 Recruitment
  • Marianna - CSU training, an audience to tap into
  • Adam - there was a call in COLA to come up with research groups and they put up an archaeology research cluster focused on digital archieology and complex digital objects, COLA's effort to revitalize TARL - those people would be the network of people, research cluster are people that could go in on grants together; one off round table with food - a faculty panel, Spring (break it out into the appropriate domains)
    • this would need to be targeted with key individuals that you knew could do it
    • clear thematic connections between the members in a mixed-domain group
    • most faculty have an issue with data preservation but it's not urgent
    • data management plan should be part of the invitation so people see an end goal or benefit to participate
    • training needs to be framed in terms of solving a probleme rather than creating more work
  • Ashley is interested in this because Dr. Haricombe is interested in being embedded in the research, not just seen as a service that faculty needs to find. They can see that value.
  • Marianna - it is unclear whether the faculty research data is a state record - it depends on the contract with the funding agency
    • the retention period for data is 3-5 years after the project is over
    • if faculty don't want to get rid of that data afterwards to do a longitudinal study, that is an option but you have to have clear justification
    • could this be useful for developing records management training for faculty or a webinar
    • there is a big question about which is which
  • Ashley
    • where does records management leave off and the data management librarian picks up
  • TACC 5,000 for faculty
    • Space on production server
    • Maintenance of data set
    • Someone who works with data structures and metadata
    • Commitment for maintenance for dynamic data sets
  • The relationships between existing department and new positions that are only recently coming online
 Software and Data Infrastructure
  • TACC gets things started so we need to bring TACC into a conversation about relationships to archives, faculty, the library
  • Also workflow for moving this stuff around - workflows and technology for facilitating large files - possible panel (UTBox)
  • software preservation
 Round Robins
  • Marianna - 
    • new system for sending materials to and from the records center
    • records management for social media
    • automating the disposition process
    • Qualtrics form for disposition as a band-aid solution
    • How are you recommending that people preserve social media
    • Need to go ahead and sign up for the Archive-It sandbox
    • Nov. 17th is the E-Recs conference, all day at the Pickle ($85)
  • Ashley -
    • creating a lab
    • DAMTF - stakeholder interviews
    • TACC Grant - Long term preservation for the items that are piped through the system versus working and live data sets, she met with Maria to see TACC machines
    • Marianna did a needs assessment for DAMS and will send to Ashley
    • Katie and I can send her the CDO questions
