Research libraries’ new role in research data management,

current trends and

visions in Denmark

mailto:[email protected]



Overview of the presentation

Research data, storage, preservation, accessibility and sharing:

• What’s the problem, according to a survey based study?

• Who can solve it?• Examples of solutions from the State and

University Library - perspectives for research libraries




The survey based study

• Aim and purpose• Central themes• Method




Main results - universities

• Limited facilities for data storage• Data preservation - a resource demanding task• Data archives - a national solution is preferred• Universities - branding by research publications,

not by preservation and accessibility of research data

• Activities to increase researchers’ awareness of data preservation and accessibility




The problem: no common practice for research data management

• Some explanations: technological development - university policies - researchers’ needs - cultural differences etc.

• Confirmation by other research in the field?




Recent trends

• Increased focus and activity • DeiC: to create a national strategy on data

management• DEFF: FIF’ project – to test software and

relevant services• Collaboration between Universities, MLA

and relevant ministries




The research library as problem solver

• 5 Cases – to illustrate how the MLA sector can participate in the development of research data infrastructures, and already does participate

• Focus on: storage, preservation, accessibility, sharing/collaboration




• Purpose/Content: To make radio programmes available

• Institutions: Universities, MLA sector, DR• Data Sources: DR and State University Library• Access: Researchers Online• Long time Storage: Not part of the project• Sharing/collaboration: Yes




• Purpose/Content: To harvest and preserve Danish homepages

• Institutions: The State and University Library and the Royal Library

• Data Sources: The Netarchive• Access: Researchers Online• Long time Storage: Yes• Sharing/collaboration: Yes




• Purpose/Content: To digitize, preserve and present cultural heritage online

• Institutions: The State and University Library• Data Sources: The State and University

Library • Access: Researchers Online. The public: On

the premises of the library, the Royal Library and the Danish Film Institute.

• Long time Storage: Yes• Sharing/collaboration: No




• Purpose/Content: To improve access and develop research methods

• Institutions: Universities, The MLA sector, DR• Data Sources: Depending on the project

(Netarchive – MedieStream)• Access: Researchers Online• Long time Storage: Yes• Sharing/collaboration: Part of the project – to be

developed in cooperation with researches




• Purpose/Content: To disseminate knowledge from the MLA sector on digital preservation

• Institutions: The State and University Library, Danish Data Archive, The Royal Library The Danish Film Institute

• Data Sources: The involved institutions• Access: General public• Long time Storage: No• Sharing/collaboration: No




Overview / Summary

• Cases summarized:– Data Sources: MLA sector, DR– Access: Researchers - online– Long time Storage: yes, but depending on the

specific project– Sharing/collaboration: to some extent, to be

developed in cooperation with researchers




Perspective: What makes this new role of the research

libraries possible?

• MLA sector already has experience in digitizing, preservation, managing access, metadata etc.

• Requires close cooperation in development with researchers
