"Landscape Study of Research Data Repositories " : Student Seminar-7
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-7 Landscape Study of Research Data Repositories Abstract Research data are important and universal to infer new ideas and knowledge. The growth of the data is not parallel to the reuse of data. The permanent access and long-term preservation of research data is a challenge for all researchers or stakeholders in the scientific community. To facilitate research data we need to build a platform called data repository, a hub to store datasets in various domains. These days many organizations like universities, research centers are building their own repository for providing access to research data in a trustworthy environment. In this seminar we shall discuss the scenario of research data, how research data repositories promote a culture of sharing, increased access and better visibility of research data. We shall briefly discuss some of the repository registries (e.g., re3data.org) and the repositories (e.g., DRIED, ICAR Research Data Repository for Knowledge Management). In this seminar, we shall also discuss the repository software tools like Dataverse and CKAN. We shall conclude this seminar with some issues and major challenges of creating and managing the data repositories. Speaker: Srinivas Gurrala Date: 27-10-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room(G-21), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Report : Future of Libraries - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT
by Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Respected All An MIT task force is releasing a preliminary report featuring a set of proposals aimed at steering MIT’s library system toward becoming an “open global platform” enabling the “discovery, use, and stewardship of information and knowledge” for future generations. The report, based on a year of work since the formation of the task force, contains general recommendations intended to develop “a global library for a global university,” while strengthening the library system’s relationship with the local academic community and public sphere. “For the MIT Libraries, the better world we seek is one in which there is abundant, equitable, meaningful access to knowledge and to the products of the full life cycle of research,” the report states. “Enduring global access to knowledge requires sustainable models for ensuring that past and present knowledge are available long into the future.” “The task force spent significant time imagining the kind of library we need at an institution that aims to improve the world,” said Chris Bourg, director of MIT Libraries, who served as the task force chair. “This is an opportunity to go big, to invent the future of the information landscape, and to envision how we can leverage the unique strengths, expertise, and values of MIT to lead the way.” Fulltext Report : https://future-of-libraries.mit.edu/sites/default/files/ FutureLibraries-PrelimReport-Final.pdf -- Warm Regards Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar Librarian *Prin.
