Title

How 'bout us? Libraries and research data.

Abstract

Over the past few years, numerous reports have been written on the challenges science & society face when 'dealing with data'. Whether these challenges are of a technical, ethical, legal, economic or organisational nature, or any combination thereof, it has now become clear that the relevant stakeholders need to act. But who needs to do what? In his presentation, Marc van den Berg, director of Library and IT Services at Tilburg University, will argue that (research) libraries are indeed relevant stakeholders when it comes to research data. He will present an overview of data services libraries can offer, prioritized by urgency and feasibility.
