Session Description:
Librarians are assuming larger roles in managing research data and other aspects of research support, and our institutions are taking a much greater interest in the data about the research. Managing all that information involves aggregation, curation, and utilization of metadata: all areas ideally suited to the skills librarians already have. In this panel discussion, practitioners in the emerging field of Research Information Management (RIM) will talk about the different motivations that led to implementations of RIM systems on their campuses and how their libraries are leading the way.
