How can the library contribute to developing research data services by focusing on training? This poster presents experiences and best practices with organizing research data management (RDM) training through the University of Oslo Library. The work is based on recommendations from the report “The Data Explosion –A Great Challenge and a Big Opportunity” that mapped existing data practices at the University of Oslo (UiO) (Working group storing and sharing of research data UiO, 2015). Based on these recommendations, a division of labor among the research support services at the university was decided upon and the university library (UL) was tasked with developing courses and training for better data practices. By establishing contact with existing initiatives, inviting in experts and holding meetings for library staff to create ownership and interest in the subject the library now has a portfolio of courses in data practices and data management that is constantly expanding.
