The Indiana University Digital Preservation Service Planning Project, a collaborative effort involving the IU Bloomington Libraries, the IUPUI University Library, and UITS, and was launched on July 24, 2020 to address two significant needs. First, as a growing number of campus units acquire and create digital collections, there are increased opportunities for variations in practice and the duplication of resources and effort to maintain these materials. Second, while IU has successfully preserved digital collections for decades, current solutions do not always align with emerging professional best practices. The project will respond to these issues by documenting functional and technical requirements appropriate to the IU community as well as exploring funding and governance models that would support a university-wide service. Upon completion of the project in January 2021, the team plans to seek approval to move forward with the implementation of their recommendations. This presentation will provide an overview of the project goals and deliverables as well as updates on current work. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and provide feedback.

Securing research data, especially meeting new and stricter regulatory and other cybersecurity requirements, is becoming a challenge for both researchers and campus units at IU that support research. To help them navigate this complex landscape, IU is launching SecureMyResearch, a collaborative effort by the Center of Applied Cybersecurity Research (CACR), the Information Security division within the Office of the Vice President for IT, and UITS Research Technologies. Its goal is to accelerate research by empowering researchers with a resource that reduces both their cybersecurity and compliance burden and risk to regulated and open research data at IU. This presentation will describe SecureMyResearch and how it aims to weave research data security and compliance into the institutional fabric.
