Northwest 5 Consortium (NW5C) data curation workshop slides, lesson plan and activities

These slides were presented at a 1.5 day workshop on research data management and curation for the Northwest Five Consortium (NW5C). The NW5C is composed of Willamette University, Whitman College, University of Puget Sound, Reed College, and Lewis and Clark College. The mission of the NW5C is to enhance the student academic experience at our five liberal arts colleges through enrichment and development of faculty as teacher-scholars. Participants in the workshop included, from each university, a librarian, a faculty member, 1-2 students, and an additional person who could be from campus IT, a research technician, etc. The goal was that as a result of this workshop, research teams will: Learn to understand data curation and management as a process that is part of, and alongside, the research project lifecycle; Practice a model for librarians and researchers working together on RDMC; Learn to locate and evaluate information on best practices (and requirements) for research data management and curation (RDMC) in their domains; Appraise their own current RDMC practices; and develop and document their own practices to more efficiently plan for future projects. The lesson plan and activities are also included here
