Is this being taught by our Library and Information Schools in SA?
see this slide set :
"Libraries are taking the lead [in Digital Curation] because
• they have a highly relevant skill set:
– they already know about how to organise and document information to make it
easier to find and put into context, so it is not a big leap to transfer those skills
to data;
– they already teach information literacy to students, so are well placed to teach
research data management;
– their experience of running publication repositories can be transferred to
running data repositories;
– they already know how to liaise with departments, and negotiate with
publishers;
• they already have good relationships with researchers, so it is easier for them to
provide support;
• they have been leading the way towards open access to research publications, so it
seems natural to extend that to data as well."
