High Water Raises All Boats Leveraging Partnerships on Campus to Build a Repository Mary Molinaro University of Kentucky Libraries

More Than a “Library” Issue  Worked on IR issues since 2003  Opening Doors to Open Scholarship (white paper)  http:  2007  Advocated for campus-wide support

Repository Model (2007)

We have to do something!

Digital Commons and Be Press  Hosted solution  Indexed by Google and Google Scholar  OAI compliant  Persistent URL  Creation of peer reviewed journals  Content can be delivered back to us

What we are putting into UKnowledge?  Electronic Theses and Dissertations  Articles  Books  Presentations  University press materials

Concurrently…

Kentucky Digital Library Migration  DLXS to what?  Has to accommodate multiple kinds of data  Not simply a CMS  Use all open source tools  Blacklight as the discovery layer  Settled on a Micro-Services based repository

Why Micro-Services?  Nimble  Flexible  Modular  Easily replaced  Supports our overall strategy

At the same time a storm is brewing…  New data management requirements from federal granting agencies (NSF, NIH, etc)  Various solutions popping up around campus

Partners: Specialized Expertise  Library  Digital preservation  Metadata  Information Technology  Hardware Infrastructure  Cloud Storage solutions  Research  Proposal development  Agency requirements

Educating partners  Working from a position of strength  Leverage our expertise and experience  Confidence in the approach

NSF & NIH Research Grant Associated Data Electronic Records E-Print UKnowledge Digital Media Digital Library Content Other Research Data Micro-Services to address back-end repository functions Hydra to address front-end repository functions Common Metadata Store Hybrid Cloud Storage – File & Object Based

Scope - Initially  Service Research data management needs providing meaningful & robust services to researchers – specifically, NSF & NIH requirements  Workflow  Metadata Management  Federation – Security & Identity  Curation  Storage – Lowest Cost

Scope - Future  Provide Enterprise Repository Services for much of UK from a data management & research perspective

Infrastructure Considerations  Overlap with High Performance Computing & Cloud storage space  Virtualized Infrastructure

Partner Roles  Library  Technical lead  Metadata schema  Data management plans  Information Technology  Storage solutions – spinning disc, tape, cloud  Virtualized infrastructure  Security and authorization  Research  Policies  Governance  Proposal development with researchers

Next steps  Policies and governance  Meetings with research stakeholders  Funding models  Data management tool
