*Call for Papers: IFLA Journal special issue on Research Data Services*

Libraries and archives around the world are applying the principles of 
library and archival sciences to address challenges and provide new 
services related to research data management. Librarians are helping 
researchers address needs throughout the research data lifecycle, for 
example, by conducting assessment and outreach, consulting on data 
management plans and metadata, incorporating data into information 
literacy instruction and collection management, and providing data 
publication and preservation services.

IFLA Journal invites papers for a special issue focused on research data 
services and libraries across all continents. The issue will be 
published in October 2016 as Volume 42:3. In particular, the main goal 
of the special issue is to gather the latest theory, research, and 
state-of-the-art practices from libraries that are informing and 
innovating effective data services.
