Date: Tuesday, 16 June 2015 - 9:30am to 4:30pm

Course Outline: 
There is an increasing understanding that data collected during research needs to be managed more carefully.  It is in researchers' own interests to do so, and increasingly funders also mandate data planning.  The scale, diversity and fragility of digital data make this challenging.  Universities are beginning to develop a support infrastructure that will help improve research data management.  Some libraries are already beginning to play a key role in defining and delivering this infrastructure.

Programme covers:
    The nature of research and of research data
    The digital curation lifecycle
    Practical data management
    Library roles in supporting RDM
    Roles of other professional support staff
    First steps in RDM for libraries
    Job descriptions for RDM roles
    A guide to resources and further learning materials

Who should attend?
    Information professionals and librarians with an interest/responsibility for supporting research, especially RDM
    Any professional wishing to keep their skills up to date.
