Whos willing to share what with whom? 2007: interviews with 20 data producing researchers found they has similar questions/concerns about their data this resulted in the development of the Data Curation Profile, and became the basis for the subsequent Toolkit. http://datacurationprofiles.org

*D. Scott Brandt. Provost Fellowship, Final Report 2009 (unpublished) small science single PI in a fairly small lab setting Such researchers self report: no specific person for data management/curation; data is likely saved to hard drives in the lab and backed up on CDs, usually by the students. While students have received research integrity training (which focuses on making data available upon request by funder, publisher, or FOIA, etc.) it is not likely that anyone could retrieve usable data easily or quickly.* Single PI/Small lab scenarios

Tell me where is curation bred, in the heart or in the head? To best use Framework for Data Curation Profile training, I need to more clearly identify what is curricular, what is extra-curricular what is requisite and prerequisite if multiple perspectives can be represented how much about digital curation a librarian needs to interview a researcher about her/his research data and workflow and sharing
