Item A scan of Indigenous data in an institutional data repository(2025-01-10) Zuniga, Alicia; Marsolek, Wanda; Hunt, ShandaThe Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM) is an open access (fully available to the public) institutional data repository. DRUM accepts Indigenous data into the repository utilizing informal practices (i.e., requests for data use agreement [DUA] between researcher and Tribal Agency) and no formal policies. As a first step toward incorporating the CARE Principles into DRUM’s workflow and policies, we proposed a project in partnership with Data Services Continuing Professional Education (DSCPE), a ten-week experience that connected Alicia Zuniga (CSUS) with Wanda Marsolek and Shanda Hunt (UMN). The DSCPE project - which occurred September through November 2024 - included several vital activities performed by Zuniga which led to the following outputs: 1) list of search terms related to Indigenous data in Minnesota; 2) spreadsheet of those datasets that captures the level of Indigenous consent that was given to share the data publicly; 3) resource list of policies, practices, and documents related to Indigenous data; 4) recommendations for DRUM based on findings and the DSCPE experience; and 5) map of this process so that others, including DRUM staff, can implement and build on the important groundwork established by Zuniga. This digital record includes a protocol (outputs #1 and #5) and a recommendations report (outputs #3 and #4).Item Consent Forms Data Curation Primer(Data Curation Network, 2021-02-26) Hunt, Shanda; Hofelich Mohr, Alicia; Woodbrook, RachelItem CURATE(D) Fundamentals Workshop(Data Curation Network, 2024) Hudson Vitale, Cynthia; Hadley, Hannah; Wham, Briana; Borda, Susan; Carlson, Jake; Darragh, Jennifer; Fearon, David; Herndon, Joel; Hunt, Shanda; Johnston, Lisa R.; Kalt, Marley; Kozlowski, Wendy; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Marsolek, Wanda; Moore, Jennifer; Narlock, Mikala; Scott, Dorris; Wheeler, Jon; Woodbrook, Rachel; Wright, Sarah; Yee, Michelle; Lake, SherrySlides developed for the CURATE(D) Fundamentals workshops.

Within DRUM, there are 43 datasets with human subjects data. A human subject is a living individual about whom a researcher obtains, uses, studies, analyzes, or generates information. Datasets published in DRUM are openly available, broadly disseminated, and downloadable without restriction. Because of the sensitive nature of human subjects data, and the potential issues with publishing such data in a publicly accessible repository, we assess all human subjects data before acceptance. Ongoing conversations with researchers and other campus units regarding human subjects data in DRUM have brought to light the need for an analysis of our own processes as well as a scan of other repositories’ practices and policies for the purpose of formalizing a human subjects policy for DRUM. Description: We analyzed DRUM’s accepted and rejected human subjects datasets since 2013, in order to evaluate DRUM’s past and current practices regarding human subjects data, the ethical considerations we have weighed, and the actions we have taken in regards to these datasets. This presentation will provide specific examples of rejected datasets and the recommendations that curators made to researchers, and also detail the ethical considerations of publishing de-identified human subjects data when the study participants have not been notified. DRUM’s ongoing efforts to educate and establish campus-wide understanding of the issues led to the second aim of this study: we conducted a scan of 105 repositories that ingest human subjects data and analyzed 1) language related to participant consent on the website and 2) language related to participant consent in the deposit agreement. Finally, the presentation will detail the process of formulating a formal DRUM policy on human subjects dataset submissions based on the results of the analyses. Conclusion: We’ll detail the outcome of the human subjects policy inventory and any progress made as a result of ongoing outreach efforts by DRUM curators at the University of Minnesota. We'll also discuss next steps in getting the new DRUM human subjects policy approved.Item Elevating Engagement with Health Sciences Faculty: The Implementation of Research Sprints at the University of Minnesota(2019-05) Hunt, Shanda; Brown, Sarah Jane; McBurney, JennyThe University of Minnesota Libraries adopted Research Sprints as an innovative faculty engagement approach. The primary goal was to offer faculty the opportunity to partner with a team of expert librarians on a specific research or pedagogical project during an intensive 4-day period, and differed from traditional consultations in timing and depth of interaction. A secondary goal was to solidify the status of librarians as valuable collaborators. The Libraries hosted two iterations of Research Sprints in May of 2017 and 2018 and evaluated both using surveys and reflection. Of the 30 applications received, five were from the health sciences, one of which was selected for participation in the Sprints. This project led to the creation of a website that houses freely-available resources for eight public health topics and numerous professional development tutorials. Faculty not selected were contacted for collaboration on their proposal outside of the Sprint setting. These proposals (Public Health, Medicine, and Nursing) led to face-to-face consults and comprehensive literature reviews, and continue to be ongoing collaborations.Item Ethical