library instruction module on citing data
Katherine McNeill
Hi fellow SIGDC members,
At the meeting in Cologne, you’ll recall that one of our goals was sharing instructional material, and that I said this might fit into a project that I was doing at work anyway. Well, I have completed my project and want to share my result.
I have just created a short (~5 minute) instructional module on citing data, for other librarians at my university to plug into library/information literacy/research methods instruction as appropriate (in PPT, attached). Again, it’s not a whole presentation, but a series of slides that could be incorporated onto presentations on other topics.
I would be happy for others to re-use it. I think we had discussed having a place for things like this to live (not just in people’s email inboxes), but don’t think we’ve yet set something up (can’t do everything); at the moment not sure that I want it so public as to go on our public site: http://www.iassistdata.org/community/data-citation-ig/data-citation-resources. If/when we have another place, I’m happy to put it there.
So, for now, feel free to re-use (I made it CC BY-NC)—either yourself or by doing the same thing that I am, passing it onto colleagues at your institutions for them to use as a module. And please let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions ongoing.
Sincerely,
Kate McNeill

IASSIST SIGDC Annual Meeting Minutes
Tuesday 28 May 2013, 16:00-17:00, GESIS Building, Cologne, Germany
Present: Dave Haans, Michelle Hudson, Kate McNeill, Hailey Mooney, Elizabeth Moss, Ron Nakao, Mary Vardigan, Joachim Wackerow, Ryan Womack, Wolfgang Zenk-Möltgen
Review of SIGDC charter and review of activities during the past year
- IASSIST SIGDC email listserv for current awareness and discussion
- Updated our list of data citation resources
- Poked Zotero to add “dataset” (unfortunately, not in the latest update)
- Local distribution of the Quick Guide to Data Citation after its release at IASSIST 2012
- Organized panel of invited speakers at this conference: “Data Citations: Linking Literature to Data and Measuring Impact”
Brainstorming session to focus goals for the upcoming year raised these issues/ideas:
- Need for more contact/follow-up with Zotero
- IASSIST Quarterly special issue for Sue Dodd
-
Rethink scope and presence of our resources page
- What is our purpose, especially in light of other very comprehensive resources like the CODATA Bibliography?
- IASSIST can better focus on the social science perspective
- We should add the date last updated and a defined scope statement
- It should be set up so that others can add to it more easily
- It should include data journals and/or policy statements in journals
- Update the Wikipedia entry on data citations
- Engage in outreach to research centers, such as sending Research Data Centers the SIGDC-authored Quick Guide to Data Citation
- Follow up and keep up with outreach to style manuals
- Focus on more training/instruction materials, such as training resources that can be easily repurposed by others. For example, module on how to cite data in a C.V., an instructional video, explain how citation is affected by the data context (e.g., primary vs. secondary data)
-
All of these ideas fit into three main themes for the group to potentially work on:
- Education and Training
- Information Clearinghouse
- Advocacy
New chair or co-chairs
- The terms for Hailey Mooney and Elizabeth Moss have ended. We are happy to help a new person(s) take on the chair or co-chair role. No one stepped forward at the meeting. We will need to solicit a new chair after the conference.
