Due to several requests, deadline for submitting to the special issue on “*Data
as Collections*” is now extended to *Nov 20, 2018*.


Data become an important part of libraries’ collection in addition to the
traditional information sources like books or journals. With the growing
curricular and research interest in data, libraries are now expected to
build a data collection that is useful to their user communities. However,
developing, managing, and preserving data collection require different
considerations than traditional information sources (e.g., scope, cost,
license agreement, acquisition policies, quality assessment, formats,
technology and infrastructure, etc.), while providing unique challenges.



Previous work in this area focuses a lot on research data management (RDM)
at the libraries, particularly helping researchers address needs throughout
the research data lifecycle. This special issue will add a new perspective
by addressing libraries’ efforts to build data collections and the issues
around these efforts.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - Strategies and challenges for developing data collections
   - Data collection development policies
   - Data management/curation practices in libraries
   - Issue relevant to access and sustainability to manage data as
   collection
   - Metadata for data collections
   - Impact of data on future collection development
   - New users’ need
   - Training and staffing librarians
   - User education/service/outreach
   - Institutional, journal, and funder policies relevant to the
   development of data collections
   - Licensing and legal concerns

*Submission type:*

   - Research papers
   - Opinion pieces or columns
   - Articles should be between 1000 and 3000 words in length. This
   includes all text including references and appendices. Please allow 520
   words for each figure or table.

*Submission deadline*:



Articles for the special issue should be submitted to Collection and
Curation for peer review before *22 October, 2018*.
