The Data Curation Network team is excited to present at the IASSIST conference this week in Lawrence KS! We will give a panel Wednesday morning on Perception vs Practice in providing data curation activities where we share our research findings on what libraries say they do for data curation vs. what researchers find most important.

Also we are excited to present a poster that dives deeper into some of the findings from our ARL SPEC Kit on data curation services in ARL libraries. There are several barriers that may prevent us from scaling up these important (to researchers!) services and we think the Data Curation Network can help!

Talk to you “in the middle” at IASSIST!!
