Abstract
With the release of data-sharing mandates for federally-funded research, libraries and librarians have begun offering research data management services and resources. Starting small and in areas closely aligned to what is considered traditional librarianship, these types of services have quickly grown and expanded. Increased sharing of research data not only makes it easier to replicate and confirm findings but can also lead to new and unexpected uses of the data, leading to novel insights or discoveries. This chapter outlines the ways librarians and libraries can play a role in supporting researchers throughout the research data lifecycle and discusses how these services can support public engagement with science and technology. The final sections include case studies from two libraries based on interviews and a review of online documents about their services and resources, highlighting approaches they have taken, challenges they faced, and the various benefits of these types of services.
