   all generating more digital stuff than ever before.

6. Senior researchers think grad students and ECRs know how to

   manage data because they’re digital natives... But they don’t! And senior researchers aren’t equipped to train them, either. They don’t know where to start.

8. how can libraries provide value in data services?

9. CONSULTATIONS + GUIDANCE GENERAL RDM •  Organization, naming, versioning • 

   Sharing + openness •  Data formats, metadata •  Security •  Storage + backup •  Etc. OPEN SCIENCE + REPRODUCIBILITY FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS •  Data management plans (DMPs) •  OSTP memo 1

10. + + + S E R V I C E

    S + + + TEACHING + TRAINING •  Data information literacy •  Embedded assistance DATA CURATION TECHNOLOGY •  Storage •  Collaboration •  Preservation (Maybe in the form of a repository, maybe not.) 2

20. connections + community •  Understanding existing structure at UW • 

    Meeting with IT + research support across campus •  Growing awareness within the library •  Identifying researcher needs, pain points •  Engaging “sister groups”(digital humanities, open meetup)

21. building a strong foundation •  organization + documentation •  tracking

    + assessment •  website overhaul •  focus on design •  blog content •  outreach via monthly digest •  social media

22. up next? Teaching and training •  Librarian “inreach” •  Workshops

    for grad students, ECRs •  Data Carpentry Focus on open science + reproducibility Extending existing partnerships

23. not on the agenda •  Repository •  Larger scale OSTP

    response •  Deep engagements with researchers/labs

24. recommendations for starting to build library data services

25. balance out low- stakes campus visibility with robust “inreach” and

    training

32. let’s talk about data consultations! Image courtesy of Flickr user

33. •  Beyond library services? •  In gray areas with many

    possible answers? •  When you don’t know how to find the answer? how do you provide consultations...

34. speaker series

35. host a reading group

51. data comics by Cameron Cook (@cameron_ccook)

52. boldness in RDM-land •  Keep sharing openly about successes AND

    failures •  Approach RDM within a broader context •  Embrace discomfort + an uncertain path •  Work on our elevator speeches •  Stop letting commercial entities take the lead (prevent vendor lock-in!) •  Not fixating on perfect digital preservation over workable solutions

55. the future of data services •  Teams - local, national,

    and international •  DIL/teaching, particularly training graduate students •  Computational focus (high throughput, data carpentry) •  Tied to federal funding requirements •  Curation + preservation services

56. backwards planning Where do you want the library to assert

    value? Where are you resourced? - Consultations - Teaching and training - Policy - Infrastructure and technology

    like?
64. None

65. without an RDM team, y o u w i l

    l always be m i s s i n g something

66. and you’ll feel bad about it.

67. however!

68. being competent + likable is a pretty g o o
