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 Crowdsourcing a music playlist for curating data(2022-07-25) Marsolek, Wanda; mars0215@umn.edu; Marsolek, WandaCapstone project for Curating for Reproducibility (CURE) Consortium’s Data CuRe Fellowship (https://curating4reproducibility.org/.) My personal project for the fellowship is to acknowledge and celebrate the humanness of data curation. I created a survey to help crowdsource a music playlist from our colleagues around the world of the music we listen to while curating data. This project was supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS - RE-36-19-0081-19 )Item 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.

In order to quantify ways in which DEIA is being integrated into the hiring process, we analyzed 48 job positions for engineering librarians (posted in 2018 and 2019) via deductive thematic analysis, looking for trends in salary and qualifications related to education and academic or professional experience.Item Data Sharing: Natural Resources Researchers Use of Journals and Institutional Repositories(2017) Farrell, Shannon L.; Marsolek, WandaItem Examining Grey Literature Use, Citation, and Creation Practices of Faculty at a Large Institution(2018-12-04) Cooper, Kristen; Riegelman, Amy L.; Marsolek, Wanda; Farrell, Shannon; Julie, KellyItem Facilitating Connections Through the Data Curation Network(2020-03) Coburn, Elizabeth; Marsolek, Wanda; Wilson, KatieItem Faculty Experiences With Grey Literature: A Mixed Methods Approach(2018-10-11) Cooper, Kristen; Riegelman, Amy L.; Marsolek, Wanda; Farrell, Shannon; Kelly, JuliaAs academic librarians, we are acutely aware of the challenges in locating grey literature. In our recent mixed-methods research we surveyed and conducted interviews to investigate how tenured and tenure-track faculty at the University of Minnesota experience grey literature in terms of finding, citing, and creating. The poster will share the preliminary results of our research and will help attendees understand 1) the multiple different types of resources that are considered grey literature as well as 2) other aspects of grey literature including why it is desirable in evidence synthesis as researchers attempt to address publication bias.Item Faculty Perceptions of Grey Literature: A Qualitative Analysis of Faculty Interviews. Grey Journal (TGJ), 16(3).(2020) Marsolek, Wanda; Cooper, Kristen; Riegelman, Amy L.; Farrell, Shannon L.; Kelly, Julia A.To examine the use, field perception, citation practices, creation, methods for finding, and dissemination of grey literature, this study used interviews of faculty at a large Rl university. Further, interviewees were asked specifically about one type of grey literature - preprints - as well as about ways in which libraries could support their overall grey literature goals. The study findings included concerns about the challenges of finding known items and the unstable nature of web pages. Some less expected findings included the use of grey literature in undergraduate instruction as well as faculty creation of grey literature for lay audiences. In terms of implications for practice, librarians could use these findings to inform long term preservation practices as well as access to institutional repositories.Item Grey literature: Advocating for diverse voices, increased use, improved access, and preservation(College & Research Libraries News, 2021) Marsolek, Wanda; Farrell, Shannon L; Kelly, Julia A; Cooper, KristenGrey literature (GL), or works that are more ephemeral in nature and not produced by traditional publishers, plays an important role in research and teaching. Some disciplines, such as economics and forestry, rely on and value GL for how it allows rapid dissemination of information. Additionally, as systematic reviews become increasingly popular in a wider variety of disciplines, the focus on GL has intensified due to guidelines calling for its inclusion. These factors led the authors to further explore the role of GL across disciplines of our institution. We examined the current levels of GL in databases and institutional repositories, and surveyed and interviewed faculty on their relationship with GL. This research found a lack of diverse voices in GL holdings and issues in preservation and access. Libraries are well situated to address these issues and in this article we argue that they should: increase the collection of diverse voices in GL, preserve digital born materials, and provide access to GL. Finally, we offer several ways that libraries can accomplish this goal.Item Groove is in the Heart: Trust and Vulnerability in Collaboration(2022) Blake, Mara; Marsolek, Wanda; Narlock, Mikala R.As members of a sustainable and successful collaborative network, we wanted to remove the magic and mystery of collaboration and unpack the emotional, mental, and technical labor that went into establishing this network. Through a project retrospective, we uncovered the need for radical interdependence, vulnerability and trust. This was presented at the 2022 Digital Library Federation Forum in Baltimore, Maryland.Item 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 Making Data Right: Embedding Ethics and Data Management in Data Science Instruction(IGI Global, 2022) Marsolek, Wanda; Barrick, Katie; Kubas, Alicia; McBurney, Jenny; Hofelich Mohr, AliciaLearning how to wield data ethically and responsibly is a critical skill for data scientists, but one that is often lacking from traditional curriculum. Libraries have a long history of teaching data stewardship and sharing, and, in collaboration with collegiate research support entities, are good candidates to expose students engaging in data science to data ethics. This chapter presents four case studies on how the University of Minnesota Libraries and its partners have deeply integrated ethics into data management instruction. The chapter will highlight ethics for general data management instruction to undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines, human subject data de-identification, qualitative methods and sharing, and biodiversity location data. Together, the case studies show how libraries and their partners are a natural fit to advance the work of data science curricula when it comes to managing data and the myriad ethical considerations that go along with this work.Item Oral History Interviews Data Curation Primer(Data Curation Network, 2021-03-10) Pryse, JA; Harp, Matthew; Mannheimer, Sara; Marsolek, Wanda; Cowles, WindItem 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 Researcher Approved: a Multi-institutional Survey of Depositors to Six Academic Data Repositories(2022) Wright, Sarah; Marsolek, Wanda; Luong, Hoa; Braxton, Susan; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Carlson, JakeThe Data Curation Network (DCN) is a collaborative network of curators advancing open research by making data more ethical, reusable, and understandable. Institutional members participate in and learn from a community of expert data curators and curate data via a cross-institutional shared staffing model. This enables institutions to submit data sets to the network when they are outside of our local expertise or when local curators are busy or absent. The collaborative network model benefits our curators; however we questioned whether there is an impact on depositors. In order to evaluate end user satisfaction with data curation services, we surveyed recent depositors over the past year and a half, regardless of whether they received curation locally or from DCN curators. The result was overwhelmingly positive: we enjoyed a high response rate and consistently laudatory feedback including many free-text responses testifying to the value of curation. In times of tight budgets and constricting services, it is good to have researcher testimonials and survey data to indicate the added value of curatorial review to the data sharing process, and evidence that a collaborative network of data curators benefits us all.Item Retrospectively purchasing ebooks to amplify diverse voices and perspectives at the University of Minnesota Libraries(2022-01-20) Carter, Sunshine J; Clarke, KL; Grant, Malaika; Marsolek, Wanda; Nelsen, KatherineItem Simulations Curation Curriculum(Data Curation Network, 2024) Wynholds, L.; Shimon, Heather; Rios, Fernando; Misgna, Girmaye; Marsolek, WandaA collection of materials used to instruct individuals how to curate simulation data. This is primarily targeted towards data stewards, but can be used by any and all when instructing on simulation data curation.
