You might find a Webinar I recently attended valuable.   Research Data Management and Workflows in Universities - Transforming Data to Knowledge All over the world universities and libraries have started the task of developing research data services. Ideally such initiatives aim to result in a complete service portfolio covering the entire research life cycle: support in writing proposals and data management plans, repository infrastructures for the storage of data, support in publishing data, assignment of persistent identifiers, and lecturing in data management. This broad scope means that such services are often seen as requiring a joint effort from university, library, IT centre, faculties and other stakeholders. In this webinar we will learn from 3 US universities on the services and infrastructure they provide for research data for their researchers and learn from their experience and challenges they have identified.

The Inventor Assistance Program (IAP) is now available to inventors in South Dakota. This program provides legal assistance to low-income inventors and nonprofits. The LegalCORPS IAP, supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, matches eligible inventors with experienced patent attorneys who provide assistance at no charge. Financial guidelines for this program stipulate that an inventor’s household income must be 300% or less of the federal poverty level. The Devereaux Library is the only United States Patent and Trademark Resources Center in the state of South Dakota. We will be happy to connect you with this service and the many other resources of the federal Patent and Trademark Office.
