The Dataspace at NC State University’s Hunt Library opened a year ago, offering a front door for the Libraries’ data science and visualization services with specialized computing and peer-to-peer training and support. During its first year in operation, we worked to assess and refine the services in the Dataspace to respond to user needs, but we have also been able to take advantage of those lessons learned as we prepare for the next generation of data science and visualization spaces at our other main branch, Hill Library, which is currently undergoing renovation. This presentation discusses what we’ve learned by approaching the Dataspace as both fully realized service point and testing ground, how we plan to implement assessment insights in the new space, and how we launched pop-up data science consulting services at Hill Library in order to better serve and understand the community of data science students and researchers on our central campus.}, publisher={Center for Open Science}, author={Partlow, Mia}, year={2019}, month={Oct} } @article{partlow_2019, title={Insights into the patron experience of resource sharing services}, volume={10}, url={https://doi.org/10.31229/osf.io/5qsc2}, DOI={10.31229/osf.io/5qsc2}, abstractNote={Presentation given at OCLC Resource Sharing Conference, Jacksonville, FL, March 20, 2019. ILL staff, as well as library staff working at service points, have a great deal of anecdotal knowledge of the problems and points of confusions patrons encounter when placing requests, but turning that knowledge into useful data can be a challenge. In addition, a full picture of the patron experience must include not only data about the problems patrons experience, but also how library staff respond. This holistic view can help us ensure we are giving consistent information, facilitating hand-offs from the service desk to the ILL team at the right moments, and more. As part of an initiative to improve the user experience of our request services, NCSU Libraries spent three weeks in fall 2018 recording observations of patron interactions related to requested items at all service points in the libraries. This talk will present insights gained from this concentrated period of data collection, called a Service Insight Cycle, and how it has helped us develop proposed solutions as well as targeted questions for future user research. We will also discuss the Service Insight Cycle model, inspired by the software development process, which can be used to take a concentrated look at any service to identify opportunities for improvement.}, publisher={Center for Open Science}, author={Partlow, Mia}, year={2019}, month={Oct} } @article{partlow_ciccone_peak_2019, title={Service Assessment Planning for the Hunt Library Dataspace}, volume={10}, url={https://doi.org/10.31229/osf.io/t4vek}, DOI={10.31229/osf.io/t4vek}, abstractNote={Presentation given at TRLN Annual Meeting, Durham, North Carolina, July 1, 2019. The Hunt Library Dataspace was launched in August 2018 to provide students with access to the tools and support they need to develop critical data skills and perform data intensive tasks. It is outfitted with specialized computing hardware and software and staffed by graduate student Data Science Consultants who provide drop-in support for programming, data analysis, statistical analysis, visualization, and other data-related topics.Prior to launching the Dataspace the Libraries’ Director of Planning and Research worked with the Data & Visualization Services department to develop a plan for assessing the new Dataspace services. The process began with identifying relevant goals based on NC State University and the NC State University Libraries’ strategic priorities. Next we identified measures that would assess our success in relation to those goals. This talk describes the assessment planning process, the measures and methods employed, outcomes, and how this information will be used to improve our services and inform new service development.}, publisher={Center for Open Science}, author={Partlow, Mia and Ciccone, Karen and Peak, Margaret}, year={2019}, month={Oct} } @article{giroux_partlow_2018, title={Intro to Humanities Data: Simple Visualizations for Complex Arguments}, author={Giroux, Stacey and Partlow, Mia}, year={2018} } @article{partlow_craig_2018, title={Intro to Humanities Data: The Path to Complex Visualizations and Statistics}, author={Partlow, Mia and Craig, Kalani}, year={2018} } @article{dalmau_partlow_2018, title={Intro to Humanities Data: Transforming Evidence into Data}, author={Dalmau, Michelle and Partlow, Mia}, year={2018} } @article{partlow_2017, title={Choosing a Digital Method: Mapping}, author={Partlow, Mia}, year={2017} }
