WEST LAFAYETTE, IN \u2014 Purdue University Libraries and the Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) have been awarded an Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant (LG-55-14-0098-14) to develop a roadmap for the next generation of the Data Curation Profiles Toolkit (DCPT). Along with co-PI\u2019s Jake Carlson at University of Michigan and Suzie Allard at the University of Tennessee, the Planning Grant\u2014 \u201cEnhancing the Data Curation Profiles to help Bridge the Gap between Researcher and Repository\u201d\u2014 will allow Purdue Libraries to bring together expertise in the field of data curation to propose the next iteration of the DCPT as a more extensible and powerful tool for librarians and other information professionals to connect with stakeholders seeking to deposit their research data into a repository.\u00a0 Partners include Sarah Jones at University of Glasgow, Angus Whyte at University of Edinburgh, Sherry Lake at University of Virginia and Todd Vision at Dryad.<\/p>\n
\u201cPurdue Libraries began its exploration into data curation a decade ago,\u201d said James L. Mullins, dean of Libraries and Esther Ellis Norton Professor at Purdue University.\u00a0 \u201cThis award acknowledges our continued leadership and further facilitates our contributions to the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Principal Investigator Scott Brandt said, \u201cOur intent is to develop a tool that will bridge the gap between the \u2018active stages\u2019 of the data management lifecycle to the \u2018curation stages\u2019 of discovery, access and preservation.\u201d Brandt, along with co-PIs Jake Carlson (UM) and Suzie Allard (UTK), will plan and host a two-day workshop to scope the outcomes and work needed to redesign and produce \u201cDCPT2.0.\u201d Additionally, the group will produce a report reviewing the challenges of bridging the gap between data producers and data curators and identify recommendations for addressing these challenges.<\/p>\n
The DCPT was created in 2010 with support from the IMLS as a resource for librarians to engage researchers in discussion about their data. The Toolkit has been downloaded over 1200 times in 28 countries and used by librarians, administrators, LIS faculty and students, and researchers in many fields. The associated Data Curation Profiles Directory<\/em> has published 32 Profiles that have been downloaded over 5000 times since January 2013. The Association of College & Research Libraries\u2019 Science & Technology Section\u2019s 2013 Innovation Award (Sponsored by IEEE) went to the D2C2 for its research and development of the Data Curation Profiles Toolkit.<\/p>\n For more information on this award, Purdue Libraries and the Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) go to lib.purdue.edu or d2c2.lib.purdue.edu.<\/p>\n ###<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WEST LAFAYETTE, IN \u2014 Purdue University Libraries and the Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) have been awarded an Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant (LG-55-14-0098-14) to develop a roadmap for the next generation of the Data Curation Profiles Toolkit (DCPT).
