Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding proposals, which describe how data generated in the proposed work will be managed, preserved and shared. Data management plans are a rich source of information about an institution’s researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and needs....
To provide research data management (RDM) support services, libraries need to develop expertise in data curation and management within the library. Many academic libraries are reorganizing to initiate RDM service structures, but may lack staff expertise in this area. Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding...
An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...

Executive Summary:
Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) demonstrates the value of openness in a variety of ways. We worked with faculty to pass an open access policy to provide the broadest possible access to university scholarship. We teach faculty and students to use data tools that promote the...
The Forest Elevation Snow Transect (ForEST) project is a paired site elevational snow study. It is designed to measure how snow accumulates and ablates under different forest structures across an elevation range. The ForEST project has been ongoing since the winter of 2011-2012 within the McKenzie River Basin of the...
