Review of Charge Exercise (link to Jamboard in ORSC Shared Google Drive)

"The Open Research Steering Committee (ORSC) exists to coordinate, develop, and encourage use of resources and services that support open research and scholarship with an overall goal to position PUL at the forefront of support for open research practices by academic libraries. In support of this goal, the ORSC will work with partners from multiple departments within PUL, including Research Data and Open Scholarship (RDOS), Scholarly Collections and Research Services (SCRS), Information Technology, Imaging, and Metadata Services (ITIMS), and Special Collections (SC):

  • Develop and coordinate an outreach campaign to promote new and existing open research tools and practices
  • Develop and maintain a website that provides information and support for open research and scholarship, including a calendar of events, resource map, tools and services available, and contact information for library staff with specific open research expertise 
  • Coordinate and offer workshops and other training events related to research transparency, open science principles, and reproducibility, and maintain a calendar of open research-related events
  • Coordinate with partners within PUL and across campus to develop and support new services that meet researchers’ needs
  • Identify core competencies for staff engaged in open research support
  • Coordinate exploration of new tools that support open research
  • Report on the changing open research landscape and monitor open research practices at Princeton University through assessment and research activities 

In AY 2021-22, the ORSC will focus on:

  • Developing and launching a web presence for open research and scholarship support at PUL.
  • Hosting an event or series of events relating to open research and scholarship."
