[Rdap] Outreach Opportunity - need ideas!

[Ali Krzton]

Hi Kindra,

Nina’s questions are great.  I would also suggest talking about your own background in research as it applies to your position, if there’s space.  It’s a great way to provide a sense of context so that the faculty understand the perspective you bring.  Perhaps you can weasel that into the “How did you come to be at DePaul?” section.

Best,

Hi Kindra,

I did one of these Q&A intros for my onboarding. Some questions we came up with after the basic blahblah ones were:

  *   What are the most common questions or problem areas researchers face with managing data?
  *   How do you hope to become actively engaged with faculty?/Grad students?
  *   Are there particular services or opportunities VCU Libraries provides that you want to stress?

·         What ideas do you want to share, specifically, with hard science researchers regarding data management?

  *   What ideas do you want to share, specifically, with faculty in the humanities about how to think about “data” in their fields?
  *   How can you assist faculty who are writing proposals for grants or seeking funding for their work?
I hope some of those are helpful!
Kind regards,
Nina

Good morning RDAP!

I have an opportunity through our Office of Research Services (ORS) here at DePaul University to have a feature in an upcoming newsletter that will be distributed to our faculty. The Director of ORS envisions this as an interview and has sent me a list of questions to that end and has given me license to write my own question. His questions are in the vein of “How did you come to be at DePaul?” and “What are your job responsibilities” and “How can people get in touch with you?”

I’d like to write something a little more RDM-y – like “Why should researchers care about managing their data?” But I fear that that sounds condescending. A little background: I’m the first Data Services Librarian at DePaul and it appears to me that there has been little collectively done around RDM here, or if it has been, it’s been decentralized into specific departments/colleges so I’m not only promoting my services, but promoting RDM as a whole. Any suggestions as to wording or topics are welcome!

Warmly,
Kindra
