Abstract

In early 2009, selected senior staff at a number of research institutions were invited by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) to attend Forums to discuss the issues surrounding the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research and to share their strategies around compliance. These issues included the governance arrangements, the technological and policy requirements, and the best way to reach research staff. This paper discusses the Code and its relevance to data management, the issues identified by ANDS and the strategies recommended.

Abstract

To guarantee the long-term viability of the institutional repository (IR), the IR must be made integral to units on campus beyond the library. Strategically, this requires expanding the range of stakeholders served by the IR and increasing the scope of content the IR collects, moving beyond post-prints to consider the entire continuum of scholarly content. With this approach, the scope and value of the IR transcend a limited administrative or library function to fundamentally change the role of the library on campus.

Abstract

Australian government funding and policy guidelines increasingly encourage researchers to deposit their research data in institutional or subject repositories, but there are significant technical and organisational practicalities involved in achieving this. In this paper, Monash University Library staff members with responsibility for repository development and research data management describe their work together to establish the Monash University ARROW Repository as a key part of the university’s overall program to improve research data management. Repository-related activities are discussed in the context of wider developments, both in technical infrastructure and in terms of professional development and outreach to researchers.

Abstract

With an increasing societal move towards making research data public, the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) is releasing a number of services to assist with this. The subject of this paper is the service called “Publish My Data”. It is not a centralised monolithic system, but rather a set of flexible services providing some key functions that enable organisations and individuals to more formally publish their data using as much of their own infrastructure as appropriate.

Abstract

From 2008-2010, the State Library of Victoria has implemented five enterprise-wide library systems as part of the SLV21 project planning framework. A considerable amount of time and effort has been put into working with data flow across these different systems to ensure that staff workflows and data use and re-use is properly managed. This paper will cover a range of data modelling and planning that has been necessary to work with each system. Some best practice methods are discussed and outcomes and recommendations put forward.

Abstract

Populating institutional repositories poses a significant challenge. This paper provides an assessment of awareness and advocacy techniques that have been used in established institutional repositories in Australia and internationally. In summary, a repository policy is essential. Mandates work better than simply recommending repository use. It helps to make depositing as easy as possible and sort out copyright, by providing staff to work with the academics. Contacting academics individually is more effective than printed publicity material. The repository is more useful to the academic if it relates to their regular workflow.

Abstract

This paper describes the evolution of the new Clinical Librarian role at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and how a website – ‘Evidence Direct’ – became central to that development. The facilities offered on the Evidence Direct website include asynchronous and synchronous communications, live access to Clinical Librarians worldwide, e-learning modules, access to an e-repository, blogs, wikis, and daily news (including RSS feeds), etc. The paper also goes on to describe how the Clinical Librarian role can have an impact upon the wider clinical governance scenario, contributing to the development of institution-wide guidelines and, in the case of RMH, to a new, major event – Evidence Week.

Abstract

“I can’t remember things before they happen.” “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,” the Queen remarked.

Repositories of open access scholarly papers are a well-established part of the information landscape, at least in policy terms, and their successful delivery will almost certainly feature somewhere on the agenda of most academic libraries. Repositories are of interest not just in their own right but as a microcosm of the wider library landscape – indicating how the world is changing and how libraries need to change in response. Drawing on a range of perspectives from political and social to technical, this presentation will attempt to answer the question: what do Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web tell us about the future of repositories and, by implication, about library services generally?

Abstract

Repositories are evolving in response to a growing understanding of institutional and research community data and object management needs. This paper (building on work already published in DLib, September, 2007) explores how one institution has responded to the need to provide management solutions that accommodate different object types, uses and users. It introduces three key concepts. The first is the curation continuum, which identifies a number of characteristics of data objects and the repositories that contain them. The second divides the overall repository environment based on these characteristics into three domains (research, collaboration and public), each with associated repository/data store environments. The third is the curation boundary, which separates each of the three domain types.

Abstract

In this paper, we examine a range of metadata-related issues facing the developers and maintainers of digital repositories in Australia. We discuss metadata developments in the areas of digital preservation, repository interoperability, and collection-level discovery services in the context of a range of innovative repository projects designed to improve metadata creation, management and sharing within the Australian higher education and research sector.
