Description

Research data management (RDM) is an urgent strategic priority for many higher education institutions, and a potentially vital component of the library value proposition to the university research enterprise. Research libraries are scaling up support for RDM, and many are pursuing collaborative approaches to build capacity, innovate, and share knowledge.  

If this sounds familiar to you, join us for a webinar presentation that will help you understand how libraries can work together to meet shared RDM needs. OCLC Research has conducted in-depth case studies of three leading-edge examples of multi-institutional library collaborations in RDM (Texas Data Repository, Portage Network, and Data Curation Network), as part of an extensive program of work on the topic of RDM and its implications for libraries. Attendees will learn valuable and tested strategies for making collaborative RDM efforts successful, based on the on-the-ground experiences and practical lessons learned from the case studies.  

This presentation is drawn from the recent OCLC Research report Building Research Data Management Capacity: Case Studies in Strategic Library Collaboration.

This webinar will be of interest to library leaders, RDM practitioners, and other institutional stakeholders.

All affiliates of OCLC Research Library Partnership organizations are invited to participate.
