Finding the Signal in the Noise: Normalizing Data Management into Library Literacy Programs
Abstract
UCSC science librarians created a series of data management instructional modules aimed at upper division and graduate students. These were designed to be delivered in one-shot instruction sessions of twenty minutes each. The intent was to create one set of modules for researchers in any science department that would not require further disciplinary customization, and could also fit into an existing instructional program.
We were able to launch a data literacy program on a shoestring, while training ourselves in this rapidly paced field. We integrated data management into our broader information literacy program, while also increasing awareness of our data management services offered by the Library.
