    Reviewing Data Management Plans: Practical Experience for New Service Providers
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-10-12) Winchester, Stacy ; Sheffield, Megan ; Exner, Nina ; Parham, Susan Wells
    Many academic librarians begin their work in research data support by offering reviews of Data Management Plans (DMPs, also called Data Management and Sharing Plans/DMSPs), which are required components of many grant proposals. After a researcher drafts a DMP, they may want someone to review it, assess its fit with best practices, and give feedback. Reviewing DMPs means evaluating and offering advice for improvement. But how does a library get started with reviewing DMPs? This workshop is tailored for new data librarians and subject librarians starting in data, who want to provide a DMP or DMSP support toolbox. The panel portion will compare real-world practices on how to provide DMP reviews for existing drafts created by researchers in different institutional settings. Next, presenters will compare different approaches, such as contrasting the DART Rubric (“DMPs as A Research Tool”) for in-depth National Science Foundation (NSF) reviews versus the Caltech NSF checklist for fast reviews; discussing how FASEB’s NIH DMSP contest rubric differs from the DART rubric; and summarizing how funder notes in DMPTool can be used for reviewing DMPs from various funders. This discussion will help new DMP evaluators think about how the process might change, and not change, for different funders’ DMPs. Finally, everyone will have guided practice in using the DART rubric to evaluate a simple research proposal and sketch out feedback for improvements in the DMP. At the end, the whole class will be better prepared to evaluate DMPs and offer researcher feedback on how to improve their Plan to make their research data FAIR.

    Customizing DSpace: Developing Private Communities & Collections for Future Repository Integrations
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-06) Parham, Susan Wells ; Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Helms, Chris
    In this presentation, practitioners from the Georgia Tech Library will describe our collaboration with DSpace vendor Atmire to deploy code customization allowing greater granularity over access permissions to our unique digital content, and to merge two locally hosted DSpace instances. This collaboration arose from efforts at Georgia Tech to bridge the traditionally separate worlds of the institutional repository and archival digital collections by employing a loosely integrated ecosystem of DSpace, ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, and Vireo. A first step in this effort was to merge two locally hosted DSpace instances used for quite different purposes: our open access institutional repository and a dark archive of both unprocessed born-digital materials and preservation copies of digitized files. Because DSpace is inherently designed for providing open access to an institution’s intellectual output, we required code customization that would allow greater control over access to the restricted content migrated from our dark archive. We collaborated with Atmire to develop a phased deployment process that would allow Georgia Tech to maintain our local technical institutional knowledge and administrative control while employing Atmire’s specialized skill set in DSpace code customization and support. We will share lessons learned about the costs and benefits of this more complex deployment strategy.

    Building a Collaborative Curation Framework: Working Towards Sustainable Digital Stewardship
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-11-02) Parham, Susan Wells ; Hagenmaier, Wendy ; Blewer, Ashley
    This presentation will discuss lessons learned from an academic research library’s endeavor to reconsider curation work holistically – across siloed content types, processes, systems, and departments. Georgia Tech team members will explore insights from our efforts working with Artefactual Systems to reimagine and sustain digital stewardship work across existing organizational silos.
