‘Data Curation in the Research Library’

Please join us on Tuesday, September 30, at noon, in Mann Assembly Room, first floor, Paterno Library, for a brown bag talk by Sarah Pickle, Social Sciences Data Curation Fellow.

Description: Scholars are increasingly pressured—and sometimes required—by grant makers, publishers, and their peers to share publicly the data that they collect over the course of their research. Available data both make it possible to re-test research results and can contribute substantially to the work of other scholars. But in order for those data to be accessible and intelligible to others, they must be managed and curated with accessibility and intelligibility in mind. This talk will introduce key principles of data curation and suggest how a data curation service can both feed and advance the mission of a research library.

Presenter Bio: Pickle’s position in Publishing and Curation Services is part of the CLIR/DLF postdoctoral fellowship program. Prior to coming to Penn State, she was an analyst at Ithaka S+R, where she published on the sustainability of digital collections. She holds a PhD in comparative literature from Cornell University and can be reached at pickle@psu.edu.

Penn State’s repository launches new interface and features

By Jennifer Montminy

Continual improvement is simply a way of working for the ScholarSphere team. Since the University repository service was launched in the 2012, the team has continuously added new features, incorporated user feedback and worked to make the service easier and more effective for Penn State’s researchers.

ScholarSphere is a collaboration between the University Libraries and Penn State IT and gives all Penn State researchers—faculty, staff, and students—free access to a digital repository where they can preserve, manage, and share their scholarly work.

When uploading files, users are given the opportunity to keep their files private or share them with other Penn State users or the world. When users decide to share their work, the service provides them with persistent URLs for all of the files they upload, making it the perfect tool for researchers needing to link to their data when applying for a research grant or submitting an article for publication.

The repository also makes it easier for researchers from across campus or across the country to collaborate on work. When shared publically, work becomes searchable online, meaning that it is more accessible to other researchers investigating similar topics. It allows for collaboration through discovery and feedback, as well as through group work for Penn State users (for example the Penn State School of Nursing uses ScholarSphere to make collections of their data sets).

Additionally, the service is always adding new features that have been requested by users, meaning that if you try to do something on ScholarSphere one time and can’t, the chances are that the next time you visit the site, you just might be able to do that very thing. Needles to say, in many ways ScholarSphere has been an invaluable resource for the Penn State community.

However, on September 10, it got even better. Continue reading

Tips for circulation staff

By Peg Tromm, information resources and services supervisor-manager
Robert E. Eiche Library, Penn State Altoona

Occasionally a patron will attempt to checkout library materials, but staff cannot find a user record to correspond to his or her ID. As a circulation staff member, my first nonverbal response is, “How does this happen?” Then I remember the annual purge.

An annual purge of our community borrowers who have not checked out material during the past year is conducted in SirsiDynix WorkFlows each summer. The WorkFlows profiles of these community borrowers included in the purge are ALUMNI, EXTERNDSL, HIGHSCHOOL, RESIDENTOT, RESIDENTPA, SUMMERPROG, TEMP, UNENROLLED, and VISITFAC. Retirees who have not checked out materials in the past four years are also deleted.

So, what are your options? First, ask patrons if they have borrowed materials during the past year. They may not be sure, but you can assume that if they don’t remember, it’s a good bet they haven’t. Your next step is to register the borrower using the PSU ID he or she used in the past to borrow library materials. Remember, after students graduate, their PSU ID should be used to create the user record. Select the RESIDENTPA profile. The ALUMNI profile is used only for those who present an Alumni Association membership card when registering.

For more information about registering patrons, refer to Training Bulletin #6 on the Access Services Training Bulletins site located here.

Penn State inaugurates Judy Chicago Dialogue Portal

Artist, author, educator, and activist Judy Chicago has one more milestone to add to her celebratory year as she turned 75 this year. Penn State, which acquired her art education archives in 2011, is pleased to announce the creation of the Judy Chicago Dialogue Portal as a new facet of the artist’s online art education archive in The Eberly Family Special Collections Library and used across disciplines. In fact, the archive is so widely used that it has never been in storage and the original archive boxes have had to be replaced.