and Practical Considerations of Open Data Sharing when Conducting Research with Human Participants(2019-03) Bakker, Caitlin; Hunt, Shanda; Hofelich Mohr, AliciaThe Libraries and LATIS will present on the conflicts that can arise when attempting to balance the protection of participant privacy with expectations for open data. Restrictive language in IRB protocols, consent forms, and participant agreements designed to protect privacy can limit researchers when sharing, storing, or archiving the resulting data. Ethically, what is the appropriate course of actionItem Executive Summary Presented to the School of Public Health: Information Needs Assessment of Public Health Researchers(2017-09) Hunt, Shanda; Bakker, CaitlinA needs assessment was conducted by the University of Minnesota Libraries of School of Public Health faculty researchers. Qualitative analyses revealed unique information science needs, some misunderstandings, and a wealth of challenges. Librarians offered potential solutions to improve research processes.Item Human Subjects Data Essentials Data Curation Primer(Data Curation Network, 2020) Darragh, Jen; Hofelich Mohr, Alicia; Hunt, Shanda; Woodbrook, Rachel; Fearon, Dave; Moore, Jennifer; Hadley, HannahItem Indigenous data in an institutional repository: First steps toward putting the CARE Principles into practice(Data Curation Network, 2024) Zuniga, Alicia; Marsolek, Wanda; Hunt, ShandaThe authors collaborated to conduct an audit of Indigenous data in an institutional repository. As part of this work, the authors, led by Zuniga, created a list of search terms related to Indigenous data in Minnesota to help identify potential Indigenous datasets; a resource list of policies, practices, and documents related to Indigenous data; recommendations for DRUM based on findings; and a final report and roadmap so that others, including DRUM staff, can implement and build on the important groundwork established by Zuniga.Item Information Literacy of Online Health Consumers in Minnesota(2018-09) Hunt, Shanda; Theis-Mahon, Nicole; Chew, KatherineIn the United States 72% of Internet users look online to find health information, with some being high quality and other information dangerous. The University of Minnesota is a land grant institution, and the Health Sciences Libraries have a strong outreach role, educating health information consumers across Minnesota about high quality resources. In 2016, we conducted a study at the Minnesota State Fair to identify where Minnesotans find online health information, how they use it, their confidence in assessing it, and what they think is missing. Convenience sampling yielded a total of 255 participants who valued the ability to access OHI and used it for a variety of purposes. A high percentage of participants thought they had the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate OHI, yet were uncertain about indicators of quality. They felt that current resources lacked personalization and evidence-based information. Our study recommendations on further educational outreach around online health information include promotion of interactive educational websites, partnerships with public libraries to host large-scale education sessions on the topic, and skill building around assessment of health websites.Item Information Science Solutions to Communicating Public Health Research Findings to the Public(2018-05) Bakker, Caitlin; Hunt, ShandaWe conducted a needs assessment of public health researchers November 2016 - January 2017. The aims of the study were to capture the evolving needs, opportunities, and challenges of public health researchers in the current environment and provide actionable recommendations. Participants (N=24) were recruited through convenience sampling and one-on-one interviews were audio recorded. Qualitative analyses were conducted using NVivo 11. The data revealed that researchers recognized the need to communicate the significance of public health research findings to the public, yet felt they lacked the skills and resources necessary. Many researchers questioned the value of making articles, research data, and other outputs openly available. They expressed their frustration in trying to make complex data sets and research findings easily digestible by broad audiences. Finally, they did not make the connection between their professional marketing activities and dissemination. Information professionals can assist public health researchers in modernizing and broadening their dissemination practices by considering alternative forums, such as repositories and open education resources, and by utilizing formats, such as data visualizations, that more effectively convey research findings. Libraries can also introduce researchers to plain language summaries of research outputs and ways in which social media is being used to communicate to the public. These strategies could advance public health communication to the public, practitioners, and policymakers, as well as contribute to open science.Item Measuring the Value of Data Curation: Preliminary Results from the Data Curation Network(2019-04) Hadley, Hannah; Vitale, Cynthia; Johnston, Lisa R; Kozlowski, Wendy; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Hunt, Shanda; Luong, Hoa; Ge, LizhaoItem My Doctor Said What!?: identifying and assessing online health information resources(2017) Theis-Mahon, Nicole; Hunt, Shanda; Forbes, NoraObjectives: Health information consumers look to the Internet to find answers to questions about their health or that of a loved one. We