Nucleus - Deploying Research Data Management Infrastructure At The Los Alamos National Laboratory

Research data management (RDM) efforts, including the implementation of tools, development of best practices, and training of scholars, have taken center stage in many academic libraries. Evaluating and serving the RDM needs at federally funded organizations have also become a priority since the release of the 2013 U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy memo. At the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory, the Research Library has launched a collaborative data management pilot called "Nucleus", based on a local installation of the open source software Open Science Framework. In this poster we present a preliminary assessment of Nucleus' implementation, including user feedback and lessons learned.
