ALCTS webinar: Research Data Discovery: Developing a Data Catalog

Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2019

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 AM Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 PM Central, and 2 PM Eastern time.

Description: Research data sharing is required by many funding entities
including US government agencies and foundations. Many datasets reside in
repositories on the web but not all. Some researchers store data on local
area networks, hard drives, and even flash drives. This data should also be
discoverable. The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), Health Sciences
and Human Services Library, created an institutional data catalog to
capture datasets created by UMB researchers regardless of where the
datasets reside. This presentation will introduce participants to the
process of developing a data discovery tool. It will provide background
information about the project and the Data Catalog Collaboration Project
(DCCP), a multi-university initiative. It will also outline resources such
as personnel and technology needed to develop a data catalog; provide
strategies for outreach at both organizational and individual levels;
review steps in building records including the development of a template,
challenges of dataset description, metadata assignment, and the development
of a workflow. Finally, it will include a discussion of challenges and
lessons learned throughout the process.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, the attendees should be able to:

• Identify resources needed to develop a data catalog

• List strategies for outreach

• Develop a workflow for creating records

• Identify challenges in implementing a data catalog
