[Rdap] Data management and public services - solutions to colleague confusion

[Yelena Katrayeva]

Hi Daureen,

I am in a little different boat as my position, and description say pretty clear what I have been hired to do so I’ve never had an issue like yours. I am Metadata Specialist; if you want, I can send you the description of my position. Returning to the topic of your letter, I have to say that I have always thought that the subject of my work is very-very close to Data Curation. By reading your letter about what you do in fact, I see that I have been close in my assumption, but I’ve got curious what is different. Could you please describe what people expect from you? Not that colleague, but people at work in general.

Thanks,
Lena.

> Hi,
> I’m up for my 5-yr post tenure review and a colleague of mine is being critical of my work in data management. This is  because, as she explains, it is not public service so I do not do enough public service. What I’m doing is assisting with writing DMPs, teaching about repositories and data management, answering reference questions in data management – in addition to all the ELN work.
