Driven by scientific research data sharing policy, research data management (RDM) becomes a new mission of university libraries, and an opportunity was given to change roles of the data librarians and RDM services. This paper introduces the realities and latest progress of research data management in the University of Edinburgh. The featured practices include building innovative model of RDM services, research and teaching engagements, extended RDM development with cooperation-based activities. Data librarians are engaged in new works，such as creation of research information tools, academic publishing and communication, providing digital research services. Drawing from the model of the Edinburgh University, the paper summarizes the characteristics of the new roles of data librarian and developing trends in RDM services they provide in the United Kingdom.
