The incorporation of data sharing into the research lifecycle is an important part modern scholarly debate. In this study, DataONE Usability and Assessment working group addresses two primary goals: To examine current state reuse perceptions practices among scientists as they compare to 2009/2010 baseline differences in across age groups, geographic regions, subject disciplines. We distributed surveys a multinational sample scientific researchers at different time periods (October 2009 July...

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...

In this paper, we report the results of a study examining 78 Research and Data Lifecycle (RDLC) models located in review literature. Through synthesis-analysis nominal group technique, investigated RDLC from point view their disciplinary focus, use cases, model creators, as well specific stages shapes. Our revealed that majority focus for was generic, science, or multi-disciplinary. Models originating social sciences humanities are less common. The cases varied wide spectrum, with total 34...

In order to better understand the current state of data management education in multiple fields science, this study surveyed scientists, including information about their practices, at what levels they are teaching management, which topics covering, and barriers experience these topics. We found that a handful scientists undergraduate, graduate, other types courses, as well outside classroom settings. Commonly taught included quality control, protecting data, planning. However, few...

ABSTRACT As management of research data becomes increasingly important to scholars and academic institutions, libraries can play a major role by offering services (RDS). This poster presents the results survey Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche‐Association European Research Libraries (LIBER) member library directors find out what types RDS their are currently they plan offer in future. The found that while most these or planning at least some RDS, consultative reference‐type...

Abstract Although international studies have shown an increasing use of information and communication technology ( ICT ) amongst dental students, there are no published specific to New Zealand NZ ). The aim this research was identify device ownership academic utilisation patterns including preferences perceptions, barriers use. All currently enrolled students (322) were invited complete a 15‐item questionnaire. Data statistically analysed in SPSS version 20.0. Qualitative data using general...

ABSTRACT Sharing and reuse of scientific data, which can enhance the transparency reproducibility research lead to creation new knowledge from existing is both a growing scholarly communication practice an expanding area interest in information science. However, much literature date has focused on data practices scientists working academic environments, with less done understanding other types such as government or industry. This poster presents results study worldwide survey were analyzed...

In 2010, the Technical Library at Sandia National Laboratories conducted a six-month pilot study to evaluate various electronic reader devices and their potential for use within environment. Five of most popular dedicated e-reader models on market, as well Apple's iPad, were evaluated compatibility with existing collections, largely composed scientific technical documents in PDF format, perceived usability by researchers. This article describes including recommendations suggested areas...

ABSTRACT The convergence of scientific disciplines poses many challenges for data integration and management. As part ongoing research into the role in new emerging communities, we examined perspective synthesis center directors, professionals with expertise supporting cross‐domain using existing to solve complex environmental challenges. Responses give insight roles centers play development communities.

Interest in first-generation students (FGS) continues to rise, but literature on this group of focuses primarily undergraduate students. The programs, resources, and services that are provided by universities again focus Many have graduate there is little or no support for (FGGS) understanding their information needs. In the field library science (LIS), a gap research pertaining an opportunity learn more about group, strengths, why they need support. article, authors discuss issues around...

Information professionals integrate a variety of technologies and tools into their work practices are often introduced to these while they students in library information science programs. This commentary examines recent trends, barriers, potential approaches teaching technology for LIS graduate students. Here we draw on our expertise several topics, including an introductory survey course students, programming database management, intersectionality technology. Rooted reflection perspectives...

ABSTRACT This alternative event uses siphonophorae as a metaphor for examining infrastructure in information work. Infrastructure studies are deeply rooted the field of science: Susan Leigh Star's work forms cornerstone and ways which science views how people operate within systems around them (Star, 1999; Larkin, 2013). Representing broad meta‐discipline, ASIS&T community has decades research publications on infrastructure, because topic is so complicated rhizomatic, we still lack clear...

Abstract The COVID‐19 global pandemic necessitated sudden, large scale transformations in higher education, as many institutions and programs were forced to leverage their existing technological resources expertise manage a rapid shift delivering education an online‐only environment. In the short term, required creativity, quick thinking, cases, adaptations that less than ideal. wake of semester, conversation has now shifted how best sustained transformation face these new realities. This,...

For the last decade, academic libraries have talked with each other and potential partners about their roles in helping to manage research data plans expand or initiate services (RDS). Libraries capacity provide these services, but range maturity of from vary considerably. In summer 2019, our team surveyed a sample all sizes who are members Association College Research (ACRL) find out current RDS for future. This study is follow-up surveys this same group 2012 2015. Our findings include...

ABSTRACT Understanding the factors that lead groups of professionals in healthcare organizations to adopt or reject new innovations for communication and information sharing is vital those seeking support needs these communities. This poster presents a model study diverse impact interactive innovation adoption research‐intensive environments. It further details method testing by examining two different physicians training at an academic medical center, one developed virtual between providers...

Open science data benefit society by facilitating convergence across domains that are examining the same scientific problem. While cross-disciplinary sharing and reuse is essential to research done convergent communities, so far little known about role play in how these communities interact. An understanding of collaborations can help us identify meet needs emerging which may predict next challenges faced science. This paper represents an exploratory study one community, environmental health...

ABSTRACT This study reports the results of a 2016 online survey on perceptions and uses ASIS&T publications. The 190 respondents represented 26 countries 5 continents, with 77% participants coming from academia rather than practitioners. Among emerging themes were calls for wider scope research information science to be reflected in publications (including JASIS&T Proceedings ), ongoing challenges role Bulletin as bridge between practice. provides insights into scholarly publishing...
