Science has always been grounded in data, but the volume and diversity of data generated by twenty-first century science and the establishment of data management mandates by funding agencies have motivated The Rockefeller University Library (RUL) and the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Library to partner together and survey our respective user communities.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), as described in a document dated February 2015, plans to build upon and enhance its longstanding efforts to increase access to the scholarly publications and digital data resulting from NIH-funded research. We don’t want to wait to determine how our libraries can contribute and support this initiative. Our 10-minute survey (or less) will help us better understand the potential services we can develop to support our researchers.
