Kristin Briney has a PhD in physical chemistry and a Master’s degree in library and information studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and currently works in an academic library, advising researchers on data management planning. Her blog can be found at www.dataabinitio.com.
Apparently, NASA lost much of the early data from space
exploration, including high quality video footage of the first moon
landing. All the more reason to do as it says in the sub-title to
the book.

For researchers and consumers of data who are often fraught with
managing excess information, Briney's book offers valuable
techniques, strategies and standards to help achieve proficient
data management and successful outcomes. This book can be useful to
both novice researchers and well-established scientists
alike.
*Medical Reference Services Quarterly*
... recommended as a textbook for graduate-level research
techniques courses. It's an important resource for academic and
special library shelves and a vital reference for anyone working
with data.
*Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship*
Briney has written a useful primer on data management for
researchers which provides practical advice throughout on managing
data. It is easy to read and clearly
structured. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue75/cole

Kristin Briney’s Data Management for Researchers is a book that
should be on the shelf (physical or virtual) of every librarian,
researcher and research administrator. Scientists, engineers,
social scientists, humanists — anyone who’s work involves
generating and keeping track of digital data. This is the book for
you. .... I recommend this book without hesitation for all academic
libraries. Individual researchers, research administrators, funding
agency employees and academic librarians would all find much useful
information. Simply giving a copy to new graduate students is
probably a worthwhile investment at any institution.

*ScienceBlogs*
Briney takes the reader through a pragmatic and sensible route
through the activities of data management.
*David Bawden, Alexandria*
This practical handbook can help bring new researchers quickly
up-to-speed on the topic, as well as serve as a reference to
meet specific data management needs they encounter throughout
the data life cycle.
*Enid Karr, Journal of eScience Librarianship*
I cannot recommend this slender, seemingly innocent looking book
enough – it will literally change how you think about data
management.
*CBatt*
[I] intend to give a copy of this book to each graduate student /
trainee that joins my lab
