-Park, Christina; Morganti, DiannaThe Texas Data Repository (TDR) is a consortial effort to assist academic libraries in sharing and preserving the research data produced at their universities. The TDR’s Assessment working group has produced their 2-year review. Dianna Morganti will share information about the TDR; Christina Chan-Park will share the 2-year assessment statistics; and both will discuss plans for the future.Item Texas Data Repository: A Collaboration Case Study(Texas Digital Library, 2018-09-20) Park, Kristi; Mumma, Courtney; DeForest, LeaThe Texas Data Repository is a platform for publishing and archiving datasets (and other data products) created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions. The repository (https://dataverse.tdl.org/) is built in an open-source application called Dataverse, developed and used by Harvard University. The repository is hosted by the Texas Digital Library, a consortium of academic libraries in Texas with a proven history of providing shared technology services that support secure, reliable access to digital collections of research and scholarship. Texas Digital Library hosts the Texas Data Repository centrally as a single instance Dataverse, an open source platform and community run out of Harvard University’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science. The repository is managed collectively and collaboratively by a steering committee made up of library liaisons appointed by each participating institution. The Texas Data Repository Steering Committee members, and the institutions they represent, work together to develop priorities for the repository. Each of the individuals involved and their institutions have benefited from having a resource available to them built within the library and research data management community, by professionals aligned with their values, at a fraction of the cost that would be necessary for separate institutional solutions. Ten academic institutions across Texas currently subscribe to the service, providing a place for their faculty and researchers on campus a place to deposit and share or publish their datasets. Depending on local policy, researchers can create their own collections or dataverses, deposit their data and supplementary information about their data, and either share it with trusted colleagues or publish it, getting themselves a DOI for the dataset so that others can use and cite it reliably. Currently the repository has more than 200 dataverse and approximately 650 datasets, comprising more than 10,000 individual files. Looking to deepen collaboration both within and outside of Texas, Texas Digital Library has joined the Global Dataverse Community Consortium. Formed in 2018, the Global Dataverse Community Consortium organizes existing community efforts such as Texas Digital Library’s Texas Data Repository at an international level. In our role as charter members, Texas Digital Library will assist in governance, planning, and creation of the Consortium’s mission and vision statements. The global consortium will also act as a collaborative hub for institutions like TDL to leverage economies of scale in support of Dataverse repositories around the world. That means members of the Texas Data Repository will play a key role in driving a global approach to support data repositories around the world.
