Essay presentations
This was a hectic week for the MLIS group as presentations
were the order of the week. Everyone had a presentation to do and the
interrogations from the lecturer about our topics it was quite interesting to
see how we have developed some knowledge on our individual topics. After the
presentations and after the dust has settled we had a wonderful consultation
session with the lecture to receive the feedback on our assignments, indeed it
was depressing but at the same time nice experience to note that academic
writing is not for the faint hearted that was a bitter sweet experience. My
topic was: Discuss what Research data management encompasses, describing the
challenges associated with it and the role that the library is playing
RDM is an umbrella term to describe all aspects of
planning, organising, documenting, storing and sharing of data. It also takes
into account issues such as data protection and confidentiality. It provides a
framework that supports researchers and their data throughout the course of
their research and beyond. These services support the full data lifecycle
including data management planning, digital curation and metadata creation and
conversion (Tenopir et al. 2012). Click here for a snapshot
on RDM.
Let me take this opportunity to thank my classmate for
their well thought and well-presented topics, the presentations were on
both Open Access and how have libraries
accommodated the Generation Y user"
