Contact Linda Friend or Patricia Hswe for a consultation in any of the above areas.
Penn State's website points to valuable guidance on copyright concerns. Below is a listing of resources created by the Libraries, Information Technology Services, and the Office of the Provost:
The Libraries can help you manage your research data, whether it is to meet a funding agency requirement as part of your grant proposal submission, or to understand more clearly how to manage data for a current project, or simply to get a better handle on organizing and curating your own research data.
We have created a Research Data Management Toolkit to help you get started on data management planning. To consult with members of the Research Data Management Services Team (RDMST), please click the following to send an email to: UL-RDMST[at]lists{dot]psu[dot]edu. Once we hear from you, we can also call on the subject expert relevant to your research to join the consultation.
The Scholarly Communications Services unit works closely with Special Collections and Archives and with Digitization and Preservation to produce quality online collections for the benefit and use of Penn State faculty, staff, and students.
You may find information about our conservation and preservation practices on the web pages of Digitization and Preservation.
In addition, we have a Digital Projects Toolkit (currently being revised), which can provide additional advice and tips on how to carry out a digital project at Penn State, with the Libraries' help.
Much of the work that the Libraries do for digital projects occurs in the context of the following teams:
Scholarly Communications helps manage a range of journal and monograph publishing activities under the aegis of the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing (ODSP) - a collaborative publishing service between the University Libraries and the Penn State University Press. Among the journals published by the ODSP are The Pennsylvania Magazine of Biography and History and Western Pennsylvania History. ODSP also publishes the monograph series Romance Studies.
We have also consulted with the Graduate School on their Electronic Dissertations and Theses (eTD) service and with the Schreyer Honors College on their Electronic Honors Theses (eHT) service.
We continue to advise on scholarly publishing ventures and encourage you to contact us with any questions or ideas for expanding our efforts.
