Abstract
The National Science Foundation and other funding agencies now require researchers to include data management plans with new grant proposals. Faced with this requirement, researchers are looking to libraries for help with various aspects of research data management and curation, from creating data management plans to archiving and providing access to their research data. The University of California Libraries deliver a growing range of services and tools such as the<a href="https://dmp.cdlib.org/"> DMPTool</a>,<a href="http://n2t.net/ezid/"> EZID</a>,<a href="http://merritt.cdlib.org/"> Merritt</a>, <a href="http://webarchives.cdlib.org/">Web Archiving Service</a> and campus-based data management programs. This article discusses these initiatives, tools, and methods for campus engagement and faculty outreach, plus opportunities and challenges in developing library data services.

Because California Digital Library (CDL) is positioned independent of any campus, it can provide common infrastructure and support, as well as enable collaborative solution-seeking
A group within CDL, the University of California (UC) Curation Center (UC3)1 has taken the research data life cycle as a veritable service map to create an array of services from which campus libraries may pick and choose
