[Morelock, Kindra]

Thank you to all of the responses! They were all extremely helpful and I incorporated quite a few of the ideas into various questions.

Most researchers are looking at data management from the requirements of the funding agencies and are having trouble keeping up with the changes - in sharing data and publications. Talk about their needs not what you want them to do.

Maybe something with the same message, but self-focussed  - Why I got into Data services?   To help researcher protect their data, make it more shareable, increase the reach of their work.

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
