OCLC Research’s exploration of dataset curation• Economics of data integrity paper (Erway, Lavoie)•Dissemination Information Packages for Information Reuse project (Faniel)• Focus groups on motivations, disincentives for librarian support of research data management (Faniel)•What is the “Changing Scholarly Record”? (Malpas, Lavoie)

University of Oxford: research data infrastructure
• Drivers for handling research data at Oxford• Overview of Oxford’s handling of research data• Role of the Bodleian Libraries• Objectives for Damaro (Data Management Roll-
out for Oxford) – JISC funded project • DataFinder and Databank – two key systems • Fit into bigger picture: research outputs
including publications• Disciplinary/item specific context – registered
and safe: not necessarily open
Damaro projectData management rollout for Oxford
DataFinder as the key service for RDM at Oxford

Cornell University – Context and Goals for Managing Research Data
• Current Funders’ Mandates• Office of Science and Technology Policy
Memorandum
• Research Data Management Service Group
• Cornell University Library Institutional Repository
• Datastar Dataset Registry• Cornell University Library Archival
Repository
Managing Research Data 2013-05
• Collaborative, campus-wide organization • Links faculty, staff and students with data
management services to meet research needs• Broad range of science, policy, data and information
technology experts…• Provide assistance for creation and implementation
of data management plans…• At any stage of the research process, including
initial exploration, data gathering, analysis and description, long term preservation and access
