  1. Sustaining Networks of Researchers: Experiences of the VIVO Collaboration at the University of Florida and The Scripps Research Institute Beth Auten Reference and Liaison Librarian Health Science Center Libraries, University of Florida Co-Authors: Paula King, Linda Butson, Hannah Norton, Michele R. Tennant, Mike Conlon, VIVO Collaboration

  2. What is VIVO?

  3. History of VIVO • Originated at Cornell University • Being expanded for national use through a $12.2 million NIH grant • Seven founding members of VIVO Collaboration – Cornell University, University of Florida, Weill Cornell Medical College, Indiana University, Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute, Ponce School of Medicine

  4. A VIVO profile will allow researchers to: Publishthe URL or link the profile to other applications.

  5. Who can use VIVO? …and many more!

  6. How does VIVO work?

  7. Why involve libraries and librarians?

  8. The Scale of the Project

  9. Sustaining the Collaboration: Lines of Communication

  10. Communication at our institutions The Scripps Research Institute The University of Florida • Regularly scheduled team meetings, as well as all-UF team meetings • Email notification of updates and requests for testing and feedback • Local VIVO wiki with weekly goals and other information • Feedback and questions from outreach visits captured via Survey Monkey • Communication with the rest of campus via in-person visits to departments, marketing and promotional materials, and other media (LibGuide, etc.) • Three VIVO team members on library staff meet as needed • Email notification of updates and requests for testing and feedback among librarians, IT Services, VIVO PI • Communication with end users via TSRI online newsletter announcement of grant, presentation to Library Advisory Committee, national Evaluation Team site visit for usability testing with faculty

  11. Progress at our institutions The Scripps Research Institute The University of Florida • VIVO profiles for all UF faculty and most staff – over 14,000 in all! • Over 8,200 publications and 15,000 grants incorporated in profiles, automated ingest from PubMed and some other data sources • Presentations about VIVO to faculty and students across the health and basic sciences • Ongoing VIVO training for librarians and library staff not on the VIVO team • VIVO profiles for all 200 TSRI faculty, 26 core facilities staff, 15 scientific departments, 11 centers & programs, 16 research core facilities • Nearly 100 publications and three dozen grants entered for a single showcase department, pending national release of data harvesters • VIVO educational data exported for re-use by IT Services in the redesign of TSRI’s institutional website

  12. Planning Ahead

  13. The future of VIVO The Scripps Research Institute The University of Florida • Presentations about VIVO to Liberal Arts, Education, Law, Journalism, Business, and Construction. • Presentation to Faculty Senate • Marketing posters distributed campus-wide • Training for self-editing and webpage development • Linkage between VIVO and UF’s Institutional Repository created • Automated ingest for publications (PubMed) and grants (NIH Reporter) • Daily data exchange between VIVO and IT Services faculty profile database • TSRI institutional rollout with presentations to all departments (dependent upon national VIVO release of faceted searching and PubMed harvester)

  14. The grant period and beyond The Scripps Research Institute The University of Florida • Questions: • Who owns? • Who maintains? • Who funds? • Beyond the Health Science Center • Make VIVO usable and useful • for the rest of campus • VIVO as an information resource • Support like other library resources • Promote to new faculty, post-docs, • and others • Creation of new position: • “Data Steward” • Question: • VIVO profiles & IT profiles – how • will the systems co-exist? • Beyond the faculty • Expand to include postdoctoral fellows & graduate students • VIVO as an information resource • TSRI as a vibrant node on the national VIVO network • Promote to new hires • Leverage & extend VIVO search capabilities to library collections & resources
