  The Map Scanning Registry, http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu, was created in 2006 in response to discussions at the Map Libraries in Transition Conference, where attendees expressed a need to find out what map scanning projects are being planned, in process or completed to avoid duplication of effort. At about the same time, WAML developed the Scanning Projects Clearinghouse. In 2012, MAGIRT and WAML agreed to combine the two sites together, records from the Scanning Projects Clearinghouse were added to the Map Scanning Registry. The Registry has been available for 13 years, is it still needed? How often do librarians refer to it? Does it need to be revamped, is there additional information that could be included to make it more useful? This presentation will describe the registry, provide usage statistics, share the results of a recent survey, and conclude with an open discussion on the future of the Map Scanning Registry.

  The development of efficient data management and curation services will allow researchers to devote more time to research, support the goal of developing a research data ecosystem that facilitates data reproducibility, and have a positive impact on the institution’s overall prestige and success in obtaining grant funds. The University of Arizona (UA) Libraries, in collaboration with the UA Office of Research, Discovery, and Innovation and the UA University Information and Technology Services, has been providing data management services to campus for the past several years. Are we providing data management services that UA researchers need, what other services should we offer? To answer these questions, we conducted a campus survey, followed up with the Data Management and Data Curation Pilot. The pilot, working with research projects from education, wildlife biology, entomology, cancer research, and public health, provided an in-depth assessment of specific services, tools, training, support, and technology infrastructure researchers need to effectively and efficiently manage and curate their research data. This presentation will provide details on the research projects involved with the pilot, what services and tools were implemented, results of exit interviews with each research project, development of general and specific recommendations, and progress toward implementation. https://osf.io/fsx4t/

  The past several years has seen an increasing emphasis on providing access to the results of research, both publications and data. The majority of federal grant funding agencies require that researchers include a data management plan as part of their grant proposal. In response, the University of Arizona Libraries, in collaboration with the Office of Research and Discovery and the University Information Technology Services, has been providing data management services and resources to the campus for the past several years. In 2014, we conducted a research data management survey to find out how UA researchers manage their research data, determine the demand for existing services and identify new services that UA researchers need. In the fall of 2015, the Data Management and Data Publication and Curation (DMDC) Pilot was started to determine what specific services and tools, including training and support and the needed technology infrastructure, researchers need to effectively and efficiently manage and curate their research data. This presentation will present what data management services we currently are offering, discuss findings from the 2014 survey, and present initial results from the DMDC pilot.

  Imagine the future: a century of Mexican and Mexican-American newspapers and magazines digitized and freely-available online for researchers and the community to read. Come hear about how a project at the University of Arizona Libraries has accomplished this! The Historical Mexican and Mexican-American Press project focused on digitizing publications from Tucson, El Paso, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sonora, Mexico, ranging from the mid-1800s through the 1980s. These newspapers and magazines covered important events in Mexican-American history, from the Mexican Revolution to the Bracero Program to the Chicano Movement. The presenters will discuss the origin of the project, selection of the publications for digitization, and challenges experienced during the project. We will also show the digitized newspapers and talk about the impact of making them available online.

  Are you or the researchers you work with writing a grant proposal that requires a data management plan? Are you working on a research project and have questions about how to effectively and efficiently manage your research data? Are you interested in sharing your data with other researchers? We can help! For the past several years, the University of Arizona (UA) Libraries, in collaboration with the Office of Research and Discovery and the University Information Technology Services, has been providing data management services and resources to the campus. We are interested in tailoring our services and resources to what you need. We conducted a research data management survey in 2014 and are currently working on the Data Management and Data Curation and Publication (DMDC) pilot. This poster will describe what data management and curation services we are currently providing, and ask for your feedback on potential new data management services and resources.
