It has become increasingly accepted that important digital data
must be retained and shared in order to preserve and promote
knowledge, advance research in and across all disciplines of
scholarly endeavor, and maximize the return on investment of public
funds. To meet this challenge, colleges and universities are adding
data services to existing infrastructures by drawing on the
expertise of information professionals who are already involved in
the acquisition, management and preservation of data in their daily
jobs. Data services include planning and implementing good data
management practices, thereby increasing researchers' ability to
compete for grant funding and ensuring that data collections with
continuing value are preserved for reuse. This volume provides a
framework to guide information professionals in academic libraries,
presses, and data centers through the process of managing research
data from the planning stages through the life of a grant project
and beyond. It illustrates principles of good practice with
use-case examples and illuminates promising data service models
through case studies of innovative, successful projects and
collaborations.
