It appears that everything is being digitized and as such, huge data sets are now suddenly available to researchers and data scientists. But how do they use all of this data? The idea of having anything we need just a few clicks away is exciting, but when the data is not created in a way that is easily searchable and extractable, access is limited. Additionally, there are issues about ownership, management, preservation, and the rights the library offering it may or may not have regarding access. This webinar will discuss these issues and try to find the happy medium between policy and practicality. *Agenda* Introduction Todd Carpenter, Executive Director, NISO Amy Nurnberger, Research Data Manager, Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, Columbia University Ruth Duerr, Data Stewardship Program Manager, National Snow and Ice Data Center *REGISTRATION* Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 (the day of the webinar).
