The objective of this BoF is to explore the areas where the principles and practices in the information disciplines of archives, records management, and research data curation overlap and where they diverge. Examining alignments in theoretical frameworks, practical implementations, and goals among these information disciplines and determining areas where practitioners across them can learn from each other could lead to the development of a vibrant community of information professionals working across different domains.
Suggested Readings
For background on the issues, specifically on how digital libraries can be framed in archival theory, please see this talk by Seamus Ross.

Agenda
Welcome
Introductions (background, interests, “what brings you here”)
Goals of the BoF
Small group brainstorming discussions:
- What archives principles, practices, and tools could benefit the work of research data management professionals?
- What records management principles, practices, and tools could benefit the work of research data management professionals?
- What research data curation principles, practices, and tools could benefit the work of archives and records management professionals?
- How has your organization organized with respect to research data curation services? Is Archives involved? Is Records Management involved? If so, how has that worked? If not, why not?
- Do you know of groups that have successfully integrated or collaborated across archives, records management, and data curation services? What is good about how they do it? What could be better?
- What do you envision as potential practical outcomes or contributions from this group?
