Summary:

Research Data Management Librarian Academy

Launching in Autumn 2019, the RDMLA is a free online educational program exploring research data management (RDM) best practices. Developed by a team of librarians and LIS faculty members who want to share their extensive knowledge/skills and promote research data services, the RDMLA consists of eight units which can be taken individually, or as a complete program. All units are available globally and can be accessed online via the Canvas learning management system. This session will explain the background work performed to indicate the need for an RDMLA and will highlight what will be covered by the curriculum.


Mendeley Data

In partnership with the library community, Elsevier has launched Mendeley Data for Institutions, an open platform allowing researchers to find research data from 30+ repositories, create and publish datasets in a certified repository providing long-term storage, and collaborate on pre-publication datasets via customizable project functionality. Management of research data is becoming increasingly important due to concerns about reproducibility of science, changing funder requirements and evolving disciplinary norms. During this session, we will discuss how Mendeley Data will provide end to end support of the research data lifecycle and demonstrate its interoperability with a university’s and researcher’s existing data resources.
