*Hybrid IT Alignment: for Campus, Cloud and Community*

*Robert H. McDonald, *Dean of University Libraries, University of Colorado
- Boulder



Abstract: Research libraries have a long history of cooperating around
common needs for technology, resources, and software. However, this
approach is not always true between libraries and their central IT units on
their campuses. This presentation will discuss use of highly leveraged IT
resources for developing appropriate technology management scenarios that
extend from the single campus to the large university system. The talk with
rethink the leverage brought to bear by current cloud technologies as well
as identifying and utilizing community based resources that may become more
and more important to the library community over the long-term.



*A Collaborative Approach to Supporting Research and High Performance
Computing*

*Marcy Vana*, Senior Support Scientist, Becker Medical Library, Washington
University in St Louis;



Biomedical researchers increasingly need basic programming skills and
access to shared computing resources to conduct their research. In response
to this evolving research environment, Becker Medical Library and the
Center for High Performance Computing at Washington University in St. Louis
formed a partnership to support the use of biomedical data analysis
software designed for a cluster environment and to develop a series of
introductory research computing workshops aimed at researchers new to
programming and cluster computing. Demand for the introductory research
computing workshops, in particular, has been very high, suggesting that
there is a significant need for support in this area on campus. In order to
meet this need, we have extended this successful collaboration to include
the recently created Institute for Informatics, allowing us to begin to
cover additional topics and further support the research community on
campus.



*The lock to the safe has been tampered with: Why FERPA & IRB aren’t enough
to protect student data in higher education*

*M. Brooke Robertshaw*, Assistant Professor & Assessment Librarian, Oregon
State University;



This presentation will discuss why the Federal Education Rights Privacy Act
(FERPA), and Institutional Review Boards (IRB), are not effective safe
guards for protecting student data in this time of big data and learning
analytics, even in the library. It will then touch on how the methodologies
used in assessment and learning analytics are unintentionally, or
intentionally, misused. The presentation will end with a list of practical
actions that people can take in response to what they will learn from this
presentation.
