Chance: to establish credibility in a new area of
engagement
to learn new ‘technical skills’.
Opportunity: to get closer to the research community and their
research processes (closer working relationships).
to get your hands dirty with unpublished or raw materials that are the building blocks of knowledge.

10 Recommendations for libraries to get started with research data management
Regrouping the recommendations – Areas of engagement
Support services#1 Offer research data management support, including data management plans for grant applications, intellectual
property rights advice and information materials. Assist faculty with data management plans and the integration of
data management into the curriculum.
#6 Support the lifecycle for research data by providing services for storage, discovery and permanent access.
Infrastructure & standards#2 Engage in the development of metadata and data standards and provide metadata services for research data.
#5 Liaise and partner with researchers, research groups, data archives and data centers to foster an
interoperable infrastructure for data access, discovery and data sharing.
#7 Promote research data citation by applying persistent identifiers to research data.
#8 Provide an institutional Data Catalogue or Data Repository, depending on available infrastructure.
#10 Offer or mediate secure storage for dynamic and static research data in co-operation with institutional IT
units and/or seek exploitation of appropriate cloud services.
Policy & disciplinary practices#4 Actively participate in institutional research data policy development, including resource plans. Encourage
and adopt open data policies where appropriate in the research data life cycle.
#7 ... (with some disciplinary views on data citation)
Skills & staffing#3 Create Data Librarian posts and develop professional staff skills for data librarianship.
#1 … and the integration of data management into the curriculum.

Where do I safely keep my data from my fieldwork, as
I travel home?
How can I best keep years worth of research
data secure and accessible for when I
and others need to re-use it?
How do we ensure compliance to funders’ requirement for several years of open access to
data?
How do we ensure we have access to our
research data after some of the team have left?
How can our research
collaborations share data, and make
them available once complete?
Seeking the real win + win + win + win + win……
