“…The strategy has to show an understanding of the current position and provide a definition of the desired future position. The strategy should stipulate the objectives, surface the set of planned activities, and provide a roadmap for the implementation of the initiatives over a set period (Jones et al 2013;Erway 2013;Coates 2014). Developing the strategy and set of targets largely depends on the environmental scanning (mostly a literature review) and an analysis of the expressed needs.…”

Research Data Management (RDM) services are increasingly becoming a subject of interest for academic and research libraries globally-this is also the case in developing countries. The interest is motivated by a need to support research activities through data sharing and collaboration both locally and internationally. Many institutions, especially in the developed countries, have implemented RDM services to accelerate research and innovation through e-Research but extensive RDM is not so common in developing countries. In reality many African universities and research institutions are yet to implement the most basic of data management services. We believe that the absence of political will and national government mandates on data management often hold back the development and implementation of RDM services. Similarly, research funding agencies are not yet applying sufficient pressure to ensure that Africa complies with the requirement to deposit research data in trusted repositories. While the context was acknowledged the University of Dodoma library staff realized that it is urgent to prepare for the inevitable-the time when RDM will be a requirement for research funding support. This paper presents the results of research conducted at the University of Dodoma, Tanzania. The purpose of the research was to identify and report on relevant RDM services that need to be implemented so that researchers and university management could collaborate and make our research data accessible to the international community. This paper presents findings on important issues for consideration when planning to develop and implement RDM services at a developing country academic institution. The paper also mentions the requirements for the sustainability of these initiatives.

“…More recently librarians are expanding their instructional scope to address researchers' needs in producing data sets (Coates, 2014). Researchers are increasingly being asked to manage their data in ways enabling others to discover, understand and use the data for their own purposes and to ensure its longevity beyond the project or purpose it was originally created for.…”

Developing innovative library services requires a real world understanding of faculty members' desired curricular goals. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive and deeper understanding of Purdue's nutrition science and political science faculties' expectations for student learning related to information and data information literacies. Course syllabi were examined using grounded theory techniques that allowed us to identify how faculty were addressing information and data information literacies in their courses, but it also enabled us to understand the interconnectedness of these literacies to other departmental intentions for student learning, such as developing a professional identity or learning to conduct original research. The holistic understanding developed through this research provides the necessary information for designing and suggesting information literacy and data information literacy services to departmental faculty in ways supportive of curricular learning outcomes.
