The role of librarians in scientific data management

Abstract

We present an analysis of the possibilities of the librarian profession with researchers for efficient management of scientific data. The result obtained through a survey of tools and currently available management techniques, demonstrates an analytical framework of support actions that librarians can provide for the development of a project on the life cycle of scientific data. It is concluded that the scientific data management requires planning solutions that include specific knowledge about the repository choice and storage techniques for the conservation and the permanent use of the data as a key to the success of a research project.
