17th Research Data Roundtable

17th Research Data Roundtable: July 20th, 10 AM -3 PM

Topic: Building Relationships with IT for Research Data Support

UMass Amherst Science & Engineering Library

Join a panel of librarians providing data services sharing their experience of building connections with campus IT and other research data service units on campus for more coordinated research data support.  How do these relationships begin?  How can you develop them into sustainable partnerships?  What does this enable you to do that you wouldn’t be able to without it?  

The morning panel will be followed by a break for lunch and an afternoon roundtable discussion session to develop the ideas shared in the panel into actionable steps at your home institutions.

Schedule:

9-10 Coffee, snacks, and welcome
10-11:30 Panel and Discussion
11:30-1:00 Lunch on campus
1:00-2:15 Roundtable Discussions
2:15-3:00 Share Out and Roundup
