The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) has announced the appointment of Jeff Moon as the next Director of Portage. Moon has accepted a secondment commencing September 15, 2017. He succeeds Chuck Humphrey, who has held this role since September 2015.
Portage is a national research data management (RDM) initiative developed by CARL to assist researchers and other RDM stakeholders, through a library-based network of expertise and national platforms for planning, preserving, and discovering research data. As Portage enters the second year of its current business plan, it aims to continue progress made on its central goals of: fostering a community of practice for RDM; facilitating and providing leadership in the development of RDM infrastructure; and engaging and advocating for RDM with stakeholder communities.
Moon joins CARL/Portage after thirty years of service at Queen's University Library, most recently focusing on the development of RDM services in partnership with stakeholders across the library and the university. Moon has chaired the Portage Data Management Planning Expert Group, which developed and launched the successful DMP Assistant tool and related Portage Data Stewardship Template for the past two years. He currently serves on the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) Academic Council, and on the Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) External Advisory Committee.
