data management support services, and while it lives within and is staffed by the library, it works closely with many
other units to be effective in RCR.
We’re assuming that “workshops for each applicable discipline,” above, means workshops specifically aimed at
particular disciplines. Almost all of our instruction sessions with students in discipline-specific environments at least
briefly address citation and bibliographic software. The copyright workshops that we offer (targeted for faculty &
researchers, open to all) are pre-approved for credit in the responsible conduct of research from the Research Education
and Oversight office. One focuses on using third-party materials, the other on managing one’s own ownership
rights. We also occasionally (zero-to-two times a year) run public sessions open to the entire campus community on
issues related to scholarly publishing, or new frontiers in research. These are also usually pre-approved for continuing
education credit (required of all PIs) in the responsible conduct of research via the Research Education and Oversight
office. We offered a wide slate of data management sessions when the NSF first instituted its requirement of having a
data management plan. We don’t currently offer those as regularly scheduled sessions, but some subject librarians offer
them from time to time for their departments. We anticipate ramping up that training again as regulations to implement
the OSTP memo are put into place.
While we have not couched our workshops in terms of RCR, we have for many years conducted workshops on the
topics noted above and incorporated them into course-related instruction.
