Advances in computing and technology have triggered a tidal wave of data on a global scale.In this rapidly changing environment, data has become an output in its own right and stepsneed to be taken in order to ensure that data is appropriately managed, stored andpreserved. Ideal Research Data Management practices help to realise the potential of datato enrich knowledge through re-use and re-analysis, as well as provide mechanisms forvalidation and enhance reproducibility. Librarians are well-placed to support researchers tomanage their data optimally. Not only are they well-versed in metadata and findability, theyalso have an important role to play as advocates and balancing voices in a discussion whichis politically, ethically and culturally charged.This lightning talk will summarise research which explored the development of researchsupport services in New Zealand University Libraries via survey responses from all eightUniversities. The survey questions for the Research Data Management section wererepeated from a multi-country carried out in 2012. The sharing of data from the originalsurvey enabled some longitudinal analysis over this time period. Respondents were asked toprovide details on the level of services offered, partnerships with other units, job titles, stafftime, barriers to service development and skills gaps.Among the findings were a strong indication of growth in services, alongside a reduction inperceived barriers and an increase in staff capacity. The results point to a strong future forResearch Data Management support in libraries but also provide some warning as to areasthat require more development and greater level of collaboration.
