Helping Researchers Manage Data: The Role of Research Libraries

MacKenzie Smith
Associate Director for Technology
MIT Libraries

Since 2006, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Libraries have been building a program to help manage and curate the ever-expanding volume of research data produced by faculty, researchers and students at the Institute. The staff has developed Web guidelines, training sessions, infrastructure, and expertise in managing a variety of data types, in addition to both near-term practical strategies and a long-term vision for how the staff can support this new type of scholarship alongside the traditional forms. The session will cover what MIT Libraries are doing and what has been learned along the way.
