Abstract Higher education institutions are continuing to develop their capacity for learning analytics (LA), which is a sociotechnical data‐mining and analytic practice. Institutions rarely inform students about LA practices, there exist significant privacy concerns. Without clear student voice in the design of LA, put themselves an ethical gray area. To help fill this gap practice add growing literature on students' perspectives, study reports findings from over 100 interviews with...

Reducing preventable readmissions among Medicare beneficiaries is an effective way to not only reduce the exorbitantly rising cost in healthcare but also as a measure improve quality of patient care. Many previous efforts reducing readmission rate patients have been very successful because ill-defined measures, improper data collection methods and lack strategies based on driven solutions.In this study, we analyzed for six major diseases including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart...

As research data management (RDM) has grown into an increasingly familiar service activity in academic libraries, there remains a knowledge gap for liaison and subject librarians attempting to take on these additional responsibilities. one option address this, the authors were contracted by ACRL create new full-day workshop targeting this specific audience. The result is RoadShow, Building Your Research Data Management Toolkit: Integrating RDM Liaison Work. Now its second year, RoadShow...

Universities are developing learning analytics initiatives that include academic library participation. Libraries rarely inform their students about projects or general data practices. Without a clear student voice in projects, libraries and librarians creating potential privacy complications. This study seeks to document students' thoughts on participation concerns. A survey was developed fielded at eight US higher education institutions, this article covers the findings from approximately...

Higher education data mining and analytics, like learning may improve experiences outcomes. However, such practices are rife with student privacy concerns other ethics issues. It is crucial that expectations preferences considered in the design of educational analytics. This study forefronts perspective by researching three unique futurized scenarios rooted real-life systems practices. Findings highlight acceptance analytics particular limitations, namely transparency about consent...

Data curation exists within a larger framework of laws and policies covering topics like copyright data retention. These obligations must be considered in order to properly care for as it is being created preserved.

While interest in research data management (RDM) services have grown, clarifying the path between traditional library responsibilities and RDM remains a challenge. literature has provided ideas about student-/researcher-focused information literacy (DIL) competencies, nothing yet brought these skill sets together to provide pathway for librarians engaging RDM. The Data Engagement Opportunities scaffold was developed strategic trajectory relating science skills, DIL stages of life cycle,...
