We use various methods here at UNC Charlotte, we have an entire
department of Central IT dedicated to Research Computing (although the
College of Computing and Infomatics assists them in their endevors).
Specifically over in the College of Computing and Infomatics we use
various methods.
For large (1TB+)  data sets we use our Dell Compellent (1 Petabyte of
store capacity with easy expansion if needed)
For Small and Medium data sets we use our Fileserver (and sometimes
the compellent...depending on need)
We also recommend our researchers augment the above using Google Drive
and Dropbox for Business.
For non-employee access (affiliate researchers etc) the university has
a method to create sponsored accounts and from there we just add them
to a VPN group and go.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Interim data storage for researchers

2016-04-12 Thread Chris Hoffman 
I’m really glad Krista asked this question, because it’s one we get asked at UC 
Berkeley all the time.  We’ve launched a project as part of our Research Data 
Management program to come up with recommendations and a roadmap.  We’re 
calling this “active research data storage” to distinguish it from preservation 
and sharing, but I’d love to hear how others describe this. 

It’s pretty clear that there isn’t one answer to the question. A range of 
services is needed in order to meet the very different kinds of research needs. 
 We’ve been developing a conceptual framework that looks at the intersection of 
a) the specific needs of the research project, b) the storage technologies and 
architectures available, and c) storage service characteristics such as cost 
and security.

Because this points to a potentially complicated 3-dimensional intersection, we 
are emphasizing the role of consulting.  Four of the first questions we ask are:
a) Tell me a little about the research you are conducting.
b) Are your data sensitive or subject to restrictions (e.g., human subjects 
research, or via a data use agreement with a data provider)?
c) What is the maximum file size that you need to store (this ends up being a 
constraint on many services)?
d) Do you need to share these files with other researchers? At your institution 
or beyond?
Needless to say, these then lead to any number of other questions.  

At Berkeley we’re still trying to come up with a good set of services that meet 
the different needs of scholars here.  We point people to our campus-approved 
Box and Drive services, and our central IT (of which I’m a part) does have 
professionally managed storage services available for recharge fees that many 
find too expensive.  We’re working with other campuses in our UC system that 
offer storage services as well, and we’ll continue to look at services like OSF 
and Figshare.

Ralph,

If you are looking for the spec that was detailed in that post, I cannot 
help you.   If you are looking for a tool to actually perform the 
conversion and produce output that conforms to that spec it can be done via the 
Marc4J library.

If you are interested I can give specific information about how to do that.

Tom,

The Knight funded OpenNews project  is not exactly a
community but certainly is working along those lines. Their upcoming SRCCON
conference seems focused on the same kinds of things
code4lib is, but for journalism.

Another upcoming conference, 'csv,conf'  is bringing
together journalists and open source tech folks, as well as civic hackers,
and even a few cultural heritage folks, to talk about the technology they
are using to work with open data.

[CODE4LIB] FW: [CODE4LIB] Software used in Panama Papers Analysis

2016-04-12 Thread Kari R Smith 
A bit different, but I think relevant is the News Preservation efforts - 
Dodging the Memory Hole.  If you are interested in digital preservation and 
true archiving of digital-only News this is a good project to know about.  
https://educopia.org/events/dmh  They were just funded for a third round of 
work by IMLS.

The IJNet article is particularly interesting—thanks for posting this. Excerpts 
like the one below make me wonder if there is a “Code4News” community, and if 
so, how do we find and connect with them. It seems we have a lot in common, and 
maybe a lot to offer each other.


MC: What we’ve achieved is pretty remarkable. Newsrooms are in an economic 
crisis. No newsroom right now--except for maybe The New York Times and a few 
others--have the capability to do something major like this at a global scale. 
But we’re showing it’s possible. We share data, we produce tools for 
communication, we share our stories and our interactives, to make it happen.

they used? What did they use for OCR? Did they use qualitative data analysis 
software? Some type of annotation tools? It seems like there's a lot to learn

There's also Hacks/Hackers, a series of meetup groups for journalists and 
coders, and the Data Driven Journalism center, which is a project of the 
European Journalism Centre, and includes lots of tutorials and support that are 
useful for anyone, including librarians, researchers, and library patrons.

FigShare also includes active storage / management space for individuals and 
institutions.

https://figshare.com/features

I know several universities are looking at using FigShare for these purposes, 
and then feeding “finished” data into their existing IR or preservation repo.

Hi Krista, 

You might want to check out OwnCloud. It offers a viable Dropbox alternative 
that you can host locally, with sync clients for all major operating systems 
(even Blackberry cough).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Interim data storage for researchers

Hi Krista,
Our IT Services bought a product called Micro Focus Filr 
(https://www.novell.com/products/filr/) last year. It provides Dropbox-like 
functionality, allowing staff/students to share directories on their home drive 
with project collaborators (external users must register a user account). Their 
website is quite intimidating, but it's really easy to use. Tutorials can be 
found at http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/its/staffservices/filr/.

Regards,
Gareth

We have several researchers that are using Open Science Framework. It seems
to work well for collaboration across institutions and it gives the owner
control of granting access. It also syncs with Google Drive, Box, Dropbox

Re: [CODE4LIB] Mapping book locations

2016-04-12 Thread Dave Caroline 
It does get a bit involved, there is some recursion needed for a
reasonable implementation, eg a magazine in a file placed on a shelf
or an archive that has boxes on shelves.
I implemented it for my books and manuals, example :-
http://www.collection.archivist.info/shelfview.php?src=artitle=197

All items and locations have a barcode, the database has a location
id(one per shelf+ a special for containers),  and a
status(lost,confirmed,etc) on each item plus another field if the
locid is in/on an item/shelf.
A stock check routine, scan shelf, (mark items located), scan
items(mark confirmed on shelf/add to shelf), finish(mark unscanned as
lost)

The shelf locations have a room and xy location and orientation.
There is a linking table to tie together and a live map drawing and
and arrow image tool.
