Understanding Graduate Students’ Knowledge About Research Data Management: Workflows, Challenges, and the Role of the Library

 

Session Description:
What are graduate students learning about Research Data Management (RDM) and how are they learning it? This study will help librarians to understand the information behaviors of graduate students in their current roles as lab managers, research assistants, and researchers in their own right, and will help to assess the gaps in their knowledge. Through interviewing graduate students at a medium-sized university we sought to understand their knowledge of RDM and the potential role of the library to meet their needs through data-related services.