The Judy Chicago Dialogue Portal was born from Penn State’s 2014 campus-wide, semester-long celebration of Chicago’s archive that concluded with a weekend-long symposium at which Chicago delivered a timely, call-to-action lecture based on her new book “Institutional Time: A Critique of Studio Art Education.”

“My goal was to spark a long-overdue dialogue about the state of studio art education,” says Chicago who developed the first feminist art program at California State University, Fresno in the 1970s, and has taught at Cal-Arts, Indiana University, Bloomington; Duke; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green; and Vanderbilt. “With the creation of the portal, we can now initiate an international online conversation about the current state of studio art education, particularly in relation to issues of content, gender, and diversity. I believe that art education has to be radically improved in order to meet the needs of all students and that Penn State can be a leader in effectuating this change.”

The Judy Chicago Dialogue Portal will launch on September 15, beginning with the first of four sections. The first will be “An Invitation from Judy Chicago,” which will feature the video of Chicago’s Penn State lecture, discussion questions formulated by the artist, a video compilation of her teaching, and a multimedia presentation by Dr. Karen Keifer-Boyd analyzing Chicago’s pedagogy. Subsequently academics, art professionals, and artists will have the opportunity to engage in an online dialogue “Live with Judy Chicago” about the state of studio art education and its future, which will be hosted on the portal on October 25 at 11:00 AM EST. Registration will open on the portal on September 15. Read the full story on Penn State News

Knapp will be a key resource for College of Communications students

Jeffrey A. Knapp, associate librarian, has been appointed the Foster Communications Librarian in Penn State’s University Libraries and will begin his new responsibilities in mid-September. Knapp is currently the coordinator of instruction at the Robert E. Eiche Library, Penn State Altoona, where he also has collections responsibilities for communications, business and the social sciences. Prior to joining the Libraries at Penn State, Knapp spent 13 years in private industry, many of those as a marketing consultant. Knapp’s office will be located in the Schreyer Business Library, floor 3 Paterno Library.

As the Foster Librarian, Knapp will assess the informational needs of the College of Communications, coordinate the acquisition of additional information resources and provide instruction and reference services to students. Barbara I. Dewey, dean of University Libraries and Scholarly Communications notes, “We are thrilled to have Jeff Knapp appointed as the Foster Librarian. He will provide strong leadership and support in building collaboration between the College of Communications and the University Libraries.”

In 1997 with a generous contribution, Penn State graduates Lawrence Foster, ’48, and his wife, Ellen Foster, ’49, created endowed positions in the University Libraries—the Larry and Ellen Foster Communications Librarian—and also in the College of Communications—the Foster Professor of Communications.

Mr. Foster was a Penn State Distinguished Alumnus and served as the first chair of the Libraries Development Advisory Board. He passed away in October 2013. Mrs. Foster continues to be very strong supporter and friend of the Libraries.

“We’re also pleased that Jeff Knapp will be working with our faculty and students in the classroom and on their research projects. The Foster Librarian is a key resource for our students,” explains Dean Marie Hardin, College of Communications. “He will get an enthusiastic reception, and we’re excited about the expertise and energy he’ll bring to our work.”

Submitted by Paige Andrew

Lee Ann Nolan, Paige Andrew and former head of the Donald W. Hamer Map Collection, Marcy Bidney, recently had a peer-reviewed article published in the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries.

“The Digital Atlas Dilemma: Outlining the Challenges for Libraries” discusses in detail several unique challenges that digital atlases, compared to their physical counterparts, present to librarians and libraries. Nolan, Andrew and Bidney state in the abstract “We describe the issues that arise from digital atlases and how they impact both the user and the librarian, and we provide a call to arms for anyone charged with collecting, describing, utilizing, storing, or preserving these evolving new types of atlases.”

The article appears in the volume 10, number 2 (May-August 2014) issue and was published in July. Lee Ann Nolan is the information resources and services support specialist at the Fletcher L. Byrom Earth and Mineral Sciences Library and Paige Andrew is the maps cataloging librarian in the Cataloging and Metadata Services Department.
