This 100+ page report looks closely at the data
curation and management practices of 17 colleges and
universities including the University of Surrey, Columbia
University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the
University of Toronto, the University of Brasilia, Colorado
State University and many others. The report covers how
libraries deal with data management plans for grant proposals,
tutorials and training in data management for scholars,
library spending for data curation, relations with other
players in data curation such as offices of research and
academic faculties, metadata development for datasets, and
other issues in data curation and data management.
Just a few of the report’s many findings are that:
- 70.59 percent of all libraries in
the sample offer advice to faculty on how to develop data
management plans for grant proposals or personal use
- 17.65 percent of all
participating libraries use videos or web-based tutorials to
train faculty in data management
- The mean size of the data
curation staff was 2.14 FTE
- Just one library in the sample
has ever received an external grant to support activities in
data curation
