Session Description:
Data and its management continues to grow in importance in academic libraries, and the focus is overwhelmingly on newly-produced digital data. However, data in paper or analog format exists across our campuses in varying locations and is equally important. With a focus on life sciences data, we have mainly explored analog material in selected labs and centers on campus and in the University Archives. We have discovered that it is an institutional asset although some is not well preserved, almost none is easily discoverable, quite a bit could be shareable, and some has high potential for reuse.
