Giarlo, The Pennsylvania State University Abstract Academic libraries have a critical role to play as data quality hubs on campus. There is an increased need to ensure data quality within ‘e-science’. Given academic libraries’ curation and preservation expertise, libraries are well suited to support the data quality process. Data quality measurements are discussed, including the fundamental elements of trust, authenticity, understandability, usability and integrity, and are applied to the Digital Curation Lifecycle model to demonstrate how these measures can be used to understand and evaluate data quality within the curatorial process. Opportunities for improvement and challenges are identified as areas that are fruitful for future research and exploration. Implications for Practice: •Managers and leaders within academic libraries with established data curation or digital repository serviceswill learn how existing infrastructure could be extended to campus research data in order to make the problem of data quality more tractable •Library staff and faculty at libraries which lack the resources to establish data curation services will learn howthey can get involved with data quality advancements on campus. •Library staff and faculty will learn more about the problem of data quality, about indicators of data quality,about application of existing library proficiencies to data quality issues, and thus about marketing data quality services on campus. •Digital curation practitioners and program managers will learn about exemplars and techniques of combining curation methodologies, such as incentives for post-hoc (e.g. crowdsourced) curation. •Library administrators will be challenged to align research data curation rhetoric with resources.
