Embedded Librarians to Support Data Management Needs of a Multidisciplinary Research Program

This presentation describes the establishment of a partnership between the Libraries and a multidisciplinary research program, and some of the products and outcomes from immersive and embedded roles within that program. Several factors contributed to the development of this partnership: outreach efforts by the Engineering Library and the Data Services Librarian to faculty, staff, students, and research administrators; a research program director who has a history of engagement with the Libraries; and the funder’s data management and sharing mandates in the funding opportunity announcement for the research program.
