As Marshall Librarian I have taken an active role in supporting the Faculty of Economics with research. I have experience of supporting Open Access and Copyright. I have also completed Masters level training in RDM in my previous role at University of Sheffield. Craig Peacock, IT Manager in Economics, and I are working together as Research Data Champions in the Faculty. We are exploring training opportunities for undergraduates and all new postgraduate students in RDM and we have also given advice on completing ESRC Data Management Plans to academic staff making grant applications.

My day-to-day job mostly involves helping postdocs and UTOs manage research funding applications and awards, through which I found myself receiving lots of questions about GDPR, research data management, and data management plans. I joined the Data Champions in order to help provide answers, and to be able to give applicants and award-holders in my department access to the network's excellent information and resources.
