When it became apparent that management, sharing and preservation of data sets were creating challenges for investigators, especially after greater access was desired by researchers and the more recent mandate issued by funding agencies, some method or process needed to be established that would provide reliable, consistent, and possible, perpetual access to data sets.

This presentation will present an overview of the challenge; the response of the research library community, both within the U. S. and internationally; and the need for collaboration between STM publishers and libraries to regularize linking and citation for data sets through the work of DataCite and CrossRef.
