  1. VIVO: Connecting People, Creating Communities M. Devare, J. Corson-Rikert, B. Caruso, B. Lowe, and the Life Sciences Working Group (K. Alpi, h.a. brown, K. Chiang, J. Powell, L. Solla, M. Schlabach, and S. Whitaker) 5th “Reference in the 21st-Century” Symposium at Columbia University New York City, March 9, 2007

  2. What is VIVO? • single point of access for information on scholarly • activity in the life sciences • uses entity – relationship model to organize and • present an integrated view of Cornell life sciences: • People • Research • Education

  3. Goal Present the depth and breadth of research and scholarship at Cornell, Across the life sciences, Independently of Cornell’s administrative structure • For: • Researchers • Students • Administrators • Prospective students • Prospective faculty • Donors • Legislators…

  4. Background • Genomics (1997) and New Life Sciences (2002/2003) Initiatives launched • Aims: • promote collaboration among faculty • recruit competitive faculty and students • attract donors

  5. The problem • Access to information • Potential collaborators • Competitive faculty/student candidates • Donors

  6. CUL Approach Development of life sciences charge - Life Sciences Working Group Creation of new position – area of expertise - Bioinformatics and Life Sciences Specialist Creation of web site targeted to NLSI needs

  7. The solution: VIVO (http://vivo.library.cornell.edu) Andy Goldsworthy

  8. Sample VIVO faculty profile

  9. Central course listings Workshops VIVO as harvester and distributor Central course listings Faculty updates Cornell directory Grants, publications Departmental seminars Cornell News Service RSS feed Cornell events calendar

  10. Sources of Content

  11. OHR – name & title Sources of Content Student/librarian entry OHR - appointments Student/librarian entry OSP data warehouse Potentially from Registrar’s database Student/librarian entry

  12. Sources of Content Annual faculty reporting Potentially available via faculty reporting Student/librarian entry Annual faculty reporting

  13. VIVO: Research Tools, Facilities

  14. VIVO search Andy Goldsworthy The typical search engine VIVO

  15. Sample search in VIVO: “proteom*”

  16. Future? Expansion of the VIVO-life sciences model to include all Cornell faculty Phase I focus on most likely early partners/consumers • Social Sciences (CHE, A&S, Hotel, ILR…) • Physical Sciences and Engineering (CoE, A&S, CALS…) • International-themed research (all colleges) • Weill Cornell Medical College

  17. Phase I efforts Expansion to full faculty • HR data with appointments • OSP grants for all colleges • Publications (via PubMed, Web of Science, Biosis) • Graduate field affiliations Increase in data gathered via faculty reporting • VIVO providing an impetus to faculty reporting group Integration of additional automated feeds as available • News • Events (depending on calendar task force)

  18. Phase II efforts Data acquisition • Courses • CCTEC patents Individual-specific curation (ideally via college faculty reporting; self-update) • Additional publications (book chapters, tech reports) • Discipline, geography-specific elements • Keywords • Select data from CVs

  19. THANK YOU!

  20. Phase I manual curation efforts Cross-cutting • International activities, Ithaca-WCMC collaborations Subject area specific • Research centers, institutes • Research areas, special initiatives • Major equipment and facilities Individual specific • Photos • Faculty profile, lab/research group URLs • Research descriptions • Association with research areas, centers, facilities, initiatives
