The challenge
• Environmental scan• Complex environment
• Lots of small isolated services
• Lots of gaps
• No obvious service point
• Where to start?• How do we gain credibility?

Scare tactics
![Page 10: Introducing researchers to data management: Pedagogy and strategy MLA Annual Meeting, 2013 Karen Hanson Knowledge Systems Librarian karen.hanson@med.nyu.edu](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c735503460f94925fe7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Horror stories (article retractions)
“There were 60 children in the study. The ages were by accident duplicated between the upper and lower halves of the database. Thus, the ages for the first 30 children in the data set were identical and in the same order with the ages for the second set of 30 children…The files with the original data are not available any more, making it impossible to reconstruct a valid data set for reanalysis.”

Chilling tales from our own lives
• At least we know where it is…
![Page 13: Introducing researchers to data management: Pedagogy and strategy MLA Annual Meeting, 2013 Karen Hanson Knowledge Systems Librarian karen.hanson@med.nyu.edu](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c735503460f94925fe7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Look… we do need to teach this!
• National survey of postdocs• ~2500 responses from 43 institutions analyzed
![Page 14: Introducing researchers to data management: Pedagogy and strategy MLA Annual Meeting, 2013 Karen Hanson Knowledge Systems Librarian karen.hanson@med.nyu.edu](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c735503460f94925fe7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

We baked a cake
• Majority of grants are from NIH (not NSF)• Covered “ingredients” of a good plan• Data management plan= carrot cake

Since the class – taking the plunge!
Direct results:• Collaborating with clinical informatics to create
online learning modules• Developing data management concierge
service
Downstream effects:• Collaborating on Data
Management Core for CTSI

Lessons learned
• Researchers need guidance on local data support
• Class good level for introduction but advanced would be helpful
• Bears good mediums for delivering a message
• Good way to start expanding library’s data management role
