1. Assessing data management needs Kathleen Fear @kmfear; kathleen.fear@rochester.edu University of Rochester

2. Finding out what researchers know they need Surveys Interviews Data Curation Profiles (or something shorter…) Identify gaps Design services Make a case to administration for support Pull together stakeholders

3. “Places to put things, ways to point to things, and help organizing things”

4. Don’t start from scratch Assess your own needs / goals first: What do you hope to do with the data you gather? What kind of data will be actionable for your purposes? Survey strengthsInterview strengths Data from a lot of researchers quickly Can produce clear, targeted statistics about data management needs (“30% of faculty said they need…”) In-depth understanding of researchers, their data and their context of work Flexible, adaptable Opportunity to start an ongoing conversation

5. Matching your method to your goals and needs Size / Diversity Institutional culture We have a small # of researchers Our culture is very bottom- up

6. Would you like to learn about sharing your data? Nope! I already do it and I’m fine! Nope! I don’t have to share my data!

7. Finding out what researchers don’t know they need External sources of information about data-related needs Journals and their data sharing policies Grant office and records of proposals awarded, submitted and rejected

8. Keep going! Identify a gap Develop a service to fill the gap Build relationships with users and non- users Use insight from relationships to identify gaps Services get people in the door; relationships keep them coming back Scoping data service needs: the longest reference interview you’ll ever do

9. Data management planning A service for researchers; an opportunity to continue to identify needs Tools for researchers DMPTool with customization Low tech / high impact: a handout and a conversation
