U.S. Research Libraries leading the way in Support Services?

16 August, 2010 | in

A new report E-Science and Data Support Services: A Study of ARL Member Institutions from the U.S. Association of Research Libraries provides a snapshot portrait of institutions' services to support e-research and data curation. The report is published on the ARA website.

Business intelligence for research data curation?

15 July, 2010 | in Blogs

Gaining business intelligence from user activity data was the topic of a JISC workshop I attended this week – and a hot topic if the activity of JISC programme managers is anything to go by. I counted five, plus a large contingent of JISC service people, and of course Deputy Chair Professor David Baker who chaired this event.

Libaries of the Future event

I attended the JISC Libraries of the Future event last Thursday, and in the end quite enjoyed it. I was glad it was late starting, as I managed to get myself lost on the way from the station (RTFM, Chris!). Maybe I was too hot and bothered to pay the right kind of attention, but I’m afraid I found most of the presentations rather too bland for my taste.

Martin Lewis on University Libraries and data curation

9 December, 2008 | in Blogs

Martin Lewis opened the second day of the International Digital Curation Conference with a provocative and amusing keynote on the possible roles of libraries in curating data. It was very early, with his presentation [large PPT] starting at 8:40 am, and the audience after the conference dinner in the splendid environs of Edinburgh Castle was unsurprisingly thin. However, absentees missed an entertaining and thought-provoking start to the day.

IDCC

The 6th International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) took place on 6–8 December 2010 in Chicago. Its theme was ‘Participation & Practice: Growing the curation community through the data decade’. Check out the programme for links to the slides and posters presented at the conference, or catch up with what people have said about it in the event Netvibes page. Last year the conference took place in Bristol, UK, 5-7 December 2011.
