What is research data for music researchers and performers? How can music
librarians develop their knowledge and skills to better meet the research
data needs of their constituents, and contribute to the data-intensive turn
in academia? Music Research Data Management: A Guide for Librarians explores
these questions, provides readers with a background in research data
management as it applies to specific music disciplines, and presents examples
of the data used within several of the major music and music-related
disciplines.
Many academic libraries offer extensive research data management services,
which may include support for data management planning, data description and
access, preservation, and the promotion of open data initiatives. Because of
a lack of shared vocabulary, music researchers may not realize that they work
with data and are eligible for these services. Music researchers and
performers work with items such as texts, datasets, and recordings, and
create new items for the library to curate and preserve. By drawing upon
research data management principles, music librarians can define music
research data and articulate its importance.
Music Research Data Management situates research data management within the
music disciplines and examines how music librarians can become leaders in the
evolving turn towards data-focused research and scholarship, including ways
in which our libraries can better support and curate these data. Useful to
music librarians with varying levels of experience and development in
research data management services at their libraries, this book offers a
solid foundation for building these services.
