Simon Huggard (Digital Infrastructure Manager, Library, La Trobe University) will explore the approach the La Trobe University Library is taking in creating new research support initiatives and reflect on how library staff have immersed themselves in the world of data management, enabling a dialogue between researchers and the Library. As awareness increases of the role librarians can play in providing support and advice for research data management, so does the need to provide library staff with professional development opportunities. This webinar explores approaches to engaging librarians in the growing area of research data management, reflecting on different approaches and lessons learned.
