In a recent LibFocus guest post, Margaret Irons (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies) reflects on her experience of completing Sonraí’s Introduction to Data Stewardship micro-credential. She shares how the course strengthened her knowledge of research data management, FAIR principles, data management planning and open research, while providing practical skills she can immediately apply in supporting researchers and research excellence in her institution. The blog offers an insightful first-hand account of the programme’s impact and value for librarians, research support staff, and anyone interested in developing expertise in data stewardship.
