Research Data Management Services
RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES
For the rest of this survey, you will be asked about your library’s provision of research data management (RDM) services, which
we define as providing information, consulting, training or active involvement in: data management planning, data management
guidance during research (e.g., advice on data storage or file security), research documentation and metadata, research data sharing
and curation (selection, preservation, archiving, citation) of completed projects and published data.
4. Does your library offer any research data management (RDM) services as described in the
introduction and above? Answer “yes” even if the extent of your services are reference resources
for data management plans on your library’s website. You will indicate the range of services and
any additional planned services in follow-up questions. N=73
Yes 54 74%
No, but we plan to 17 23%
No, and we have no plans to 2 3%
Comments N=11
Yes
Minimal. Information only through a LibGuide.
Some campus solutions even offer management solutions for projects in progress (not just completed ones) and
unpublished data, i.e., embargoed data that may be shared in the future but is not publicly available now.
Some of the services are provided at the system-wide level.
We are starting up these services now.
We have resources and have assisted faculty in the development of data management plans and the preservation and
access of data. The service is limited but we hope to extend if staffing can be acquired.
We have strengths in several of these areas (e.g. metadata design) but are continuing to build and develop a suite of
services to better support all of these roles.
We provide basic level support of research data management planning.
No, but we plan to
Planned LibGuide on website.
The university libraries in partnership with the Department of High Performance Computing are working on a RDM
partnership for fall 2013.
We have done ad hoc data management planning, metadata, and curation support when faculty have come to us, but
we do not yet advertise or fully staff a standing service.
