A Data Curation Profiles (DCP) Workshop on Monday, March 19, 2012 will be hosted by Boston University. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is funding a limited number of workshops to train librarians in the application and use of the Data Curation Profiles Toolkit.
There is no registration fee and there are 30 seats available for this event. More than one participant may register from any one institution; however we ask that no more than four register from any one institution. Otherwise, registration will be first come, first served.
Workshop Background
Librarians have an opportunity to play a vital role in the development and stewardship of publicly accessible collections of research data sets—i.e., data curation. However, working with data is a new, unfamiliar area for many. The Data Curation Profiles (DCP) Toolkit is a set of inter-related resources for librarians who need to gather information about data that may be published, shared, and archived for re-use and dissemination. The DCP Toolkit can be used as a means for launching discussions among librarians and faculty, for exploring research data needs, and helping to plan for the development of data services.
