What

will

students
need
to
be
successful
in
managing,
working
with
and
cura=ng
their
research
data?
This
poster
reports
on
ini=al
results
from
a
two-­‐year
project
funded
by
the
Ins=tute
of
Museum
and
Library
Services
(IMLS)
that
is
centered
on
exploring
this
ques=on.
Methods
The
project
is
comprised
of
five
teams
(each
made
up
of
a
data
services
librarian,
a
subject
or
informa=on
literacy
specialist
and
a
faculty
researcher)
from
four
ins=tu=ons.
Each
team
conducted
environment
scans
of
the
discipline
and
conducted
interviews
of
their
faculty
partner
and
his
graduate
students.
Using
this
knowledge
each
team
developed
an
educa=onal
program
tailored
to
their
specific
discipline
and
local
prac=ces.

• All
12
competencies
were
seen
as
important
by
faculty
and
graduate
students.
• Lack
of
formal
training
in
data
management
• Lack
of
formal
policies
in
the
research
team
• Self-­‐directed
learning
through
trial
and
error
• Focus
on
data
mechanics
and
local,
immediate
needs
over
deeper
concepts
or
applica=on
outside
of
the
lab.
Note:
Due
to
the
small
size
and
use
of
convenience
sampling
these
findings
cannot
be
generalized
beyond
this
project.
