Participants

This workshop is intentionally designed for:

• Subject liaisons new to research data management
• Subject liaisons with an introductory knowledge of research data management
• Senior library administrators, managers, department heads, and technical services librarians interested in research data management principles

We encourage hosts to consider inviting relevant campus partners such as research staff, program managers, IRB staff, or campus IT services interested in supporting research data management to this workshop.

Learning Objectives

Workshop participants will be able to:

• Identify data within the research process and lifecycle in order to articulate the role of the libraries in the management of data to researchers.
• Learn how to develop expertise in the nuances of disciplinary requirements for data management in order to educate their faculty and students about data best practices for their discipline.
• Articulate specific existing skills that they already possess as librarians which transfer to data services in order to begin building a toolkit of research data management skills.
• Identify campus partners in research data management in order to create an environment of research data management support for their faculty.
• Articulate the parts of a data management plan in order to describe its role as a living document within a research project.
• Apply their relevant prior knowledge of their disciplines in order to create a research data management interview plan in order to facilitate faculty engagement

Here's what participants are saying!

“I feel so much more confident now about working with faculty and data management plans.”

“This is an AMAZING workshop. It really starts from the beginning and brings everyone to a common point of understanding. It is a perfect learning opportunity for my small library/colleagues to figure out how we fit in using our existing skills.”

“I'm more confident now in my ability to approach faculty and other stakeholders about data management in a way that is thoughtful and thorough.”

“All of the different aspects to data management were made much more clear!”

“As one who does not specialize in data management, I appreciated that there was material for all levels of involvement.”

“I think the handouts were excellent. I plan to use a number of these in my work (either to help structure my thinking or give me action items). I also really appreciated all the different active learning activities and will be looking to use some of those in my own classes! Thank you!”

“Really good workshop, well run, and I enjoyed in particular hearing from the researchers on what kind of data they actually collected.”
