  • Proposal for the creation of a Web-based heterogeneous distributed archive for psychological Data
    Behavior Research Methods Instruments & Computers, 2004
    Co-Authors: Steven M. Boker, Charles R. Crowell
    Abstract:

    This report presents a proposal to create archives of Data from psychological research and associated metaData Web pages and link them into a heterogeneous distributed archive on the World-Wide Web. Several specific recommendations are made concerning some of the issues faced by the Data Archivist and Data archive user hoping to use the Web. In particular, a recommendation is made to create a publicly accessible Web page for each Data set and place keywords, experimental methods, Data descriptions, pointers to journal articles, and pointers to other archive Web pages pertinent to this Data set on this metaData Web page . If the Archivist includes a special keyword (PsychologyDataArchive) on the metaData Web page, Web-based search engines will automatically be able to subset all participating Data archives for indexing and semantic analysis. The secondary Data analyst can then include the word Psychology DataArchive in his Web search and will be able to effectively find relevant participating Web Data archives.

  • The Data Archivist: the Archivist’s role in Data management and preservation
    2016
    Co-Authors: Sarah Allain
    Abstract:

    Sarah Allain, Systems Archivist Sarah Romkey, Archivematica Program Manager Research Data management is undoubtedly a hot topic in digital librarianship today. Increasingly, academic institutions are relying on services within the library to help researchers build Data management plans (DMPs) and manage their Data for the long term. Data repositories, like institutional repositories, are often managed by the library.  While the role of the librarian in research Data management is becoming increasingly clear, the role of the Archivist is still emerging. Research Data, like all digital assets, has digital preservation needs and challenges, but digital preservation has been described by some as a “gap” in current Data management practices. Exacerbating the gap is that research Data is sometimes created by domain-specific tools and in proprietary formats. In order to fill this gap, some librarians and Archivists have been looking to digital preservation systems such as Archivematica to integrate with their Data management platforms.  This presentation will report on three approaches in the Archivematica user community to preserve research Data: An integration between Archivematica and the Data management platform Dataverse, which is being tested by the Ontario Council of University Libraries. Secondly, Archivists at the Universities of Hull and York in the United Kingdom have been developing Archivematica features to better integrate with new and existing research Data management systems. Finally, Compute Canada has piloted Archivematica as an integrated service with its Globus Portal, a Data transfer service.

  • Incorporating Data literacy into undergraduate information literacy programs in the social sciences
    Reference Services Review, 2007
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Stephenson, Patti Schifter Caravello
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the confluence of Data literacy with information literacy in an experimental one‐unit course taught in the UCLA Department of Sociology, and present the literature on, rationale for, and future of integrating these interrelated literacies into social science courses.Design/methodology/approach – The course was co‐taught twice by a librarian and a Data Archivist using a syllabus and assignments that reflect sociological research problems and tools and information literacy competencies in the social sciences.Findings – The need for information and Data skills in sociology is well‐established, and their integration into a sociology course (rather than in a stand‐alone information literacy course) would produce more opportunities for students to apply what they learn and for the instructors to assess learning in the context of doing sociology coursework.Research limitations/implications – The class sizes were too small for full‐scale assessment an...
