Abstract

This report describes an extensive set of actions and resources that can be leveraged by libraries establishing basic research data management programs. Part 1, "Laying the Foundation," is intended to help institutions establish the underpinning for the next steps suggested in Part 2, "Building Up and Out." The order in which any of these steps are implemented should be determined by the needs of your researchers in combination with the capabilities and resources of your library. Establishing a firm understanding of basic data management needs, providing introductory information and training, and implementing an outreach plan will provide the scaffolding to allow you to continue building your RDM infrastructure. In order for your program to be sustainable, it is important that you assess the needs of the researchers and the institution on an ongoing basis--and be ready to build to the next level, while also, being open to signs that a remodel is called for.
