ACRL-NEC’s Scholarly Communication Interest Group & Research Data Services Interest Group are excited to announce the 12th Research Data Management Roundtable
Tuesday, July 14th, 2020
Virtual Roundtable via Zoom
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
So you want to share data in your (institutional*) repository…
Join us for a morning of data repository do’s, don’ts, and everything in-between on July 14th, 2020, in an online format (in Zoom) that will include speakers and a roundtable discussion. We will start with a panel of speakers with diverse experiences establishing, administering, and troubleshooting data repositories who will discuss topics ranging from generating administrative and researcher buy-in to cross-departmental collaboration and technical support. This will be followed by a roundtable discussion in which attendees will explore their experiences with the unique benefits, challenges, and surprises, pleasant or otherwise, of managing data in repositories.
Registration is now open! Please visit our Eventbrite page to register. Space is limited.
Location: Virtual roundtable via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent to registrants closer to the date.

Kristin Lee is the Research Data Librarian at the Tisch Library, Tufts University.

Representatives from Dataverse will also speak on the panel. Dataverse is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyze research data. It facilitates making data available to others, and allows you to replicate others' work more easily. Dataverse has been developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), along with many collaborators and contributors worldwide.
We are hoping to have an informative and engaging day and look forward to seeing you!
