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.
