DESCRIPTION
Information technology and resources are an integral and indispensable part of the contemporary academic enterprise. In particular, technological advances have nurtured a new paradigm of data-intensive research. However, far too much of this activity still takes place in silos, to the detriment of open scholarly inquiry, integrity, and advancement. To counteract this tendency, the University of California Curation Center (UC3) has been developing and deploying a comprehensive suite of curation services that facilitate widespread data management, preservation, publication, sharing, and reuse. Through these services UC3 is engaging with new communities of use: in addition to its traditional stakeholders in cultural heritage memory organizations, e.g., libraries, museums, and archives, the UC3 service suite is now attracting significant adoption by research projects, laboratories, and individual faculty researchers. This webinar will present an introduction to five specific services – DMPTool, DataUp, EZID, Merritt, Web Archiving Service (WAS) – applicable to data curation throughout the scholarly lifecycle, two recent initiatives in collaboration with UC campuses, UC Berkeley Research Hub and UC San Francisco DataShare, and the ways in which they encourage and promote new communities of practice and greater transparency in scholarly research.

Conclusions
Why is data curation important?
Integrity Enabling appropriate scrutiny, debate, reproduction, and
verification of results
Efficiency Avoiding needless duplication of effort
Policy Complying with institutional policies, publication requirements,
and funder mandates
“[Data] is a valuable national asset whose value is multiplied when it is made easily accessible to the public”
– Office of Science and Technology Policy
Why is data curation important?
Catalyzing Promoting progress through new collaborations and creative
(re)use of data
“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”– Isaac Newton, 1676
What is the library’s role?
A continuation of its long-standing mission and practice to connect patrons with content of interest in meaningful ways across barriers of space and timeCf. Tenopir et al. (2012), “Academic librarians and research data services: Preparation and attitudes,” 78th IFLA
General Conference and Assembly, Helsinki, http://conference.ifla.org/past/ifla78/116-tenopir-en.pdf

Why is data curation hard?
Ever increasing number, size, and diversity of content Inevitability of disruptive change Resources not keeping pace with growth Stakeholders outside of traditional cultural heritage domains,
with lots of questions
Who can give me advice on what I should do? How should I describe and package my data? How can I cite my data in order to receive
credit for it? How can I share my data? What can I do with web published data?

Data curation
“Access to and sharing of data are essential for the conduct and advancement of science”
— Arzberger et al. (2004), “Promoting access to public research data for scientific, economic, and social development,” Data Science Journal 3: 135-52, doi:10.2481/dsj.3.135
Pro-active curation of research outputs is necessary to ensure their ongoing viability and use
Good for research; good for researchers Quicker, more innovative science; higher impact factor
Increasingly necessary for conformance to institutional policies, publication requirements, and funder mandates
Data curation
Widespread adoption is dependent on outreach, education, and minimal intrusion into existing disciplinary workflows and common community practices
The most effective – and sustainable – curation services are composed from best-of-breed components
Libraries are a natural curation partner for the research community
