Offered DMP Review Service

Engage Fill gaps Hands-on experience

Does your library provide some kind of support for managing research data?

Does it include writing or reviewing DMP drafts?

Putting the Team Together

“The service was GREAT! It really helped me craft a strong

data management plan for the project! ”

“You put us on the right track towards meeting the security demands of

our partners, reaching out to NCSU’s Office of Information Technology

for a comprehensive data security assessment, and developing our own

internal security policy”

“Thank you so much for the follow up. We appreciate all you

continue to do to help us with our data management.”

“How do you

measure success in

your program?”

What did we learn about…

• research process • learning opportunities • research resonance • campus partners

Supporting the research process

Creating learning opportunities for librarians

Common mistakes

Forgetting to review requirements Not specific about data being produced Proprietary vs. Non-proprietary formats Data? I don’t have data Describing data poorly Data by request or post on PI’s website Share the publications opens conversations Expectations for re-use by others

Are subject liaisons expected to support RDM

needs of researchers at your library?

Working Across Campus

“How (if at all) have you

worked with other campus

partners outside the

library?”

What is the next step/future for library support RDM at NCSU?

Next Steps - National Action

Connect local and national practice Build regional networks

Develop infrastructure for

new models
