Faculty survey
In addition to providing our contact information to faculty through departmental grant administrators and our partners
in the institution, faculty can also indicate that they would like a consultation through our internal grant tracking system.
In regards to “faculty/researcher visits library” option: we don’t design our services for consumption at the reference
desk, but we have received some referrals for service via our reference desk staff.
No faculty has contacted the library and asked for help.
Online training and videos
PI generally contacts the library and their needs dictate how the consultation proceeds.
Researchers contact me directly via email most of the time.
The vast majority of the consultations have taken place via email.
Training classes on DMPs, with shared Q&A. This is rather recent, and is still developing. This support is not currently/yet
being tracked separately.
Tutorials, training, collaborations with Office of Contracts and grants
We can meet with faculty either in the library as an appointment or at the researcher’s office.
We extended our Ask-A-Librarian digital reference service to include data management, including DMP consultation,
with special training and routing for data reference questions.
We offer all modes of consultation, but most contacts so far have been in the form of workshops.
