Presentation for the CUWL Annual Conference 2009. The UW Digital Collections Center's strategic plan includes a gradual transition from the existing technology platforms underlying Digital Collections and MINDS@UW to a single platform on which to re-establish existing services and build new ones. Peter will explain the reasons for the transition and what it means for UWDCC services to libraries and end-users.

Report summarizes results from Web survey and subsequent focus groups and interviews w/faculty participants.

The interviews revealed a broad diversity in asset content and format, a large number of disparate needs, and an inadequate funding base for many researchers. The study group proposes a one-year pilot project to address the most common, most urgent subset of these issues. Specific pilot pro ject activities would include partnership with between three and five campus communities in order to develop and maintain a network of distributed storage nodes, with mechanisms for au- tomated backup and archival support of data stored on them, access to storage capacity via multiple standardized protocols, and management interfaces allowing simple, flexible, researcher-controlled assignment of access management policies; and provision of consultation services to researchers attempting to preserve existing or new assets: assistance would focus on helping researchers locate existing cam- pus resources, determining appropriate metadata standards and resolving format compatibility issues, and helping to develop sustainable preservation workflows. These actions will address critical common needs of many research communities, pro- viding support that will enhance the quality and maintainability of research efforts, and alleviating the risk of losing a valuable part of the scholarly record.

This survey represents the first step of a larger assessment designed to explore faculty creation, discovery and use of digital resources in teaching and research across the UW System. It aims to gather relevant information from UW System teaching and research faculty that will inform further the second phase of this assessment. The second phase will consist of focus groups and personal interviews with selected faculty to further explore issues raised in the survey findings.

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:18:56 GMT http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1793/21443 Summary Report of the Scholarly Assets Management Initial Exploratory Group Simpson, Mike Cheetham, Jan Gorman, Peter C. Herr-Hoyman, Dirk Larson, Eric Salo, Dorothea Wolf, Alan DoIT's Academic Technology and the UW-Madison Library's Office of Scholarly Communication and Publishing conducted discussion group meetings with invited participants representing a broad spectrum of faculty and administrative interests, focusing on digital asset management in the context of evolving technology-driven forms of scholarship, the reassessment of traditional dichotomies between pedagogy and research, and rising tension between central and distributed IT. Participant feedback provided insight into several problem areas, highlighting that attempts by DoIT to assist digital resource management must take into account problems with current institutional focus and resource allocation; that the loss of the culture of curatorship in the transition to a digital scholarly record severely threatens the preservation of institutional memory; and that adoption of solutions depends upon the implementation of trusted, comprehensive, interfederated identity management and access control. To address these concerns, DoIT should promote emerging open access paradigms in publication and the open data movement in research, collaborating with campus partners to provide encouragement and education in order to promote the growth of the new culture of digital curatorship. Further, DoIT should support emerging cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional social networks, providing liaison functions and facilitating coordination between potential partners, discovering opportunities for collaboration, and providing resources to seed their growth. This activity should take place in partnership with distributed IT staff, developing solutions and services that directly address the needs of their disciplinary areas, and Involving them directly through shared decision-making and collaborative work. Developed solutions should emphasize integration and interoperability as primary characteristics. Finally, DoIT should adopt open, standards-based identity management and access control mechanisms that support interfederation of credentials and access control policies.
