“…Much research has discussed the potential role of librarians vis-à-vis data management at the university level (e.g., Nielsen & Hjørland, 2014;Peters & Dryden, 2011;Shen & Varvel, 2013). Readers interested in a more detailed discussion of potential academic library solutions to data management needs are directed to Tenopir, Birch, and Allard (2012).…”

Developing an effective agriculture and life sciences (ALS) liaison program at a land grant institution can be challenging, as the liaison serves a wide variety of stakeholders with research, teaching, and Extension goals. New liaisons seeking to identify effective ways to support the land grant mission may desire guidance to select priority service areas. This article reviews ALS information user needs, as articulated by the users and their literature, to shed light on what they deem important. Services new ALS liaisons can considerto meet these needs within the 21st century land grant environment are then identified.

“…Embedding analytics and insights into processes and decision‐making routines is important (Bekmamedova & Shanks, ). However, according to the case studies, there are challenges to overcome in this area, such as lack of data‐driven organizational culture (Shen & Varvel, ; Dutta & Bose, ), missing analytics strategy, and lack of leadership (Phillips‐Wren & Hoskisson, ).

SUMMARYDigitization and the related datafication produce huge amounts of data. Organizations have started to exploit these new data in order to gain benefits. Exploring this 'big data jungle' is a new area for both scholars and practitioners, and the experiences of early adopters are valuable. This paper analyses big data use cases described in the academic literature by using computerized content analysis methods. Based on the analysis results, we have conceptualized themes and guidelines of big data in the context of an organization, thus contributing to the emerging research of big data. In addition to the realized benefits, the case studies reveal issues regarding technology, skills, organizational culture and decision-making processes. The paper also points out several new research avenues, acts as a reference collection to big data case studies found in academic sources, and bridges theory and practice by pointing out several topics that practitioners should consider.

As the need for research data management grows, many libraries are considering adding data services to help with the research mission of their institution. The VCU Libraries created a position and hired a director of research data management in September 2013. The position was new to the libraries and the university. With the backing of the library administration, a plan for building relationships with VCU faculty, researchers, students, service and resource providers, including grant administrators, was developed to educate and engage the community in data management plan writing and research data management training.
