2. Questions
• Why should I care
about data
management?
• What do libraries
have to do with it?
• What does the HSL
provide?

3. Why should I care about data management?
Rinehart, AK. “Getting emotional about data” College & Research Libraries News September 2015 vol. 76 no. 8 437-440

4. More researchers

5. More data than ever before
See arXiv:1402.4578 for details

6. 17% data is lost per year post publication
doi:10.1016/j.cub.2013.11.014

7. The majority of research data aren’t curated
doi:10.1353/lib.0.0036
<22% NIH grants require a
Data Sharing Plan

8. We are losing vast amounts of data

9. Research funding is tight
From: The Anatomy of Medical Research: US and International Comparisons
JAMA. 2015;313(2):174-189. doi:10.1001/jama.2014.15939
NIH

Private funds
Other Fed.

10. Funders want to do more with less
Hence, data sharing

11. Whitehouse’s 2013 OSTP
“The Obama Administration is committed to the
proposition that citizens deserve easy access to the
results of research their tax dollars have paid for.
That’s why, in a policy memorandum released today,
OSTP Director John Holdren has directed Federal
agencies with more than $100M in R&D expenditures
to develop plans to make the results of federally
funded research freely available to the public—
generally within one year of publication.”

funded-research

12. NSF post-award requirements
“Investigators are expected to share with other
researchers, at no more than incremental cost
and within a reasonable time, the primary data,
samples, physical collections and other
supporting materials created or gathered in the
course of work under NSF grants. Grantees are
expected to encourage and facilitate such
sharing.”

NIH is preparing to release a similar policy

15. How are libraries getting involved?
• We don’t make the rules
• We want to provide guidance
• Research data management services
• NLM Administrative Supplements

16. Libraries are changing:
Strength: organizing and finding information
• Old role: Finding and cataloging books
• New role: Finding and cataloging electronic resources
• Informationist’s role: Finding datasets for data
repurposing and helping researchers curate their own

17. Services
• Consultations
• Classes
• Topics
• Data Management plans
• Research Reproducibility
• Metadata
• Repositories
See http://hslibrary.ucdenver.edu/research/data-management
for more information

18. Librarians are receiving grant funding

19. Informationist Funding
NLM Administrative Supplements for Informationist Services
Purposes:
(1) To enhance collaborative, multi-disciplinary basic and clinical
research by integrating an information specialist into the
research team in order to improve the capture, storage,
organization, management, integration, presentation and
dissemination of biomedical research data
(2) To assess and document the value and impact of the
informationist’s participation.

20. Project background
Dr. Kechris’s R01 proposal generated miRNA expression data from
LXS recombinant inbred mouse panel as a resource for the
research community.
Planned to share data in PhenoGen database

21. NLM Informationist Awards
Aims:
1. Make data and code publicly available with
appropriate metadata
2. Create tutorials to facilitate data reuse
3. Assess efficacy of Aims 1 + 2

22. Aim 1: Make data/code/metadata public
• Deposit raw miRNA data public repositories
• NCBI (SRA/GEO/BioProject/BioSample)
• PhenoGen (new functionality to support NGS data)
• Standardize and apply metadata
• Make analysis workflows (R code) available in GitHub
• Repository entry to link all materials from this project
• Including tutorials from Aim 2

23. Aim 2: Facilitate data reuse with tutorials
Variety of formats:
• Video Tutorials: Adobe Captivate
• Written tutorials: Blog
• https://hslnews.wordpress.com/category/bioinformatics
-bites/
• Guide on the Side:
• http://hslibrarytraining.ucdenver.edu

24. Aim 3: Assess efficacy of Aims 1 and 2
• Monitor data usage
• Citation
• Downloads (Google Analytics)
• Surveys and assessments about tutorials
• Are the tutorials helping others use the data?
