*Moving beyond technology: iSchools and education in data curation.
Is Data Curator a new role ?
*Good news. You still have some time to submit a
paper to this workshop. The deadline has been
extended to July 10th.
Workshop to be held in connection with TPDL 2013,
September 26th, 2013, Valletta, Malta
Workshop background
The increase of digital content in the broad areas of Institutional and
domain specific Repositories, Libraries, Archives and Museums and the
increased interest in the sharing and preservation of “research data” have
triggered the emergence of some buzz words that more and more appear in the
literature, such as Convergence (in this context the merging of the
education curricula and the professions for information professionals in
the disciplines of Library Science, Archival, and Museum Studies), Digital
Curation (in this context the actions needed to enrich and maintain digital
material over its entire life-cycle and over time, for current and future
generations of users) and Data Curator (in this context the
person/organization responsible for all the activities connected with the
management/curation of digital data, in particular of research data).
*Workshop objectives
*The main objective of the workshop is to provide additional insight in the
complex interplay between education, research and curation (including long
term preservation) of digital data. In more practical terms, it is expected
to contribute to a more precise definition of the content of the curricula
needed for the education and training of the information professionals,
gain a better understanding of the level at which a convergence of the
three traditional professions could be achieved, contribute to a more
global view of the access and preservation of research outcomes (for
present and future sharing), which today are very often scattered in
libraries, archives, institutional repositories, data bases, etc.
The full-day workshop (on September 26th) will be held in connection with
the TPDL 2013 Conference <http://www.tpdl2013.info/> (Theory and Practice
of Digital Libraries), to be held on September 22-26, 2013 in Valletta,
Malta. Expected contributors and participants in the conference and in this
workshop are educators, information professionals involved in the storage
and preservation of research data, scholars from different disciplines
interested in understanding and achieving the preservation of their
research data. The workshop intends to provide an opportunity for
discussing and sharing experiences both in research and education,
especially in the context of curation of research data. A satellite event
at TPDL(G-WiS: Global Collaboration of
iSchools<http://tpdl2013.upatras.gr/satellite.php>)
can provide additional opportunities for contributions and participation
from scholars and educators in iSchools, traditionally in the forefront for
innovative curricula and adaptation to a changing environment in education,
research and professional activities. A more detailed description of the
workshop can be found at the TPDL web
site<http://tpdl2013.upatras.gr/ws-datacur.php>
.
*Call for contributions
*We invite contributions and concrete examples of research projects,
educational programmes and training initiatives in digital curation and
