With apologies for cross-posting...
Interesting looking account of qualitative enquiry into research data management needs in biodiversity studies at Otago University, NZ. Useful, to the point recommendations too!

Subject: [ands-general] Otago Biodiversity Data Management Project Part 2: A Qualitative Report
Dear colleagues,
attached is a report on one university's approach to data management. It was written for an internal Otago University audience, but I have permission from the author to redistribute it.
The six recommendations for an institution are a very concrete starting point for action:
1. Find out what collections currently exist at the University of Otago
2. Find out how researchers currently manage their own websites/bibliographies
3. Develop a ‘support package for emerging researchers’ (in collaboration with others)
4. Capture/manage data now, in conjunction with thesis deposit
5. Lobby for new information professionals/specialists (such as data scientists)
6. Identify collaborative projects, targeting those likely to attract external funding
I hope you find this approach useful. It probably relates particularly to the Seeding the Commons program and Capabilities/Frameworks.
I'm sure that Gillian would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Regards,
