Ten recommendations for libraries to get started with research data management

LIBER installed the ‘E-Science working group’ in 2010 to investigate the role libraries can and should play in the field of E-Science. The group decided to focus on research data as it was felt to be the most urgent element of e-science that is of
relevance to the community of (research) libraries.
The group has held three workshops, the first during the LIBER-conference 2011 in Barcelona, the second during the IDCC 2011 conference in Bristol and the third and last one during the LIBERconference 2012 in Tartu. The results of the first two workshops were used as a basis for compiling recommendations to the LIBER-community. The “10 recommendations for libraries to support research data management” (see side bar) were finalized and prioritized during the final workshop at the LIBER-conference in Tartu.
