Launched in October 2019, the Research Data Management Librarian Academy (RDMLA) was collaboratively developed by librarians, LIS faculty, and industry professionals to directly address the learning gaps in RDM training. Currently, RDMLA has 5,008 registered learners from more than 156 countries around the world. In this presentation, the RDMLA team members will outline their commitment to continuously provide comprehensive RDM training. Specifically, they will showcase three new units launched in late 2020/early 2021 in addition to the upcoming Chinese language version, produced by their translation partnership with National Taiwan University Library, which will launch summer/fall 2021. Live demos of the new and translated units will be given. They will also explore possible use applications of the RDMLA LIS faculty and librarians can use in their teaching of students and researchers. Through the RDMLA, they seek to build a global community of practice of RDM and further advance RDM practice in libraries, schools, and beyond.
