<p>Hello everyone! Vicky here to bring you some holiday cheer. I thought, since this is our last post before Hanukkah, Yule, Life Day, Festivus, Kwanzaa , Pancha Ganapati, Soyal, the Dongzhi Festival, Christmas, Newtonmas, Boxing Day, Omisoka, and New Years, I could wind down a busy few months by talking about the American Museum of Natural History party season!</p>

<h2 class="blog-post-title">Prove Yourself: Needs Assessment Edition</h2>

<p>What I’ve come to love about the library science field (which after years of waiting tables you’d think I’d hate) is the service aspect to everything we do. Librarians are intensely user-focused in all of our work: through the use of needs assessment surveys, we mold our libraries to what users want, expect, and need. We use the results to design programs, buy technology, even create positions within a library (YA librarian is a thing because of that!). Some common ways to implement a library assessment include  focus groups, interviews, scorecards, comment cards, usage statistics from circulation and reference, and surveys sent to users via email or on paper.</p>

<p>During the course of my analysis, I discovered not only the sheer volume of data (with a substantial number of curators generating many terabytes a day!) but also the diversity of said data, for both research purposes and within collections. This is a big data problem that many research museums are facing. Looking at the AMNH, diversity of data is found not only in the macrocosm of the Museum’s five Science divisions, but also with each curator and research methodology.</p>

<p>After gathering this interview data, I was tasked with analyzing it in order to make recommendations in a larger final report on three essential categories: storage, management, and preservation of digital research and collec-tions data. A related deliverable of my project was also a report on solutions other museums have developed for curat-ing their in-house research and collections data. This environmental scan showed that few natural history museums in the United States take an institutional approach to solving this challenge, largely due to re-source constraints. A popular institutional solution for collections data is Arctos, the community-driven multidisciplinary collec-tion management information system that was developed as a collaboration among multiple institutions and currently holds three million natural history museum re-cords. However for research data, fewer such solutions exist for natural science research and are in development cur-rently. The National Museum of Natural History and the British Natural History Museum are both growing their digital preservation program by building institutional repositories to house their respective research data.</p>

<p>As I continued to develop my AMNH-specific recommendations for storage, management, and preservation of digital research and collections data, I remained cognizant of the community implications. This final report is still a working docu-ment, now totaling over 100 pages. It is my hope that through at least publicly releasing my semi-structured interview guide (which will be in my public NDSR report to be released in the coming weeks), that other natural science muse-ums can pursue the same needs assess-ment procedure to understand the ex-tent and scope of their own digital data—and in doing so, have the opportu-nity to advocate and educate for and on digital preservation in their own institu-tions. Only when there is institutional support can larger community-driven resources be developed and the risk of data loss minimized. </p>

<p>The DASPOS project, NSF funded, "represents a collective effort to explore the realization of a viable data, software, and computation preservation architecture for High Energy Physics (HEP)." But at this point, it's grown FAR beyond HEP -- the workshop so far is slotted to have representation from a variety of fields and professions (like libraries!!).</p>
<p>In addition to a talk/demo during the conference preceedings, Rémi and I are leading three breakout sessions that will allow people to try out ReproZip for themselves, using their research if they brought some. I'm hoping that, with the new ReproZip-Examples, we can get some people at the DASPOS workshop to add their own .rpz packages for us to try and reproduce! This would be the best-case scenario, but it depends a lot on the research of the participants.</p>

<p>Anyway. I'm really looking forward to learning more about some other containerizing tools like <a href="https://github.com/crcresearch/daspos-umbrella" target="_blank">Umbrella</a> and meeting some other folks (hopefully a lot of librarians!!) who are involved in the reproducibilty and preservation space. The community doing active tool development in this area seems fairly small, so it'll be great for fostering interoperability having us all in a room.</p>
