Video Recordings of Presentations/Panels From Harvard Purdue Research Data Management Symposium Now Available Online
The videos embedded below were recorded at Harvard Purdue Research Data Management Symposium held at Harvard University on June 16-17, 2015 and were made available on YouTube earlier today.
The Harvard Library, Purdue University Libraries, and Arcadia sponsored the event.
From the Symposium’s Web Site:
This symposium on data management incorporated visionary ideas, new concepts, and inspirational speakers. The purpose was to promote data awareness and integration of library services into the research cycle, and to demonstrate that data management is not simply about compliance but also about building relationships and engaging stakeholders at all levels. Well-managed data allows researchers to develop new lines of inquiry that would not have been possible previously and to communicate their work in innovative ways; librarians can contribute to this effort. The symposium explored broader data management needs across libraries and archives that can lead to developing recommendations and policies as well as creating central architecture to support data management.
