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."

Academic Libraries and Research Data Services

ACRL has released a new research report, “Academic Libraries and Research Data Services: Current Practices and Plans for the Future” to provide a baseline assessment of the current state of and future plans for research data services in academic libraries.... Academic libraries may be ideal centers for research data service activities on campuses, providing unique opportunities for academic libraries to become even more active participants in the knowledge creation cycle in their institution."
