Data management support from the NCSU Libraries


Colleagues, I received this from Hilary Davis in the NCSU Libraries. The libraries have done some great work in helping faculty with data management planning. Please share the following information with your colleagues.

More and more funding agencies require researchers to include data management plans with their grant proposals and share articles and data resulting from funded research.  

The NCSU Libraries provides free guidance to NC State faculty, staff, post-docs, and students on creating and implementing data management plans and meeting public access compliance requirements.  Our consultation includes advice on data types and standards for describing data, options for short-term storage and long-term preservation, and considerations for sharing research outputs and public access compliance.

As a starting point, visit the NCSU Data Management Planning guide:  http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/guides/datamanagement/  

If you or your colleagues are interested in one-on-one consultation or a group workshop, feel free to let me know.  We'd be happy to customize a presentation or a hands-on workshop to meet your needs.

Hilary
