ALCTS webinar: Research Data Management Librarian Academy

Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2020

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

 

Description: The webinar will feature the Research Data Management Librarian Academy (RDMLA), which is a free, online research data management (RDM) professional skill development program for librarians, information professionals, researchers, and other professionals who work in a research-intensive environment throughout the world.

RDMLA--the result of a unique and successful partnership between a Library and Information Science (LIS) academic program, academic health sciences and research libraries, and Elsevier--seeks to fill the skill and learning gaps in Research Data Management for information professionals around the world through units that focus on the foundations of RDM.

Learning outcomes: At the end of this webinar, attendees will be familiar with the history and foundations of the Research Data Management Library Academy. Attendees will receive a brief overview of each module and an explanation of the certification exam for continuing education credits. Additionally, attendees will become more familiar with the growing need of RDM trained professionals, and how, through shared experience and knowledge, RDMLA works to address that need by filling skill and learning gaps.

Who should attend?  

The intended audience for the RDMLA webinar includes librarians, information professionals, and other professionals who work in a research-intensive environment.
