The emergence of data intensive science and the establishment management mandates have motivated academic libraries to develop research services (RDS) for their faculty students. Here results two studies are reported: librarians' RDS practices in U.S. Canadian libraries, RDS-related library policies those or similar libraries. Results show that currently not frequently employed but many planning stages. Technical less common than informational RDS, performed more often students, directors...

Research data is an essential part of the scholarly record, and management research increasingly seen as important role for academic libraries. This article presents results a survey directors Association European Libraries (LIBER) member libraries to discover what types services (RDS) are being offered by planned future. Overall, found that library strongly agree on importance RDS. As was in earlier studies North America, more currently offering or planning offer consultative reference RDS...

<strong>Objectives</strong>: The primary objectives of this study are to gauge the various levels Research Data Service academic libraries provide based on demographic factors, gauging RDS growth since 2011, and what obstacles may prevent expansion or services. <strong>Methods</strong>: Survey institutions through stratified random sample ACRL library directors across U.S. Canada. Frequencies chi-square analysis were applied, with some responses grouped into broader categories for analysis....

Abstract Addressing global scientific challenges requires the widespread sharing of consistent and trustworthy research data. Identifying factors that influence data will help us understand limitations potential leverage points. We used two well-known theoretical frameworks, Theory Planned Behavior Technology Acceptance Model, to analyze three DataONE surveys published in 2011, 2015, 2020. These aimed identify individual, social, organizational influences on data-sharing behavior. In this...

Research funding bodies recognize the importance of infrastructure and services to organize preserve research data, academic libraries have been identified as locations in which base these data (RDS). include management planning, digital curation (selection, preservation, maintenance, archiving), metadata creation conversion. We report results an empirical investigation into RDS practices librarians US Canadian libraries, establishing a baseline engagement at this early stage widespread...

Community members create BRNs by progressively asserting various formal and informal relationships between bug reports (BRs). In one F/OSS repository under study, participants assert two (duplications dependencies) (like "see also"...

How users meet infrastructure is a key practical, methodological challenge for digital library design. This article presents research conducted by the Social Science Team of federally funded Digital Libraries Initiative (DLI) project at University Illinois. Data were collected from potential and actual DLI testbed—containing full text journal articles—through focus groups, interviews observations, usability testing, user registration transaction logging, surveys. Basic results on nature...

Publicly accessible bug report repositories maintained by free / open source development communities provide vast stores of data about distributed software problem management (SWPM). Qualitative analysis individual reports, texts that record community responses to reported problems, shows how this uses its SWPM process manage quality. We focus on the role one basic social process, negotiation, in SWPM. varieties and frequencies negotiation practices demonstrate instances different contexts...

Abstract This article reports the results of a study into use discrete journal‐article components, particularly tables and figures extracted from published scientific journal articles, their application to teaching research. Sixty participants were introduced asked perform searches in component prototype that presents individual as items returned search set. Multiple methods, including questionnaires, observations, structured diaries, used collect data. The are analyzed context previous...

Provenance data is a type of metadata that computer scientists argue can support trustworthy and reliable replication scientific results. From its origins in workflow systems database theory, with concurrent interest from the ecological informatics community, standard model (PROV) extensions for DataONE (ProvONE) have led to initial implementations several tools commonly used by (R, MATLAB) global federation repositories (DataONE). DataONE's ingest, storage, indexing retrieval provenance...

As data sharing has become a more familiar obligation for academic researchers, there been correlating increase in the roles that librarians play supporting open repositories and providing management consulting services. These are sponsored by governments, funding agencies, institutions, professional societies, scholarly publishers.

Abstract This paper describes how scientists utilize specific journal article components, the tables, figures, maps, photographs, and graphs contained in articles, to support both their teaching research. These findings are taken from a comprehensive investigation into scientists' satisfaction with use of prototype retrieval system that indexes tables figures culled scientific articles. Rather than focusing on seeking searching, this summarizes four ways which information they find obtained...

DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth) aims to ensure the preservation of and access multi-scale, multi-discipline, multi-national earth observation data enable advances in science education. is being designed built manage scientific across a range disciplines, including atmospheric, ecological, hydrological, oceanographic other sciences, all which are managing creating metadata at varying levels maturity complexity, utilizing dozens standards. This poster describes how PREMIS...

Abstract This paper discusses user needs for a system that indexes tables and figures culled from scientific journal articles. These findings are taken comprehensive investigation into scientists' satisfaction with use of retrieval prototype. Much previous research has examined the usability features digital libraries other online systems retrieve either full‐text articles, traditional article‐level abstracts, or both. In contrast, this examines users directly searching accessing discrete...
