Robin Rice presented on guiding users through data deposit from the perspective of a data librarian. The presentation covered supporting data users throughout the research lifecycle, fostering a culture of responsible sharing through training, and incentivizing open data sharing through easy-to-use repository services. It also discussed balancing the needs of a multi-disciplinary institutional repository to accommodate different domains while striving for FAIR data principles and lowering barriers to deposit. An online demo of user documentation for the Edinburgh DataShare repository was provided.
