Emerging Tools To Improve Management of Data
About The Training
This Training Thursday will provide a detailed description of some of the newly developed services and tools for collecting and curating research data. Projects in development and newly released will be the focus of this session. Presentations will focus on implementation and systems deployment of these services at your institution.
This session is meant to be a guided, step-by-step session that will follow the Wednesday, August 31 NISO Virtual Conference: Data Curation - Cultivating Past Research Data for Future Consumption.
Event Sessions
Leveling Up Data Management
Speaker
There are many tools available for leveling up one's skills in the data management game (a game where players win by avoiding data loss and pocketing as many coins as possible). This talk will review tools in areas such as storage, file naming, and data clean up, and suggest strategies for battling data bosses that researchers may encounter during gameplay.

Know Your Audience: Knowing what tools belong to which players
Speaker
There are a multitude of tools and services data librarians can offer as part of a larger data services program. But since many data services librarians are charged with serving both library staff as well as campus researchers, knowing which ones to highlight for each group can be challenging. This talk will focus on how to determine what tools will help library staff promote data management, and will highlight some strategies for selecting and promoting data management tools to local researchers.
Developing Campus Stakeholders’ Collaborations and Data Management Plan Confidence
Speaker
Increasingly, researchers are required to develop data management plans detailing the aggregation, dissemination, and preservation of their research. This is particularly true for federally-funded research. The funding, managing, and sharing of research data involve multiple stakeholders throughout the data lifecycle. This talk will introduce the participants to some (1) key stakeholders responsible for effective data management, (2) key components of a data management plan, (3) key data lifecycle processes involved in a data management plan, (4) infrastructure and resources assets to include in a data management plan, and (5) select tools to assist researchers in managing data throughout the life of a research project.

For Online Events
- NISO has developed a quick tutorial, How to Participate in a NISO Web Event. Please view the recording, which is an overview of the web conferencing system and will help to answer the most commonly asked questions regarding participating in an online Webex event.
-
You will need a computer for the presentation and Q&A.
-
Audio is available through the computer (broadcast) and by telephone. We recommend you have a set-up for telephone audio as back-up even if you plan to use the broadcast audio as the voice over Internet isn't always 100% reliable.
