Research Data Services
I specialize in research data management needs of smaller educational institutions, but I am interested in academic data services projects of all shapes and sizes. Do you have researchers who are inquiring about data science skills, connecting to cloud computing services, uncertainty about research data storage best practices, or worries about data access and preservation? Are you a researcher who is up at night worrying about complex dataset cleanup and change tracking, or storage and retention planning? I can help. Whether you need to backfill specific services during a time of staff changeover or plan from the ground up, I’m an experienced research data management librarian and program planner.
I can:
- Clean, wrangle, and develop storage and retention plans for research datasets.
- Conduct environmental scans of user needs and priorities at your institution.
- Research and write strategic plans and program roadmaps for your research data management or scholarly communications needs.
- Advise on the creation of data management plans (DMPs) for all major US funding agencies, and do initial DMP Tool setup for your institution.
- Design and deliver complete training programs in data processing and management skills for higher education audiences, from undergraduate through faculty learners.
- Design and deliver train-the-trainer experiences in the above critical research data processing and management skills for your library, technology, and sponsored research staff.
