Abstract</strong>: iDigBio is about partnerships and
collaboration, and libraries and archives are increasingly
interested in partnering with scientists to support <em>research
data management</em>. I'll briefly describe some of the projects
I'm working on, and the questions and challenges I'm encountering as
a data services librarian supporting<em> researcher's biodiversity
and ecological datasets</em>. These include supporting small
collections, migrating data into more supportive systems (e.g.,
Specify), and facilitating management and preservation of image data
(OMERO). I have plenty of questions; perhaps you have answers!
<p wrap=""><strong>Format</strong>: Presentation followed by open
community discussion as part of an on-going series from the <a
href="https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/Data_Management_Interest_Group"
