Item Academic Librarians and Academic Freedom Survey Data(2021-08-14) Leebaw, Danya; Logsdon, Alexis; leeba005@umn.edu; Leebaw, Danya; University of Minnesota LibrariesThe data is a spreadsheet downloaded from survey responses in Qualtrics. The authors surveyed academic librarians about their attitudes toward and experiences with academic freedom in their workplaces. Of the nearly 750 people who began the survey, just under 600 qualified for the survey as current academic library employees who gave their consent to the survey. The authors have only included the survey data for this subset of respondents. Also included is a set of comments made in an optional free-text field at the end of the survey. They are presented separate from their authors’ survey responses to ensure anonymity.Item continuum 1 Fall 2005(2005) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 2 Spring 2006(2006) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 3 Summer 2006(2006) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 4 Fall 2006(2006) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 5 Spring 2007(2007) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 6 Fall 2007(2007) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem continuum 7 Fall 2008(2008) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem Data underlying (The relationship between methodological quality and the use of retracted publications in evidence syntheses)(2022-09-08) Bakker, Caitlin; Theis-Mahon, Nicole; Brown, Sarah Jane; theis025@umn.edu; Theis-Mahon, Nicole; University of Minnesota LibrariesData consists of two csv files for a set of 310 systematic reviews/evidence syntheses (methods of identification outlined in Brown et al.) Methodological quality of the systematic review/evidence synthesis was assessed using AMSTAR 2 criteria. Citation meaning was assessed using previous mapping of the Retraction Watch Database’s reason for retraction to a modified version of Bar Ilan and Halevi’s taxonomy of reasons for retraction.

Mellon Foundation to develop a multi-dimensional model for assessing support for scholarship in the context of a large research campus. The project team explored discipline-specific needs for facilities, information content, services, tools, and expertise in the humanities and social sciences. The goal was to develop a model for bringing greater coherence to these distributed resources through physical and virtual means, and also a research support environment that could be modeled, prototyped, and evaluated. The study is also being used to assist the academic leadership in understanding how libraries can promote the physically boundless nature of inquiry and information use.Item Strategic Plan for Research Data Services at the University of Minnesota Libraries(2019) University of Minnesota LibrariesBased on evidence of need from in-person campus stakeholder discussions in 2017 and an environmental scan of 24 reports (2004-2018) we identified six broad categories and 18 themes that are near-term priorities for Research Data Service (RDS) at the University of Minnesota Libraries.Item The Supporting Documentation for Implementing the Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM): A Business Model, Functional Requirements, and Metadata Schema(2015-04) University of Minnesota LibrariesThe University Libraries launched the Data Repository for the University of Minnesota (DRUM) in November 2014. This service was developed and implemented by a group in the libraries called the Data Management and Curation Initiative (DMCI) with sponsorship by John Butler (Associate University Librarian for Data & Technology). The project team included Lisa Johnston (Project Lead), Jon Nichols (Technology Lead), Josh Bishoff, Steven Braun, Carol Kussmann, Francine Dupont Crocker, Kevin Dyke, Stephen Hearn, Alicia Hofelich-Mohr, Eric Larson, Erik Moore, Arvid Nelsen, Carolyn Rauber, Justin Schell, Bill Tantzen, and Amy West. The work products of the group presented here include the DMCI Business and Service Model that defines the draft policies, rational for data management and curation services, a proposed staffing model for distributed data curation, and initial first year budget. Other supporting documents for the launch of the repository include the Service and Functional Requirements that led the development of DRUM in the DSpace software (V 4.2) and the metadata schema, based on dublin core, for the data repository submission form and public access record.Item Supporting the Lifecycle of Knowledge: Strategic Priorities for the University Libraries, November 2010(University of Minnesota, 2010-11) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem Towards Open Access at the University of Minnesota(2021) University of Minnesota LibrariesItem Understanding Research Behaviors, Information Resources, and Service Needs of Scientists and Graduate Students: A Study by the University of Minnesota Libraries(University of Minnesota Libraries, 2007-06) University of Minnesota LibrariesIn September 2006, the Libraries embarked upon a series of studies of University of Minnesota scientists and graduate students in the sciences in order to understand and incorporate their unique information needs into projects already underway at the Libraries, and to develop new services and tools where needed. Through focus groups and interviews with over 70 deans, faculty members, and graduate students representing departments on the Twin Cities’ campuses, from the Institute of Technology (a college that includes physical science departments and engineering), the College of Biological Sciences, the College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences, and the Academic Health Center (which includes six health sciences schools and colleges and the University of Minnesota Duluth department of Pharmacy), the study concluded in May 2007.Item
