Renaine JulianMarch 13, 2014
Overview• Defining research data• Current trends in data
librarianship• Data management and the data
lifecycle• Issues in data librarianship• Applications for FSU Libraries
Research data defined
• “Data are outputs of research, inputs to scholarly publications and inputs to subsequent research and learning” (Borgman 2007)
• Data’s double role:– Product– Source
Trends in Data Librarianship
• Data curation
• Data management planning
• Data collection and aggregation
• Imbedded Librarianship
Data Curation• Data Types
– Digital content from libraries– Administrative– Primary research data
(Neubaer (2011)
• Preserving primary data– Unique observations– Enhancing future research
Data management defined
“the development and execution of architectures, policies, practices and procedures that properly manage the full data lifecycle needs of an enterprise.“ (Mosley 2007)
Data Lifecycle
Block and Kramer (2010)
Data Management Plan• Basic Elements:
1. Types of data produced2. Data and metadata standards3. Policies for access and sharing4. Policies for re-use and distribution

• Funding Requirements– National Science Foundation – National Institute of Health
Data Wranglers
• Small Data vs. Big Data• Aggregating project and
discipline specific resources• Finding the hard to find
An “Informationist”• Part of active research team• Combination of LIS and subject
matter expertise• Roles
– Advice on DM and Curation– Meta-analysis and systematic reviews– Biliometric and network analysis

Access and Collaboration• Faculty Engagement
– FSU Faculty– Other institutions
• Open Access/Open Analysis
• Data’s potential value

Issues in Data Librarianship
• Making faculty aware of data research services
• Lack of expertise in LIS field
• Librarians in competition
• Possible pushback
Government Data• US Census
– American Fact Finder– TIGER
• Federal Government • State Agencies• Local Government
