Many academic libraries across the country are building programs that address data management issues on their campuses. These programs vary in size and complexity, from single-person operations to entire departments. The specific services offered also vary, often involving consultation services, training, software support and help with writing grants. Regardless of the specific characteristics of these efforts, they all reside within larger spheres. Whether this sphere is the library organization (with multiple departments or programs interacting with research data) or the larger campus (with organizations such as research offices and computing groups), there are impacts on priorities, implementations and ownership.
