DIY Research Data Management Training Kit for Librarians

Tracey P. Lauriault
I received this from a few sources in the pas couple of weeks, and there are some excellent resources in here for those managing data portals!

Cheers

Edinburgh University Data Library is pleased to announce the public release of the Do-It-Yourself Research Data Management Training Kit for Librarians, under a CC-BY licence.

The training kit is designed to contain everything needed for librarians in small groups to get themselves up to speed on five key topics in research data management  - with or without expert speakers.

The kit is a package of materials used by the Data Library in facilitating RDM training with a small group of librarians at the University of Edinburgh over the winter of 2012-13. The aim was to reuse the MANTRA course developed by the Data Library for early career researchers in a blended learning approach for academic liaison librarians.

The approach combines individual commitment to learning with heavy emphasis on facilitation in favour of long lectures and passive listening. Activity includes reading and writing assignments based on MANTRA; with reflective writing questions designed to put librarians 'in the shoes of the researcher'; followed up by five 2-hour face to face sessions with short talks followed by long discussions; and group exercises from the UK Data Archive, in a private collegiate setting.
Learning is reinforced and put into practice through an independent study assignment of completing and publishing an interview with a researcher using the Data Curation Profile method developed by D2C2 at Purdue University Libraries.

The kit includes:

Podcasts (narrated presentations) for short talks by the original Edinburgh speakers if running course without ‘live’ speakers.
Presentation files - if learners decide to take turns presenting each topic.
Evaluation forms
Independent study assignment: Data Curation Profile, from D2C2, Purdue University Libraries. Resources available:

As data librarians, we are aware of a great deal of curiosity and in some cases angst on the part of academic librarians regarding research data management. The training kit makes no assumptions about the role of librarians in supporting research data management, but aims to empower librarians to support each other in gaining confidence in this area of research support, whether or not they face the prospect of a new remit in their day to day job. It is aimed not at library students but at practicing librarians with much personal and professional experience to contribute to this very 21st century skill.
