Lessons Learned: Teaching DMP to Librarians

• (semi) flipped classroom• Lots of hands on (but takes time!)– Good case studies are key– Favorite exercises: Institutional resources scan,

file naming and folder structure exercise, data storage case discussion, data de-identification activity

• Focus on importance of DMP for research but also for our own day-to-day work and library research --- “practice what we preach”

Best Practices

• Collaboration & relationship building• External & Internal

• Internal training

• Marketing

• Administrative support

Next Steps

• New hires

• Space redesign

• Continuing data consultations & partnerships

• New workshops
