Abstract

The management, preservation, and curation of research data is one of the hottest topics in librarianship today. Peters and Riley discuss their assessment of current data curation practices and grant-related data management plan preparedness on the part of their university researchers, identify the types and volume of data produced by research grants as well as specific technologies, metadata schemas, and archiving practices that are in use on campus. They hope this is a first step towards creating a centralized solution for managing and preserving research data in conjunction with other campus units. Perry discusses digital preservation strategies and curation flows. Gunn contributes to the data curation discussion and talks about embedding institutional data into the researcher's workflow, and the effect of design and usability work on tool usage.
