CDL
Presenter: Laine Farley
• Accomplishments
– Progress made on all objectives except one (1c) but nothing
completely “done” yet
– Use quarterly checkins to assess progress and adjust objectives as
needed
• Challenges
– Progress on ontologies (1c) and data/journal metric (2b) have been
delayed/deferred due to resource constraints or other dependencies
but do not yet seem unachievable
– A number of objectives are still in the “explore” stage so that
achievability is unknown, and we expect some items may not be
accomplished in this FY due to dependencies on
collaborators/partners

Attended Dec 2012
UC Berkeley
Presenter: Brian Quigley
• Accomplishments
– Developed a robust instructional program for scientific data
management
– Advocated for library administrative oversight of e-research
issues; currently recruiting for an AUL and Director of Digital
Initiatives & Collaborative Services
• Challenges
– Transitional state of the Library and IS&T administrative
structures has been a barrier to cultivating new leadership and
partnerships
– Ongoing library re-envisioning has delayed implementation and
promotion of e-research services as we wait for new priorities,
structures & assignments to be determined
UC Davis
Presenter: Gail Yokote
• Accomplishments
– Key Campus Stakeholders Increased Awareness
– Office of Research & IET Enhanced Relationships
– Future Library Services Potential Described in Key
Campus Report
• Challenges
– Delay in Making Programmatic/Financial
Commitments
– Coordination Time Constraints
UC Irvine
Presenter: Cynthia Johnson
• Accomplishments
– Identified academic partners in departments & administrative
units to work with who are managing “big” and complex data
– Joined Office of Information Technology (OIT) & Office of
Research to conduct more thorough campus survey of IT and
data support needs (Fall 2012)
• Challenges
– Defining librarian roles & responsibilities / Training
– Hold campus summit to learn, explain and share how to best
address eResearch needs for data management
• These are not unachievable, but have been challenging due to the
library’s changing organizational structure, small staff and evolving
campus landscape

Attended Dec 2012
UC Riverside
Presenter: Diane Bisom
• Accomplishments
– EZID Account established for UCR by the Libraries; in use by Bourns College of
Engineering (BOCE) since 2012; The Libraries and the College of Engineering
have interest in developing strategies for expansion of EZID to other academic
and research units on campus
– Establishment of eScholarship site as the repository for BCOE journal articles
and technical reports, with automatic EZID assignment during upload. A
tutorial for BOCE researchers has been created and made available.
Engineering Librarian Michele Potter, worked with BCOE staff to design
tutorial.
• Challenges
– Departure of VC for Research in June 2012; Appointment of new VC for
Research and Economic Development in July 2012
– Temporary Assignment of AVC CIO as Interim VC of Finance and Business
Operations in July 2012. Incumbent does not currently have time in his
schedule to formalize planning for e-research with the Libraries and may not
have time until the position is filled.
UC San Diego
Presenter: Ardys Kozbial
• Accomplishments
– Created an ideal staffing plan for the Library’s Research
Data Curation Program
– As part of the campus Research Cyberinfrastructure (RCI),
working with 5 research labs as pilot projects.
• Challenges
– As data curation becomes more popular, there is
competition on campus around who owns the activity.
– The Library’s reorganization process has slowed
momentum. New resources (people) have not yet been
assigned to the program and the AUL has changed.
