What keeps users up at night?
What are “metadata”?
Who owns my data?
How much will it cost?
Why should I care about preservation? I just need a place to
put my data.Are data
included in open access?
How can I share my work with my colleagues?
How can I publish the data associated with
my publications?
How do I fulfill the data management requirements of my
grant?
How can I make sure I get credit ?
Can’t my work be included in the
Web of Science?
How can I provide access to my
work?
Challenge for Researchers
Role of libraries
apply library knowledge and expertise to data challenges: manage, organize, describe, disseminate, preserve information
• Neutral service provider: work across the entire institution
• Intellectual Property experts: dealt with copyright, can translate to data
• Ability to advise on preserving research outputs
• Knowledge to advise on data management and curation
• Knowledge on complying with funder mandates, including open access
Resulting service landscape
Create, edit, share, and save data management plans
Curation repository: store, manage, preserve, and share research data
Create and manage persistent identifiers
A service to collect, manage and preserve Web-published content
Create, share, archive, publish tabular data
Open Access publishing services / dynamic research platform
DMPTool
• Connect researchers to resources to create a data management plan
• NSF and directorates, NIH, NEH, IMLS, foundations plus
• Customizable
Meeting funding agencies data management plan requirements
Primary Functions
1. Step-by-step “wizard”
2. Templates and examples
3. Links to institutional resources and agency information
