Roadmaps, Roles and Re-engineering: Developing Data Informatics Capability in Libraries
The document outlines the development of data informatics capabilities in libraries, with a focus on data management planning and infrastructure to support researchers. It emphasizes the need for libraries to transition from traditional roles to data-savvy services and highlights findings on the current state of research data management. The text also discusses institutional responsibilities, the importance of advocacy, and future trends in data service delivery.

- 25. data intelligence hub 1.Every research project has a DMP 2. Library routinely provides DMP support 3. DMPs are harmonised with common core elements 4. DMPs are peer reviewed, stored, analysed and mined for data intelligence by the Library 5. DMP analytics inform institutional planning & validate research infrastructure investments
- 26. Data is mission-critical for Libraries 1.Library delivers core RDM services 2. Regional partnerships with collaborative and shared data infrastructure services 3. Demonstrate cost-benefits and efficiency savings 4. Data scientist, data librarian, data analyst teams 5. Transformational data service delivery modes
- 27. Librarians in the Lab 1.Co-locate data informatics support at the research coalface fully-integrated in research workflow 2. Data librarians listed as “co-authors” in citations with due attribution and credit 3. Recruit more LIS staff from STEM disciplines for data analysis, data visualisation, data stories 4. Data literacy in core LIS education curriculum 5. Re-invent the Library & re-invent LIS careers… Photo Credits:Flickr NASA HQ

Editor's Notes
- #9 Current position: Where we are This was determined from our 2011 DAF survey and from the k nowledge/experience of Research Data Steering Group Needed to be honest about what we were doing and where the gaps were. Difficult to do on the timescales required as we’d not rolled out our requirements survey. Objectives: Where we need to be These were re-ordered from the adapted Monash strategy and aligned with the EPSRC expectations Not all of the objects that met the Institutional needs were included in the EPSRC Roadmap Actions: How we’re going to get there These were specific with more detail Milestones: when it will be done by Requirement is to be compliant by 2015 – timescales needed to be realistic and achievable Roles and Responsibilities Responsibility spread across a number of key professional support services For each objective, operational leads were identified Everyone with an identified role was informed of this prior to the report being published As a result, a gap in the Research Data Steering Group was identified and an additional member invited to join the group How to get there Specific activities with assigned responsibilities, leads and timetables for delievery
