The Purdue University Research Repository (PURR, http://research.hub.purdue.edu) uses HUBzero to provide a research collaboration and data management solution for campus researchers. The National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other funding agencies have begun requiring that researchers describe in their grant proposals how they will manage and share the data that will be produced in their research. Purdue researchers can include PURR in their data management plans, invite collaborators to work with them in private projects on PURR, and publish datasets that can be cited using Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). This presentation will explore Purdue's data repository service model including its service definition, governance, roles and responsibilities, workflows, policies, and support, in addition to the functional role of HUBzero. The collaborative approach of the Purdue University Libraries, Office of the Vice President for Research, and Information Technology at Purdue in developing and maintaining PURR will also be presented. Support for the entire research data lifecycle – from the creation of datasets to their long-term digital preservation and eventual reuse – will be displayed in a live demonstration that will include an overview of the project functionality and dataset publication that was developed for PURR.

Courtney Matthews is the Digital Data Repository Specialist with the Purdue University Research Repository (PURR). PURR is the online research data management and collaboration platform for Purdue researchers. Courtney coordinates the daily operation of the PURR project, including campus outreach and advocacy, data management planning consultation, and collaboration with subject specialist Librarians to enable researchers to better steward their data.

Courtney graduated from the University of King's College / Dalhousie University with an Honors Degree in History in 1999. He then completed an MLIS from the Dalhousie University School of Information Management in May of 2010. From May 2010 till July 2012 he has worked on the Islandora Project at the University of Prince Edward Island's Robertson Library in multiple capacities. As Community Liaison Librarian he managed the Telling Island Stories (TIS) project. TIS is the mobile (iPad) overlay for the Fedora/Drupal based Islandora digital preservation framework. Courtney is excited to be attending and speaking at Hubbub for the first time.
