EXAMPLE: INFLIBNETCONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS, PUBLICATIONS, ETC.

EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH DATA• Spreadsheets and tables• Sensor and instrument output• Software source code• Surveys• Interview transcripts• Samples• Relational databases• GIS data• Videos and images• Etc.
DATA THAT UNDERLIE PUBLICATIONS AND RESEARCH
NOT DOCUMENTS, BUT DATASETS
From: http://epicgraphic.com/data-cake
THE RAW INGREDIENTS OF RESEARCH
WHY SHARE YOUR DATASETS?• It’s good science: reproducible results• Transparency and accountability• Get credit by making your data citable• Efficiency: don’t reinvent the wheel• Enable the creation of new knowledge in your field,
another field, or interdisciplinary or creative reuse (e.g., mashups)
• You may be required to by your government, funder, institution, publishers, etc.
A FEW GOOD REASONS WHY RESEARCHERS SHOULD SHARE THEIR DATA
WHY NOT?

AND THERE ARE VERY VALID REASONS TO NOT SHARE DATA, TOO
CONTEXT FOR LIBRARIESAssociation of Research Libraries (ARL). To Stand the Test of Time: Long-term Stewardship of Digital Data Sets in Science and Engineering. 2006. NSF/ARL Workshop report.
Called for an expanded role for research libraries in e-Science and Data Curation.
Catherine Soehner, Catherine Steeves, and Jennifer Ward. 2010.e-Science and Data Support Services: A Study of ARL Member Institutions. ARL report.
Of 57 ARL member libraries, 21 reported they provide infrastructure or support services for e-Science; 23 libraries were in planning stages.
ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES IN NORTH AMERICA
MOTIVATION FOR DATABIBWhat repositories are appropriate for a researcher to submit his or her data to? How do users find appropriate data repositories and discover datasets that meet their needs? How can librarians help patrons locate and integrate data into their research or learning?
Databib attempts to address these needs for researchers with a focus on:– Data users– Data producers– Publishers– Librarians– Research funding agencies– Citizens
