My whole professional life has been frustrated by public services librarians who think that there is nothing more to information service than reference/liaison work. I, too, have the problem of colleagues not understanding what I do. As a result of a reorg, we have a librarian in charge of staff development, and she asked me to design a curriculum of presentations, Web pages, wikis, or whatever I come up with to acquaint staff with data curation, and help them feel more confident about explaining it to their patrons and recognizing opportunities for the library (me) to come in and archive their data or introduce them to available data sets—what Daureen has just posted about.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This wouldn’t help in a review going on right now, but maybe it would help to point out that you have engendered interest or discussion among your colleagues worldwide. :-{)}<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Brad Gulliford<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Data Management and Curation<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>University of Texas at Arlington Library<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Arlington, Texas, USA<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Rdap [mailto:rdap-bounces@asis.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Eaker, Chris<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, November 12, 2014 7:30 AM<br><b>To:</b> Research Data, Access and Preservation<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Rdap] Data management and public services<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>Hi Daureen, <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>I have run into a similar problem. Though my colleagues weren't critical of my data curation work, I was told that during my retention review discussion, they focused mainly on my liaison work in my subject area (Architecture, which is a minor portion of my job) and discussed the major part, data curation, very little. The reason, according to my supervisor, was because they didn't know enough about it, so they didn't know how to assess it for merit. My goal over this next year is to better educate my colleagues on what I do in that area so they know how to assess it in future reviews. That might be your issue or it might not, but it wouldn't hurt to make a concerted effort to help your colleagues better understand what it is that you do. I believe that work is as much a public service as is working the reference desk, it's just more specialized. Maybe criticism is a reaction to feeling like they don't understand it.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>Christopher B.
