librarianship• Data management and the data

lifecycle• Issues in data librarianship• Applications for FSU Libraries

Page 3: Trends in data librarianship

Research data defined

• “Data are outputs of research, inputs to scholarly publications and inputs to subsequent research and learning” (Borgman 2007)

• Data’s double role:– Product– Source

Page 4: Trends in data librarianship

Trends in Data Librarianship

• Data curation

• Data management planning

• Data collection and aggregation

• Imbedded Librarianship

Page 5: Trends in data librarianship

Data Curation• Data Types

– Digital content from libraries– Administrative– Primary research data

(Neubaer (2011)

• Preserving primary data– Unique observations– Enhancing future research

Page 6: Trends in data librarianship

Data management defined

“the development and execution of architectures, policies, practices and procedures that properly manage the full data lifecycle needs of an enterprise.“ (Mosley 2007)

Data Lifecycle

Block and Kramer (2010)

Data Management Plan• Basic Elements:

1. Types of data produced2. Data and metadata standards3. Policies for access and sharing4. Policies for re-use and distribution

• Funding Requirements– National Science Foundation – National Institute of Health

Data Wranglers

• Small Data vs. Big Data• Aggregating project and

discipline specific resources• Finding the hard to find

Page 10: Trends in data librarianship

An “Informationist”• Part of active research team• Combination of LIS and subject

matter expertise• Roles

– Advice on DM and Curation– Meta-analysis and systematic reviews– Biliometric and network analysis
