Purdue University Libraries How it began

Dean of Libraries (James Mullins) talked to 79 departments when he joined in 2004

He asked liaison librarians to start talking to researchers about data management not as a service yet but as research project first

Re-appointed an existing librarian as the Interdisciplinary Research Librarian

Aligning librarian job titles with key university functions eg. IRL renamed as Associate Dean for Research; Associate Dean for Academic Affairs instead of user services

Volunteer working group formed soon after Data and Management Specialists (DAM Group) formalised in

early 2014 Associate Dean of Research in the Library (Scott) seconded (half of

his pay from Research Office) half-time to Research Office
