<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>

<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>Science: the final frontier. These are the voyages of Vicky Steeves. Her nine-month mission: to explore how scientific data can be preserved more efficiently at <a href="http://www.amnh.org/our-research" target="_blank">the American Museum of Natural History</a>, to boldly interview every member of science staff involved in data creation and management, to go into the depths of the Museum where none have gone before.</p>

<p>Originally, I had my presentation scheduled for about 10 minutes but due to time constraints on the agenda, it was shortened to five. This meant I speed-talked my way through all the analyses I had finished the Friday before (April 3) while hoping to impress on everyone there that the risk of data loss is not only imminent, but inevitable. Given the questions and comments I received directly after my presentation and in the week to come, I can say this presentation was a definite success.</p>

<p>As the National Digital Stewardship Resident at the American Museum of Natural History, I was introduced to the very specific problems facing museum librarians and archivists not only through observing the Research Library, but by speaking individually with some of the most intensive data creators at the Museum. As a part of my larger needs assessment project at the Museum, I created a semi-structured interview guide that I used to enter into a targeted dialogue with scientific staff members, covering all aspects of their digital research and collections data. Topics included the volume of their data, its rate of growth, format types, necessary software and hardware support, management practices, and opinions on preservation of their data (i.e. what data they believe is important in the long-term). I interviewed close to 60 staff members in total, including all the curators in the five Science divisions at the Museum: Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Paleontology, Physical Sciences, and Vertebrate Zoology.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, this is Vicky reporting from Portland, Oregon! I am here on the west coast for the first time attending <a href="http://code4lib.org/conference/2015/" target="_blank">code4Lib 2015</a>, and since today is the last day of the conference, I thought I’d give everyone a bit of a report about what went on here.</p>

<p>Hi everyone!! So, like Karl, I was recently asked to write a post on another blog (<a href="http://www.mnh.si.edu/rc/fieldbooks/" target="_blank">The Smithsonian Field book Project blog!</a>) and thought, instead of rewriting the whole post and publishing it here, I could just point our lovely readers in the right direction!</p>

<p>A few weeks ago, I attend the <a href="http://www.ala.org/lita/" target="_blank">Library Information Technology Association</a>’s <a href="http://litaforum.org/" target="_blank">Forum</a>. Over the 13-15th, I attended several sessions, explored Minneapolis for the first time, and met some really awesome people. I was, as always, a bit nervous attending a new conference but the organizers had some really great 101-type sessions, and even set up <a href="http://litaforum.slack.com/" target="_blank">a Slack channel</a> which I found to be immensely helpful throughout the day. People organized dinners, discussed sessions in real-time, posed questions, and uploaded some hysterical gifs.</p>

<p>So, for those who don’t follow me on Twitter (go ahead though, <a href="https://twitter.com/VickySteeves"@VickySteeves</a>), I recently accepted a position at New York University, <a href="http://library.nyu.edu/">Division of Libraries</a>, as the Librarian for Research Data Management and Reproducibility. I started August 3rd of this year, which turned out to be great because there were no students around. This may sound bad, but the prep time was invaluable. My partner-in-crime <a href="http://www.nmwolf.net/">Nick Wolf</a> came two weeks later, and together we really amped up the existing <a href="http://guides.nyu.edu/data_management">data management LibGuide</a>.</p>

<p>If you’ve been following this blog for a while, or even took a quick look on my <a href="../../resume.html">resume</a> page, you'll see I haven't been at my position at NYU for very long. January 3rd marks the fifth month (to the day!) that I've been NYU’s official "Research Data Management and Reproducibility Librarian." There was a bit of an adjustment period where I just spent the majority of my time introducing myself to my colleagues, getting to know what my daily workflow would look like, and brainstorm with <a href="http://nmwolf.net/" target="_blank">Nick</a> about what our <a href="http://guides.nyu.edu/data_management/services" target="_blank">services</a> will look like, some good groups for targeted outreach, and what <a href="http://guides.nyu.edu/DS_classes" target="_blank">classes</a> we are going to teach as a part of <a href="http://guides.nyu.edu/c.php?g=277095&p=1848849" target="_blank">Data Services typical course offerings</a>.</p>

<p>I just got back from the most BEAUTIFUL two week vacation in France with my SO, Rémi. Look at all the places we went!!</p>
<img src="../../img/francemap2.jpg" width=100% height=100%>
<div align="center"><img src="../../img/francemap2.jpg" width=100% height=100%></div><br/>
<p>Here's a map that shows those clustered points in the South a bit more clearly:</p>

<div align="center"><img src="../../img/francemap.jpg" width=100% height=100%></div><br/>
<p>Here's the full overview of our trip!!</p>
<p>Rémi is from France, and we spent most of the trip in his hometown with his family. It was unbelievably gorgeous! The south of France is like the promise land for anyone like myself, who loves wine + cheese + food + hiking + beach all in one spot. Since I am a complete and utter nerd, I made a photo book with some text to document the trip. Here's it embedded and well-described! You're welcome, LAM friends.</p>

<p>One of my big tasks since coming into NYU last August was to work on the <a href="https://github.com/ViDA-NYU/reprozip" target="_blank">ReproZip</a> project. My role is largely outreach and education: I was tasked with teaching ReproZip and general reproducibility principles, gathering use cases in a wider variety of disciplines (when I arrived, the use cases were largely in computer science), and supporting users in general.</p>
