There have been a number of training courses in recent years to help reskill librarians for research data management. These courses raise awareness of reasons to manage and share data, identify good practices to follow, and point to available tools and support. Perhaps most importantly they build confidence and help librarians to see how their existing skills and knowledge are highly-relevant to supporting researchers with data.
We have had an amazing response to our call for posters and are now able to offer a preview of those that will be on display at IDCC15.
The Poster Exhibition will take place in the conference foyer where all refreshments are to be served. The foyer is outside the main auditorium.
The posters will also be available during the Interactive session on Monday 9 February from 2-4.30pm. There will be plenty of time to view the posters and to chat with the poster authors about the work that they are showcasing.
We have had a record number of submissions for IDCC15 and are now pleased to announce the details of the papers that have been accepted for presentation at the conference.
The 6 research papers and 24 practice papers will be programmed on Tuesday 10 February in 3 parallel sessions. The exact scheduling of the papers will be announced soon but in the meantime for a full list of papers check Day two papers
The registration fee will cover conference attendance on 9 and 10 February, and related events including the Pre-Conference Drinks Reception at the Wellcome Collection's Medicine Now Gallery and the Conference Dinner which will be hosted by the British Library.
