It Takes Teamwork to Make the Dream Work

This poster discusses the planning and implementation of research data management services at Florida State University Libraries. We are taking a novel approach to providing research data management services by implementing a team-based model, leveraging existing skillsets and minimizing the risk of developing a new service. Part of a larger initiative in digital scholarship, the data research librarian and digital scholarship coordinator work together in coordinating data management services. The support of the program comes from a team of subject librarians, graduate assistants and staff, especially within the STEM areas, who participate in consultations and data management plan research and writing. Collaboration to this degree is not without its pain points, but we’ve optimized workflows by using tools like DMPTool, Trello and Slack. We will demonstrate how these tools streamline data management service delivery as well as enhance communication and collaboration.
