  1. Working in collaboration with data centres Elizabeth Newbold, The British Library Presented at: DataCite Annual Conference Nancy France August 25, 2014

  2. The British Library • National Library of the United Kingdom created in 1972 by the British Library Act • Receives one copy of every publication published in the UK and Ireland under Legal Deposit • Collections cover all formats; sound, images, video, newspapers, maps, manuscripts, databases, books and journals, much more • 3 million items incorporated into the collections every year • Over 16,000 people use its collections every day • Grows at 12km of shelving per year • UK member of DataCite

  3. The British Library and DataCite • The British Library is one of the original founding members of DataCite (2009) • In 2010/11 we started pilot projects with a small number of data centres • From 2012 we moved from a pilot phase in to offering a full service in the UK and increased the number of participating data centres to 11 • Slowly growing and as of today we have 22 organisations using the service (with more in the pipeline!) • We provide the DataCite infrastructure in the UK, enabling data centres to ‘mint’ DOIs for data • We work collaboratively with the research data community to provide advocacy and guidance on data citation

  4. Who we are currently working with – a wide range of interest

  12. Collaborative projects

  13. Collaborative projects - Opportunities for Data Exchange (ODE) • A European-funded FP7 project, looking at way to support data sharing • Involved in work streams around best practice in data citation and the role of libraries • http://bit.ly/1cmOy9N • A set of guides for each community on how to better enable data sharing • http://bit.ly/15VHzNQ

  14. Collabortive projects – ODIN (ORCID and DataCite Interoperability Network) Image from National Survey for Health and Development. From their website: “MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL (LHA) is the home of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD).”
