From the Webliography
The selected resources were chosen for broad appeal across the spectra of librarians engaging with research data from novice to expert. Other factors considered included endurance of the resource over time and the authority of the materials. The webliography includes both freely available materials and educational opportunities that have costs affiliated with them, such as courses offered by professional organizations. For background literature and policy information, librarians should refer to Policies and Background Literature for “Self-Education on Research Data Management: An Annotated Bibliography” (also in this issue).
The webliography is organized by content type, first with more foundational materials such as established data management curricula and then with current awareness and community materials such as social media.
