Understanding how 3rd party data are being used by researchers within an institution is likely to be a concern for many HEIs setting up research data management policies and support services. The University of York are currently seeking input for their survey on how external data resources are being managed institutionally. The survey is available until April 16th.

Dear all Staff at the University of York Information Directorate are undertaking a project to survey the use of external datasets (financial, social/economic, environmental etc) for research and learning at our institution, aiming to develop a medium-term strategy for managing subscriptions, licences and user support. We would like to establish whether there are any common practices across the sector: who within your institution has responsibility for managing data sources, what skills/experience does the role require, and what services do you provide? Your response to the survey below (5 questions) will be much appreciated. Unless you choose to identify yourself in Q5, your response will be anonymous. Please respond by 5pm Tuesday 16th April. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dHc4M2 9icHl2QVhMcDBlS2JOc0pwT1E6MQ Very many thanks and best wishes, Kirstyn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kirstyn Radford Academic Liaison Librarian: Economics, Politics, PEP, CHE, Women's Studies Library and Archives University of York YO10 5DD 01904 32 3885 kirstyn.radf...@york.ac.uk <k...@york.ac.uk> http://www.york.ac.uk/library/ ------------------------------ End of LIS-RESEARCHSUPPORT Digest - 28 Mar 2013 to 4 Apr 2013 (#2013-21) ************************************************************************
