Using a Faculty Recruitment Strategy to Train Research Staff and Students to Develop Data Management Plans

Kevin Read

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

The University Library and Research Office collaborated to offer a 3-part research data management (RDM) training program for faculty and their research staff and students during the summer of 2024. The training program consisted of an introductory training session in RDM, a workshop where registrants built data management plans (DMPs), and an assignment where registrants submitted a finalized [...]


Using the Starfish Storage Management Tool to Automate Research Data Management

Deb McCaffrey, Suhail Ghafoor, Ian Schaeffer

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Starfish software is a type of unstructured data management tool designed for PB size storage systems. It creates a database of files with metadata to allow for easier searching and management. The tool is built with storage administrators in mind, so the default metadata collected are things like file size, file owner, etc. At Arizona State University, it was originally purchased to manage the [...]


Development of an Open, Automated Workflow for Gaining Bibliometric Insights into University Research Data Publishing

Bryan Gee

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Interest in research data has been rapidly growing across the research ecosystem, from growing funder mandates to evolving best practices around data management. Concurrently, there is also increased interest in using bibliometrics to gain insights into the outputs of research institutions and to inform decision-making around service provision. However, tracking data publications is significantly [...]


Taking the World by Storm: Navigating the Complex Terrain of Providing AI Training

Margie Sheppard, Katie Pierce Farrier

Poster   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

AI is taking the world by storm! Researchers, students, faculty, and the public are using it in all kinds of ways to up their game in research, data science and more. But for AI to work for all users, increasing productivity, helping them avoid risk and potential ramifications, institutions need to provide training and guidance on using AI tools. Such training often falls into the laps of [...]


Assessing the Effects of Updated Metadata Workflows in an Institutional Repository

Ali Krzton

Poster   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

The Auburn University Scholarly Repository is a locally-hosted generalist DSpace repository. DOIs have been registered through DataCite for new deposits, including datasets, since 2020. In 2024, AU Libraries personnel phased out the automated workflow in which repository metadata was crosswalked and pushed via script to DataCite. A new workflow which involved manual creation of metadata for each [...]


Data Discovery Meets Experiential Learning: The Core10 Project

Aabha Pandit, Arjay Romanowski, Heather Charlotte Owen

Poster   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Assistance in finding data is a quintessential question most Data Services departments encounter on a regular basis. Unsatisfied with our resources to aid with this quandary, our department decided to pilot a project we labeled Core10. As the project took shape, it became evident that it would be beneficial as an experiential learning opportunity for our library’s summer internship program. A [...]


Building a Data Services Program and Increasing Data Skills Resiliency with the DSCPE Capstone Program

Marianne Stowell Bracke, Stacy L Winchester

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

The Data Services Continuing Professional Education (DSCPE) program is a valuable opportunity that is a structured and immersive program for early and mid-career librarians. It provides a cohort-based approach to learning, providing synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities, and a capstone project paired with a mentor in the field. It builds resilience in the academic data library [...]


OpenRefine in Action: Creating a New Tool-Based Primer for the Data Curation Network

Heather Charlotte Owen, Aditi Thite, Peyton Tvrdy

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

In April of 2023, the Data Curation Network (DCN) held a workshop about the CURATE(D) Workflow to better teach participants about data curation, cleaning, and sharing. At this workshop, the organizers encouraged participants to form working groups to create “Primers” for various topics. At this meeting, the OpenRefine Working Group was formed to create a primer for the application, OpenRefine. [...]


What is "Curation" in a Self-Mediated, Open Repository?: A Case Study of OSF

Gretchen Gueguen

Presentation   2025-03-13   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Digital Curation is vital to the long term usability of content and the reproducibility and validity of research claims. A recent study of researchers at academic institutions by Jonston et.al in PLOS One reported: Curation actions most frequently reported include checking for duplicate files, reviewing documentation, reviewing metadata, minting persistent identifiers, and checking for [...]


Building Services for the Long Haul with Princeton Data Commons

Hector Correa, Kate Lynch

Presentation   2025-03-12   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

In this presentation we’ll talk about how we are building the Princeton Data Commons: a university suite of services to support research data at Princeton. We will discuss how we are building software to support researcher communities but software does not exist in the vacuum and therefore we will also talk about the context in which the software is developed, deployed, and maintained. Building [...]


Building Resilient Research Data Services: A Collaborative Approach at a Less-Resourced University

Nick Szydlowski, Yuqi He, Carrie Hwang

Lightning Talk   2025-03-12   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

San José State University (SJSU) is a teaching-focused institution with ambitious plans to increase research output and grant activity. As our faculty’s research footprint grows, the demand for research data services has grown with it. This lightning talk will focus on the work undertaken within SJSU’s University Library to create resilient, campus-wide structures in support of the research data [...]


Strengthening Data Services Through Capacity Building and Collaboration

Negeen Aghassibake, Liz Bedford, Jennifer Muilenburg

Presentation   2025-03-12   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

The University of Washington Libraries is piloting a new model for data services that focuses on staff capacity-building and flexible service coordination. With limited dedicated staffing, the Libraries has traditionally taken a concierge approach to data services, connecting users with experts in the wider University or with individuals at the Libraries who have chosen to develop their own [...]


The Library as a Catalyst for Research Integrity

Allie Tatarian

Lightning Talk   2025-03-12   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Research integrity education often reaches only those required to receive it, creating gaps in understanding across the broader research community. By leveraging virtual learning opportunities, our university library has transformed Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training into an initiative that transcends traditional institutional constraints. Our library-led workshop series serves as a [...]


Developing a Dataset Catalog for the University of Alabama at Birmingham

Claire Warner

Lightning Talk   2025-03-12   Research Data  RDAP Summit 2025

Many academic libraries are compiling dataset catalogs to make the research data produced by their institutions more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. These catalogs use a variety of approaches to gather metadata for dataset records and may be hosted on one of several platforms. Our approach is to use software tools, such as APIs, to locate relevant datasets and harvest their [...]
