Aligning Data Support Services to Researchers’ Needs

March 17, 2022

Ithaka S+R

As data-intensive research has become the norm in an expanding number of academic fields, universities have adapted by offering a wider range of data support services. Previous research by Ithaka S+R has demonstrated that university libraries have been especially active in this space and are now the largest single provider of data support services on many campuses. Anecdotes suggest that these services are not used to their fullest extent by researchers, even as researchers struggle to collect, manage, and interpret large quantities of data. With all signs suggesting that the turn toward big data and data science will accelerate, libraries and other university units will need to continue investing in data support services. Doing this well requires understanding researchers’ perceptions of existing support service offerings and their current and future needs. Building off this spring’s CNI Executive Roundtable discussion of the role of libraries in data support services, this project briefing will share findings and insights from a recent Ithaka S+R study drawing on interviews with over two hundred researchers from dozens of disciplinary backgrounds about their big data practices, with an emphasis on exploring what library leaders can learn about how to align data support with researchers’ priorities.

AMPlifying AV: Next Steps for the Audiovisual Metadata Platform

March 17, 2022

Assistant Dean for Library Technologies
Indiana University Bloomington

Shawn Averkamp
Senior Consultant
AVP

Since 2018, the Indiana University (IU) Libraries have been working with partners at AVP, New York Public Library (NYPL), and the University of Texas at Austin, with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to build the Audiovisual Metadata Platform (AMP). AMP is an open-source software platform that allows archivists and librarians to define and execute custom workflows that combine artificial intelligence and machine learning services with human expertise in order to more efficiently and effectively create metadata for audio and moving image resources in support of discovery, identification, navigation, and rights determination. This session will share lessons learned from the last phase of development work and provide an update on the current phase of AMP work, including packaging the platform for broader implementation, experimental use of the system by librarians and archivists at IU and NYPL across a broad range of collections, and the development of an evaluation tool that allows collection managers to compare multiple tools and/or machine learning models to select the best one for a given task in a particular collection.
