Research Data Assessment • Our goals were to discover: • what data assets are created & held • how that data are managed, stored, shared & reused • researchers’ attitudes regarding data creation, sharing & preservation • DAF Implementation Guide: http://www.data-audit.eu/docs/DAF_Implementation_Guide.pdf • DAF Methodology: http://www.data-audit.eu/docs/DAF_Implementation_Guide.pdf • Data Curation Profiles: http://www4.lib.purdue.edu/dcp/
GT Library Strategic Planning • Develop campus partnerships to collect, manage, and preserve Georgia Tech digital research data • Short term: assessment; data management best practices; promotion & outreach • Mid-term: develop campus partnerships to plan for GT’s data curation requirements & piloting solutions • Long term: implement a suite of services to support data curation needs
Future Directions • Analyze & share assessment results with campus stakeholders • Continue second phase of assessment with data interviews • Continue to participate in campus-wide initiatives to determine services • Develop recommendations for library’s role (particularly in terms of repository infrastructure & cost models) • Recruit campus research partner for pilot project
