Abstract

ABSTRACT As management of research data becomes increasingly important to scholars and academic institutions, academic libraries can play a major role by offering research data services (RDS). This poster presents the results of a survey of the Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche-Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) academic member library directors to find out what types of RDS their libraries are currently offering and what services they plan to offer in the future. The survey found that while most of these libraries currently offer or are planning to offer at least some RDS, consultative or reference-type services are offered more often than are technical or hands-on services. Most of these libraries are in discussions regarding data policies, collaborate with other organizations within or outside their own institutions to offer RDS, and most provide support for RDS skills development for staff members. This poster discusses the implications of these findings and offers directions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
