[dcc-associates] RE: LIS-RESEARCHSUPPORT Digest - 28 Mar 2013 to 4 Apr 2013 (#2013-21)

[Joy Davidson]

Understanding how 3rd party data are being used by researchers within an 
institution is likely to be a concern for many HEIs setting up research data 
management policies and support services. The University of York are currently 
seeking input for their survey on how external data resources are being managed 
institutionally. The survey is available until April 16th. 

Best regards,
Joy

Subject: How are external data resources managed at your institution?

Dear all

Staff at the University of York Information Directorate are undertaking a 
project to survey the use of external datasets (financial, social/economic, 
environmental etc) for research and learning at our institution, aiming to 
develop a medium-term strategy for managing subscriptions, licences and user 
support.

We would like to establish whether there are any common practices across the
sector:  who within your institution has responsibility for managing data 
sources, what skills/experience does the role require, and what services do you 
provide?

Your response to the survey below (5 questions) will be much appreciated.
Unless you choose to identify yourself in Q5, your response will be anonymous.
 
Please respond by 5pm Tuesday 16th April.

Subject: RCUK OA Guidance and FAQs

Colleagues, RCUK has published the latest version of its Policy and Guidance on 
Open Access

It has also provided a FAQ document, which will be updated as and when new 
questions arise.

The changes aim to further clarify the guidance, and draw on comments received 
from across the research community, learned societies and publishers following 
a call for input in March.
