Welcome to the Data Curation Profiles Community!
A LOT IS GOING ON WITH DATA CURATION PROFILES: THREE (3) NEW TOOLS!
We are in the middle of renovating this space, but we felt we had to share!
The Data Curation Profiles Symposium was
recorded and provides a video overview of
work involving the Profiles and Toolkit.
Additional presentations by experts in the
field addressing curation.

A new tutorial on using the Data
Curation Profiles is available to
anyone who wants to learn more
about the Profiles and the
Toolkit.
Coming soon…
We have a new publication, the
Data Curation Profiles Toolkit.
You can publish Profiles you
write, they can be found and
studied, and they will be indexed
to be easily found and cited.

This website is an environment where academic librarians of all kinds, special librarians at research facilities,
archivists involved in the preservation of digital data and those who support digital repositories can find help,
support and camaraderie in exploring avenues to learn more about working with research data and the use of
the Data Curation Profiles Toolkit.
A Data Curation Profile is essentially an outline of the “story” of a data set or collection, describing its origin
and lifecycle within a research project. The Profile and its associated Toolkit grew out of an inquiry into the
changing environment of scholarly communication, especially the possibility of researchers providing access to
data much further upstream than previously imagined. If researchers are interested in sharing or forced to
provide access to data sets or collections, what does that mean for the data, for researchers, and for
librarians?
Data Curation Profiles can:
provide a guide for discussing data with researchers
give insight into areas of attention in data management
help assess information needs related to data collections
give insight into differences between data in various disciplines
help identify possible data services
create a starting point for curating a data set for archiving and preservation
Look around and get to know the site. You will find everything from the history of Data Curation Profiles, the
Toolkit for developing a profile of a research data set (registration is required), completed profiles from various
disciplines, guidelines for submitting profiles, forums for discussion and resources to learn more about data
curation. We hope you will register, download the Toolkit, submit a Profile of your own and join the
conversation.
