Following our involvement in the pilot presentation\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0“RDM Training for Liaison Librarians” course<\/a>, and\u00a0taking inspiration from\u00a0the\u00a0existing model at Purdue University in the U.S., three liaison colleagues\u00a0(Marshall Dozier, Angela Nicholson, Nahad Gilbert) and I took up the challenge to create some data curation profiles here at Edinburgh.\u00a0 As at Purdue, it is intended that the creation of such research profiles here will enable us to gain insight into aspects of data management and assist in the assessment of\u00a0information needs across the disciplines.<\/p>\n

To this end I contacted Dr Bert Remijsen, a researcher in linguistics\u00a0in the School of Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences, for which I currently provide liaison support. He had recently deposited a dataset in Edinburgh DataShare and very kindly agreed to be\u00a0my case study for this pilot.<\/p>\n

Drawing on materials at Purdue<\/a> and Boston<\/a> Universities, Marshall, Nahad, Angela\u00a0and I\u00a0collaborated at some length\u00a0on the creation of\u00a0a manageable data curation profile questionnaire for our own use. This was then\u00a0forwarded by each of us to our respective interviewees ahead of our scheduled\u00a0meetings with them.<\/p>\n

Although I had been involved with RDM issues for\u00a0some time,\u00a0I nevertheless approached my own\u00a0interview with some trepidation.\u00a0However, I need not have worried, as all went very\u00a0smoothly indeed!\u00a0 Sending the questionnaire ahead of our meeting ensured that Dr Remijsen\u00a0had to hand all appropriate information that we might need to consult in the course of the interview.<\/p>\n

Although I consigned each of his responses to my iPad as we worked through the questionnaire,\u00a0Dr Remijsen\u00a0also supplied a good deal of additional information which I\u00a0captured\u00a0in\u00a0my recording of our meeting.\u00a0The ability to listen to this a couple of times after the event greatly assisted me both in my later preparation of the final profile<\/a> and my general understanding of\u00a0his research and its associated dataset.<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0and in contrast to the apprehension that attended this pilot interview, I can honestly say that am\u00a0now rather looking forward to the next one!<\/p>\n
