Comparing Notes: Training Librarians for Research Data Management and Open Science Support

A full day train-the-trainer style workshop showcasing five training courses for liaison librarians and other support staff on research data management and open science. The aim is to raise awareness of existing materials, give participants ideas for reusing or combining the content, and to share lessons to inform future training courses. By sharing freely available training materials and advice on how they could be best implemented, the workshop will enable other librarians and support staff to run their own courses more easily.

The workshop will begin with a series of brief presentations to introduce existing training courses and we will invite further contributions from the floor to hear about training initiatives in other countries. The afternoon session will be more reflective. Initially a breakout discussion will consider the skills gaps and how these  are addressed via the presented courses. A panel session will also consider lessons learned from implementing the courses. Each presenter will be asked to share their top tips based on what worked well and what had to be adjusted as each course evolved. The event will close with details of where all the course materials can be found to encourage others to reuse them.
