RUresearch RUresearch is the research data component of RUcore, the Rutgers University Community Repository. RUresearch provides: • Consulting on Data Management Plans and data best practices • Permanently archiving data in the RUresearch data portal • Work on larger and more complex data needs in grant-funded projects The RUresearch Data Team • Cross-departmental team of programmers and developers, metadata experts, and librarians with disciplinary expertise • Write and manage grants and serve as peer reviewers and consultants for granting agencies, including the National Science Foundation • Collaborate with faculty to make data available and increase faculty research impact
RUresearch benefits • Permanent preservation using industry best practices. • Flexible metadata that can adapt to disciplinary standards and special project needs, ensuring maximum discoverability of relevant research. • A permanent URL that can be used to cite data, indexing in Google and Google Scholar, and links to publications based on the data, all of which can increase visibility and citation of Rutgers research. • Policies can include embargo and restriction of files that contain sensitive data. • Architecture that preserves and relates all components of the research project throughout the data life cycle, from grant proposals and descriptions of the data collection process (e.g. lab notes, survey instruments), to software code and related publications and presentations.
RUresearch: Grant Support The Libraries can also partner with faculty on grant-funded projects to: • Create custom portals to data for a project • Create custom descriptive metadata schemes to provide access to the unique aspects of a project's data • Create tools for interactive data analysis and collaboration The Libraries partnered with the Graduate School of Education to produce the Video Mosaic Collaborative. • Contact us at rucore_research@email.rutgers.edu or visit rucore.libraries.rutgers.edu/research to initiate a data consultation.

Where we’re headed SirsiDynix GEAC KUALI-OLE Rutgers Libraries ILS migration path is KUALI-OLE
Benefits of KUALI-OLE • Improve services and expand access to resources for our user community • Provide opportunity to break down silos of information and integrate our ILS and local repository into one catalog • Better ability to customize the software to meet our needs • Realize economies of scale by providing the opportunity to shift the considerable expense of maintaining individual ILSs to one statewide system • Integrate with the state academic libraries through VALID
VALID Current Status • Install and test potential open-source discovery interfaces for VALE community review and selection • Review cataloging, borrowing, and collection maintenance policies to enable seamless, transparent lending and ensure we have a robust physical collection • Prepare our individual ILS databases for implementation of a discovery interface and migration to KUALI-OLE
Online Presence:Rejuvenate, Integrate, Mobilize • Continuous dialog with patrons • Ethnographic study, focus and test groups • Simple yet elegant design • Disintermediation (direct management of content by Librarians) • JiT help with catalogs, databases, and services • Integrated access to all digital content
New Website This School Year • Biggest challenge: Search • RUL collaborating on a new KualiOLE LMS design & development • Manage without a discovery layer • Yet provide the most concentrated and focused search interface we can • Usability study underway
Baby Steps in a Mobile World… • " or…
A Lot More to Get “Mobilized”… • Library catalog services • Renew, hold, ILL, … complete service, eventually • Mobile-optimized databases • Use content on tablets • Locate stacks • Check and reserve public PCs • Alert messages • Participate in common Rutgers mobile apps
