Abstract

Research data management practices continue to evolve as data become more connected, distributed, granular, and continuous. While keeping their mandate to serve the academic community, libraries are seeking to foster knowledge creation, learning, and information access in an ever more data-driven and online environment. In this chapter, the authors describe their perspectives that shape the library's mandate, roles, and technology. They detail specific roles that have been created to foster data engagement: a secure enclave data core, an institutional data catalog, scientific software management, bioinformatics and research reproducibility support, data integrity, and community engagement. A constant focus on customer service has shaped each role, built the library's reputation, and contributed to high-impact services.
