Data Curation

Humanities Data Curation Checklist
Created by Adriana Cásarez in spring 2020, this checklist guides humanities researchers and humanities liaison librarians on key considerations for making their data findable, accessible and clear to interested scholars and institutions.

Data Curation in the Texas Data Repository
Spring 2020 capstone report from Brenna Wheeler. Brenna created a data curation workflow based on the Data Curation Network’s CURATE(D) Model to improve the findability and reusability of datasets. The workflow is localized to the Texas Data Repository using needs identified in interviews with academic librarians and assessment of datasets currently in the repository. The final product is a specialized Data Curation workflow and a list of recommendations that may be used by a team of liaison librarians to curate newly deposited datasets in the future.
