CARL COMMUNIQUÉ
CARL Data Management Awareness Toolkit

Research Data: Unseen Opportunities , developed for the CARL Data Management Sub-Committee, provides background information about the management of research data in Canada. The purpose is to enable Canadian Association of Research Libraries Directors to raise awareness of the issues of data management with administrators and researchers on campus. The toolkit, along with a companion document that discusses roles for libraries in the management of research data, will provide readers with a general understanding of the current state of research data in Canada and internationally, and offer suggestions to begin addressing the issues involved. Orders for high quality print copies can be placed with the CARL Office - carladm@uottawa.ca, 613-562-5385. The toolkit can also be downloaded directly from the CARL Website in PDF format.
