Libraries organize information and data is information, so it is natural that librarians should help people who need to find, organize, use, or store data. Organizations need evidence for decision making; data provides that evidence. Inventors and creators build upon data collected by others. All around us, people need data. Librarians can help increase the relevance of their library to the research and education mission of their institution by learning more about data and how to manage it. Data Management will guide readers through:1.Understanding data management basics and best practices. 2.Using the reference interview to help with data management3.Writing data management plans for grants. 4.Starting and growing a data management service. 5.Finding collaborators inside and outside the library. 6.Collecting and using data in different disciplines.

Industry Reviews

Henderson does an excellent job of encapsulating and applying techniques from the growing body of RDM literature, as well as including her own perspective from her extensive experience at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her advice on how to approach researchers and librarian colleagues is very honest, and reminds us that those who are not in “our world” see things in different ways.... The book is strong.... [T]his inexpensive book is a great place to start for anyone not wholly familiar with RDM and its services who has had the “deer-in-headlights” experience of being tasked with learning more and developing a plan for RDM services in their library.
