"research data management: where are we now?" jenni crossley, darts4
DESCRIPTION
In January 2013, the research librarians at UWE hosted a workshop focussing on the skills that librarians need to develop in order to support researchers in research data management. As part of this day, participants undertook a brief maturity modelling exercise which looked at their library services state of readiness to support RDM, and where they would like to be in 3 years’ time. This talk looks at progress made to date by those services, and includes an opportunity for the audience to undertake an as-is exercise. There will also be a brief overview of UWE’s own progress in implementing RDM support.TRANSCRIPT

From the “Asisinator” to Maturity
• Developed series of questions based on the skills gaps identified
• Adapted an existing maturity model tool
• Questioned the audience
• 15 months later have (to some extent) repeated the exercise.