conducted a study to identify where individuals find online health information, how they use it, and what they think is missing. Results from this study are being used to make recommendations of how to improve services to this population. Methods: The University of Minnesota Health Sciences Libraries conducted a cross-sectional study of adults in August 2016. The survey instrument was adapted from the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) and the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13), administered electronically on tablets at the Minnesota State Fair, and took approximately six minutes to complete. Convenience sampling yielded a total of 281 participants. Analysis of descriptive statistics and statistics to explore relationships between variables were conducted using R, and a qualitative analysis of one survey item was conducted using NVivo. Results/Conclusion: Preliminary results show that a majority of participants use a search engine, such as Google, WebMD, or the Mayo Clinic website, to locate online health information. While most respondents were confident in their ability to evaluate the health resources they find online, only half identified indicators of quality health information. This result was confounded by the high number of participants who were health providers. Participants identified personalization of and interactivity with health websites as highly desirable.Item My Doctor Said What?!: Identifying and Assessing Online Health Information Resources(2017-05) Theis-Mahon, Nicole; Hunt, ShandaThe University of Minnesota (UMN) Libraries conducted a study on Minnesotans' use of online health information, surveying them about sources, purpose of use, confidence around navigational and quality assessment skills, and gaps in current online health information. Participants were surveyed at the UMN Driven2Discover research building at the Minnesota State Fair. Analyses revealed Minnesotans placed a high value on the ability to access health information online and used it for a variety of purposes. They perceived that they had the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate online health information, yet a high percentage were also unsure about proven quality indicators. The sample was skewed by a high number of respondents who were healthcare professionals.Item Qualitative Research Data Management PA5041(2019) McBurney, Jenny; Hunt, ShandaItem Relationship development to build sustainable research data management and sharing on campus.(2024-11) Marsolek, Wanda; Hunt, Shanda; Farrell, Shannon LPoster created for and presented at the Research Data Alliance (RDA) 23rd Plenary Meeting – hosted at the University of Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica in November 2024.Item Research Sprints: A Model for Collaboration(2019-05-10) Brown, Sarah Jane; Gyendina, Mariya; Hunt, Shanda; McBurney, JennyThis session presented a model for faculty support that focuses on increasing engagement, collaboration, and relationship building. Research sprints provide a unique format for the faculty to work with teams of librarians on their projects, which have ranged from developing course content to building websites and compiling databases of sources. This presentation focused on the instructional design-related requests received over the last two iterations of the Sprints, and described the projects, support provided by the Libraries, and the outcomes. The session concluded with implications and options for applying this model to other contexts.Item Shared Mobility for All? Connected & Autonomous Vehicles and Intellectual Disabilities in Scott County(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2019) Bemis, Corrin; Hase-Raney, Isaac; Hunt, Shanda; Reno, EmilyThis project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between Scott County and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The goal of the project was to research and plan for how connected and autonomous vehicles could contribute to improving mobility in the county. Students in Dr. Fernando Burga’s Land Use Planning class worked with SmartLink Project Lead Alan Herrmann to create a series of research posters that use visuals to introduce the problem, explore precedent and case studies, examine policy solutions, and provide design renderings and recommendations. Research posters are available.Item “A Supernova that Sparks in Every Direction”: A Long-Term Assessment of the Research Sprints Faculty Engagement Program(College & Research Libraries, 2021-03) McBurney, Jenny; Brown, Sarah Jane; Gyendina, Mariya; Hunt, Shanda; Orozco, Rebecca; Peper, Michael; Valentine, Greta; Wiggins, Benjamin; Younger, KarnaPREPRINT: Article to be published in College & Research Libraries in March 2024. This is the accepted version of the manuscript prior to copyediting. The Research Sprints program offers faculty partners the opportunity to collaborate intensively and exclusively for one week with a team of librarians to achieve significant progress on research or teaching projects. This longitudinal study extends previous immediate and short-term assessments by interviewing Research Sprints participants at two research-intensive institutions 2-4 years after their concentrated week. The authors evaluate the enduring impact of the program on the participants’ projects, research/teaching practices, and relationships with the library. Participants report achieving project goals, improved skills and student success, and greater awareness and appreciation of librarians’ work.
