The video of a well-attended CNI Fall meeting session on “NSF Data Management Plan Requirements: Institutional Initiatives” is now available on both YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo and Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/channels/cni.  Serge Goldstein of Princeton and Scott Brandt of Purdue provided information on what their institutions are doing to support their researchers’ needs to include data management plans as part of grant proposals to the National Science Foundation.

In addition, you can find the presenters’ PowerPoint presentations and other materials on our meeting website at http://www.cni.org/tfms/2010b.fall/Abstracts/PB-nsf-goldstein.html .

I know many campuses are tackling similar issues and I hope can benefit from the work highlighted at our meeting.

Video of Dan Cohen’s Keynote at December 2010 CNI Meeting Available

January 13, 2011

The video of Professor Dan Cohen’s wonderful closing session “The Ivory Tower and the Open Web” is now available on both Youtube (at http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo ) and Vimeo (at http://vimeo.com/channels/cni ).

You can also find a copy of his presentation at http://www.cni.org/tfms/2010b.fall/cni_ivory_cohen.pdf

This is an extremely wide-ranging presentation that I think will be of interest to almost everybody in the CNI community; I know that a number of people who saw the talk live told me that it was so rich, and thought provoking in so many different ways, that they were eager to have a chance to watch it again. Many others were eager to share it with colleagues and students.

A must-see.
