The increasing volume and importance of research data leads to the emergence
of research data infrastructures in which data management plays an important
role. As a consequence, practices at digital archives and libraries change. In
this paper, we focus on a possible alliance between archives and libraries
around training activities in data curation. We introduce a so-called
\emph{FrontOffice--BackOffice model} and discuss experiences of its
implementation in the Netherlands. In this model, an efficient division of
tasks relies on a distributed infrastructure in which research institutions
(i.e., universities) use centralized storage and data curation services
provided by national research data archives. The training activities are aimed
at information professionals working at those research institutions, for
instance as digital librarians. We describe our experiences with the course
\emph{DataIntelligence4Librarians}. Eventually, we reflect about the
international dimension of education and training around data curation and
stewardship.Comment: TPDL 2013, accepted for workshop Education in Data Curation, preprin
