RIM Use Cases Promoting reuse of Pure data

RIM Use Cases Promoting reuse of Pure data, one department at a time http: //z. umn. edu/rimusecases

Where’s Minnesota? • Land of 10, 000 Lakes (or a few more) • Gopher State

University of Minnesota • Largest campus is Twin Cities • Twin Cities = Minneapolis + Saint Paul • Mississippi River runs through the campus

About those Gophers. .

Pure at University of Minnesota • Administered by University Libraries, at the Office of the VP of Research’s request • Launched with Twin Cities in mid-2015 • Sci. Val Experts pilot: 2012 -15 • Added Duluth in 2017 • Added Crookston, Morris, and Rochester in January • But we haven’t told them yet • Profiles aren’t visible, but we’re including faculty on those campuses in PRS

Initial Objective: Help people find each other Collaborations between Science & Engineering and Biological Sciences 2015 -2018 Publications

Initial focus: Get people to engage with their profiles

Fun Facts! Of 3, 794 faculty members… • • • 10% have added a photo (376) 7% have linked their ORCID i. D (262) 4. 5% have done both (172) 26% have logged in at least once (1001) 10% have logged in at least once in 2019 (413) And that’s after a lot of communication effort to encourage them to check/maintain their profiles

Does that mean Experts@Minnesota isn’t successful?

Would I be here if it wasn’t? • We didn’t realize that faculty members weren’t the primary stakeholder • People who collect and use the data are the primary stakeholders Center Managers Dept heads and Deans Grant Coordinators Communication Staff Top administrators Webmasters Data Analysts

How do we reach them? • “Aggressively de-centralized” • E. g. , OVPR deals with grant administration, not development • Every college has its own way of…everything How do they know they need Pure? • We talk to them one at a time, armed with… • Pilot projects • Use cases

z. umn. edu/RIMUse. Cases Creative (and mundane) reallife examples “Reference” information for liaison librarians (our primary outreach vehicle) For each: • What was the problem? • What is the solution? • Contact us! Still in work, and maybe always will be

Keeping Track • Scheduled reports of media coverage and scholarly publications for a school • Using a list of people to uncover publications related to a center • Tracking facility and equipment “contributions to research” when the researchers are external

Reporting Out • Report: List all publications funded by a grant • Report: With whom do your researchers collaborate? • Report: List all publications that used your facility or equipment • Visualize: Highlight inter- and intra-department collaborations • Visualize: Making a case for an interdisciplinary team

Enhancing Findability • Add a list of publications to a website with the Experts Website Widget • Highlight your facility’s contributions to research • Show your equipment is used • Advertise a group of experts when you know who they are • Incorporate your center’s affiliates for a more complete picture of your center’s people and their work • Add datasets to DRUM and link in Experts@Minnesota • Add publications to the UDC and link in Experts@Minnesota
