This is a talk presented at International Symposium on Grids and Clouds (ISGC), Taipei, Taiwan, March 20, 2015. Abstract: Reusable infrastructure (systems created by one or more people and intended to be used by other people) has become essential for many types of research over the last century, from microscopes to telescopes, and from sequencers to colliders. Over the past few decades, much research infrastructure has become digital, and many new digital systems have been developed. Here we discuss e-Research infrastructure (also called cyberinfrastructure), which has been defined by Craig Stewart as consisting of “... computing systems, data storage systems, advanced instruments and data repositories, visualization environments, and people, all linked together by software and high performance networks to improve research productivity and enable breakthroughs not otherwise possible.” While the research infrastructure as a whole is important, it is useful to consider infrastructure elements as well, as they comprise the overall infrastructure. Each element has a technical context (which allows one to ask questions about its architecture, such as: How does it fit into the overall infrastructure? How does it interact with other infrastructure elements?), a social context (which allows one to ask questions about its developers, such as: Who has developed the element?, and it users, such as: Who uses the element?, and its purpose, such as: What is the intended use of the element?), and a political context (which allows one to ask questions about its funders, such as: Who funds the development and maintenance?, and about its political scope, such as: Is the element national? International?). Understanding how a particular infrastructure element can be created and sustained requires answering two pairs of questions: What resources are needed to create it, and how can those resources be assembled and applied? What resources are needed to sustain it, and how can those resources be assembled and applied? In this paper, we focus on the second half of the two questions, since the amount and type of needed resources vary with the specific element being discussed. We believe elements of e-Research infrastructure can be placed in a three-dimensional space, consisting of temporal duration, spatial extent, and purpose. Note that the number of users of a given element should be larger the farther the element is from the origin in any direction, as should the cost. These two elements (number of users and cost) can be generically called ‘scale’ in this context. Alternatively, we can attempt to map impact, rather than usage, as an element of scale. In either case, scale is thus a metric of the space, though it is not orthogonal to any of the three axes. This talk with discuss how placing potential elements in this space allows decisions to be made on which elements should be pursued.

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library. Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

NCompass Live - March 13, 2024 While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application. Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

NCompass Live - February 14, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Nebraska’s statewide education network, Network Nebraska, has made great strides in expanding broadband services and fostering digital equity in the state. By significantly expanding access to eduroam* in community anchor institutions, such as K-12 schools, community colleges, and libraries, ConnectEd Nebraska has made an important impact on the state’s educational landscape. In addition, ConnectEd Nebraska is piloting innovative collaborations between school districts and local ISPs to expand access to eduroam in unique ways that go beyond traditional anchor institutions, reducing barriers to broadband access and enhancing educational opportunities. Attend this session to learn what eduroam is, where it's deployed throughout the state, and how your library can get involved. More information is available at https://connectednebraska.com/ * eduroam is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the research and education community that allows students, researchers, and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating sites. Presenter: Brett Bieber, Assistant Vice President, IT Client Services, University of Nebraska.

NCompass Live - January 17, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention. Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
