Register *now* for this upcoming NISO virtual conference!



*Research Information Networks: The Connections Enabling Collaboration*
<http://www.niso.org/news/events/2017/2017_virtconf/aug16_virtconf/>

*Date & Time: Wednesday, August 16, 2017, 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)*



Here are what just three of the day's speakers will address:



*Making Sense of the Confusing World of Research Information Management*

*Confirmed Speaker: Rebecca Bryant*, *Senior Program Officer, OCLC
Research, OCLC*



Research Information Management (RIM) is the aggregation, curation, and
utilization of metadata about institutional research activities, and
represents growing resource allocation by research institutions worldwide.
As institutions, consortia, and nations attempt to solve different
problems, their systems, workflows, infrastructure, and nomenclature are
developing in different ways. In this presentation, Dr. Bryant will provide
an introduction to the RIM landscape and offer a model for understanding
RIM activities, developed in collaboration with OCLC Research Library
Partnership member institutions
<http://www.oclc.org/research/partnership.html> from three continents. She
will talk about the key drivers for RIM adoption, and how these have
influenced RIM adoption and scaling in EMEA, North America, and the
Asia-Pacific region.



*Creating a Culture of Research Reputation through Research Information
Management Systems*

*Confirmed Speakers: Scott Warren*, *Associate Dean for Research and
Scholarship, Syracuse University Libraries*, and *Anne Rauh*, *Collection
Development and Analysis Librarian, Syracuse University Libraries, Syracuse
University*



Research institutions have increasingly strong needs to manage the
reputations of their research portfolios. From primary investigator
activities to awarded grants, scholarly output, and related media mentions,
universities need to be able to retrieve and integrate information about
their research endeavors in order to successfully showcase impact at an
institutional level. However, all too often this information is siloed and
not easily discoverable, retrievable, or reusable. Syracuse University
Libraries traditionally provide research reputation services to individual
researchers, but recently collaborated with the Office of Research to
expand this work in a systematic, scalable manner throughout the university
via a pilot implementation of a Research Information Management System
(RIMS). This partnership helped the Libraries demonstrate value in a new
way to different stakeholders as an important member of the university
research enterprise. The presenters will give an overview of RIMS, discuss
the implementation of such a system at Syracuse University, outline
challenges to implementing such systems, and articulate why libraries
should be involved in their operation. The speakers will also address
impacts of the use of these systems, and their complex data needs, on the
broader information community.



*Case Study: From Researcher Profiling to System of Record*

*Confirmed Speaker: Jan Fransen*, *Service Lead for Researcher and
Discovery Systems, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities*



One look at the home screen of the University of Minnesota's
Experts@Minnesota shows that this is a sprawling institution:
Experts@Minnesota includes public profiles for 6,400 faculty and staff
organized into almost 300 research units. At last count, it held almost
230,000 research outputs. Such a near-comprehensive data set brings
benefits as well as challenges. Ms. Fransen will review those challenges,
both initial and ongoing, and discuss the rationale for the 2012-15 pilot
project as well as the current (often unexpected) benefits of the service.
She will also discuss key partnerships and review the Experts@Minnesota
roadmap.



Other confirmed speakers during this August 16 event include:


   - *Muhammad Javed*, *Ph.D., Ontology Engineer/Tech. Lead
   (Scholars@Cornell), Albert R. Mann Library, Cornell University*
   - *Daniel Calto*, *Director of Solution Services*, *Research
   Intelligence*, *Elsevier*
   - *Marlee Givens, **Librarian for Modern Languages and Library Learning
   Consultant, Georgia Tech*
   - *Andi Ogier, **Director for Data Services, Virginia Tech
University, **Virginia
   (Ginny) Pannabecker**, Associate Director, Research Collaboration and
   Engagement, Virginia Tech University Libraries, *and *Peggy Layne**,
   Assistant Provost for Faculty Development, Virginia Tech *

*About Registration:* Purchase of a single registration entitles you to
gather an *unlimited* number of staff from your organization/institution in
a class- or conference-room setting to view the event on the day of the
live broadcast. It also includes access to an archived recording of the
event to allow those with conflicting obligations to still benefit from the
day's content.
