Description
Research and scholarship are changing, we need to change our support services accordingly. If we’re looking at data driven research, what does data driven support services mean? What do libraries have to consider and incorporate in their services to address research practice in the 21st century? Increasingly, research data has value outside of their traditional context. Rather than letting it die a slow horrible death on somebody’s computer, we’re now thinking that it really does need some attention, some services, some management to ensure that the quality and the value of the information resource represented by data are maintained, available and preserved long term. The central question is what roles could librarians play in working with researchers to support their data needs?
The Data Curation Profiles Symposium was hosted by Purdue Libraries and was held on September 24, 2012. The participants on the DCP workshop - hat we learned panel were symposium hosts, Jake Carlson, Data Services Specialist, and Scott Brandt, Associate Dean for Research, both from Purdue University.
