the services libraries are expected to offer, a discussion of the data
lifecycle, ideas for fostering partnerships and collaboration, and
information on the ever-present legal and ethical concerns of handling
data. The afternoon program presents five case studies drawn from the hard
sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Speakers will describe
first-hand experiences in managing the unique challenges involved in
