OCLC Research Library Partnership (ORLP)• ~160 research libraries

worldwide

• Develop a shared understanding trends & opportunities

• Engagement with OCLC Research

• Global interactions & collaboration

• www.oclc.org/research/partnership.html

RIM Efforts

• Working groups– International survey on RIM

practices at research universities (in collaboration with EuroCRIS)

– Value proposition of libraries in RIM

• Webinars – Quarterly webinars by ORLP

member institutions on RIM topics

– Archived for entire library community

• RIM listserv

The Realities of Research Data Management

oc.lc/rdm

• Examines how universities acquire capacity to serve local RDM needs.

• Case studies of four research universities:

University of Edinburgh (UK) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US) Wageningen University & Research

(Netherlands) Monash University (Australia)

• The first of four reports was just released

What is Research Information Management (RIM)

The aggregation, curation, & utilization of metadata about research activities

Overlapping terms:

• CRIS (Current Research Information System)

• RNS (Research Networking System)

• RPS (Research Profiling System)

• FAR (Faculty Activity Reporting)

• RIMs are not independent researcher profile systems like Research Gate or Academia.edu

• RIM ≠ Research Data Management (RDM)

Why discuss RIM?• Increasingly networked environment

made possible through changes in scholarly communications infrastructure

o Greater ability to aggregate and reliable exchange information

o Opportunity to be intentional about interoperability & reuse

• Widespread RIM adoption internationally, with growing library engagement

What did we achieve?16

Mandatory participation

Includes all faculty at University

Includes appointed professionals and

Transitions paper processes to online

Integrates with campus data

systems

Faculty self-report of ALL scholarly

activities

Facilitates/Records Evaluations

Why did we do this?

• Modernize faculty annual review

• Faculty reporting

• Workflow and review documentation

• Align annual review and P&T processes

• New reporting options and efficiencies

• Faculty can tell their own stories

• Interactive faculty directory and profile system

• More vigorous and to some degree standardized review processes **Department/college review is regulated thru faculty governance

• Reuse & Interoperability with other systems

• Data Transparency

How many people did it take?

• Core Team - 1.5-3 FTE/yr

• Lead, Data Architect, Bus. Analyst

• Adding Training Specialist (PT)

• Adding 2nd Business Analyst (PT)

• College /Department Leads

• Stakeholder Advisory Team

• Faculty Advisory Team (adhoc)

• Core Team – 7 members

• Stakeholder Advisory Team

What Systems do we use?

• Interfolio’s Faculty180

• Course System (courses and evaluations)

• HR System

• Graduate Advising System

• Sponsored Research System

• Neo4J with custom web display

• ORCID (forthcoming)

• Vivo (?)

CONCLUSIONS

What does this mean for libraries?• Libraries are partners but rarely the sole owner of

• Libraries offer important expertise & values– Support & training for researchers

– Up-to-date knowledge of scholarly communications trends, and intersections with OA, RDM, identifiers

– Knowledge to support discoverability, preservation

– Bibliographic metadata & standards

– Bibliometrics & altmetrics

Discussion• Why should universities do this?

• Why should libraries do this?

• Who are the partners? Leaders? Liaisons?

• What resources are needed? Being used?

• Who are these services intended to serve? What are the primary goals?

• How are services being received?

• How do these systems interoperate with others?
