1 Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship: Head in the Clouds but Feet on the Floor* Holly Shipp Buchanan, EdD, FMLA, AHIP AAHSL/AAMC, Nov. 5, 2011

2 Rip Van Winkle Awakening to a perfect storm The Rip Van Winkle Project Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 2

3 In Libraries there is a shift from a document-centric view of scholarship to a data-centric view of scholarship -S. Choudury, C & RL News, April 2010 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 3

4 Empirical research Theoretical research 4 th Paradigm Computational research (simulation & modeling) E-Science: data intensive science that is collaborative, networked, and datadriven Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 4

5 Many Questions What s the difference between e- Science, cyberinfrastructure, e-research? What does the digital research cycle look like? What is digital data stewardship? What is data curation? What are other academic and health sciences libraries doing? Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 5

6 Must Readings NSF: Long-lived Digital Data Collections, 2005 AAMC: Challenges and Opportunities for New Collaborative Science Models, 2010 ARL: To Stand the Test of Time, 2006 E-Science and Data Support Services, 2010 OCLC: A Slice of Research Life, 2010 Marcum & George, eds: Data Deluge, 2010 Science, Feb. 11, 2011 Alvaro, et al.: E-Science Librarianship: Field Undefined. Issues in Sci and Techn Librarianship, Summer 2011 Heidorn: The emerging role of libraries in data curation and e-science, J Libr Admin, 2011 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 6

7 Why Plan? Address o Major changes or trends o Complex topics or interdisciplinary activities Answer question of why we exist and what we should do to achieve our vision Prioritize between a variety of improvement initiatives (the library can't do everything) Get everyone on the same page Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 7

8 More Specifically It is exceedingly rare that fundamentally new approaches to research and education arise. Information technology has ushered in such a fundamental change. Digital data collections are at the heart of this change. -NSF: Long-lived digital data collections enabling research and education in the 21 st century, 2005 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 8

9 Specifically, e-science fundamentally alters the ways in which scientists carry out their work, the tools they use, the types of problems they address and the nature of the documentation and publication that results from their research -ARL: Agenda for developing e-science in research libraries, 2007 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/2011 9

10 Nearly all aspects of the research library s functions and roles may need to change to support these new methodologies -N. Rambo, JMLA, July 2009 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

11 act locally, but participate globally because there is no single, correct strategy or approach - S. Choudury, C & RL News, April 2010 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

12 Truly a Perfect Storm Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

13 How are Colleagues keeping their Heads in the Cloud but Feet on the Floor? Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

14 AAHSL, Oct. Survey Does Your Library Support e-science Initiatives at Your Institution? o Yes 13 62% o No 8 38% o Total % Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

15 Challenges Lack of staff (appropriate, need to retrain) Lack of funding Lack of time/interest Lack of awareness of/respect for library as partners ( they don t get it ) Identifying key researchers; identifying needs Getting your nose in the door Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

16 Challenges, cont d Lack of tools to support librarians Institutional infrastructure, including decentralization Variation across domains Developing bioinformatics training to meet real needs University library not yet engaged Lack of culture/practice of data sharing High cost of adding metadata to datasets Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

17 Opportunities Awareness/support among stakeholders is building Working with key stakeholders on various initiatives (profiling, writing data management plans, information services) Success with initiatives, creating value is building credibility CTSC is approachable Assigned library liaison to research enterprise Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

18 Opportunities, cont d Included in AHC strategic planning Ontology development Educational support from Regional Medical Library Funding agencies are requiring data management and sharing plans Main campus library is getting involved Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

19 Survey of AAHSL August 2011 survey Report forthcoming by Bart Ragon and Andrea Horne University of Virginia Identify library planning and activities related to e-science, including strategies for staffing, professional development, areas of engagement and planned program development Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

20 ARL 6 Case Studies Common Steps to Prepare for e-science o Identify team to develop plan for initiatives o Inventory campus resources o Survey research needs and attitudes o Allocate multiple staff to support initiatives ARL, E-Science and Data Support Services, 2010 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

21 Skill Sets Library and information science expertise Subject expertise Partnerships and outreach (internal & external) Participating in sponsored research Balancing workload - Carritano & Carlson, A Subject Librarian s Guide to Collaborating, 2009 Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

22 Need for resources GIR Digital Research Oct. Summit o Data management plans o Governance models o Data definitions and standards o Building a workforce with analytic/informatics skill set Drivers to support transition to collaborative/teambased science o Create P & T incentives o Address publication disincentives o Continue to evolve funding models Process o Communicate broadly about collaborative sciences o Create forum to continue cross discipline conversation o Build buy-in on an action plan or roadmap for academic medicine Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

23 UNM Case Study 1. Infrastructure/Partnership 2. Resources 3. Instruction 4. Capacity Building A. Professional Development B. Staffing C. Research Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

24 1. Infrastructure Envoy Program Help.UNM Collaboration with main campus and law libraries o escholar Innovation Center at UNM o Provide specialized facilities, applications and resources to promote electronic publishing, online research collaboration, shared data sets, and open access scholarship Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

25 2. Resources Assessed HSLIC journal collection in collaborative process with researchers Assessed HSLIC e-science resources o A Slice of Research Life o N. Rambo & K. Butter June to AAHSL about member e-science resources Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

26 3. Instruction Biomedical Informatics Seminar Series Biomedical Informatics Core of Masters in Science in Clinical Research Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

27 4. Capacity Building Professional development o MLA SIG on translational sciences collaboration Repurposed resources o Converted library knowledge consultant to coordinator for evidence-based and translational science services o Converting archivist position to data curator o Adding a data manager Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

28 4. Cont d Participation in interdisciplinary research Advancing our own research: Vision2020 initiative o Creates first academic health center strategic plan to focus on improving a state s population health and health equity as a measure of the institution s success Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/

29 Summary Assess capacity, human and information resources Develop team skills Participate in sponsored research Re-balance workload and define priorities Develop strategic plan to articulate your role in institutional e-science initiatives remember, keep your head in the clouds but feet on the floor Buchanan, HS: Strategic Planning for Digital Data Stewardship 11/5/
