Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

Ever need to help a researcher share and archive their research data? Would you know how to advise them on managing their data so it can be easily shared and re-used? This workshop will cover best practices for collecting and organizing research data related to the goal of data preservation and sharing. We will focus on best practices and tips for collecting data, including file naming, documentation/metadata, quality control, and versioning, as well as access and control/security, backup and storage, and licensing. We will discuss the library’s role in data management, and the opportunities and challenges around supporting data sharing efforts. Through case studies we will explore a typical research data scenario and propose solutions and services by the library and institutional partners. Finally, we discuss methods to stay up to date with data management related topics.

This workshop was presented at NN/LM MAR Research Data Management Symposium: Doing It Your Way: Approaches to Research Data Management for Libraries.  Powerpoint slides are available for download.  files include a biophysics case study.

Terms of Access:  There is 1 restricted file in this dataset which may be used;  however, you are asked not to share the Mock lab notebook. It is completely fictitious. Users may request access to files.
