<p>The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) will
present a two-day virtual symposium (Jan. 19 and 21) designed to provide
a thoughtful, interactive, and actionable introduction to building and delivering
research data management services. Attendees will learn about the primary
activities and importance of data management across the scholarly lifecycle;
the policies, trends, and technologies affecting researchers and the
organizations that support them; and, the expertise, staffing, and resources
libraries must consider when building successful and sustainable services.</p>

data management across the scholarly life cycle. Session 2 provides an

must consider when building sustainable RDM services. Both sessions are
