Library have developed curriculum for an
introductory workshop on data management
for librarians. The first workshop took place
on November 10, 2009. Feedback from this
workshop is being used to improve the
curriculum for other workshop(s) that could
be organized and sponsored by the Data
Management Working Group.
Current practices for collecting data sets
in IRs. Many research libraries have built
institutional repositories in order to manage
the research output of their community and
are interested in collecting datasets.
However, there are additional challenges to
collecting and managing data- including the
complexity of metadata, large size of
datasets, etc. This project will review
existing practices for collection data sets
within IRs internationally, assess the
feasibility and costs associated, and
develop a set of recommendations for
libraries that are interested in this practice.
The proposed project would be undertaken
in conjunction with the Institutional
Repositories Subcommittee.
