New Factsheet: “Implementing FAIR Data Principles: The Role of Libraries”
Info/link to a new factsheet re: FAIR from LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries) that might be of interest to some of you.
From a LIBER Blog Post:
For libraries which do not already actively promote and include the FAIR Data Principles [Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable] in their work, LIBER’s Research Data Management Working Group has produced a factsheet with tips on getting started.
The FAIR Data Principles are a set of guiding principles in order to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (Wilkinson et al., 2016). These principles provide guidance for scientific data management and stewardship and are relevant to all stakeholders in the current digital ecosystem. They directly address data producers and data publishers to promote maximum use of research data. Research libraries can use the FAIR Data Principles as a framework for fostering and extending research data services.
