Abstract

Libraries have been asked to provide many new services over the past several decades.  This paper aims to show how data management services were incorporated into the services that Oregon State University provides to faculty and graduate students.  The lessons learned are general and applicable to any research institute that needs to manage data or help others with managing data.
