Call for Participation: Data Management Focus Groups, Jan. 20th during the CNI Membership Meeting
Data Management Focus Group
Tuesday, April 3, 2012 from 4:00 – 5:00
Severn I, Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel
CNI Membership Meeting, Baltimore, Maryland
Several Federal funding agencies now require data management plans in grant applications, creating a range of opportunities and challenges for researchers, libraries, and repositories as they respond to these mandates. We are seeking the input of a wide variety of stakeholders in the research community about the role of university libraries in supporting the data management needs of researchers.
Your participation will help shape recommendations for the future of data management in research libraries.
This 60-minute focus group will be held in the Severn I Room of the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel at the next CNI Membership Meeting.
If you can attend, please RSVP via email to datares@unt.edu or call 940-369-5331.
The DataRes Project, funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarians grant from the IMLS, investigates how the library and information science (LIS) profession can best respond to emerging needs of research data management in universities. DataRes is a collaboration between the University of North Texas Libraries, the UNT College of Information, and the Council on Library and Information Resources.
