formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The
longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the
convenience of a webinar.

*ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE*

In spite of the fact that it is produced daily and is the underlying
support for scholarly journal articles, research data has been one of
the least managed content resources. This neglect is fast coming to an end,
as many funding organizations now require that researchers plan for the
organization, care, and sharing of the data produced as part of a funded
project. Libraries have a significant opportunity to take on a new role in
their institution's data management. The same expertise used in managing
traditional print and electronic library resources can be applied to data
management planning and curation. But while there are many similarities in
managing data, there are also important differences that need to be
addressed.

This NISO virtual conference will explore many current and up-and-coming
aspects of research data management, including:

• Data management practice meets policy
• Uses for the data management plan
• Building data management capacity and functionality
• Citing and curating datasets
• Connecting datasets with other products of scholarship
• Changing researchers’ practices
• Teaching data management techniques

*NEW: Training Thursday!* All registrants to this virtual conference will
receive a login to the associated Training Thursday on* Crafting a
Scientific Data Management Plan
