- 4. Academic Libraries and Research Data Services (Tenopir, Birch, and Allard, 2012): ● “Reassigning existing library staff is the most common tactic for offering RDS. This approach also needs to be supported with professional development for staff so they can gain the required expertise to provide the full range of RDS” ● “When libraries provide research data services related to reference, consultation, or instruction, those services are most likely to be offered by individual librarians or library staff members who are subject discipline specialists.” How do we provide support for individuals in these situations? The Need
- 5. ● “Research data is intimidating!” ● “How can I take on research data support with so much else already on my plate?!” ● “I need practical tools to use to help researchers with their data” But Also: ● “Helping faculty and students with their data is an increasingly important part of my liaison duties” Librarian Feedback:
- 6. DataQ is a web-based collaborative tool to support librarians who are engaging in research data services by providing: ● An online space for assistance and collaboration ● A community of research data experts and subject librarians ● A knowledge base of practical data information for librarians

- 41. Lessons Learned NECDMC Modular format; cases; website with ready-to-go content Too much content; updating Creating MOOC Train-the-Trainers Demonstrations of teaching cases and teaching methods for different audiences; customizability/flexibility Time concerns Pre-class surveys and encouraging customization Flexible Clinical Experience Incorporation of a research project; use of research data management tools (e.g. LabArchives, DMPTool); collaboration with UMMS IT and IRB Time investment and prep for a 1 week course; branding; needed more sophisticated content; one student Incorporating local examples of data management content and activities; increase marketing for course

- 57. Discussion ● How others can do the same or be involved, new initiatives, future training ● Thoughts on how we can create, or whether or not we need, a more cohesive research data community of practice ● Where is there interest in a data services related topic - but little opportunity for support/training? (such as: reaching out to faculty, starting the conversations w/the research office, curating sensitive data, de-identifying/anonymizing data)
