IT is frequently asked where to draft and publish content. BuckeyeBox? CarmenWiki? J Drive? It depends. Are you working alone or working as a group? Is the audience patrons or staff only? Is the content in document form or just text? We recommend the following locations for internal, staff only content. DRAFTING CONTENT CarmenWiki • Collaboratively edit text • Examples: Committee, task force, working group, team documentation, such as meeting minutes and operating procedures • Do not add any content to CarmenWiki that you would not want the public to see (per Institutional Data Policy). J Drive (preferred) • Share and collaborate on files with OSUL staff • Examples: Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations • OSUL hosted. OSUL IT regularly backs up files and can restore lost data. BuckeyeBox • Share and collaborate on files with staff outside of OSUL • Examples: Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations • Cloud hosted. OSUL IT cannot guarantee that lost data can be restored. • Do not store restricted data in Box (per Institutional Data Policy). H Drive • Draft a document on your own • Examples: Self-evaluations • OSUL hosted. OSUL IT regularly backs up files and can restore lost data. Digital Collaborative Space (coming soon) • Stage and collaborate on digitization projects with OSUL staff • Examples: digital reformatting projects, local digitization • Temporary project space. When projects are completed, preservation masters will be moved to the Master Objects Repository. Any remaining temporary working files should be deleted. PUBLISHING FINAL DOCUMENTS Document Registry (library.osu.edu/document-registry) • Upload final/master documents to the new document registry • Option to add narrative, categorize, limit access, and copy/paste the link to the document elsewhere • Examples: Official forms, policies, committee charges, quarterly reports, strategic plan tracker 2 ABOUT THE DOCUMENT REGISTRY IT has built a new, more robust document registry to replace the current one on the old staff intranet. The old document registry will be retired on: December 19, 2014. Learn more about the new document registry with instructions for migrating content.

Key Diversity Residency Program University Libraries has supported and offered a library residency program for recent MLS graduates for many years. The Mary P. Key Diversity Residency Program, started in 1989, is designed to provide mentorship through a successful transition from academic training to research librarianship, to provide the opportunity for exposure to most areas of an academic research library’s operations, and to increase diversity from underrepresented groups for both the academic librarianship profession and The Ohio State University Libraries. The Libraries’ Executive Committee is positioned to begin recruiting for the next resident librarian. The program will continue to recruit qualified candidates from underrepresented groups who recently received their MLS and the successful candidate will be appointed as visiting faculty for a two year term. As we have in the past, we are seeking proposals from interested OSUL faculty department and branch heads to place the Mary P. Key Resident Librarian in their area. If you have an idea that you feel would make an excellent assignment for a resident, please reach out to your department head or AD directly. Proposals are due to Carol Diedrichs no later than December 15 and the selected department will be notified by the end of January. The expectation is to have the position filled by summer 2015. Should you have any general questions about the program or recruitment process, feel free to reach out to Lisa Patton-Glinski.
