Two UW Libraries Data Services Team
members were able to attend recent conferences related to data services:
Open Repositories 2013, and the International Association for Social Science
Information Services and Technology 2013.
OR2013 was held on Prince Edward
Island from July 8th-11th. Stephanie Wright attended two workshops looking at
the future of institutional repositories and how institutional repositories
deal with data. Plenaries by Victoria Stodden and Jean-Claude Guedon were inspiring and both
were focused (in different ways) on research reproducibility and scholarly
communications and altmetrics. The tweets were flowing so if you'd like
to read the thoughts of attendees, check out the Twitter hashtag #OR2013, or you can check out the summarized version on Storify,
and a summary of the conference from an IASSIST perspective at http://www.iassistdata.org/blog/or2013-open-repositories-confront-research-data.
Jennifer Muilenburg attended IASSIST2013 in Cologne,
Germany, from May 28-31. Presentations included several on training researchers
on research data management, different approaches to institutional
repositories, issues around data collection in university libraries, access to
restricted data, and lots more. A brief summary of the conference can be found here: http://www.iassistdata.org/blog/ich-bin-ein-iassister. Due to spotty wifi, the tweets were lacking, but some of what made it through includes links to presentations.
