Subject: CRDDS Seminar: Dr. Myron Gutmann on "How Big is the Data Stewardship Gap, and What Should we Do About It?"

Please join us for this exciting “Year of Data” seminar on Tuesday, April 17, 4-5pm in the CRDDS space (Norlin Library E206):

How Big is the Data Stewardship Gap, and What Should we Do About It?

Virtually everyone in the research world agrees that we need to devote real effort to preserving and sharing digital research data, but studies of data stewardship tell us that there is a significant gap between what we ought to be doing and what is actually being accomplished. In this talk Dr. Gutmann describes a project that interviewed researchers and asked them about their data, about how they perceived the value of those data, and about what kind of stewardship arrangements they had made, with additional questions about how long their data had value and how long they would be stewarded. The results highlight the gap between stewardship goals and reality, and reveal opportunities for new policy priorities designed to ensure sustainable stewardship for data.

Dr. Myron Gutmann is Professor of History and Director of the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. From 2009 to 2013 he served as Assistant Director of the U.S. National Science Foundation, leading NSF’s Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate. Dr. Gutmann spearheaded NSF’s initiative to improve access to publications and data. From 2001 to 2009 he was Director of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan, the world’s largest repository of publicly available data in the social and behavioral sciences. Dr. Gutmann was also Professor of History and Information and Research Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. He has written or edited five books and more than ninety articles and chapters. Dr. Gutmann is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and has served on numerous advisory committees and editorial boards. His broad range of interests include interdisciplinary historical studies, especially relating population to agriculture, the environment, and health. He is widely known for his research on the demographic history of Early Modern and Modern Europe and for his large-scale research program on the relationship between population and environment in the Great Plains of the United States.  Dr. Gutmann also studies ways that digital materials can be properly preserved and shared, and how the confidentiality of research subjects can be protected when data about them is made available for secondary use. He teaches about historical demography and about the social, demographic, environmental and economic history of Europe and the Americas. Dr. Gutmann received his PhD from Princeton University.
