Data Sharing Issue of Journal of Librarianship & Scholarly Communication
Hot off the presses: a new special issue of the Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication (Vol 3, Iss 2, September 2015) is dedicated to research data sharing. Articles include topics such as accessible research data, institutional data polices, data sharing practices, data citation and data management plans, as well Amanda Whitmire's write up "Implementing a Graduate-Level Research Data Management Course: Approach, Outcomes and Lessons Learned." In addition, data from the article is included in the JLSC's dataverse. Looking forward to checking out many, if not most of these articles in the very near future.

The Library "Reboot" in Nature
The current issue of Nature (Volume 495 Number 7442) is focused on changes in publishing; one article in particular highlights some of the current challenges to academic libraries, and what some organizations are doing to both remain at the University's core of research, as well as transform the way they deliver and store information.
"Publishing Frontiers: The Library Reboot" shares examples from some US, Australian and UK libraries. It covers how some libraries are focused on offering non-traditional ways to use and visualize the data and information housed by the library. It also discusses research data management, and how many libraries around the world either have or are planning to offer RDM to their campuses, in part as an extension of the information storage and retrieval that libraries have always been doing, and in part to stay central to the academic research mission. “I see us moving up the food chain and being co-contributors to the creation of new knowledge,” says Sarah Thomas, the head of libraries at the University of Oxford, UK.

Data sharing and journals
Nice post from Carly Strasser at California Digital Library about data sharing policies in journals, including a list of which journals follow the Joint Data Archiving Policy from Dryad. Although the journals that require data archiving began with those in the field of evolution, other discplines' journals are coming on board.
