Learn about Library services available to support researchers with an interest in or need to manage datasets.  The Tri-Agency Statement of Principles on Digital Data Management encourages data management planning as well as  sharing and reusing datasets where possible to strengthen the research  environment in Canada. This session will address the components of a data management plan (DMP); online tools to create DMPs; considerations for sharing datasets such as metadata creation, privacy and intellectual property issues; and, preservation and storage options for datasets. We’ll also examine available sites for finding and retrieving open datasets.
