Armed with this guide's strategies and concrete examples, subject librarians, data services librarians, and scholarly communication librarians will be inspired to roll up their sleeves and get involved with teaching research data management competencies to students and faculty.
The usefulness of research data management skills bridges numerous activities, from data-driven scholarship and open research by faculty to documentation for grant reporting. And undergrads need a solid foundation in data management for future academic success. This collection gathers practitioners from a broad range of academic libraries to describe their services and instruction around research data. You will learn about such topics as
- integrating research data management into information literacy instruction;
- threshold concepts for novice learners of data management;
- four key competencies that are entry points for library-faculty collaboration in data instruction;
- an 8-step plan for outreach to faculty and grad students in engineering and the sciences;
- using RStudio to teach data management, data visualization, and research reproducibility;
- expanding data management instruction with adaptable modules for remote learning;
- designing a data management workshop series;
- developing a research guide on data types, open data repositories, and data storage;
- creating a data management plan assignment for STEM undergraduates; and
- data management training to ensure compliance with grant requirements.

About the Contributors
Index
"Particularly useful is Briana Wham's essay on RStudio—which is omnipresent in research communities, so teaching RDM through an R framework is a logical and enticing approach for students and others. The essay on scales of learning—short versus long technical workshops—is also valuable ... Overall, Bauder's collection offers a good selection of compelling ideas and insights into different areas of RDM, and offers librarians a menu of examples to explore for their own programs."

"This work is a great asset for any organization or university in building, refining, and expanding their RDM training programs. There is no one size fits all approach to teaching this subject. However, this work uses the experience of several successful RDM training programs to show how each program tailored their programs to meet institutional needs. This should be on the shelf of every research administrator, research executive, university faculty of graduate level programs, library director, and RDM training staff members. This reader highly recommends this title. "
