TDL DigiPres Webinar Series #3 UCSD Digital Preservation Analyst Sibyl Schaefer on Chronopolis
2017-11-10 14:00 - 14:30
The 4th DigiPres Webinar in our series is Friday, November 10 at 2pm CST. Texas Digital Library is excited to welcome UCSD Digital Preservation Analyst Sibyl Schaefer who will discuss Chronopolis with a live Q&A follow up.
Sibyl is the Digital Preservation Analyst for Research Data Curation at the University of California, San Diego. She is Program Manager for Chronopolis and helps define long-term digital preservation solutions for the UC San Diego campus.
The Chronopolis digital preservation network provides services for the long-term preservation and curation of America’s digital holdings. Because of the ephemeral nature of digital information, it is critical to organize and preserve the digital assets that represent society’s intellectual capital—the core seeds of knowledge that are the basis of future research and education.
TDL has recently become a Chronopolis node and can provide Chronopolis as a digital preservation storage option for our members.

2017-10-16 08:00 - 2017-10-18 17:00 | UT Austin Perry Castaneda Library (PCL), Austin, TX, United States
You are invited to join experienced trainers and Fedora gurus at Fedora Camp, co-hosted by University of Texas Libraries and the Texas Digital Library, to be held October 16 – 18 at the Perry-Castaneda Library in Austin, Texas.
Fedora is the robust, modular, open source repository platform for the management and dissemination of digital content. Fedora 4, the latest production version of Fedora, features vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and more. Fedora Camp offers everyone a chance to dive in and learn all about Fedora.
Training will begin with the basics and build toward more advanced concepts-no prior Fedora experience is required. Participants can expect to come away with a deep dive Fedora learning experience coupled with multiple opportunities for applying hands-on techniques.
Previous Fedora Camps include the inaugural camp held at Duke University, the West Coast camp at Caltech, and the most recent, NYC camp held at Columbia University.
Betsy Coles, Caltech Library Services and Fedora Camp attendee, said, “The material covered was comprehensive, which I needed. It was also pitched at an appropriate level for me. I was able to keep up with the hands-on exercises without becoming completely bufuddled. I thought the organization of the material and the hands-on exercises were very well done. I also appreciated the chance to interact with others with both similar and different interests.”
The camp curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of Fedora 4 by exploring such topics as:

Core and integrated features
Data modeling and linked data
Hydra and Islandora
Migrating to Fedora 4
Deploying Fedora 4 in production
Preservation services

A knowledgeable team of instructors from the Fedora community will lead you through the curriculum: David Wilcox – Fedora Product Manager; Andrew Woods – Fedora Technical Lead; Bethany Seeger – Amherst College; Aaron Birkland – Johns Hopkins University; Mike Durbin – University of Virginia.

Launching the Texas Data Repository: How to Implement TDR at Your Institution
2016-10-06 10:30 - 12:00 | online
Presenters:

Kristi Park, Executive Director, Texas Digital Library
Santi Thompson, Head of Digital Repository Services, University of Houston Libraries

The Texas Data Repository (TDR), a new service offered by the Texas Digital Library, is a platform for publishing and archiving datasets and other data products created by faculty, staff, and students at Texas higher education institutions. The repository, which is built in the open source application Dataverse, will enable TDL member libraries to provide research data management services to their campus communities that will: enable compliance with federal mandates for data archiving and sharing, increase the scholarly impact of datasets through assignment of persistent online identifiers and citations, and facilitate limited sharing within research groups, data versioning, and long-term preservation.
In this webinar, Kristi Park (Director of the TDL) and Santi Thompson (Head of Digital Repository Services at the University of Houston Libraries and chair of the TDL Dataverse Implementation Working Group) will give an overview of the repository service, requirements for TDL member participation, and plans for the future of the service.
