WP1.1 Research Of Available Resources¶

(back to Wiki)

Results from previous projects (e.g. JISC RDMTrain programme, Research Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI), Incremental ), as well as available material from the DCC and other institutions, will be studied and evaluated. Disciplines will be compared and parts of the available material identified that need to be adapted to appeal to researchers in the area of digital music and audio research. In order to integrate the material into the Vitae /RCUK Researcher Development Framework , used to assign credits by the QMUL Learning Institute , the recently released "Information-handling Lens" will also be analysed.

Previous Projects¶

JISC RDMTrain programme

Online courses:

• Project CAIRO Managing Creative Arts Research Data
  4 short units. ~30 minutes each ?
• MANTRA for geosciences, social and political sciences and clinical psychology.
  Very detailed. Not a short course! Sections on rights and licensing not available.

Downloadable materials:

• DATUM for Health
• DMTpsych
• DataTrain

JISC Managing Research Data programme RDMTrain - Disciplinary RDM Training

Research Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI)

Incremental

This project will build on earlier work by HATII and the DCC to support research data management. It will analyse needs at Glasgow and Cambridge across a number of different disciplines; propose a range of tools or services to address those needs; and develop, adapt and pilot these within each institution. Outputs will then be further adapted and prepared for embedding in local infrastructures and wider dissemination via the Digital Curation Centre, Digital Preservation Coalition, and JISC. The project intends to focus on the provision of softer infrastructure (e.g. templates, training, best practice guidelines, and policy).

Researcher Development Framework¶

Researcher Development Framework

SCONUL - Society of College, National and University Libraries
SCONUL 7 Pillars Of Wisdom
SCONUL 7 Pillars Of Information Literacy

Information handling / literacy info. published 25th April 2012.

...RIN, SCONUL and members of the Working Group on Information-Handling have created a mapping of information literacy onto the Vitae Researcher Development Framework, using the SCONUL Seven Pillars of Information Literacy.

Vitae RDF Lenses¶

"Information-handling Lens" will also be analysed - now appears to have expanded into an "information literacy" lens.

Information literacy lens

Information literacy is an umbrella term which encompasses concepts such as digital, visual and media literacies, academic literacy, information handling, information skills, data curation and data management. Interacting with information is at the very heart of research and informed researchers are both consumers and producers of information.
