<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Computational tools and techniques and the availability of
electronic resources online make it possible to conduct humanities and social
sciences research on a level and scale that was inconceivable even a decade
ago. This presentation describes The Greek Key, a working prototype Virtual
Research Environment (VRE) for the analysis of ancient texts and manuscripts.
The VRE was initially developed through a partnership between the University of
Missouri and Carleton University, Canada. The plan is to integrate it into the
more comprehensive Digital Humanities Gateway, a VRE project currently in
development under the auspices of University of Missouri’s Libraries and
Cyberinfrastructure Council. The aim of the VRE is to support research at all
levels and scales and to bring people together across institutions and
international borders. How can academic librarians contribute to new digital
research in the humanities and social sciences? The talk will share experiences
concerning the challenges and prospects in creating, integrating, and
supporting leading edge technology environments.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Biomedical researchers increasingly need basic programming
skills and access to shared computing resources to conduct their research. In
response to this evolving research environment, Becker Medical Library and the
Center for High Performance Computing at Washington University in St. Louis
formed a partnership to support the use of biomedical data analysis software
designed for a cluster environment and to develop a series of introductory
research computing workshops aimed at researchers new to programming and
cluster computing. Demand for the introductory research computing workshops, in
particular, has been very high, suggesting that there is a significant need for
support in this area on campus. In order to meet this need, we have extended
this successful collaboration to include the recently created Institute for
Informatics, allowing us to begin to cover additional topics and further
support the research community on campus.<span></span></p>

Rights Privacy Act (FERPA), and Institutional Review Boards (IRB), are not
effective safe guards for protecting student data in this time of big data and
learning analytics, even in the library. It will then touch on how the
methodologies used in assessment and learning analytics are unintentionally, or
intentionally, misused. The presentation will end with a list of practical
actions that people can take in response to what they will learn from this
presentation.<span></span></p>
