Description
2 presentations:
1. Data Curation in a Research Library: A Start-Up Story
Patricia Hswe, Penn State University
(31 minutes)
2. Wading into the Data Pool: Engaging with data management without drowning...hopefully
Yasmeen Shorish, James Madison University
(30:42 to 1 hour and 6 mins)
Participants in this event, which is approved for MLA Continuing Education credit (1.5 hours), will gain a working knowledge of the need for data curation; a greater understanding of the role of libraries in data management planning; the experiences of two specific libraries with their researchers’ data management needs; and where to find resources for help, including examples from ARL libraries and data management planning guides created by National Science Foundation directorates. With the participation of attendees, we will also explore how data curation applies in different settings, such as hospitals.
