<div>
<div>"Interested in advancing data information literacy at your institution, but not sure where to start? Or are you looking for ways to engage with the campus community on topics of research data and data management? Join us at ACRL for “Getting Down to Brass
Tacks: Practical Approaches for Developing Data Management Services.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This full-day preconference will address the data management education needs of the library community. Through a sequence of modules, attendees will leave this session with knowledge of the diverse data management landscape, strategies to engage their
campus communities, and a plan for starting or enhancing data management services. It is the intention that feedback from this session could be used to inform future ACRL educational and training opportunities for data management/curation. A basic understanding
of the research lifecycle, scholarly communication, and the broad concepts of data management is preferred. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The preconference will include presentations, interactive group exercises, a panel of professionals involved in data management services at their institutions, and much more! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
