July 14, 2020 - So you want to share data in your (institutional*) repository…
On July 14, 2020, in collaboration with the Research Data Services Interest Group (RDSIG), we had a morning of data repository do’s, don’ts, and everything in-between on July 14th, 2020, in an online format (in Zoom), including speakers and a roundtable discussion. We started with a panel of speakers with diverse experiences establishing, administering, and troubleshooting data repositories who discussed topics ranging from generating administrative and researcher buy-in to cross-departmental collaboration and technical support. It was followed by a roundtable discussion in which attendees explored their experiences with the unique benefits, challenges, and surprises, pleasant or otherwise, of managing data in repositories.
