Data Communities: Understanding Data Sharing in the Health Sciences

  • May 21, 2020
  • 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
  • Zoom Meeting

Registration


Registration is closed
This webinar will introduce participants to the concept of a “data community,” a fluid and informal network of researchers who share and reuse a certain type of data across institutional boundaries. The health sciences have a long tradition of building data communities, and effective data sharing is now more important than ever as researchers race to combat COVID-19. Drawing on Ithaka S+R research, this webinar will explore what data communities are, why they matter, and how health science librarians can best support them.

The webinar will run for 1 hour 30 minutes. The first hour will be an interactive presentation on data communities in the context of health science research. In the final half hour, participants will have the option to join one of two breakout rooms to engage in a focused discussion of the practical implications of data communities for their work. The breakout room topics will be:

OUTREACH: How can health science librarians identify which data communities researchers on their campuses belong to (or could belong to)?

SUPPORT: How can health science librarians practically support cross-institutional data communities?
