20. Inaccessible files Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University 4/4/2013

21. Younger faculty More likely to use cloud-based services Less likely to curate / cull personal information collections Older faculty More likely to save web sites, images, and email collections Initial Findings Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University 4/4/2013

22. Challenges within the Workflow 4/4/2013

23. Interview Findings • Data Management • Big problem across disciplines • Inadequate institutional services • Lack of funding • Privacy and sustainability • Fragmentation and accessibility • Curation and annotation 4/4/2013 Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University

24. Need for linked data and linked practices. Repository should also have annotation functions, sharing, personal profile … "I want [a tool] to get my full research circle closed, where I can go from searching through annotation and everything else to publication.” "I use Dropbox for everything. It has saved my life, it has changed my life." Interview Findings Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University 4/4/2013

25. Broader issues: Lack of training Lack of workflow awareness Lack of reward Interview findings Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University 4/4/2013

26. Integrating personal archiving into the online workflow Connecting discovery to the scholarly workflow Identification of critical digital literacies for faculty management of online scholarly workflow Initial outputs Ellysa Stern Cahoy -- Penn State University 4/4/2013
