UW data librarians will be presenting in both a panel and poster session at ACRL 2015, both of which will be on the topic of research data management instruction.
At poster session 2 (Thursday, 3/26, 2-3pm in the Convention Center Exhibit Hall), Mahria Lebow and Jenny Muilenburg will be presenting results from their data management-focused session at 2014's Science Boot Camp West. "Using Active Learning Techniques to Engage Academic Librarians in Research Data Management" will illustrate the techniques they used to engage librarians in a non-introductory, 200-level research data management workshop meant to introduce attendees to RDM concepts in a hands-on way. Live polling and group work was used to generate questions, conversations and learning about various RDM topics.
The poll questions were a great way to both engage attendees and spark conversation, by letting audience members respond anonymously, while at the same time seeing how others in the audience were responding. Workshop attendees were quite positive in their feedback of the techniques used in the session, and in particular the polling section was effective. Poll questions are online at tinyurl.com/m9hvrue.
On Friday morning (3/27, 8:30-9:30am, Room A105 in the Convention Center), Jenny Muilenburg, Amanda Whitmire and Heather Coates will present on a panel titled "Promoting Sustainable Research Practices Through Effective Data Management Curricula." This session will detail how each librarian developed a strategy for teaching research data management in different contexts. Each will address how they created their content, assessed their effectiveness, and plans for future directions.
