Data management


At the International ETD Conference held two weeks ago in Cape Town, some mention was made about data management and the role of librarians in this process. Some research funding bodies in the US (and elsewhere I assume) have now started to request a data management plan as part of a funding request proposal for intended research.


The following clip titled 'Riding the Data Wave: Research Libraries' Role and Response' speak to data management and how the processed is managed through librarians. Even the NRF is contemplating moving in this direction soon as part of the funding requests.
