Neue Kompetenzen, neue Handlungsfelder und erweiterte Spielräume. Forschungsunterstützende Services an der UB Wien

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the history and development of research support services at the Vienna University Library, which began in 2008 with the operation of a publication and data repository. It reports on how researchers were already involved in the pilot phase and how cooperations with other service institutions of the University of Vienna were established, how the cooperation with the Central IT Service has developed, and which services, such as a data stewardship model, have been developed over time. The systems currently in use, which have to cover a wide range of requirements from different disciplines between open science and sensitive data, and their interaction will be briefly described. Above all, it will be shown how a modular research data management system can function at a large, internationally oriented and heterogeneously structured scientific institution and what lessons could be learned in the process.
